Game recently played between Messrs V. Moss (Naseby) and J. Edwards (Otago), in the ITaseby-Otago Telegraphic Match — Two Knights' Defence.
Appended is a prettily-played game in the match between Messrs Schlechtcr and Jauoweki, played recently in Bohemia. —
(a) Unusual, and very tame for such a player as Janoweki. He gets behind in his development as a consequence. (b) Good. Schlechter has apparently changed to an aggressive player. He is not now the "drawing" master. (c) Another quite out of Hie style we expect from Janowski. (d) The first aggressive blow. White's development ia so superior to Black's that he can readily form his plans.
(c) A very important move, as will be seen presently.
(y) Now begins a series of very telling moves, the result being that Black has no escape for his Q, and it has to be given up for a rook. A very fine illustration of the value of development. Janowski appears not to have benefited by his prolonged stay at Monte Carlo after the tcurney there was over. — Leeds Mercury.
Lively game played at the City of London Chess Club, in a match between R Loman (White) and C. H. Sherrard (Black) -

he- Gambit
(b) Players nowadays decline complications, although to capture the pawu theoretically wins the game.
(c) We much prefer Kt-K B 3, which deprives Black of the counter attack that follows.
(d) The Falkbeer Counter Gambit
(c) All these moves have been played before by Mr Loman, ia a game against Mr Trenchard. This continuation, P-K Xt 4, was invented by Charousek.
(f) Hotfer cays the best variation is 8 B-K 2 9 B-Kt 2, Q-R 4 ; 10 P x P, Kt-Q 3, etc. (g) A daring line of play, which secures the exchange for the piece that could not be saved.
(h) Ail excellent move, which seems to decide the game.
(i) Black plays desperately to try and save the game, but his case is hope'.esa.
(j) This effectually neutralises the force of Black's threatened P-Q 7.
(k) An interesting passage of arms — not by any means a wood-shifting exhibition. There is a brightness about the play on both sides which is refreshing, although we wish Black had allowed White to fire off with his favourite King's Bishop Gambit! — Bristol Times and Mirror.
