Problem 3352. Key move : B-Q E. 1, Problem 3353. Key move: K-Kt 6,

GAMES. Tie following jam*, Jrtaiea between Dr

OUand (White) and H Wolf (Black) in the Masters' International Tourney at Carlsbad, is said to be the most brilliant game of the tournament: — \

Notes m the Field. (a Independent of the question whether Dr Olland's subsequent play was sound or not, or whether Wolf should have won, we would not suggest this close defence, but simply develop with P-K 3 and B-K 2. (b) Playing for -the open file for the attack and providing a support for Kt-B 5. (c) Preventing Kt-B 5, because 12 Q x Q eh, followed by B x P. (d) Now, of course, Black having removed all obstacles to Kt-B 5, White stops the advance, but at the expense of a weakening rj&ve. Still there is the justification in the hope of a quicker attack than his opponent. (c) A tempting sacrifice, and the logical sequence of the doctor's plan of attack. (r) Black is jußt in time in creating this diversion, which has to be attended to by White. (g) 30 ... B-Kt 4, followed by R-Q B 1. would have been the right course, but this' was only on analysis. (n) Too late now. (i) A beautiful conclusion to » brillis.ni game. If 40 . * K-R 2, then 41 X R 8 eh, etc.
