But lie might dive at the first stroke without exercising his powers of deep analyant* then his opponent—perhaps a third-rater—would have little difficulty in discerning the boomerang recoil. (a) C. F. Barker, the great American player, used to move'7—lo, 14—7; 3—lo at this stage. -This also draws. The best move, however, is 2—6, introduced by G. M. Tanner, the Chicago expert, against Alf, Jordan in an American tournament. The draw for White after this move is extremely narrow. (b) 19—15 looks like a win here. What say the critics?
