If the composer can fiiminatc this fault without seriously effecting the rest of the play, it would be an excellent three-mover. One solver has pointed out that the position i c an impossible one. a- the Black p on K Kt 1 could not get there by any legal moves. This, however, is not a major fault.

NOTES If is announced in Australia that Lajos Steiner, the Hungarian master, who toured New Zealand two years ago, and who has recent! • settled in Australia, is engaged to Miss Edna Kingston, the present lady chamWe also learn that M. E. Goldstein was recently married in Australia. The International Teams Tourney has commenced at Buenos Aires, with 27 teams taking part. They are to be divided into four sections, three of which will be of seven teams and one of them of six. The four leaders in each section will then take part in the finals. The unsettled conditions in Europe were responsible for the absence of many teams, as it was anticipated that about 40 . teams would be competing.
