MONTHLY BUDGET. 

On entering to-day the second stage of our existence, we feel as if we had cast 
aside the dress of infancy and donned the garb of manhood ; we feel as if we had 
passed the uncertain and experimental age of youth, and, with the valuable support 
of our kind friends, successfully reached the years of maturity ; we feel the relief 
which follows the struggle (for struggled we have, and with energy,) to create a 
fair Chess periodical, and we cherish the belief that our efforts have not been un- 
rewarded. We are encouraged, at least, to think so, by the encomiums and ap- 
proval, which our esteemed contemporaries, both here and abroad, have generous- 
ly bestowed on us. It will be our aim to continue deserving this favorable 
opinion. 

We have already set forth our programme in the last number, and we now only 
crave a continuance of our kind friends' support, in order to carry out our 
promises. 

— The Manhattan Chess Club, of New York, which membership reaches 
already the respectable number of 200, is again looking for more spacious quar- 
ters. The regular annual handicap tournament is to commence about the end of 
October. The Chronicle offers the following special prizes : to the winner of 
the first prize, one year's subscription to the Chronicle ; to the winner of the 
second prize, six months' subscription to the Chronicle ; and six months' sub- 
scription to the Chronicle to the player having to his credit the most brilliant 
game of the tournament. 

— Richmond, Virginia, has started a Chess club. It was organized on the 28th 
of August last, with nearly thirty members. Senator John W. Johnston was 
unanimously elected President, and Mr. A. M. Kelly, Vice-President ; Mr. Leroy 
S. Edwards, Secretary and Treasurer. This is the only Chess club that has exist- 
ed since the war. We shall be happy to receive occasional reports of the progress 
of this club started under so brilliant circumstances. 

— The much talked of match between Messrs. Elson and Thompson, of Phila- 
delphia, has not yet commenced, as stated by error in some Chess papers ; the 
game published as the first of the match was only a preliminary or trial game ; the 
match, it is said, will positively commence on the 1st of November. 

— Mr. James McConnell, of New Orleans, one of the strongest players in the 
South, was a visitor at the rooms of the Manhattan Chess Club in September last, 
and played a number of " skittling " games with Captain Mackenzie. We publish 
to-day two of these very lively skirmishes.

— In the tournament of the Thurlow, Pa., Chess Club, the following odds are 
given : the first-class players Q R to the second class, and Q to the third. The 
second-class players give Q R to the third. Among the first-class players are 
Messrs. C. E. Dennis and Miner. We publish in another section a very interest- 
ing letter from one of the leading members of this Club. 

— Chess in Milwaukee seems to be at a standstill. The following, which ap- 
peared in a recent issue of the Sunday Telegraph, tells the story : " For some un- 
explainable reason interest in Chess matters in this city is at a standstill, if not ac- 
tually on the decline ; of the two local organizations one is virtually extinct, and 
the regular weekly attendance at the other has not averaged five members during 
the past two months." We are sorry to hear of this state of affairs, and hope that 
the Milwaukee boys will wake up and bring the club to a prominent position 
among the other clubs of the States. 

— The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette has the following welcome news, which we 
publish without comment: "We have a note from the officers of the Chicago Chess 
Club, denying the truth of the item in the Milwaukee Sunday Telegraph, stating 
that the Chicago Club has been disrupted by quarrels and a defalcation of its 
Treasurer. It is evident that the club still holds its organization, and we hope 
it is in good running order."

Brooklyn Chess Chronicle, 3 

— Danites Chess Club, of Brooklyn. — The season of 1883-4 was opened by the 
Danites Chess Club on Thursday evening September 20th, at a meeting held at 
the residence of the President of the club, Dr. Wilde, which was very well 
attended. The greater portion of the evening was devoted to the games, after 
which, while seated at the table surrounded by the remains of an enjoyable repast, 
the members discussed plans for the coming season. It was decided that the 
officers for the ensuing year should be chosen at the next meeting and a special 
committee was appointed to prepare rules for the annual tourney. A new idea 
regarding the championship was discussed, which was to have the winner of last 
year's tourney be declared the champion for this season, the title to be held against 
all comers until defeated by a challenger in a single match game, when it will pass 
to the winner, subject to like conditions ; this to be a separate affair from the current 
tourney. If this plan is adopted Mr. Thayer, as the winner of last year's tourney, 
will be called upon to defend his title to the championship against the attacks of 
his fellow knights. The second meeting was held September 27th at the 
residence of Mr. W. P. Sands, No. 219 Greene avenue. There was a good attend- 
ance and many interesting games. Mr. Robert Yates, the well-known 
champion checker player, was present and showed that he could also play 
chess. The games were followed by a generous lunch, which, having 
been disposed of, the members proceeded to the election of officers for 
the ensuing year. Dr. Wilde, who has for a number of years filled the office 
of President, declined a re-election, and Mr. Anton Metz was elected to 
the position. The club then unanimously re-elected Mr. John Reynolds, 
Secretary for another term. The special committee appointed at the last 
meeting recommended that the Annual Tourney be opened on October 18th 
and that the rules governing last year's tourney, with a few unimportant changes, 
be continued in force. President elect Mr. Metz, Secretary Mr. Reynolds, ex- 
President Dr. Wilde, and Messrs. De Groot, Thayer, Nesmith, Manvel, Frommell, 
O'Higgins, Yates, and the host, Mr. Sands were the winners of the games in the 
first part of the evening. The third meeting was held on the nth of October, and 
several new members were elected. 

— For the annual handicap tournament of the City of London Chess Club one 
hundred names have already been entered ; this is said to be the largest number 
known to have been entered for any tournament in the world. 

— As we announced in our number of August 1, the committee in charge of 
forming a Chess circle in Treviso, Italy, has been very successful. The circle was 
formally established on the second of July, with 32 members. In referring to the 
matter the Nuova Rivista degli Scacchi says that the circle was organized with a 
President, three Directors, a Secretary and Treasurer. Signor Radaelli was 
elected President, and Signor Pettine, Secretary. We wish great success to the 
new club. 

— The committee in charge of the arrangements for the Venice Tournament 
have thought proper to elect honorary members Messrs. Serafino Dubois and 
Centurini Luigi; said gentleman having done a great deal towards the advance- 
ment of the noble game.

will begin on Tuesday evening, October 23d. The committee has adopted the 
same rules that governed last year's tournament. 

— The Philadelphia Chess Club and the Manhattan Chess Club, of New York, 
have each appointed a committee of two to arrange the preliminaries for the match 
between the two clubs. 

— We call the attention of our readers, as a curiosity, to our game No. 107, 
which was started by our J. B. Mufioz in August, 1882, went the mirthful round, 
and has been returned to us, published by the London Chess Monthly, from which 
we copy, with its editor's notes. 



THE INVIOLABILITY OF CHESS. 

In -this age, so impregnated with the spirit of gambling, where every contest 
and every event is made a source of speculation, and even the royal, ancient game 
of Chess would be disgraced by those who would reduce it to the same low level 
as monte and roulette, it is gratifying to find bold advocates who, sustaining the 
purity of our intellectual game, come valiantly forth to rescue it from the abyss 
into which the money-making spirit would drag it. 

I have always admired the views that the Chronicle has maintained on this 
subject, and I applaud most heartily the excellent articles recently published in 
the Chess department of the Canadian Illustrated News, ably commending the 
game as a moral household amusement, and warmly advocating its more general

adoption in this innocent spirit. I am sorry that I have not these papers before 
me, so as to quote some of the very well weighed remarks and suggestions which 
the able writer sets forth. They would undoubtedly interest your enlightened 
readers. 

The reproachable system of matches for large stakes, which has become so general, 
and which gives place to endless strife, abusive, unmannerly contentions in the 
public press, and rancorous feelings among many, is much to be lamented, for it is 
incompatible with the decency of the game. 

Be it understood that I do not condemn in toto the system of matches between 
professionals, even for pecuniary stakes, for undoubtedly these contests attract 
much interest to the game and serves to stimulate the players to greater efforts and 
produce the brilliant parties which serve as models for the ambitious amateurs ; 
but I do take exception to the generalization of this practice, which should be 
limited to professional circles, and even by these indulged in a moderate and 
courteous manner. 

I say that it is gratifying, amidst this prevailing spirit of the times, to find champions 
who support the legitimate nature of the game, and endeavor to sustain the 
supremacy of Chess, not only as the king of intellectual games, but also as a source 
of classical recreation, and not of pecuniary strife. x 

Brooklyn, October 2, 1883. 



CHESS IN VENEZUELA. 

Caracas, July 17, 1883. 
Chess Editors Brooklyn Chess Chronicle : 

Dear Sirs: — I am in receipt of your esteemed favor of the 14th of June, and I 
thank you very much for the copy of the Chronicle you had the kindness to send 
me. I am very much pleased with it, and I think I can procure several subscribers 
for it if you so desire it. 

Chess in Venezuela does not amount to much. We have no established club, 
the few players, such as our champion, Mr. P. A. Diaz, Mr. A. Z^rega and a few 
others, meet occasionally at our different private residences. We have recently 
been talking about establishing a club, and I may here say that the prospects are 
good, and I will probably let you know soon our decision about the matter, and 
will give you the particulars if we arrive at some decision. 

I enclose a game played a few evenings ago at my house between our champion, 
Mr. Diaz, and Mr. J. M. Alvarado, which you may publish should you find it with 
interest enough for your Chronicle. 

Last month we had a little excitement on account of a match between Messrs. 
Diaz and Z£rega for a supper for twenty persons at the hotel Delfino. The match 
was for first 9 games, and was won by Mr. Diaz with a score of 9 to 6. 



6 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 

I will have particular pleasure in keeping you posted about Chess doings in this 
city, and hoping to continue receiving your valuable publication, I remain 

Yours, very truly, 

Jos£ A. Moreno. 



CHESS IN THURLOW, PA. 

Thurlow, Pa., Oct. 8, 1883. 
Chess Editors Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 

Dear Sirs : — Glad to read the many favorable notices of your Magazine lately ; 
they are all deserved. Hope the change you propose will be favorably received, 
and think it will. Chess in Thurlow is very popular at present. Perhaps a few 
particulars regarding our Chess Club may interest you. It was organized about 
a year ago with fifteen members to x start with ; we now number twenty-six active 
and one honorary member ; stand well financially ; meet in a very pleasant though 
rather small room, located at Third and Trainor sts.; have plenty of good chess- 
men and chess tables made especially for us, and anticipate some very lively times 
at the club room this fall and winter. The initiation fee is $2.50 and the an- 
nual dues $6.00. The Annual Tournament now in progress is exciting much in- 
terest among the players, notwithstanding the slow rate at which it moves along. 
Only one game per week is played at present, but it is very probable the second 
round will be hurried forward somewhat faster by a change in the rules. To 
an outsider the handicapping doubtless appears to have been done in a very crude 
manner and probably has been, but it works much better than was at first 
anticipated. 

The Thurlow Chess Club has received a challenge from the Rook Chess Club of 
Media, Pa., to play a team match of a series of games to be played in Media, 
and a return series in Thtfrlow. No action has yet been taken on the chal- 
lenge, as it has just been received. We think, however, it will be accepted in a 
modified form. The Rook Chess Club was organized about a year ago with the 
following officers : President, Dr. A. E. Osborne ; Vice-President, Dr. Harry 
Campbell; Secretary, Miss Julia Schelling ; Treasurer, Miss Mary Williamson. 
The first fall meeting will be held on the 24th of this month, at which time the an- 
nual election of officers will take place. The full membership is about twenty-five. 
The following are a few of the most prominent players : C. D. M. Broomhall, 
Prof. N. H Strong, Prof. W. W. Lamborn, A. E. Osborne, Lewis Smith, Harry 
Campbell, Edward Hall, Dr. Harry Smedley, Miss Schelling, Miss Mary William- 
son, Miss Rebecca Williamson, Miss Annie Dale. 

I enclose the latest score in our tournament. Mr. C. J. Brown has withdrawn 
and the games played by him will be canceled. 

Wishing the Chronicle continued prosperity, I remain, 

Yours, sincerely, 

D. Ennis.

(a) The correct move, to prevent Kt to Q Kt 5. 

(b) Not advisable. P to Q Kt 4 is generally played 
at this juncture. 

(c) An oversight, costing a Pawn. 

(d) Of course. 

(e) A mistake. Q to R 3 was the correct move. 

(f) Here Black could have improved its bad posi- 
tion by playing P x P.

NOTES. 

(a) B to K 3 is generally considered better at this 
juncture. . , 

(b) B to B 4 seems better, preventing Black's move 

P to Q 4. 

(c) This sacrifice of a piece for three Pawns is quite 
sound. , , , . _ , 

(d) The Queen could not have safely taken the Rook. 

(e) A miscalculation ; Q x P ch would have brought 
the game to the same position after having captured a 

Pawn: _ . . 

i 3 ..QxPch. i 3 ..Oinbest. 

i 4 ..QtoK Kt6ch i 4 ..Qinbest. 

15. .Qx Q etc. 

<f) Very injudicious. wm 

' (g) B to 6 6 ch, followed by K to Kt 3 would have 
improved the game. 

(h)RxB appears to be better 

(i) A mistake. Again B to K 6 ch followed by K to 
Kt 3 would have left the Bishops in better position. 

h) The correct reply. m 

(k) This move loses a piece, which could have been 
saved by playing R to K 5 ! 

(1) A hasty move. Why not take the Bishop ? 

(m) Undoubtedly a miscalculation. 

(n) Hasty. Why not take the Pawn with Rook ?

NOTBS. 

(a) This is loss of time when compared with his next 
move. The best answer seems 7. . B x B ; 8. .Kt x B. 
Kt to K 4 ; 9- P to K B 4, Q to Q Kt 3 ; 10. .Q to Q a, 
Kt to Kt 1. %ttL t „ „ 

(b) 8 . . P to O, R 3 at once would be met by 9. B x B, 
PxB; io..KttoB4- , „ „ 

(c) This seems almost compulsory. 13. .P to K Kt 3 
is not a safe alternative. 

(d) Necessary to stop the hostile pawns, but it cramps 
the action of the Q terribly. 

(e) A grave error which allows the entrance of the 
white Kt into the heart of his position 16. .Q R to K 
followed by Kt to Q seems the only course. 

