MARSHALL v. JANOWSKY
T'he above match was played at the Cercle Philidor, Paris. The sixth game resulted in a draw after 52 moves. In the seventh game Janowsky played exceptionally weak for so correct a player as he is known to be. Marshall took advantage of all opportunities and won in 31 moves. The score now stands: Marshall, 3; Janowsky, 2; and 2 games drawn. We give below the third and fifth games in the match played January 28th and February 2nd, 1905, respectively : —* (“Queen’s Gambit Declined.”) White. Black. F. J. Marshall. D.

(a) A modification of the variation introduced by Pillsbury at the Hastings Tournament, Kt—K 5, before Castling, and ever since innumerable variations have been tried. At this stage the move is distinctly bad (b) White has already the inferior game, practically an isolated pawn at K 5, Black having two Bishops. (c) The Kt at Q 6 serves no other purpose than to remain with the Bishops of different colour if Black were good enough to take it off. (d) The alternative would be 21, P—B 4 or xt —B 4. The text move is extremely unsatisfactory. (e) The game really commences now. Black sacrifices a pawn temporarily for attack and position. (f) 22, R x R, P x R; 23, R—Q sq, P x p. 24, P x P, B x Kt P; 25, R x P woufd’be equally bad, Black remaining Avith two powerful passed paAvns. B 4 (cli), followed by Kt x B, with slightlv better chances for a draAV, especially (g) If 80 . . - P x P, then 31, Kt—as the Kt, as it stands, has no scope whatever. (h) The move really makes no difference, as Black could get the passed Pawn Avhenever he chooses. (i) Forced; othenvise B —B 6. (i) White has no move after this except X or Kt, either move losing.
