Strickland. (b) Probably the stiongest reply, though 24 19 is pieferred by many of the leading experts. (c) Best , against anything else White secures the better game. (d) Stucklancl's play up to this point. Here lie \aries as follows — 2« 22 8 11 32 28 20 27 21 20 10 14 6 10 27 23 16 20 31 24 15 24 19 15 23 18 12 Hi 23 19 5 !» £8 19 Drawn. — W. Stuckland, 1880. Ie) The position is now critical for White ; he dare not "cut" 23 19, as the exchange •would give Black the " move " and a winning position. (f) We add the continuation for the benefit of the amateur, as follows — 31 26 26 £2 22 18 17 22 22 26 26 31 ?,4 19 10 1 7 3 3 8 8 11 19 15 Drawn.
