" Switcher."

There were a few minor lines of attack for Black not played in the recent " 29-25 " match. The following variations, by Mr Wylliq, embrace the most promising' of these, and may be said to complete tho play for a draw after the " 29-25 " move in the " Switcher :"—

(i) Mr Martins also had a draw prepared on this lino ; his play at this point being 18-15 :—: — 18 15 10 6 14 8 7 14 25 IS 1 19 4 11 Drawn. In the interesting- variations which now follow, Mr Wyllio forces a draw for White when two men down. This supplementary play, as also his games in the match, shows how thoroughly he had mastered the. theory of the defence after the " 29-25 " move ;—

TAs there are still three of our chess and -draughts correspondents slightly in error in the .solutions forwarded to us, we purpose giving them another week to see if they cannot find out the very natural mistake they have fallen into.— Ed. Chess Column.]
