Edwards (Zukertort's Opening) : By an unfortunate oversight Mason, on his 24th move, played a knight, where it was captured for nothing. Edwards held ors tenaciously to the advantage, and Mason resigned on the 54th move. Davies v. Forsyth (Queen's Gambit Declined) : At the 12th move Forsyth attacked prematurely, thereby losing a rook for a bishop. Meanwhile Davies' attack grew irresistible, and Forsyth resigned on the 36th move. Griereon v. Kelling (Giro Karan Defence) : Grierson developed a freer game than his opponent up to the 10th move. At the 18th move the Aucklander moved 'a knight prematurely, and the exchanges resulting were in Rolling's favour.