(f) A very deep move, preparatory to playing Kt to 
Q B 4, when if the Kt take, White recaptures with Q, 
threatening a dis ch. If on the other hand Black lets the 
piece alone, White threatens Kt x Kt, throwing the Q 
R to the seventh rank if y P retake 

(g) Again this seems weak ; why not Kt to Q a ? 
(h) Which practically decides the game. 

Ji) Black, however, commits a fatal mistake and gives 
White an easy victory. 

(j) Of course if 33- Q x Q, then 24.. Kt x P ch, and 
25 . . Kt x Q, remaining a piece ahead with a fine game.

NOTES. 

(a) This mode of defence to the Bishop's Gambit is 
a favorite one with Mr. McConnell, but in our opinion 
it is hardly judicious to bring the While Queen into 
action so early. 

(b) A slip arising probably from want of practice 
K R to K was the correct reply, compelling White 
either to move the King or play B to K 3.

(a) Somewhat inferior, we think, to 7-.Kt to K B 3. 

(b) He cannot afford to play 8.. P to K Kt 4 on ac- 
count of blocking in his Queen. 

(c) Black threatened 14.. Kt x K P. 

(d) Very well played ; as it gets rid of White's dan- 
gerous King's Bishop. 

(e) Immediately fatal. K to Kt 2 would have pro- 
longed the struggle, but the result must still have been 
the same. 

(0 The effect of this quiet little move is curious. It 
leaves White absolutely without resource.

MONTHLY BUDGET. 

— At a meeting of the Baltimore Chess Association lately held, it was resolved 
to increase the attractions this season, by moving into larger quarters, and a com- 
mittee was appointed to solicit subscriptions for this object. We are glad to hear 
that the committee has been very successful, and that the Baltimore Chess Asso- 
ciation occupies to-day elegant and commodious apartments in the " Robinson" 
building, corner of Charles and Saratoga streets. On the opening night Mr. A. G. 
Sellman undertook to play fifteen simultaneous games, vanquishing eleven of his 
opponents, and drawing two games and losing two. 

— A new Chess Club is to be formed in Newark. Referring to the matter, the 
Newark Sunday Call sajrs : " Several members of the Young Men's Hebrew As- 
sociation of this city have agreed to form an informal Chess Club for practice. 
Twenty gentlemen have signified their assent to the scheme." We hope they will 
meet with great success, and that before long we may hear of Newark having a 
regular established Club. 

— Mr. Steinitz arrived in New York on Sunday, the 14th of October, and after 
spending a few days with a friend in Long Branch proceeded to Philadelphia, to 
fulfill an engagement of five weeks at the Philadelphia Chess Club. 

— The Paul Morphy Chess Association of this city has very pleasant rooms at 
427 Gates avenue, where the members and their friends meet on the evenings of 
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday of each week. The Club numbers thirty mem- 
bers. The officers lately elected are President, Dr. James T. Bundick; Vice- 
President, W. W. Silver ; Secretary, W. Edmonstone; Treasurer, Charles Jung ; 
Librarian, H. Whittelesey. The Executive Committee is composed of Messrs. G. 
H. Spring, W. S. Culvin, John Wood, J. Van Wagener, J. S. Bundick and Prof. 
J. E. Ryan. 

— The Baltimore Sunday News announces a second problem tourney with the 
following conditions: 

The tournament to be open to the world. 

Any number of original and unpublished problems may be entered, but joint 
compositions are inadmissible. Each problem must have a separate motto and 
be a direct mate in three moves, plainly diagrammed, with solution in full on back 
of diagram. 

Problems must be mailed on or before March 1st, 1884, to C. E. Dennis, 
Chess Editor, Baltimore Sunday News, Thurlow, Delaware county, Pa., U. S. A. 



18 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 

An envelope containing the mottoes of the problems and name and address 
of the composer plainly marked on the outside " News No. 2," to be sent to Dr. 
H. K. Weiler, Delanco, Burlington county, New Jersey. These envelopes not to 
be opened until after the award is complete, which will be made in the following 
manner : The Chess editor, with the assistance of Messrs. H. E. and J. Bettman, 
will select twelve of the bfcst problems to be submitted to the Judges, Messrs. H. 
J. C. Andrews, London ; J. Dobrusky, Prague ; S. Loyd, Jersey City, N. J., and 
W. A. Shinkman, Grand Rapids, Mich., who will appraise the picked problems — 
consulting, if they desire to — according to the following scale ; 

Theme and originality 25 Points 

Difficulty 20 

Beauty 20 

Economy and variety 20 

Correctness 15 



The problems receiving the highest total number of points to be the prize 
winners. Should any of the prize problems prove seriously defective, the prob- 
lems ranking next in merit according to the judges' appraisal will be promoted to 

fill the vacancies. 

PRIZES. 

For best direct mate problem in three moves $25 00

— La Strangle says : Mr. C. Bexley Vansittart, of Rome, has recently purchased 
the Chess library of the late Count Valerio Salimbeni, of Modena, comprising about 
400 volumes and containing many of the rarest and most valuable works. Among 
these are mentioned Carrera, 16 17 ; Cozio, 1766 ; Damiano, 1524 ; Ercole del Rio, 
1750; Gianutio, 1597; Lolli, 1763; Lopez, 1584; Ponziani, 1769; and Salvio, 
1604; besides complete collections of such magazines as the " Palamede," the 
"Schachzeitung," the "Chess Players' Chronicle" (of Staunton), "Sissia," etc. 
The price paid was 3,700 francs ($740). Mr. Vansittart has now, with this addi- 
tion, a collection of upwards of 700 volumes. 

The Fourth National Italian Chess Tournament was, as we announced in one of 
the former numbers of the Chronicle, opened at Venice on the 26th of August 
last, under the presidency of Vice-President Colonel Penzo, and in the presence of 
a numerous assembly, Signor Salvioli acting as Secretary. The battle commenced 
on the 27 th, the combatants being ten, as follows : Signor Vansittart, of Rome ; 
Signor Cantoni, of Rome ; Signor Zon, of Padua ; Signor Zannoni, of Bassano ; 
Signor Casalini, of Vicenza ; Signor D'Aumiller, of Faenza ; Signor Orsini, of 
Leghorn ; Signor Salvioli, of Venice ; Signor Previtali, of Venice ; Signor Crosara, 
of Venice. 

The prizes had been definitely established as follows : 1st Prize, 750 lire (1 lira 
being equal to 1 French franc) ; 2d Prize, 400 lire ; 3d Prize, 250 lire ; 4th Prize, 
150 lire. 

Another special prize of 100 lire was offered by Signor Vansittart to the players 

who, having obtained no prize, would score more points against the prize-winning 

players, the points to be computed in this way : 

4 Points for each game won against the winner of the first prize. 
3 " " " " second prize. 

2 " " " " third prize. 

I " " " " fourth prize. 

the drawn games being entitled to half the points granted to won games. 

Lastly, an object of art was given by King Humbert, of Italy, to be fought for in 
a special battle, at which would be admitted the members of the Handicap Tour- 
nament (Torneo dei dilettanti). 

Signor Orsini could not enter the lists on account of important affairs, and Signor 
Vansittart had to withdraw after the first round. 

The prizes were awarded as follows : First Prize to Signor Fermo Zannoni ; 
Second Prize to Signor Giacomo Zon ; Third Prize to Signor Carlo Salvioli ; and 
Fourth Prize to Signor Federico Previtali. The Vansittart prize was won by Signor 
Alessandro d'Aumiller. 

The struggle for the King's Prize, which consisted of two coach lanterns, with a 
horsehead bearing a clock, a barometer, a thermometer and a sea compass, all 
made of silver and nickel, lasted five days, and terminated in a victory for Signor 
Gustavo Maluta, of Padua. 

We are in possession of the Tournament games so far published, some o* 
which will be found in this number of the Chronicle.

OBITUARY. 

It is with a sense of profound sorrow that we are called upon to chronicle the 
death of Mons. Alphonse Delannoy, at Engheim, Belgium, on the 19th of July last. 
Born in the early part of the century, Mons. Delannoy has been a prominent figure 
in the Chess world during the past fifty or sixty years, and with an energy that age 
could not wither he adhered to his chosen pastime to the end. An entertaining 
and versatile writer he was a frequent and welcome contributor to the Chess ma- 
gazines of France, England and America, and he won several prizes in literary 
tourneys. Failing memory during the closing years of his life sometimes led him 
astray in his anecdotical reminiscences of incidents wherein he had himself played 
a personal part, and gave rise to various curious and bitter discussions among some 
of the Chess editors, but his high and well-known integrity of purpose must relieve 
him from the charge of having entertained any designs to pervert the Chess his- 
tory of the past. As a player he ranked at one time among the leading frequent- 
ers of the famous Caf£ de la R£gence, but with undiminished ardor for the game 
he was compelled some years ago to relinquish its practice in order to devote his 
whole energies with the pen to the support of a life that carried the burden of 
nearly eighty years, and has at last ebbed quietly away. 



TO CORRESPONDENTS. 

To the Editors of the London Chess Monthly. — We feel obliged for your 
rectification of the position given on the diagram, p. 202 of the Chronicle. It is 
fair, however, at the same time to exculpate both Mr. Holmes and our correspond- 
ent, who saw, as ourselves did, the game in question incorrectly published in more 
than one American paper. 

Sign. Carlo Salvioli, Segretario, Quarto Torneo Scacchistico, Ventzia. — 
Vi siamo infinitamente obbligati del invio dei quattro dispense pubblicate, e vi 
preghiamo di farci lo stesso onore colla continuazione di vostro prezioso Libro. 
Per corrispondere alia vostra bonti, vi spediremo tutti i fascicoli della Chronicle, 
Vol. II., in corso di pubblicazione ; e si pub esservi grata la collezione deU'anno 
primo, avremmo il piacere di vi fame Pinvio. 

Mr. James Mason, London. — Allowing the statements in your letter to the Chess 
Editor of the Detroit Free Press, dated London, October 6, 1883, to be correct, 
we beg to refer you to the game in question between Mr. Blackburne and yourself, 
as published in the Chronicle, Vol. I., pages 94-95, where you will see that we 
copied it from the Leipstg Schachzeitung ; that we did not analyze the game, and that 
our only remark, on the end of it, was consequent upon the position resulting from 
the moves reported.

NOTHS. 

(a) MacDonell's attack, which has proved inferior to 
the others, not for being materially damaging to White's 
game, but because it allows Black to choose easily a 
plan ot defence; an object which is not often attainable 
by him who adopts the Sicilian Defence. 

(b) The right move. There is no better square for 
this B. 

(c) Better would be P to Q 4. 

(d) The object of this attack cannot be easily under- ' 
stood. 

(e) Losing a pawn. He should play Kt to Q B 4.

NOTES. 



(a) Attack of Englisch, generally admitted as the 
best move in the French Defence. 

(b) Stronger would be here B x Kt, bearing in mind 
that in a close game the Kt acts more freely than the 
B ; and the Black B at K B 3 is in a blocked position. 

(c) At this point Black had two good moves at his 
command ; first, Castling, then to play P to KBj; 
second, and great deal better, P to Kt 4, followed by 
R to Q Kt. The capture of the Pawn by Black, and 
the following exchange of Queens paralyze his game 
entirely. 

(d) This Kt's attack seems to be useless. We would 
have preferred playing at once B to K a followed by 
Castling or moving the K. 

(e) we would prefer Castling. 

(f) At this point Black proposed a draw, which was 
readily accepted by White. We do not wonder that 
White did so ; but it seems to us that 23. . Kt to Q Kt 7 
would secure to Black a much superior and, perhaps, 
a winning game. Let the studious try and decide.

NOTES. 



(a) A whimsical imitation of the Stonewall opening 
used by Mr. Ware. The central pawns remain weak, 
allowing an easy way to the adversary's pieces. 

(b) Perhaps the worst of all possible replies. We 



think that the best move would be P to Q B 3. 
ic) There is nothing better. If 6..B to K

(d) From this point onward White attacks with the 
greatest energy and brilliancy. 

(e) Black might play here 20..P to Q B 4; but 
White wins all the same in a few moves by plavine 
P to Q 6. or Kt x P.

NOTES. 

(a) Not good. The usual move is P to Q 4. 

(b) Time lost. White seems to forget the old rule 
" of bringing into play the greater number of men io 
the less number of moves." 

(c) Not sound. 

(d) Weak. Q R to K seems better. 

(e) R to K 7 would have given White some advan- 
tage. 

(f) What is this sacrifice good for ?

NOTES. 

(a) This is not a good defence ; it blocks Black's 
game. It is much better to bring out the Q Kt. 

(b) To prevent Black's castling. This move, how 
ever, allows him to assume the attack, and it wou Id 
probably be better to play P to O, B 4 followed by P 
to Kt 3, placing his two Bishops in a nice attacking po- 
sition. 

(c) Black's best move at this moment. He sacrifices 
another P in order to obtain an attack on White's Q. 



(d) In Black's present condition, B x P would be cer- 
tainly weaker. 

(e) To get rid of all dangers, White might take the 
pawn with his Q. 

(f) Is this sacrifice sound ? It seems to be the only 
resource of Black at this juncture. 

(g) P to K B 3 might be preferable here. At all events 
Black would maintain a good attack by playing, 24 . . R 
to R 5. And we think that the best continuation would 
be:25..Px P,PtoB5;a6..Qto B 3 <if White would re- 
return the piece with 26. . Bto B 5, it would follow, 26 
P x Q. 97. B x Q ch., K x B, and Black must lose by 
force another piece) Q x P; 27 . . B to B 5 ch. K to Kt, with 
an irresistible attacking position. 

(h) We do not see anything better for White. 

(i) The attempt of shutting up the black Kt is vain ; 
thus it would be better to play Kt to B 3. 

(j) A weak move which enaangers at once the game: 
B to K4 might still maintain White's same well enough. 

(k) This move is also weak. By playing 44 ..Kt 
to O 5 ch • 4«. .K to Kt 4, Kt to B 4 ; 46. .Kt checks, K 
to R a ; Black would be at once in a winning position. 

(1) It was preferable to play K to'Q 5 !

Kt to B 3, with a very strong game. 

(c) Much better than taking the B. 

(d) Up to this move Black's K's have been well ma- 
noeuvred. The text move is not as good as B to B. 

(e) A miscalculation ; P x Kt would have won, we 
think, while the text move costs the game. 

(f) One of the French Master's fine strokes. 

(g) Not good. O, to Kt 2 seems to be the best move,

MONTHLY BUDGET. 

