NEW ZEALAND CHAMPIONSHIP.
The following games were played between Messrs J. A. Boreham (Oamaru) and James Beecot (Mnndeville). Notes are by Mr Beecot in the Southern Standard. C4ame o'}72— " Denny." Boreham's movo.
(a) Much better than 11 15, which leads to a weak game for Black. (b) Barker's A.C.P. gives 32 27 here. (c) 9 14, 18 9, 1 5, etc., gives a good even game. (d) Played for the purpose of enticing or forcing the White piece on 26 to play down to 17, which would eventually allow Black a two for one cut.
(c) The piece on 26 not feeling disposed to advance on its own accord now receives a gentle reminder to "move on."
(c) It will be noticed that for the past 16 moves the whole, game lias rested on the manipulation of the piece now on square 14, and every move has been made bearing directly or indirectly on this piece. White loses the game by trying to save the man. He should now have sacrificed it temporarily and drawn, as follows :
Game 5973-" Whilter." Baecot's move.
Mr A. Salton and Mr P. T. Best. It will bo observed that from the time Mr Best commences to give away a piece he does not stop until his 12 men are forced to be taken. This is rather unusual, and quite unique even in tha losing game.
