(c) 10 QR-Q sq would prevent JO — B-83, for then 17 BxltP, etc. (d) A hold and woll planned sacrifice. (e) 21 B-B3 and — BxKt would result less unfavourably for White. (f) Cleverly played, regaining the sacrificed piece with a good pame (p) It was altogether iniwiso to removo the queen so far away, ami precipitates dofeat. Giuoco PIANO.

Nona, (a) An injudicious sacrifice of a pawn, or did White intend to adopt the Max Lunge attack, which runs :-4 Casiles-Kt-83, 5 P-Q4, and accidentally play the QP a move too soon. (b) Wo think that, castling should have been effected bofore this advance. (c) Taking the pawn plays the opponent's game; 10 Q-K2, threatening Q-1W ch, seems the right course. (d) Mr. flosking being unwell, Mr. S. White, secretary of the Auckland Club, finished the gamo. (e) Mr. Skeet has taken due advantage of the orrors on the other side, and now finishes off with force and precision. (0 If 22 I£-Kt sq, than 22 - Q-Kt3 ch, and mates ill two. mmmmmmmmmm m mm mmm
