Mr. W. G. Adams writes : —" If you want a good end game problem I would suggest the Ke.rrie-Scott ending, which you published on Saturday. Position: —Black men on 2, 17. 21, king on 24; While men on 10. 14, 26, king on 23. The following solution will show that Mr. J. A. Kear's correction is not a White win :—24—20. 14—9. 20—16, 9-5(1). 16—12(a), s—l, 2—6. Drawn. (a) Mr. Krar plays 16—11, which gives White the game. (1) 10—6, 2-7, 6—2. 7—lo, 2—6, 10—15, 9—5, 15—19, 6—9, 17—22. Drawn. This solution may seem a bit simple. V" so it is surprising that an expert like Mr. J. A. Kear should fail to sec it.