— It is officially announced, and we have received circulars to that effect, that the 
sixth annual meeting of the Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania Chess 
Association will be held at Elmira, N. Y., on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and 
Saturday, December 26, 27, 28 and 29, 1883. The officers of the Association are : 
Rev. S. R. Catthrop, President ; E. H. Underhill, Vice-President, and E. E. Burlin- 
game, Secretary and Treasurer. Capt. Mackenzie, the Champion of the United 
States, will be present during the meeting. The constitution and rules of play 
adopted by the Association, which we publish for the benefit of those interested, 
are as follows : 

Constitution and Rules of Play of the Western New York and North- 
ern Pennsylvania Chess Association, 1883. 

Constitution. 

1. This Association shall be known as the Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania Chess 
Association. 

2. The territory included in the above designation shall be all that part of the State of New York 
lying west of the Hudson River, and all that part of the State of Pennsylvania lying north of the 
Lehigh and Juniata rivers — a line to be drawn from the mouth of the Juniata to the nearest point on 
the Lehigh river. 

3. The Champion of the annual tournament of this Association shall be the President of this As- 
sociation for the year next following the adjournment of the tourney, at which he achieved the 
championship. 

4. The Vice-President shall be elected, by a majority of the contestants present, from the State 
that fails to obtain the championship, and shall hold his office an equal term with the President. 

5. The Secretary and Treasurer, united in one person, shall be elected by a majority in the same 
manner as the Vice-President, and shall hold his office an equal term with the President 

6. The annual meeting of this Association shall be held at such time as the managing committee 
shall determine ; the place of meeting shall be such as a majority of the contestants in any tourney 
shall determine by their oral or written votes. 

7. The Managing Committee shall be the Board of Officers heretofore named, and the tournament 
committee shall be the President, Vice-President and Secretary, together with such other citizens of 
the place designated for the next meeting as may be appointed to co operate with them. In event 
of failure to appoint such committee, the officers present may appoint such committee. 

Adopted November 17, 1879, at Auburn, N. Y. 

Rules of Play. 

umpires. 

1. The Tournament Commmittee shall name three umpires, who shall be so arranged as to pro- 
vide for so umpiring that no umpire shall decide any question in a game in the class to which he be- 



34 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 

longs, and, if possible, such umpires are to be non -contestants in any class. When such umpires 
are non contestants, the senior umpire in point of appointment shall have sole power in case of ap- 
peal or dispute whenever he is present. In his absence the second umpire shall so act ; in absence 
of both the first and second umpires the third umpire shall so act ; in the absence of all three um • 
pi res any contestant may be agreed upon by the players appealing, provided he be not a contestant 
in the same class with those appealing. 

RESTRICTION AS" TO UMPIRING. 

2. No umpire shall deviate from the written and printed rules, as far as the same can be made to 
apply. 

TIME LIMIT. 

3. The time limit shall be twenty moves per hour, but shall only be operative when any contest- 
ant shall give notice to his opponent before any move shall have been made in the game in question 
that he desires time to be kept. When such time limit is kept, in the usual manner, said limit shall 
be calculated by average at the close of each game, and a leeway of five minutes shall be allowed 
for possible mistakes in noting time on each game (1. 1., two and a half minutes to each player. A 
player who at the end of the game shall be found to have exceeded his time limit shall forfeit the 
game to his opponent. 

ODDS AND CLASSIFICATION. 

4. The Tournament Committee shall arrange the odds and classify the players according to the best 
judgment of the committee. Any contestant feeling aggrieved may elect to take less odds and be 
assigned to a higher class by appeal to the umpire before said contestant shall have played any match 
game ; but no player shall receive greater odds nor be placed in a lower class after having been once 
classified. 

FIRST MOVE. 

5. The first move in each first game (except in case of odds) shall be determined by lot, and such 
record shall be kept thereof by the first player in the first game as to prevent any dispute, but in all 
farther games between the same contestants the first move shall be made alternately. 

LAWS AND PENALTIES. 

6. The laws of the fifth American Chess Congress, so far as not inconsistent with the rules herein 
adopted, shall be the laws of the tournament. All penalties shall be enforced, and no player shall 
have the right to waive a forfeit due to, or evade a forfeit due by him. 

HOURS OF PLAY. 

7. Play may commence at any time after the Tournament Committee have arranged the necessary 
preliminaries. No assignment of hours of play shall be made that compels play before 10 A. M. 
Any player may demand adjournment from 12 M. until 2 P. M. ; and from 6 P. M. until 7 P. M., 
and no player shall be compelled to play later than 10 P. M. 

LIMIT OF SITTING. 

8. No player shall be compelled to play over three hours at a sitting, and at least one hour shall 
be allowed, if desired, between sittings. 

ADJOURNMENT OF GAME. 

9. Whenever, from any cause, a game is adjourned, the game shall either have been noted up to 
the point of adjournment, or a notation of the position shall be taken, and the player having the 
move shall determine on his move, put the same in writing and sealing the same up with the nota- 
tion or position in an envelope, place the same in the umpire's hands to be opened at an hour agreed 
upon between the contestants of said game. Players failing to keep appointments, so duly made, 
shall be allowed five minutes' leeway for difference in time. If both players be then absent, the 
game shall be annulled and void ; if any one player be absent, the umpire shall declare the game for- 
feited to and won by the player then present. 



Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 35 

APPOINTMENTS, ETC. 

10. Players failing to keep appointments to play, when notice of such appointments at the time 
when made, were given to the umpire or who shall fail to appear at the seasonable and repeated pub- 
lic call of the umpire, shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the contest, and no games played by 
such delinquents shall count. Each contestant must play the full number of games assigned to him. 
In case of his failure so to do, all his games shall be stricken from the count. In case of delin- 
quency, as aforesaid, the delinquent pleading an excuse, the umpire shall be the sole judge of the 
reasonableness of said excuse, anci his decision shall be final and without appeal. 

OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE. 

11. All advice, hints, secret help or interference shall cause the expulsion of such offender at the 
demand of any player aggrieved, and such offender shall be denied the privileges of the room during 
the tournament, at the option of the umpire. 

CLOSING OF ENTRIES. 

12. All entries shall be closed at 12 noon of the first day of the meeting. No entry shall be com- 
plete without payment of entrance fee in advance of such hour of closing. 

ENTRANCE FEE. 9 

13. The entrance fee shall be $io, $7 of which shall be returned when the player finishes all his 
games ; otherwise the whole amount shall be forfeited. 

NUMBER OF GAMES, ETC. 

14. The Tournament Committee shall be the judge of the number of games to be played between 
members of classes, and between winners in various classes ; and also of the odds in all cases, but 
members of the same class shall play on equal terms. 

UMPIRE MUST BE PRESENT. 

15. No game shall count in any tourney unless an umpire be present. 

RECORDING OF GAMES. 

16. The umpire on duty, or a proxy designated by him, the umpire being present and observing 
the same, shall only be authorized to enter any game on the official score sheet. No contestant 
shall, even as proxy, record his own game. 

DRAWN GAMES. 

17. Drawn games shall (unless allowed as odds) count one-half a game for each contestant. 

NO PRIZES. 

18. No prizes shall be given by the Association in any tournament. The winner of the contest 
between classes shall be the champion of the annual tournament. 

PROMOTION OF PLAYERS. 

19. The winner in any class shall play in the next higher class at the next succeeding tourney of 
this Association.

FOREIGN NOTES. 

— The encounter between the Athenaeneum and South-Norwood Chess Clubs re-

— It is reported that the Sussex Chess Association has challenged the Surrey

— At the final meeting of the Managing Committee of the late London Inter- 
national Chess Tournament, the Earl of Dartrey proposed that a piece of plate 
valued at ^25 should be presented to Mr. Hoffer for his services as Foreign Sec- 
retary, which was carried unanimously. Another proposition, seconded by the 
Chair, to present Mr. Minchin a plate valued at ^50, was carried with acclama- 
tion. The following rules for play by time-limit were accepted, and ordered to 
be printed in the Book of the Tournament Games : 

RULES FOR PLAY BY TIME-LIMIT. 

i. If a player notices before his fourth move that either the board or pieces 
have been misplaced, he has the right to demand that the game shall be re- 
commenced. 

2. Before the beginning of the first game, the first move and choice of color are 
determined by lot. The first, move changes alternately in match play. 



38 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle* 

3. If a player desires to adjust the position of a piece or pawn on the board, he 
must say "J'adoube" before touching it ; (otherwise) 

4. If a player touches a piece or pawn of his own, he must move it ; if he 
touches one of his adversary's he must take it, if it can be taken. If he touches 
a plurality of pieces or pawns of the same color, in either of these instances his 
adversary may elect which such piece or pawn he may call on him to play or take, 
as the case may be. If the rules governing the moves of pieces do not admit of 
the adversary exacting penalty as above, the player must move his King, but may 
not castle. If the King cannot be moved without exposure to check, no penalty 
can then be exacted. 

N. B. — The adversary must claim a penalty under this rule before he makes his 
own next move ; and while he is considering the penalty, his own time must run 
and not that of his adversary, 

5. A move is not completed until the player's hand has quitted the piece or 
pawn played. 

6. *' Check" is announced to the King only; it is not absolutely necessary to 
call it. If a player on attacking his adversary's King omits to call " check," 
penalties under rule fourth cannot be enforced. The player whose King is 
attacked must move out of check, or cover or capture the attacking piece so soon 
as his attention is called to the fact ; and if any moves have been made by either 
party while a King has remained exposed to attack, they must be canceled. 

7. If the same position occurs thrice during a game, it being on each occasion 
the turn for the same player to move, the game is drawn. 

8. A player may, at any time, call upon his adversary to mate him within fifty 
moves (move and reply being counted as one). If, by the expiration of such fifty 
moves, no piece or pawn has been captured, nor pawn moved, nor mate given, a 
draw can then be claimed. 

9. The King cannot be Castled out of check, nor across an attacked square. 
In the act of Castling, the King must be moved first, or else must be touched be- 
fore the Rook is quitted. 

10. A Pawn reaching the eighth square must be named, as a Queen or piece, 
at the option of the player, independent of the number of pieces on the board. 
The created Queen or piece acts immediately in its new capacity. Until the Pawn 
has been so named the move is incomplete. 

11. Time runs until a move is completed, as under these rules. 

12. If, on the resumption of an adjourned game, the position is wrongly set up, 
all subsequent moves are void, and the position must, if possible, be correctly re- 
placed, and the game then played from the point of adjournment. 

13. In the event of proof of a clock or glass has recorded incorrect time, the 
umpire is empowered to make such adjustment in the record of the time as her 
shall consider equitable in view of the circumstances disclosed, provided that he 
shall make no allowance in the actual stoppage of a clock, it being the duty of a 
player to see that his adversary's clock is set going. 



Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 39 

The above rules (taken from the London Chess Monthly) we publish for the 
benefit of those readers of the Chronicle who do not receive the Chess Monthly, 
nor the Book of the Tournament. 

— A new Chess column, under the editorship of Mr. I. Gunsberg, has appeared 
in Our Corner (London), a monthly magazine of fiction, poetry, etc. 

— The veteran English Chess player, Mr. H. E. Bird, has started a Chess column 
in the Tyldesley Weekly Journal. Under his pen, the Chess world will be treated 
to a finely-edited column. We wish it long life. 

— The Cercle des Echecs de Paris will have their great annual Tournament, and 
their committees have decided to offer money prizes ; the players being divided into 
five classes. 

— The book of the London International Tournament has been published, and it 
is highly recommendable, the games having been analyzed by the eminent masters, 
Steinitz, Zukertort, Mason and Bird. 

— M. Rosenthal, in La Vie Moderne y promises to publish his appreciation of the 
great work just alluded to, which, coming from such an able authority, must be ex- 
tremely interesting to the whole Chess world. 

— At the annual meeting of the Montreal (Canada) Chess Club, held a few even- 
ings ago, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year : H. A. Howe, 
LL. D., President ; John Barry and John Stirling, Vice-Presidents ; J. G. Ascher, 
Secretary. This club, according to the Secretary's report, which was read at the 
meeting, is in a very flourishing condition. 

— The St. John, N. B., Globe has started a circulating game, its editor, Mr. C. F. 
Stubbs, making the first move, Kt to K B 3. Every move made will be reported to 
him, and will appear in the Globe. 

— The Toronto Chess Club, at their annual meeting, elected the following offi- 
cers : John L. Blaikie, President; A. C. Meyers, Vice-President; C. W. Phillips, 
Secretary and Treasurer ; J. N. Punshon, Auditor ; J. W. Gordon, W. Boultbee, 
E. B. Freeland, Managing Committee. 

— A new Chess Club is to be organized in Montreal. We shall publish the par- 
ticulars when they reach us. 

— The St. John, N. B., Tournament is progressing very rapidly, and we expect soon 
the final result. So far Mr. A. Mills leads with 32 games won and 10 lost. 



HAVANA CORRESPONDENCE. 

The oppressive heat, so unusual at this season of the year, when the cooling 
northern breezes are generally wont to pay their grateful and reviving visits to these 
sun-scorched shores, has, no doubt, deterred the devotees of Chess from indulging 
in any over-exciting contests. The consequence is, that I have been unable to unearth 
anything of interest to communicate for the entertainment of your readers. This 
state of apathy in Chess circles was remarked the other day by one of the daily 
newspapers of this city, which called the attention of the prominent players to the 



40 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 

enthusiasm among the amateurs, which, if not stimulated by the leaders, would 
naturally subside. It also asked why the proposed tournament at the Circulo 
Militar had been abandoned. I hope that something may occur soon to stir up 
this dormant Chess community, which, when fairly aroused, can perform some very 
creditable work. Since Mr. Golmayo, the renowned champion of this island, re- 
turned from his summer visit to the United States, he has abstained from playing, 
in consequence of delicate health and press of business. The other apostles of 
Caissa, Messrs. Carvajal, Medina, Riera, Hidalgo, etc., have also kept aloof from 
important battles, perhaps reserving their strength for a valiant struggle with Messrs. 
Zukertort and Steinitz, whose visits are soon expected. The coming of these daz- 
zling luminaries is looked forward to with much interest by the admirers of the 
game, who are anxious to bring about another match with Mr. Golmayo. I 
had a very pleasant interview the other day with this distinguished jurist, who in- 
formed me that some correspondence had taken place with Mr. Zukertort, with a 
view to arranging such a match, but that no definite terms had been yet agreed 
upon. It appears that Mr. Z. demands similar conditions to those on which Mr. 
Steinitz played here some months ago, but Mr. Golmayo emphatically objects to 
again granting subsidies for the privilege of playing with these gentlemen, though 
he has expressed a willingness to play with Mr. Z. for equal stakes, and, in case of 
the eminent visitor being the loser (which Mr. G. modestly grants to be highly im- 
probable), to allow him a fair amount for his traveling expenses. Mr. Golmayo 
ignores what the other players of Havana may resolve in this respect, but person- 
ally he holds to these views, in which, I think, he is perfectly justified, as his Chess 
record, which embraces brilliant and successful contests with the most renowned 
players, such as Winawer, Kolisch, de Riviere, Neuman, Martinez and others, not 
to speak of his valiant struggle with Steinitz last winter, permits him to demand 
honorable terms. I was pained to find this gentleman in poor health, but it is to 
be hoped that, by the time Zukertort and Steinitz arrive, he will be in goo4 form 
for the encounter. He entertained me with pleasant reminiscences of his Chess 
career in Europe, when he successfully vied in strength with the leading players, 
including the then rising Steinitz, now such a brilliant star of the Chess fir- 
mament. 

