TO CORRESPONDENTS.
F C Barker. Ashburton.— Your solutions of Problems 2541 and 2544 are correct. In 2542 your first move for White (25 22) loses at once by 59. In 2543, your play draws all right, but the draw is a really difficult contract, whereas you make it easy. For your fourth move play 18 14, then crown the White single p\ece, and Black has »' delicate task. W. Dunn.— Thanks for problem. Hope there are more to follow.— Are you coming south at Christmas? «
T. G-., Greendale.— Letter juat to hand, but magazine received earlier. Shall give attention to play. T. F. Cleaky, Plymouth, Eng.— Thanks for continued attention.
