By Mr Thomas Reid, Sydney, N. S. W. Game 688. — At 18th move White has a neat win, by playing 19 15 Instead of 22 18. Game 689.— At 24th move instead of 32 27, play 22 17, 4 8, 29 25 and White should win. Game 6»9. — The 9th move is given as a loss for Black by Wyllie. Hay in his " Pioneer" game at 14th move plays 26 23, and then 30 25 to either 8 11 or 7 11. Game 702.— At 20th move instead of 2318 play as follows : — 23 19 6 9 26 23 514 22 18 2 7 8 ll(a) 23 18 914 24 20 14 17 14 9 27 23 15 18 9 15 24 18 14 17 22 And White must win, although a man down. («) If 6 9, 26 23 forces the same position. Problem 509.— 1 think that Mr Crookßton is wrong about this Problem. At 7th move of solution (38th move of game 697) he plays 9 5 instead of 21 17 and then gives a loser for Black— l 2 16. Tor a draw try 1 ii as under :—: — Black 1, 2. 7, 8, 12, 15, 16, 18, 19.