There are three elegant Chess circles in this metropolis of the Antilles, the Union 
Cluby Circulo Militar, and Casino EspatwL In the first named was played the 
Steinitz-Golmayo match. The next contest, it is presumed, will be in the beauti- 
ful rooms of the Circulo Militar. The game is also played in all the clubs, and in

Francisco del Hoyo, where frequently meet Messrs. Falangon, Del Monte and 
others, who are familiarly termed le petit club. 

I will continue to inform you of events in this city, and before concluding now 
I will copy the following interesting notice, taken from the El Triunfo newspaper 
of yesterday: " Our friend, Mr. Emilio Hidalgo, has received a letter from Steinitz, 
now in New York, announcing his intention of paying Havana another visit. He 
says that the great Chessist, Zukertort, also contemplates coming to Cuba, and that

it would be a glorious event if the Habaneros could coutrive to bring about a 
match between him (Steinitz) and Zukertort, inasmuch as the latter has already 
twice declined to play, first in London and then in New York. We think that it 
would be well for us to collect about a thousand dollars, and offer the amount as 
a prize to the winner of a match, to be played either at the Union Club or Circulo 
Military Your old friend, the 1

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 

J. B. M., Habana. — Si ves a Golmayo saludalo. Peon nos ha enviado un mag- 
nifico articulo que publicamos en este ntimero. 

H. S. Horton, New York. — Your problems are received, and shall have our 
attention as soon as possible. 

C. D. P. Hamilton, Reading, Pa. — Your problems shall be duly examined. We 
publish problems of any number of moves. In moving pawn to its eighth square, 
the piece wanted should be named. 

Habana. — iClil gracias por el articulo ; estd muy bueno y serd leido con 
gusto. Te enviamos los ejemplares que pides. 

Dr. Wunderlich, Brooklyn. — In commenting upon Italian games, the special 
Chess rules of the Italians are to be borne in mind. According to these, pawns 
cannot be taken en passant. They have, besides, two more special rules, viz.: the 
free castling ', by which the R may go as far as the K sq., and the K occupy any 
square inside ; and the restricted exchange for a P reaching its eighth square, it 
not being allowed to call but for a piece which has been lost.

(c) Playing, we suppose, under the idea that White 
will capture the Rook, whereupon Black would get a 
won game with Q x Kt. 

(d) Doubling the Rooks would just afford to the op- 
ponent a fine opportunity for a perplexing attack with 
one of his ingenious sacrifices t.g. :

P to K Kt 4, but White never gives him time for these 
little manoeuvres. 

(c) A capital move.

NOTKS 

(a) The opening is played Very carefully on both 

S13CS* 

(b) The slight superiority in position which White 
now has is gradually improved until at last the adver- 
sary is compelled to lower his flag. 

(c) Black can do nothing but passively await the 
massing of the White forces against the stronghold 

(d) The arrival of this Kt upon the scene of action 
is decisive. 

(e) It is obvious enough why neither Queen nor 
Pawn can capture Rook. 

(f) Having in view Q x R P ch, etc.

NOTES

(b) Like many players who receive the odds of a 
piece, Black is far too anxious to exchange pieces ; in 
the present instance his anxiety to do so leads to his 
immediate destruction 

(c)Perfectly sound as well as brilliant,

NOTES. 

(a) Kt to Q B 3 is, we believe, more commonly play- 
ed. The text move, although it has the sanction of 
Dr. Zukertort, appears to us somewhat risky. 

(b) White, if he chooses, can draw the game by per- 
petual check by 7. .Q to K 6 ch, etc. 

(c) The capture of this pawn involves Black in diffi- 
culties at once ; we should have preferred Q R to O. 

(d) Another and a fatal error, which affords White 
the opportunity of finishing the game in brilliant style. 

(d) A singularly pretty termination ; if K to K 4, 
White takes Q with Q, mating next move, should Black 
retake the Queen.

NOTBS. 

(a) B to Q 3, the move adopted by Knglisch against 
Steinitz in the London Tournament, is decidedly supe- 
rior to the text move. 

(b) Though a Pawn minus, White has by much the 
superior position. 

(c) B takes R is more immediately decisive. 

(d) The commencement of an exceedingly pretty 
combination, which, unfortunately, however, does not 
meet with the success it deserves. 

(e) For the benefit of our younger readers we may 
mention that if White Kt captures Queen, Black replies 
with Kt to B c check, regaining the Queen, and also 
forking both the white Rooks.

NOTBS. 



(a) A common error with inexperienced players. Kt 
to Q R 4 is the proper continuation. 

(b) So far the game calls for no particular comment, 
but the position now arrived at is a peculiar one, there 
being a forced mate in eight mores. 

(c) The Bishop comes here so as to make room for 
the Q at K 8, after the sacrifice of the Rook.

NOTBS. 



(a) P to K R 3 is, of course, the correct more, but an 
amateur receiving the odds of a Rook may be excused 
for not having the " book" moves at his fingers' ends. 

(b) A fair risk, considering the odds given. 

(cjA slip, of course ; but it is curious, notwithstand- 
ing Black's being a Queen and two Bishops ahead, he 
cannot save the game. Queen takes Rook is his best 
move, whereupon White retakes Queening, and will 
win another piece. 



Game No. 132. 

One of twelve simultaneous blindfold games played by Dr. Zukertort on No-

NOTBS. 

(a) P to Q B 3 is better * but the Doctor does not 
take proper advantage of the Professor's move. 

(b) Q K 2 has a much more cramping influence on 
Black's game. 

(c) All this is excellently played by Prof. Rice. 
White, it will be noticed, cannot castle on either side 
without losing at least a piece. 

(d) The position is extremely complicated and diffi- 
cult for White, and considering the circumstances 
under which the game was played, Doctor Zukertort's 
defence is wonderful. 

{e) Professor Rice deserves great credit for the very 
skillful manner in which he conducts the whole of this 
interesting par tie.

NOTES. 

(a) A poor move. In close openings of this nature, 
the Q Kt should rarely be played to B 3 until the Q B 
P has been advanced. 

(b) This permits White to advance Kt to K 5, and 
then P to KB 4, which might have been prevented by 
Black's moving Kt to Q 2 

(c) Black succeeds in breaking up the adverse centre 
by this move, but for all that it does not turn out well. 

(d) A good move, bringing White's forces on the 
Queen's side rapidly into the field. 

(t) An unpleasant necessity, but Black cannot afford 
to allow Kt to B 6 ch. 

(f) If Kt to O 5, White, we believe, might have taken 
the Rook with advantage, ex gr.;

Vol. II. BROOKLYN, N. Y., JANUARY 15, 1884. No. 4. 

MONTHLY BUDGET. 

— Dr. Zukertort paid a visit to Baltimore, as the guest of the Baltimore Chess 
Association. There he played a series of games with the Maryland champion, Mr. 
Alex. Sellman. Out of 3 games played Mr. Zukertort won 2 and Mr. Sellman 1. 
He also gave an exhibition of simultaneous play, meeting 31 members of the asso- 
ciation, and winning all but one of the 31 games; also a blindfold exhibition, play- 
ing against ten of the members of said association, winning eight games and draw- 
ing two. 

The Doctor left for Washington on the 19th of December, and after visiting 
several of the Western cities and Canada he will go to Cuba, and then to San Fran- 
cisco and China. 

— The Elizabeth (N. J.) Chess Club has abolished all fees and dues, and members 
will hereafter be admitted by invitation and by the approval of the Board of Mana- 
gers. 

— It is rumored that the Philadelphia Chess Club is preparing for a tournament 
to begin in January. The prizes, it is said, will amount to sixty dollars.. 

— The Baltimore News Solvers' Tourney has ended. The following are the win- 
ners of prizes: first, Mr. A. F. McKenzie, of Kingston, Jamaica; second, Mr. F. B. 
Phelps, of Sandwich, Illinois; third, Messrs. H. E. & J. Bettman, of Cincinnati; 
fourth, Mr. C. D. Morris, and fifth, Mr. W. H. Luster, of Elizabeth, N. J. 

— St. Paul, Minnesota, has started a Chess and Checkers Club. We are glad to 
see that the card element is left out. We wish the new organization much suc- 
cess. 

— Mr. Max Judd, by defeating Mr. W. Haller in a match is now the holder of 
the challenge cup of the St. Louis Chess Club. 

— The Third Annual Handicap Tournament of the St. Louis Chess Club is pro- 
gressing finely. There are 3 prizes of $30, $15, and $5, respectively. 

— The Tournament of the Pittsburgh Chess Club was started with 14 entries. 

The prizes are : the Club's silver cup, a fine set of chessmen and a Chess book. 

• 

— We take the following from the New Orleans Times-Democrat : "The officers 
and governing committee of the New Orleans Chess, Checkers and Whist Club have 
certainly had a heavy burden of work and responsibility upon their shoulders dur- 
ing the past three weeks, but it must be no small consolation and gratification to 



/

them to note the admirable results of their labors, just now beginning to be fully 
apparent. The new Chess rooms are beautiful in selection, furniture, carpeting, 
adornment, in every point. The rush of applicants for membership has been lit- 
erally wonderful since the removal of the Club, and we would not be surprised if 
150 or even more names were enrolled during the current month. Already there is 
much talk of limiting the membership to 800 and raising the initiation fee to $25. 
We are pleased to see the rapid and wonderful growth of this Club, and sincerely 
wish it all prosperity in its new quarters. 

— The Pittsburgh Telegraph, with the first issue of January, started a new Solv- 
ers' Tourney. The problems will be mostly in two or three moves, although a few 
in four may be published. Two weeks after receiving the column will be allowed 
for solving. The prizes consist of valuable Chess publications, and are three in all. 

— The Tournament of the Manhattan Chess Club progresses very finely. Up to 
the time of going to press the score stood as follows: -

By the above it will be seen that the leaders are: Messrs. Mackenzie, Delmar, 
D. G. Baird and Lipschutz. 

— On the 25th of December the Louisville Chess Club gave an entertainment in 
honor of Dr. Zukertort, on which occasion the Doctor played 28 simultaneous games 
against as many members of the Club, winning 26 and losing 2 to Messrs. C. Stege 
and Isaac H. Trabue. 

Before reaching Louisville Dr. Zukertort stopped a few hours in Cincinnati, 
and dropped unannounced at the rooms of the Cincinnati Chess Club. He was 
of course invited to play and contested four simultaneous games, winning three and 
drawing one with Mr. Freichler. 

He also played twelve simultaneous blindfold games against Messrs. Lowen- 
hart, Lyons, Wilcox, Green, Watts, Omberg, Broadus, Dembitz, Hogue, Woodruff, 
Clark, and Blancagniel, winning 8 and losing two to Messrs. Omberg and Woodruff, 
and drawing two with Messrs. Broadus and Dembitz. From Louisville the Doctor will 
go to St Louis and then to Chicago. 

— The Louisville Chess Club, just organized, has already over 30 members. The 
officers are O. B. Theiss, President; John Colgan, Treasurer, and W. H. Lyons, 
Secretary.

— The Annual Tournament of the Western New York and Northern Pennsyl- 
vania Chess Association was a great success. We clip the following from the 
Elmira Telegram: 

"The sixth annual meeting of the Western New York and Northern Pennsyl- 
vania Chess Association, held in Elmira December 26, 27, 28 and 29, 1883, was a 
grand success in every way. The following is the score in the tournament : 

" First Class. — Calthrop won 4 games and lost 2 ; Sittser won 1 and lost 5 ; 
Scripture won 4 and lost 2 ; Burlingame won 3 and lost 3. 

44 Second Class, A.— Dexter won ii and lost i\ ; Underhill won 2 and lost 2 ; 
Ficht won 2 \ and lost i£. 

44 Second Class, B. — Luce won 4 and lost 2 ; Kent won 4 and lost 2 ; Stout, 
won o and lost 6 ; Alpha won 4 and lost 2. 

44 Third Class. — Rice won 2 and lost 2 ; Dormaul won 1 and lost 3 ; Curtis 
won 3 and lost 1. 

44 The ties in section B of the second class were played off, Luce being the 
winner. Luce then played Ficht, champion of section A, second class ; Luce 
won, this making him champion of the second class. Luce then played Curtis, 
champion of the third class, winning easily. Scripture and Calthrop played off 
their tie. The game was won by Scripture after a struggle of several hours. The 
next thing in order was a game between Scripture, champion of the first class, and 
Luce, champion of the second class, the winner to be the champion and president 
of the association. Scripture resigned to Luce, giving as his reason that inasmuch 
as the next meeting is to be held in Elmira, it was more fitting that the president 
should be a resident of that city. Mr. Luce is, therefore, the president and cham- 
pion. John A. Sittser, of Tunkhannock, Pa., was elected as vice-president. Judge 
Seymour Dexter and Frank Rice were chosen to act in connection with the officers 



52 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle, 

as tournament committee. Resolutions of condolence were passed on the death 
of those two prominent members, Robert A. Packer and James A. Murray. The 
meeting then adjourned." 

