DRAUGHTS.-Problem 589.
By Mr W. Stmoklaud. (From Leeds Weekly Mercury.)
"The above position," writes Mr Strickland, recently occurred in play between Mr David Cohen, Of Leeds, and myee f. 1 was 'sailing away' utider the impreß3ion ihat I had an easy win, but my opponent's line of play completely dispelled my illusion." Our esteemed correspondent will probably be surprised to learn that the position is identical with So 3 In "Bowen'a Cross," give -,a 8 a draw when BL*k moves first, but a win if White has first play. Mr Cohen'a play is different to the solution given in the book, however; aud as the position 1b also an in»tructive one we have pleasure in repeating It.— Draughts Editor.
