(Notes by Mt F. Hilliker, Champion.) (*.) This move something of a rarity. (b) This cut cleverly runs the game into a position at (c) That could arise from the 9 13 " Bristol," thus:— ll 16, 24 20, 16 19, 23' 16, 12 19, 22 18, 9 13, 18 15, 5 9, 25 22, 9 14, 29 25, 14 18, 20 16, 10 14. (d) A draw may be- found after this 2 7, but White appears the stronger. Instead try 1 5, 31 27, 5 9, 24 20, 18 23, 27 18, 14 23, and some splendid play is evolved: against Black's beat, White can draw.