From the Elmira correspondence to the Cincinnati Commercial we take the 
following : 

" The great attractions of the meeting were Mackenzie and Stemitz, who were 
present during the entire four days. Wednesday evening Steinitz played two con- 
sultation games, winning both. His opponents were four in number, two being at 
each board — Messrs. Scripture and Sittser at one, and Calthrop and Delta at the . 
other. Thursday Mackenzie and Steinitz played practice games against various 
persons, winning with ease in each instance. Thursday evening Steinitz gave a 
simultaneous exhibition. From lack of boards and men only thirteen players ob- 
tained a seat in the circle. These were as follows : Underhill, Sittser, Delta* 
Alpha, Stout, Kent, Luce, Calthrop, Scripture, Ficht, all contestants in the tour- 
nament, and E. O. Odson, Cayuga, N. Y. ; Mrs. Collingwood and J. W. Brown, 
Elmira. At midnight all were disposed of but Calthrop. That game was 
adjourned until the next day. 

" Friday was an active day. Many visitors came in and witnessed the contests. 
Steinitz and Mackenzie played all comers, showing no mercy to any. Friday 
night Mackenzie gave a simultaneous exhibition. Sixteen players found a place 
in the circle. Sittser was the only player to win his game, all the others being 
defeated easily. In nearly every game the Captain played a bold, dashing open- 
ing, and soon had his opponents completely at his mercy. 

*' So well pleased were those in attendance with Elmira's hospitality, that it was 
unanimously decided to hold the next meeting here. 

" Saturday afternoon Steinitz played four blindfold games simultaneously. His 
opponents were D. C. Curtis, Robert A. Scott, J. W. Brown and W. H. Flint. 
Brown was the first to surrender. Curtis held out half an hour longer and then 
resigned. After about four hours' play the champion administered a pretty mate 
to Flint, and in a few moments after Scott resigned. Mackenzie and Stenitz were 
well pleased with their treatment here, and expressed themselves as being in hopes 
of again visiting Elmira. They left for New York on the nine o'clock train. 
The majority of the players left in the afternoon, and no evening session was 
held." 

— The Danites Chess Club of Brooklyn held its last weekly meeting on Dec. 27. 
Mr. Reynolds resigned recently after five years of efficient service in the office 
and Mr. Manvel was unanimously elected secretary. The club tourney record 
shows the players occupying the following relative positions in the race for the 
several prizes :

— We take the following from the New Orleans Times- Democrat : "The fourth 
annual meeting of the New Orleans Chess, Checkers and Whist Club was held on 
the 3d of January, and was very well attended. The various reports of the Govern- 
ing Committee, the Secretary and Treasurer were read amid great applause, and 
certainly shows the club to be in a most healthy condition. Its financial standing is 
very good, the cash on hand being $2,745.23, and the surplus at date, $2,986.18. 
Although the report of the Secretary did not deal especially with every question, it 
is gratifying to be able to state that if the revenues of the club continue as they 
have been during the past month, a clear surplus of four to five thousand dollars 
at the end of the current year, over and above the extensive improvements still 
contemplated, would not be surprising. 

The vote for officers for the current year resulted in the re-election by accla- 
mation of Hon. Chas. F. Buck, as President, and Hon. Chas. G. Ogden, as First 
Vice-President. Dr. S. M. Bemiss was similarly elected Second Vice-President. 
The other officers elected were: Treasurer, A. T. Mather (by acclamation) ; 
Governing Committee, H. L. Dufour, F. H. Frost, I. K. Small, Winchester Bowl- 
ing, Chas. Janvier. Of these, the first four were re-elections. Two of the previous 
Governing Committee, Messrs. B. C. Elliott and J. D. S6guin, for business reasons, 
declined to run again. A committee of five were designated to revise the consti- 
tution and report to the club at its next meeting. The roll of the club at date is 

over 800.

— The Milwaukee Telegraph publishes the following item : " The first sitting of 
the match between the two local Chess clubs was held on Saturday evening last. 
The Philidors were crippled by the failure of two of their strongest men to make 
their appearance, an embarrasing circumstance which more than counterbalanced 
any lack of practice on the part of their rivals. Nevertheless, the Milwaukeeans 
are to be congratulated upon their success in securing a decided lead over their 
opponents." 

FOREIGN NOTES. 

— The January number of the British Chess Magazine is at hand, and as usual 
replete with matter of great interest. This number brings the photographs of the 
editor-in-chief and staff of co-operators. Those that may desire larger copies of 
any or all of these photographs, can have them at a very moderate price by 
addressing the editor. 

We learn from this magazine that the number of entries to the St. George's Chess 
Club Handicap Tournament has been raised to 20 by the addition of Messrs. 
Gover and W. Jowitt. Each player has to play, as a minimum, 2 games a week ; 
and the handicap may thus last till the end of March or even till Easter. Some 
scores are already well advanced. 



54 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 

— The number of parties willing to become members of the Scottish Chess 
Association augurs well for the success of the institution, 138 having, up to the 
middle of December, been enrolled. 

— The lists for the tournament of the Cercle des Echecs of Paris closed on the 
X2th of December last, and the classification of the players was made on the 14th. 
The tournament commenced on the 16th. The players will play two games with 
each other in their class. The victors of each class will then play with each other, 
giving the same odds as in the tournament of last April, that is, each class will give 
to the next, pawn and two moves ; to the next, knight ; to the next, rook ; next, 
rook, pawn and move and last rook and knight. 

The first prize will be 300 francs ; the second, 200 francs ; the third, 100 
francs. 

Drawn games will be counted as half game for each. Entrance fee, ten francs. 

— Among the entries for the Challenge Cup of the Surrey Chess Association we 
notice the names of Clarke, Beyfus, Burroughs, Bailey, Childs and Collins ; these 
gentlemen are members of the South Norwood Club. The Croydon, South Nor- 
wood and Endeavor Clubs have entered for the Club Trophy. Great efforts have 
been made to insure the success of these contests. 

— Schallop, Sprecht and Blumenthal are the leaders in the Berlin tournament. 

— The annual meeting of the Edinburgh Chess Club was held a few days ago. 
Arrangements are in progress for a handicap tournament of members only, to take 
place during the winter. The vacancies in the council having been filled up, the 
following are the office-bearers for 1883-84 : President, Lord Provost Harrison ; 
vice-presidents, Messrs. George Gibson and David M. Latta ; councilors, Messrs. 
Charles Matthew, C. L. Ramsden, A. McBryde Broun, W. S , and Christopher 
Meikle ; treasurer, Mr. James Pringle, C. A. ; and secretary, Rev. George 
McArthur, with the Medallist, Mr. John Fraser. 

— The entries for the Sussex Challenge Cup have been closed ; among the 
names entered are Messrs. H. W. Butler, Walter Mead, W. T. Pierce and Arthur 
Smith, of Brighton ; G. R. Downer and W. MacAlister, from Chichester ; Rev. 
E. A. Adams, Herrmann Eschwege and H. Smith, from Eastbourne ; and Messrs. 
H. F. Cheshire and F. W. Womersley, from Hastings. With this array of good 
names the contest promises to be very interesting. 

— The City Chess Club of Montreal, Canada, numbers already twenty members. 
This new organization promises to be a great success, and it has our very best 
wishes.

— We learn from the Southern Weekly News that the match between the Sussex 
and Surrey Clubs has been definitely arranged to take place at Croydon, on Satur* 
day, January 19th. The time of play will be probably 3.30, and it is expected 
there will be twenty-five players on each side. We await with interest the result 
of this contest, which promises to be very interesting, there being strong players 
on both sides. 

— The young Mr. D. Y. Mills has again been very successful in his exhibition of 
simultaneous play without sight of the boards. A few evenings ago, at Bristol, he 
encountered six opponeats from various Yorkshire clubs, winning four and losing 
two games. Afterwards he was presented with a handsome time-piece subscribed 
for by Bradford Chess players. % 

— We are sorry to chronicle the suspension, after thirteen years of existence, of 
the Canada Illustrated News y of Montreal, Canada. The reason stated forits sus- 
pension is that it never paid expenses. The Chess fraternity will, therefore, lament 
the loss of a good Chess column. 

— The following is the list of players in the St. John Chess Tournament, with 
the number of games won and lost by each player up to latest accounts :

announcing (with the commencement of the New Year) our first Problem Tourney, 
open to the world. Any composer may enter as many problems as he chooses, of 
his own composition, and hitherto unpublished. Each problem must have a 
separate motto and be a direct mate in either two or three moves, with solution in 
full on back of diagram, and the name and address of the author, and a duplicate 
of each diagram must also be sent without the name and address (for the use of 
the judges). Problems to be addressed : Chess Editor Globe, St. John, N. B., and 
to be mailed on or before March 31, 1884. 

"The following prizes will be awarded: best three move, $10 ; second best

Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 



— Challenge Problem Tourney.— The British Chess Magazine announces that 
they propose issuing full details of this tourney in their next number, and give now 
the chief points which will figure in the programme, viz. : 

i st. A Problem and Solution Tourney will run side by side. 

2d. Problems to be not less than four, and not to exceed ten moves in length. 
Either ordinary or sui-mates to be available. 

3d. Competing positions must reach the Problem Editor not later than June 30, 
1884. Publications will, however, commence as soon as a number of problems are 
received sufficient to ensure the carrying out of the scheme. 

4th. Each competitor may contribute one or two problems at his option. 

5th. Prizes, in money and Chess books, will be awarded in both competitions. 

6th. Solvers will be invited to forward reviews with their solutions, and the 
final award will, to a considerable extent, be based upon the results of their exertions 
as a test of difficulty. 

7th. Solutions will not be published monthly, but at such intervals as will afford 
competitors ample time to test the various positions. 

— The "Taglichen Rundschau " has opened an International Tourney for unpub- 
lished original 3 move Problems, offering three prizes of 50, 30 and 20 marks respec- 
tively. The problems may be sent, up to the 15th February next, to W. Valentin, 
Berlin, Neu Colin, a. W. No. 1, accompanied by diagrams and solutions, and a 
sealed envelope bearing the same motto prefixed to the problem, and containing 
the name and address of the author. No more than one problem shall be admitted 
in the tourney from each participant. The problems sent in will become the 
property of the " Taglichen Rundschau," and should not be published anywhere 
without a special permission of its editors. 

— It is announced that Messrs. Veit and Komp, of Leipzig, will publish shortly 
the book of the Nurenberg Chess Congress, in two parts independent of each 
other ; the first part containing the games, and the second the problems. 

/ — The Hampshire Magazine, a. monthly repository of general literature, will be 
/ published this month, and will contain a Chess column, edited, it is said, by a 
(^ gentleman who will make it very interesting. We salute our new confrere.

NOTES. 

(a) The opening developments are now over, and 
both parties commence manoeuvring for position. 

(b) An advance which leads to a break-up in the 
centre, with results slightly favorable to Black. 

(c) An excellent stroke, and the beginning of an at- 
tack carried on in most vigorous style by Mr. Sellman. 

(d) Of course, not Q z B, which would lose the Queen. 

(e) With this move the gain of a piece is assured, 
and winning becomes a mere question of time.

(a) At this point Winawer played Q to K 2 in one 
of his games against Zukertort in the London Tour- 
nament, and on the latter moving B to K B 4 as in the 
text, continued with 8 P to K Kt 4. The game was 
finally won by Zukertort. 

(b) A slip which costs a pawn. 

(c) He had to provide for the safety of the Rook 
which Black threatened to win by Q to Q 2. 

(d) White can do nothing to prevent the fatal ad- 
vance of these pawns, ana might just as well have 
resigned.

NOTES. 



(a) The sacrifice of the Q P is not judicious ; in fact 
the opening is managed by Mr. Lipschutz more after 
the fashion of the pawn and two moves than of the 
pawn and one move. 

(b) White, we believe, might now have taken the Q 
P with Q Kt, though possibly he may have dreaded 
the reply of R to K K. 

(c) The winning com/. 

(d) To this formidable check there is no satisfactory 
reply.

NOTES. 

(a) An unusual method of opening the game, but 
probably Adapted for the purpose of throwing each 
player on his own resources. 

(b) With the intention of advancing P to K 5 which 
he could not do as long as the Bishop stood at K 3. 

(c) White has now a decisive superiority in position. 

(d) An ingenious attempt to break the attack, for if 
P x Kt, Black retakes with Kt P, discovering check, 
and his King is comparatively safe. 

(e) Leading to a pretty finish. The way in which 
the Black pieces are massed on the Queen's side is 
somewhat curious.

NOTES. 

(a) We do not approve of this capture, for the Black 
K B P becomes later on a very important factor in Mr. 
Delmar' s attack. 

(b) If Q x K B P, the reply of Kt to K R 5 would 
prove very unpleasant to the white King. 

(c) Now, however, was the proper moment for the 
capture of the Pawn ; the move made simply allows 
Black to mature his attack. 

(d) The brilliant and dashing qualities of Mr. Del- 
mar s style of play are well exemplified in the latter 
half of this game.

NOTES. 



(a) P x P is preferable. 

(b) And here White ought to have taken P with P 
instead of losing time and position by the move of the 
Bishop. 

(c) There is a want of purpose in many of Mr. Del- 
mar s mores in the present game that is not ordinarily 
to be met with in his play. 

(d) Mr. Baird has taken full advantage of the chances 
given him, and finishes the game in capital style.

MONTHLY BUDGET. 

* 

Seflor Andres Clemente Vazquez, the Mexican Chess champion, made a visit of 
a few days to this country last month and encountered Messrs. Ryan, Hanham and 
Delmar, of the Manhattan Chess Club. Mr. Ryan won 4 games and lost 2. Mr. 
Hanham won 5, lost 4 and drew 1. The only game played with Mr. Delmar was 
drawn. 

Mr. Vazquez is somewhat out of practice, having played ^ery little during the 
two years that he has spent in Central America. ^ 

— By a typographical error we stated in our last number that the match between 
Messrs. Sellman and Zukertort was of 3 games, the latter winning 2 and the for- 
mer 1 . We now correct the mistake, stating that only 2 games were played, and 
that the honors were easy. 

— The annual tournament of the Baltimore Chess Association commenced on 
Monday, the nth inst. The committee offer eight valuable prizes for competition. 
There is no entrance fee, and all games are played under time limit. 

— Mr. Steinitz is in New York, resting from the great activity that he has had in . 
Chess during the last years.- We like to hear that the great champion is resting, 
but the natural selfishness of mankind makes us all feel bad at the same time, be- 
cause we are deprived of the pleasure of enjoying his classical games. Now he is 
playing some offhand games with the strong amateur player, Mr. Merian, some of 
which, as the one we publish to-day, are quite interesting, but never equal to his 
style of match games. 

