GAMES.

The following gamei were played In the English Championship Tournament. Mext week we may give a few of the most interesting end games.': — Gamb 1718—" Single Corner." Played between Matssrs Beattie and liiohmond : —

Beattie's move.

a At this point Beattie varies from Drumoaond, who plays 8 11. o The game looks decidedly promising fer Black at this stage. c It is questionable if Black has nught better. a The strategy of thlt move will be seen later on— part of Richmond's plan to crowd Black's forces on to the side.

c Just in time. / Beattie, even as late as this, was under the impression that he bad the best game. g George Jewitt shows a neat draw here as follows:— 9 13, 18 25, 13 17, 25 22, 17 28, 30 23, 11 15— Drawn.

h Exceedingly neat, and came like an electric shock upon Beattie.
