Notes by Mr A. J. Heffner. (a) Probably the losing move. Ib) The correct reply. \c) Playing for 26 22, 11 16, 22 15, 14 18, 23 14, 16 23, 27 18, 10 28, and Black's difficulties are removed. (d) If 4 8, then 24 20 would be the proper move to win. (c) 26 2a would have heen more precis*. [r) Some of the experts thought Audrey

had missed the win at (c), thinking that 10 15. 19 10, 6 15, 17 10, 7 14, would hay« drewn here These views appear wrong, for continue with 26 22, 3 7, *31 26, 4 8, 22. 17, 7 10, 20 16, 12 19, 23 16, and JJFhite can still vein.