— The valuable collection of chess books, manuscripts, etc., belonging to the 
late Prof. George Allan, has been purchased by the Library Company of Philadel- 
phia, and will be assigned a place in their Ridgway Branch — said to be the finest 
library building on the continent— where lovers of the ancient and curious, as well 
as modern and useful, in chess literature will hereafter be able to gratify their 
taste to an extent which, probably, no other collection in this country can afford. 
There are some, we believe, numerically greater in volumes but none so rich in 
works that are from their rarity almost unique. I$* * » v, % 

— At the meeting of the Danites Chess Club, on the evening of the 7th inst., at 
the residence of Mr. N. G. De Groot, 150 Lafayette avenue, there was a very full at- 
tendance, and the question of holding a tourney in which all the clubs of the city 
should be represented was discussed. It seemed to be the general opinion of the 



66 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 

members that any thing of this kind which would bring together all the Chess 
players of the city would tend to increase the general interest in the game and 
strengthen each club. But without formally starting such a tourney it was decid- 
ed to arrange a consultation game with the Columbia Club, to be held next week, 
each club to be represented by three players. Then, if it was deemed desirable, a 
similar game could be arranged with the other clubs in their turn, and the qther 
clubs could follow suit among themselves. 

At the same meeting five tourney games were played: 

Raymond won from O'Higgins. 

Whitlock " BcU. 

Rolfc «• Orr. 

Manvcl "• Whitlock. 

and a drawn game by Thayer and Reynolds. 

The record of the tourney is as follows. The leading scores are with 17 games 
each to play: 

Players. Won. Lost. 

Raymond 9 3 

Simis 9 4 

Thayer %% 2 

Reynolds 6# o 

Chadwick 7% 7

— The Manhattan Chess Club Tournament, as it is announced by the com- 
mittee, will close next Monday, the 18th inst. 

As it will be noticed by the following score, Captain Mackenzie has secured the 
first price, winning 28 games. 

Messrs. D. G. Baird and Lipschutz have won each 24, and the tie is very inter- 
esting and creates quite a sensation, although the chances of winning the second 
prize seem to be more in favor of Mr. Baird, who has yet three games to play, 
while Mr. Lipschutz has only one. 

— The score of the Manhattan Chess Club up to last accounts is: 

Players. Won. Lost. To Play. Players. Won.

— The visit of Dr. Zukertort to Chicago appears to have created a great revival 
in Chess there. The Doctor played with the most distinguished players of that 
city, winning, of course, the majority of games, but not without fighting hard bat- 
tles. He played simultaneously with thirteen strong players, /. e. : Messrs. Edward 
Monnheimer, Turner, Lundberg, Van Ewen, Wallace, Lee, Rosenfeld, Walker, 
Willenburg, Blaidsell, Salzman and Owens, winning 8, losing 4 and drawing 1. 
The Doctor gave an exhibition of playing twelve blindfold games against Dr. M. K.

FOREIGN NOTES. 

The Croydon Guardian has started an end-game Tourney, which promises to be 
very interesting, as all the positions must be from actual play, original, and never 
published. We append the 

RULES AND REGULATIONS. 

i. The end-games must be original and hitherto unpublished, but may be such 
as have occurred in play. 

2. Impossible positions are inadmissible, and unnatural ones will, ipso facto, lose 
marks unless they possess some striking features of merit. Simple position will be 
preferred to complex ones with a large number of pieces and pawns, which partake 
more of the nature of a middle than an end-game. 

3. Marks will be given for (a) profundity* of conception; (b) brilliancy of exe- 
cution; (c) neatness of construction; (d) usefulness for Chess education. 

4. Each competitor may send in not more than three positions, but will only be 
allowed to take one prize, and prizes will be awarded as follows: 

(1.) For the best position, £2 2s. 

(2.) For the second best ditto, a hand-painted Torquay terra cotta plaque, value 
j£i is., presented by Carslake W. Wood, Esq. 

(3.) For the third best ditto, a copy of Gossip's " Theory of the Openings," pre- 
sented by the Rev. C. E. Ranken. 

5. The competing positions, together with full solution, distinguished only by a 
motto, and accompanied by a sealed envelope enclosing the author's name and ad- 
dress, to be posted to the Chess Editor, Guardian Office, North End, Croydon, 
Surrey, England, for English composers on or before the 31st March, 1884; for 
others on or before the 30th April, 1884. 

6. The Rev. C. E. Ranken, of St. Ronan's, Malvern, has kindly consented to 
act as judge.

The game was forwarded to J. W. Miller, of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, 
who will add a move and keep the game traveling. 

— Dr. Zukertort played in Toronto thirty games simultaneously, winning 25, los- 
ing 2 and drawing 3. He gave an exhibition of blindfold playing against twelve 
of the strongest players in Canada, and won 6 games, lost 5 and drew 1. This re- 
sult speaks well for Canada Chess playing. 

— In Ottawa, at the meeting of the Dominion Chess Association, the Doctor 
played nine games, winning 6 and losing 3. The fortunate players were Prof- 
Cherriman, Dr. Hulbert and Mr. Moodie. The Tourney commenced on the 30th 
of January last, under the Toronto rules. 

— The publication of the Copenhagen Vor Tid has ceased. The only Danish 
Chess column of importance is now published in the Nationaltidende, under the 
editorship of Mr. Hertzsprung, and we are requested to advise that all communi- 
cations are to be sent to Chess Editor, Nationaltidendc, Copenhagen, Denmark. 

— We clip from the Saint John Globe the following : 

" St. John (N. B.) Chess Tournament — This Tournament was brought to a 
close on the 31st ult. It is to be regretted that the games were not completed, but 
we think that the action of the committee in closing the Tournament was quite 
right, as for the past few weeks there were very few games played, and the players ap- 
peared to have lost interest in it. What St. John players now want is a Chess club. 
We would suggest in connection with the Y. M. C. A. Next week will be publish- 
ed a table, showing the number of games played by each player and with whom 
played, and the result." 

— We regret to hear that the champion blindfold player, Mr. Blackbupie, was 
unable to visit Liverpool as arranged on account of indisposition. We wish to the 
champion prompt recovery. 

— A grand tournament, under the leadership of Mr. Szymanowsky, the editor of 
the Warsaw Courrier, was being played on the last month. Five prizes were of- 
fered, amounting each to 600 roubles, and the combatants were twelve, among 
whom Messrs. Klezynski, Zobieski and M. Winawer (not the great Polish master 
S. Winawer).

— The Handicap Tournament of the Cercle des Echecs de Paris was going on, 
the struggle of the players of the first-class having terminated with a victory for 
M. Chamier, who won i game and drew the second against his competitors, Messrs. 
Arnoud de Riviere and Clerc. The players of the second class withdrew from the 
tournament, and the battle of the third class was at the last date reduced to 
Messrs. Lutscher and Count of Tamisier. 

— A circulating game, started in England by Mr. Newham, is going round, and 
promises to be very interesting, considering the class of players through which it 
moves. We append the score, according to last date's account, when it was sent 
to Dr. Noa for the next move :

NOTES. 

(■) A risky move, which is well Uken advantage of 
by Mr. Lipschutz. 

(b) Mr. Simonson's play in this game is by no means 
up to his usual standard ; this capture leads to the loss 
of the game. 

(c) The attack is capitally sustained all through ; of 
course if K x R, Kt mates at R 4. 



Game No. 144.

(b) Mr. Shipley, who deserves great praise for the 
masterly conduct of his game against his formidable 
antagonist, now finishes off with a neat little mate in 
three moves.

Notes bv M. Rosenthal {JLa Vie Modern*). 

(a) We do not approve this move. There are here 
three ways of defence which we consider good, viz : 

xst. 5. T to Q 4,6.. Px P— B toK Ktsch, 7..Kt to 
B3— Castles QR, 8.. Px Kt— B to Q B 4 ,o..P x P ch

ii ..K x B-^R x P followed by R to K B 5 ch., Q to K 
B 7 ch, Kt to B 3 ch, and wins)— B x Kt ch, 11 . .P x B 
— P to Q R 3 etc., best. 

ad. 5 ..P toQ 3— 6..Kt to B 3— B to K Kt 5, 7..B x 
P— B x Kt ch., 8.R1 B— P to K B 4, etc., best. 

3d. 5-PtoO Kt 3, 6..PtoQ R 4 — Bto Q R 3 ch, 
7 . . Kt to Kt 5— P to Kt 4, etc. 

(b) If 8.. P to K 5— BxKt,o..Px B (if o..PxKt— 
B x P ch, best)— Kt to K 5 ch followed by Kt x B P. 

(c) In this position we consider Black's game inferior 
because the gambit P is weak, and must give way 
sooner or later. The attempt to defend this P by the 
move in the test, should have been fatal to Black. The 
best continuation was q. . B to Q a. followed P to K Kt 
4 and castling Q R. 

(d) Black cannot save the piece. If it . Kt to K 2, 
12.. Pto P B3— Bto R4, 13..Q toQ R4ch. 

(e) A mistake which puts the game in danger. Black 
sees that the P cannot be taken for the reply would be 
QtoR4 ch. The right move was 14.. Qto K 2 ch 
K to B or K to Q. 15. .K to Kt, and if Blacks R attacks 
While' s Q, then Q to K B 2 and B to Q 2, maintain! n g 
his piece with an excellent position. 

(f) If 9i..QtoR4,22..Q toK B 5 — PtoK R 3, 93.. 
P to K R 4 best. 

(g) Black having three Ps for piece is quite right in 
trying exchanges, which will make him stronger for 
the end game. 

(h) We would prefer 39. Pto Q4, 4o..PxPtoPx 
P, 41 . . Kt to QB 2 (if 41 . P to Kt 5, R to Kt 5, and if 
4Z..K to B3, T to QB 3 followed by K to R S), Rto 
<fc B 5 followed by K to R 5. 

(i) It would be better to prevent the Kt entering 
into the game, by playing 40. . P to Q B 4. 

(j) If 45. .P to Q B 6, 46. .K x P followed by Kt to 
K qch. 

(k) A mistake which loses the game. White could 
easily secure a draw by playing 52 . .Kt to K 3 or to Q

(c) An excellent rejoinder to Black's last move. 

(d) R to K R is certainly preferable to this advance, 
though under any circumstances Black has a very up- 
hill battle to fight.

NOTES. 

(a) We should have preferred attacking the Rook 
with the King, and thus preventing Black from gaming 
time to make the all-important move of P to KB 5. 

(b) The Bishop appears to be very strongly posted, 
but* owing to the course the game presently takes, is 
really completely out of pUy, 

(c) From this point Mr. Baird plays admirably. 

(d) It was thought by some of the spectators that R 8 
was the proper square to check on. We doubt, how- 
ever, whether White in any event could do more than 
draw. 

(e) White could draw by playing R to B 4 ch, but to 
his own destruction he plays to win.

(a) A move introduced a year or two ago by one of

(b) P to Q R 3 is better. 

(c) The commencement of one of those brilliant at- 
tacks which occur so frequently in Mr. Blackburne' s 
blindfold performances. 

(d) If PxR, White replies with Q x R P ch, and 
mates in two more moves. 

(e) There is no escape for him ; should he take the 
Bishop, White checks with Queen, and then moves 
Queen to Kt 6, and should he play 26..K to R, White 
may retire Bishop to Q Kt, threatening KxR P ch, 
as also Q to Q B 2.

NOTES. 

(a) It is almost universally admitted that in this po- 
sition 9. .Kt to Q R 4 is the best defence at Black's com- 
mand. 

(b) White manages the attack after the most ap- 
proved fashion. 

(c) A pretty com/, which virtually decides the game 
in White's favor. 

(d) K to R 3 seems a better resource, but we believe 
that White's attack is too powerful to be successfully 
defended.

NOTES. 

(a) The ordinary move, Kt to Q B 3 seems prefer- 
able. 

(b) There was no necessity for this; 9 P to K B 4 
might have been played without danger. 

(c) Hereabouts the contest assumes a rather ani- 
mated character, and for the next score of moves or so, 
is very evenly carried on by both parties. 

(d) with the disappearance of the Queens the slight 
weakness Black suffers from, in the isolation of his 
centre. Pawn is somewhat increased. 

(e) Having got his K at B a in defence of his Rook, 
White was in a position to play B to B 5, whereupon 
the Black Pawn must have fallen. 

(f ) Black's last move, P to K Kt 4 was ill-considered, 
and White's superiority is now palpable. 

(g) Doubtless with the object of pinning the Kt 
should his opponent play 30. . B to B 6. 

(h) Perhaps the simplest way 1 to bring the game to 
an end. 

(i) As he was under mate the piece could not be 
saved. 

The remaining play requires no comment.

(a) Not rood, but played purposely with the view 
of developing the game soon. 

(b) The sacrifice of this P is sound. 

(cj If instead of the text move he had played K R 
to Kt 4, Black would have rejoindered with Kt to Q 2, 
to prevent the intention of capturing the Kt's P. 

(d) White has succeeded in keeping the adversary's 
Q P in a black sq, thus rendering his B quite useful 
against any attack of Black. 

(e) If P to Kt 4 White would play B to K a. 

(f) A move which compels a draw. 

(g) Black has in his favor the exchange, but can- 
not win on account of the move thai White threatens 
at the first opportunity of P to B 4, followed by P to 
Kt 5 .

(b) The second player has now as rood a game at he 
can expect, considering the nature of the odds. 

(c This exchange, we think, was an error on the part 
of Mr. Baird ; it gives Black a passed Pawn and opens 
an important diagonal for his Queen and Bishop. 

(d) Threatening R x Kt P ch, etc. 

(e) It is rarely, indeed, that Mr. Baird is guilty of 
such a palpable oversight as this is. 

(f) To prevent Q to Q 3 on the part of the adversary. 

(g) Better than taking the Rook. 

(h) The finish is interesting enough.

(b) Too timid ; P to K B 3 would hare been a very 
disagreeable move for White to answer. 

(c) B z Kt would be disadvantageous for White, al- 
though at first sight it would seem as though he could 
win a piece by the capture. 

(d) He should have gone to Q Kt 7. 

(e) A position illustrating the superiority of position 
over force ; Black can bring nothing to the rescue of 
his Kt, and has no better resource than the move of the 
King.

MONTHLY BUDGET. 

The presence in this country of the two greatest Chess players of the time 
has aroused to an unusual degree the attention of our people to the attractions of 
the noble game. It is a fact that, with the exception of their exhibitions of blind- 
fold and simultaneous playing, neither master has played in America any game 
that we are aware of which could add one leaf to the wreath of their well-earned 
fame. Probably their opportunities have not been many, since there are so few 
players on this side of the Atlantic who could exact from them the exercise of ail 
their strength and talent ; and for this reason it is the more to be lamented that, 
having such a tempting field on this neutral ground, for a fair encounter between 
themselves, which would be regarded as a compliment by the people of this coun- 
try, the earnest desire on the one side to meet his rival cannot be responded to 
with an equal disposition on the part of the other. This has been the cause of 
much disappointment among our Chess amateurs, and has certainly dispelled 
our own expectation of seeing some of the most remarkable games ever played, 
which a match between these Chess giants would undoubtedly produce. 

— The meetings of the Danites Chess Club the past month have been unusually 
interesting and fully attended, especially that of Feb. 28th at the residence of the 
President, Mr. Metz, at which the consultation game with the Columbia Club was 
concluded. This game has been the means of arousing a good deal of interest in 
the Club, some members having attended the meetings at which it has been dis- 
cussed, that have not been present since before the holidays. The Tourney is 
nearing the end, and the games now being played are watched with considerable 
interest, on account of their effect upon the final result, and those near the top of 
the list can begin to calculate their chances of winning the prize. The leading 
scores are as follows : 

Players, Won, Lost, To play,

— The consultation match game between the Danites and Columbia Clubs, of 
Brooklyn, which was mentioned in the last issue of the Chronicle as about to be 
played, took place this past month. 



i. 



82 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 

Each Club was represented by three players ; a rule that no move should take 
more than ten minutes, was adopted ; the regular rules were to govern disputed 
points if any occurred. The game was commenced on Thursday evening, Feb. 
2 1 st. at the residence of Mr. Frank Rudd. The Danites Club was represented by 
Messrs. Horner, Thayer and Rudd ; the Columbia Club by Messrs. Osborn, Henry 
and Gustavus Behr. The latter drew the white men with the first move, opening 
as follows : 

White. Black. White. Black.

4..PtoQB4 4..QKttoB3 8.. Castles 8.. Castles 

which promised an interesting game, but the subsequent moves did not fulfill the 
promise, as both sides committed errors, and the game was slow in developing and 
had to be adjourned to the following Thursday, at which time the meeting was 
held at the residence of Mr. Anton Metz, President ©f the Danites Club. The 
game was finally won by the Danites Club, although it was for most of the even- 
ing favorable to the Columbia Club, and as a whole was not one that either side 
could be very proud of, or satisfied with. 

If the friendly intercourse between the two Clubs, which this game has been the 
means of introducing, be continued, it will have accomplished all that was hoped 
for, and there seems to be no reason why it should not. 

— The result of the Annual Handicap Tourney of the Baltimore Chess Associ- 
ation for 1883 was as follows: 

Won. Lost. 

Class A— J. C. Boyd 6 6 

" « 4 C. L. Wode b% s%

Class B—M. J. Fowler 5 7 

«• «• J.W.Dallam 5 7 

Class C—W. H. Numsen 6 6 

Victor Frohlich 8# 3^ 



«« «« 



Mr. Victor Frohlich winning first prize ; Mr. C. L. Wode, the second, and 
Messrs. Boyd and Numsen divide the third. Mr. Boyd would probably have won the 
first or second prize had he not forfeited several games on account of non-attend- 
ance. 

— The prize-winners in the Second Annual Tournament of the Thurlow Chess 
Club are as follows : 

Won. Lost. 

1st — C. E. Dennis 16 4 

2d— S. H. Edwards 15^ 4^ 

3 d-F.B. Eddy i 4 # 5 £ 

4th — H. Foust 13 7 

As will be seen by the scores, the contest among the prize-winners was remark* 
ably close.

— The annual dinner of the Manhattan Chess Club given at Martinelli's, corner 
Fifth avenue and Sixteenth street, on Saturday evening, ist instant, proved one of- 
the most enjoyable and successful events in the social history of that Club. 
Shortly after seven o'clock some sixty members and invited guests assumed their 
appointed places at the festive board, over which the newly-elected President of 
the Club, Mr. George T. Green, presided with an elegant and unaffected grace and 
bonhomie that imparted an agreeable sense of dignity and cheerful hospitality to the 
scene. At each plate reposed a cream-tinted leaflet containing the menu> and a 
card with the name of the guest, in the left upper corner of which was a neatly en- 
graved chess problem by Mr. Geo. E. Carpenter, which we present herewith. 

Problem, 
black. 




WHITE. 

Mate in three moves. 

The menu displayed a well-selected variety of substantiate and delicacies that 
could not fail to make an easy conquest of the dullest appetite, while flowers and 
fruit plentifully distributed along the table mingled their fragrance with the aroma 
of the dishes. Among the notable Chess knight-errants present were Messrs. 
Steinitz and Zukertort, Captain Mackenzie, Mr. D. S. Thompson, of Philadelphia; 
Messrs. B. F. Parlett, Jr., and E. C. Howells,of Baltimore; the veteran Thomas Frere; 
Messrs. E. M. Mufioz, Gilberg, Delmar, Fisher, Helwitz, Curry, Schlessinger, 
Hartshorne, Mackay, Simonson, and others of the Manhattan Club. 

Upon the removal of the cloth the post prandial entertainments were introduced, 
accompanied with lively strains from popping corks, and a number of speeches, 
amply charged with compliment, wit, humor and hostile defiance followed. But to 
many the most interesting event of the evening was the presentation to the Club, 
by its directory of a life-like portrait, in oil, of Paul Morphy, by a distinguished 
American artist, Mr. Elliot. During the feast this painting— a bust of nearly life- 
siz£ dimensions — had hung veiled upon the wall, and the curiously draped object 



84 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle, 

had excited the wonder of the guests, whose vivid imaginations were sorely taxed 
to solve the mystery. Some malicious wight sent a whispered report round the hall 
that the ominous drapery concealed a gigantic chess-board which was to be pro- 
duced at the proper moment to enable the two distinguished foreigners to settle 
their bitterly disputed claims of supremacy ; but, unfortunately for those whose 
belligerent ardor had been duped into expectation of beholding a Kilkenny war, the 
curtained object was at length exposed, and Mr. Frere made the presentation in a 
neat and appropriate address. Mr. Green accepted the valuable gift in behalf of 
the Club, and then proceeded to distribute the prizes among the successful candi- 
dates in the late handicap tournament, as follows : 

First prize, Capt. Geo. H. Mackenzie ; second prize, Mr. D. G. Baird ; third 
prize, Mr. S. Lipschutz ; fourth prize, Mr. Eugene Delmar ; fifth prize, Mr. J. S. 
Ryan. 

Mr. G. Simonson, while failing to secure a prize, was honorably mentioned as 
having made the best score against the prize winners. 

Songs, music and desultory speeches followed till near midnight, when, with 
lingering steps, the assembly reluctantly dispersed to prepare for their Sunday de- 
votions. The Dinner Committee, comprising Messrs. Geo. T. Green, J. S. Curry, 
R. H. Channing and Casimir Thoron, deserve much credit for the energy and 
ability which secured so elegant and enjoyable an entertainment. 

— The annual election of officers of the Philadelphia Chess Club resulted in the 
selection of D M. Martinez as President, G. Reichhelm as Vice-President, and 
Charles Newman, Secretary. The Executive Committee will consist of Messrs. 
Thompson, Michaelis, Kaiser, Barclay and Del Puente with the officers. 

— The third annual handicap tourney of the St. Louis Chess, Checker and 
Whist Clubs, which closed February 18, 1884, resulted as follows : 

Won. Lost. 

1st Prize — Chas. Moehle 18 4 

2d " — A. H. Robbins 16 6 

3d " — C. D. N. Campbell 15J 6} 

— One of the presents made to the son of W. H. Vanderbilt, the New York 
potentate, on his coming of age recently, was a superb set of chessmen used by 
the Emperor Napoleon while in confinement at St. Helena. 

— The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette's ninth tourney for solvers and problemists 
began March 1st in the Daily, and will continue four months, ending with June. 
The tourney will be for two problems weekly. A credit of one will be given for 
each key, a credit of one for finding that a problem has no solution, and a credit 
of one for finding that a position is impossible. 

Only the key of two-movers will be required. - In other problems a brief an- 
alysis should be sent. 

The End Game Tourney will be a separate feature. Credits will be given on 
the same plan as in the problems. One end-game will be given each week, and 
the solutions sent should embrace a brief analysis. 

Two weeks allowed for all solutions. Distant subscribers will be allowed extra 
time. Solutions will be published at the end of three weeks.

FOREIGN NOTES. 

Mr. J. H. Blackburne, the celebrated blindfold player who we announced in our 
last was seriously ill, we are glad to report is now convalescent. 

— The match between Southsea and Chichester, which came off on the 18th of 
February, resulted in a victory for the latter Club by a score of 4 to 3. 

— An interesting match took place at Oliphant Cafe, Ludgate Circus, on the 
nth of February, between the Croydon and Endeavour Clubs, which resulted in a 
draw, each side winning 4-i games. 

— We hear with pleasure of the formation of the Scottish Chess Association, to 
which we wish long life and prosperity.

This table shows that the Ruy Lopez and French games have a decided prefer- 
ence for tournament playing. 

— Signor Emilio Orsini has retired from his able editorship of the Nuova Rivista 
degli Scacchi, which is now, since the beginning of this year, in care of the very 
distinguished player, Signor C. B. Vansittart, of Rome, in whose hands we sincere- 
ly hope it may continue flourishing for many years. The new address is " Rome 
(Italy), Piazza di Spagna, 10." 

— A very interesting correspondence match between Paris and Vienna was to 
be commenced about the end of last month. A friendly challenge was sent to 
Paris by the Austrian Club, of which Baron Albert de Rothschild is President, and 
the arrangements having presented no difficulty, it was announced by La Vie Mod- 
erne that the match would certainly take place. The transmission of moves will 
be made by telegraphic dispatches confirmed by letters, four days being allowed 
to each side for the analysis of each move and decision of the reply. Two games 
will be played simultaneously, one started by Paris and the other by Vienna ; and 
there will be an interruption of two months, from the 15th July to the 15th Sep- 
tember. The prize will be 2,000 francs ($400) for the winning side ; but if both 
games are drawn, or one won by each side, there will be no winning. In the lists 
of the elected players are found, on the part of Vienna, the names of Brentano, 
Englisch, B. Fleissig, Dr. Fleissig, Dr. Kleeberg, Dr. Meitner, J. Schwarz, and 
Max Weiss ; and on the part of Paris, those of Rosenthal, Arnous de Riviere, 
Chamier and Clerc. And it is now advised from Vienna that Baron Kolisch and 
Csank have been added to the Austrian phalanx, thus forming a formidable array 
against the French. 

— In the great match between the Chess Association of Surrey and Sussex, 
England, there were 25 players on each side, the result being a victory for Surrey, 
with 17 won games and 15 lost. 

— Signor C. Salvioli, of Venice, is going to publish a book on the Theory and 
Practice of Chess (Teoria e Pratica del Giuoco degli Scacchi), composed of ten 
issues of 24 pages each, which will appear during the present year. The work is 
warmly recommended by the Committee of the late Venice Tournament, of which 



Brooklyn Chess Chronicle.

Sgr. Salvioli was Secretary. Price of subscription in Venice, 10 lire (about $2). 
Author's address, S. Marina, Venezia, Italy. 

—The Handicap Tournament of the Cercle des Echecs de Paris was at last 
account coming near to its end, the third, fourth and fifth prizes having been won 
respectively by Count Tamisier, Count d'Harcourt, and Lowenstein ; and the last 
prize being disputed by the four prize-winners, say, Chamier and the three above 
named gentlemen. 

— Dr. S. Gold's Book containing 60 two, 100 three and 40 four-move Problems, 
has reached us, and we can recommend it to our friends as one of the most inter- 
esting collections of its kind ever published. The book costs in Vienna 3 florins. 

We take the following interesting end-game by Mr. B. Horwitz, from the London 
Chess Monthly of February last :

From the moves in the text we conclude that the position is correct ; but, then,

the B to the same winning position, saving 5 moves ?

NOTBS FROM THE ALLGBMBINE SPORT ZBITUNG. 

(a) Not good ; this move weakens the King's wing. 

(b) White advances on Black's game, preparing a 
strong attack. 

(c) Here is the sequel of the preceding move. Bishop 
will not dare take B. 

(d) Black does not capture the R P, fearing the 
eventual loss of his Q. 

(e) If Ktx R, White mates in two moves.

NOTES BY P. ZANNONI. 

(a) Considered better than the usual move B to K a. 

(b) Black preferred the exchange of Knights to the 
possible excnange of Queens on Castling -thus, 10.. 
Castles; it. .Kt x Kt, P x Kt ; 12. QxQ,Q RxO ; 
13. .Kt to Kt 5 , Bto B 4 . (Ifiv.BxB; i 4 ..T»xB t Kt 
x K P; i5..KtxKPand gets better.) 14.. B to B 4, etc. 

(c) We doubt the efficacy of this move. 

(d) Preparing to play P to K Kt 4 and P to K B 4, 
with a strong attack upon the adversary's K. 

(e) White seems to rely too much on the strength of 
his position when he allows a well supported P to be 
posted on the 6th line. He should play R to Q 3 with 
a better game Even R to B 3 would be better than 
the move in the text. 

(f) Black's defence at this point is full of difficulties, 
and with great foresight he occupies with his Q a diag- 
onal of vital importance. 

(g) The only move : R x P would have been fatal, 
for instance, 29..R x P ; 30..R x R, P x R ; 31. .Q x R 
P, Pto H 4 ; 3 2..RtoR4.gx K P; 33 ..g to Kt 5 ch, 
QtoKta; 34. .QxR, Qto B; 35.. R to R 8, etc. 

(h) The remark was made that White ought to have 
played R to B y In such a case our reply would have 
been K to B followed by R to Q 4. Let us see : 31 . . 
RtoB 5 , Kto B: 3 2..PtoK R^RtoQ*; 33..PXP, 
PxP; 34 ..RxKt P, Rx B P, etc , andit 34 . , Q x P, 
P to Q 7, etc. 

(i) The position is very interesting. 32.. P x P would 
have been replied R x K P, as we believe, to the ad- 
vantage of Black 

(j) ff 33..R x Kt P ch, P x R ; 34- Q x P ch, K to B; 
35..QtoKt 7 ch, KtoK; 36. .Q to Kt 8 ch, Q to B 8, 
and wins. 

(k) These exchanges leave White without any re- 
source, and from this point Black remains in possession 
of the field. 

0) Threatening P to Q 7, followed by Q to to Kt 5. 

(m) This yueen's end is very pretty ; Black plays 
his defence correctly.

NOTES. 

(a) We are somewhat doubtful as to the propriety 
of this capture, as it brines the Bishop into action. 

(b) A slip which costs the " exchange." 

(c) White has been playing very well since his error 
on the 23d move, and by this capture may be said to 
have equalized the forces, inasmuch as he has won a 
Bishop and two Pawns for a Rook. 

(d) Threatening mate at Q 6. 

(e) All this is managed in very fine style by Mr. Ry- 
an, and we are inclined to think that the present game 
is about the best one played by him in the tournament. 

(f) His best resource is probably K to K 3, but 
Black's superior force is pretty sure to win in the end.

NOTES. 



(a) This exchange is generally considered to be un- 
favorable for Black ; K Ktto K 2 is the "book" move. 

(b) The attack seems to be assuming very threaten- 
ing proportions, but the defence proves equal to the 
occasion. 

(c) DoubUess a slip, which in a serious game Doctor 
Zukertort would never have been guilty of. 

(d) A capital counter-stroke, deciding matters forth- 
with. 

(c) There is nothing better left.

NOTES. 

(a) Better to have taken the Knight; Black now gets

characterized by an unwonted degree of timidity. 

(c) An excellent and perfectly sound sacrifice, which 
is followed up in most vigorous fashion.

NOTES. 

(a) We should have preferred R to Q B at once ; the 
move in the text drives the adverse Queen to a more 
attacking post than the one she at present occupies. 

(b) From this point White plays capitally. 

(c) Far more conclusive than the immediate capture 
of the Rook, as our readers will see on examining the 
position.

NOTES. 

(a) The old continuation, 7 B to B 4 ch, seems to be 
completely discarded in favor of the text move, an in- 
vention of Mr. Thorold, the well-known English ama- 
teur. 

(b) Opinions are divided as to whether this or K to 
Kt 2 is the better move. The text move has the merit 
of enabling the Black Bishop to develop at K Kt 9. 

(c) The beginning of an attack which is carried on in 
excellent style. 

(d) If B x Kt White takes P with Q ch, etc. 

(e) This shuts out the Queen and brings about the 
disruption of Black's game.

NOTES. 

(a) A defence that has long ago been abandoned as

(b) The natural place for the Bishop in the Ruv 
Lopez, 

(c) The attack is carried on by Mr. Winawer in a 
manner worthy of his distinguished namesake and 
cousin, the gentleman who tied with Mr. Steinitz for the 
first prize in the Vienna Tournament of 1882. 

(d) Threatening a deadly check with the Rook. 

(e) Another judicious sacrifice, which has the effect 
of reducing the Black forces to a state of utter helpless- 
ness.

Mackenzie will play another series of games at the rooms of the Manhattan Chess

tation of the Club of said city. We shall keep our readers posted on this interest-

British Chess Magazine. 

— We have been favored by Signor Carlo Salvioli, of Venice, with the first de- 
livery of his very interesting work, " Teoria e Praticadel Giuocodegli Scacchi" now 
in course of. publication. On first perusal of the introduction to the work, we 
feel confident that the execution will answer the best expectations of the public 
from the distinguished author, and that the book will be very useful to the young 
players and the Chess amateurs in general, its method being excellent, and its style 
remarkable for perspicuity and precision.

We have not yet been informed of the result of the decisive game between

— The London Chess Monthly announces a coming <( Second International Prob- 
lem Tourney," the conditions of which, they say, will appear in their next issue.

— On the 19th of March last a meeting of several gentlemen was held at Sorn- 
bank, Pollokshields, England, with the object of forming themselves into a Chess 
Association. Mr. Fyfe was elected to take the chair, who said that he hoped the 
club they were called to form would take a definite shape. Without any more 
remarks, the Chair proposed to constitute themselves formally into a Chess As- 
sociation to be called the " Wanderers' Chess Club." This motion was seconded 
by Mr. Court, and it was unanimously agreed to. The following gentlemen were 
then elected officers : President, Mr. Fyfe ; Vice-President, Mr. Robert Hunter ;

agreed that the rules of the association be substantially those governing the Glas- 
gow Chess Club. 



HAVANA CORRESPONDENCE. 

The kind reception that you accorded to my last letter encourages me to inflict 
upon your readers another chapter of news concerning their brethren in this 
city. 

There is very little going on in Chess circles at present, the apathy on the part 
of the leading players, which I remarked in my last, continuing to exercise a very 
dampening effect on the ardor of the amateurs. The enthusiasm that was displayed 
for awhile in anticipation of a visit from the renowned masters, Steinitz and Zuker- 
tort, has almost disappeared, as the chances of these gentlemen presently coming 
here to battle have gradually diminished. Some stimulus is very much needed to 



102 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 

arouse the latent talent of this Chess community, which when stirred to action can 
perform some very creditable work ; and I sincerely hope that the expected visit 
of one or both of the eminent players will not be indefinitely postponed. 

Since my return a few days ago from Mexico, to which rising republic I paid a 
visit since I last wrote to you, I have discovered that some of the regular players 
who are in the habit of meeting daily, have found a new site for their encounters, 
in the cheerful room that adjoins a well-known perfumery house in the Calle de 
O'Reilly. Noticing the absence of familiar faces at the Chess tables of the " Casino 
Espafiol," Circulo Militar," and " Club Union," which are the favorite rendezvous 
of Caissa's disciples, I was led by curiosity to search for their new battle ground, 
which I found to be in the above-mentioned locality. There may now be seen 
daily such well-known players as Mr. Golmayo, the champion of the island ; 
Vicente M. Carvajal, the Judge's most formidable rival; Emilio Hidalgo, one of the 
moving spirits of Chess in Havana, and Messrs. A. Medina, Antonio Fiol, Dr. 
Gavilan, Gabriel Toscano, Guillermo Bernal, G. Fernandez de Castro, Juan Fiol, 
Adolfo Moliner, Alejandro Elizaga, Valentin Corujo, Placido Dominguez, Juan 
Chacon, Manuel M. Castellanos, Antonio Gaitan, Jose* Gaitan and others. 

I was very much pleased to find Mr. Golmayo looking in better health than 
before my departure for Mexico. He has not yet, however, recovered his usual 
robustness. He always speaks in glowing terms of his visit to the United States, 
where he was very cordially received ; and cherishes delightful memories of his 
rencontres with the players of the Manhattan Chess Club, notably with the gallant 
Captain Mackenzie, of whom he speaks very highly. 

In Matanzas, although there is no specially constituted Chess club, there are 
several good players, notably Messrs. Valet and Blanco — and sufficient element 
for organizing at any time an excellant society. The players now meet every even- 
ing at the elegant and spacious rooms of the " Liceo," the leading social club of 
the city, where they have six tables, all of which are nightly occupied. A match 
was played some time ago between a few of the Matanzas and Havana players, 
which resulted in a drawn battle. Frequent repetitions of these matches would 
serve to arouse the dormant spirit of Chess, and create a more general interest in 
the game. Throughout the other large cities of the island, such as Cardenas, 
Cienfuegos and Santiago de Cuba, there are also players of fair strength, and Chess 
tables may be found in the principal club rooms. I know of few places where 
Chess is so generally played as in this island ; but the want of well organized clubs 
and occasional matches to stimulate the players and initiate them into the finesse 
and technicalities of the game, keeps all this talent in the shade, and prevents it 
from developing as it should. 

" Le Petit Club," as the few gentlemen who frequent the residence of my friend 
Don Francisco del Hoyo, are termed, continue to hold their sessions daily. The es- 
timable host, I regret to say, has been in too poor health recently to indulge much 
in his favorite pastime, but I hope that he will soon recover his strength, and be 
able to cope successfully with his adversaries, Messrs. Falangon and Del Monte. 



Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 103 

Mr. Andres C. Vazquez, the eminent chessist and champion of Mexico, recently 
passed through this city, and had a few off-hand passages at arms with some of the 
leading players. Mr. Vazquez is well known in New York, personally and through 
his books. Owing to his arduous duties in the diplomatic service of his country, 
he devotes very little time now to the game he loves so well, and is not, conse- 
quently, in very good form for contention. Nevertheless, he is by no means an 
adversary to be despised. 

I was too busy while in Mexico to look up Chess matters, and did not, therefore, 
write to you from "la gran Tenoxtitlan." My impression,however, from superficial 
observation, is that th£ game has not yet become very generally introduced in that 
famous land of Moctezuma. There are, nevertheless, some very good players, \ 
such as Vazquez, Palafox, Fernandez and others, who would do credit to any Chess 1 
community, and under whose guidance the royal game may be expected to in- 
crease in favor there, as it is doing throughout the universe. 

I leave for home in a day or two, and this will consequently be my last commu- 
nication to you from the "ever faithful isle." 

Yours sincerely, 

Havana, March 20, 1884. X 



OBITUARY. 

It is with pain we chronicle the news, which has come to us of the death of Mr. 
John Wisker, which occurred in Australia. He was a prominent English player, 
and took part in company with Messrs. Blackburne, Macdonnell, De Vere and 
others in the English Challenge Cup tournament of 1870, carrying off the first 
honors. He was editor of the game department of the Westminster Papers for 
nearly four years, which position he resigned to assume the editorship of the 
London Chess Magazine. Seeking to recuperate his health, he left England for the 
colonies, and finally settled in Melbourne, where he took charge of the editorship 
of the Chess department of the Australasian, which position he held till his death. 
We mourn his loss. 



We have also to chronicle the death of Mr. D. F. M. Starbuck, which occur- 
red in Cincinnati, Ohio, a few days ago. Mr. Starbuck was in his twenty-seventh 
year ; he was a brilliant and sound player ; thoroughly posted in all the openings, 
and was considered a very strong player and second only to the champion, Capt. 
Mackenzie. He played a match with Mr. Grundy, winning the majority of the 
games. Mr. Starbuck was probably the best blindfold player in the United States 
after the days of Morphy. The country has lost a good man, and the Chess 
fraternity will mourn his loss as we do.

NOTES. 



(a) The opening is original and rather in White's 
favor. 

(b) White.prefers developing his forces to winning 
theQKtP. ^ * 

(c) The commencement of a very ingenious combi- 
nation which soon develops into an irresistible attack. 

(d) If 25.. R x B Black wins at once by 25.. R to K

(e) K to Kt 2 looks slightly better, though White's 
victory is merely a question of time. 

(f) The coup eU grace; threatening Q x R P ch, as 
also R to R 3 ch, etc.

NOTES. 



(a) White has lost time in the opening, and has now 
the inferior position. 

(b) Kt to Q 4 strikes us as being the more natural 
and better move. 

(c) After this it is impossible for White to escape 
some loss in material. 

(d) A pretty finishing touch.

NOTES. 

(a) We prefer 10..B to K 3. 

(b) Black gives up a Pawn by this move, but as a 
compensation gets an open Knight's file. 

(c) A premature advance, costing a valuable Pawn, 
which, with careful play on White's part, might have 
become very dangerous in the end game. 

(d) A neat little trap baited with the Q P. 

(e) Had he taken the Pawn, then follows :

NOTES BY F. ZANNONI. 

00 Q to Q 3 is better. 

(b) It would be very dangerous to play ia..Q to Q 
6 ; for instance, 13. .B to B a, B to Kt 5 ; 14. .B x B, Kt 
xB : 15..Q x KLQ x Kt ; x6..Ktto B 5, Kt x Kt; 
17. .B x B, Ktto K3 ; 18. .Q to Kt 3, threatening R to 

Ba. 

(c) An oversight, which costs a Pawn, a loss which 
brings on White a serious attack. 

(d) P x P might be played without danger. 

(e) Q to B a was perhaps preferable, but there is no 
satisfactory place for the Q at this juncture. 

(f) An unwise exchange, depriving him of his best 
defence piece. Black does not seem to mind the le- 
sistance he may meet from his opponent. 

(g) We believe that R to B a, followed by Q R to K 
B would have been more strong and decisive. 

(h) It seems to be the only saving move, as White 
threatened B to B 6, followed by Kt to B 5, Q to Kt 5, 
etc. 

(i) Neither this nor the following neat move is good, 
and Black improves the opportunity of getting out of a 
tight place. If 35.. Kt to B 5, it follows P to K B 3 ; 
therefore the best course was to double Rooks on the 
K B line. 

(i) A waste of time ; but the attack is at an end. 

(k) Q to B 7 would not improve White's game, for 
instance, 33..Q x B; 34. Qx Kt, R to K 8 ch ; 35..R 
to B. R x R ch ; 36..R x R, Q to K 7, and we prefer 
Black's game. 

(1) The game is now a draw. Some more moves were 
made, but no efforts could avail against a correct de- 
fence.

NOTBS. 



(a) A defensive move that is but rarely adopted now- 
ad&ys ; we believe it is considered sound enough, but 
it gives the seeond player too cramped a game. 

(b) An ingenious reply to White s sally with the re- 
ply, though in the end it does not turn out well. 

(c) From this point White plays remarkably well. 



(d) Black, we think, should have taken the pawn at 
all hazards. 

(e) To prevent the fatal check at Q 5. 

(0 An excellent stroke of play, bringing about an ex- 
ceedingly pretty termination. 

(g) White threatens O x R ch, etc., and an examina- 
tion of the position win show that Black has no means 
of saving the game.

NOTBS. 





(a) Castling or P to Q R 3 are both preferable to the 
text move. 

(b) With this advance White resumes the attack, and 
carries it through successfully. 

(c) It is evident that Black cannot capture the Rook 
without losing his Queen for a Knight. 

(d) Any other move would be still more disastrous. 

(e) The advance of this pawn hampers Black's posi- 
tion so much that it virtually decides the game. . 

(f ) These checks are given for the purpose of bring- 
ing up the White King. Should Black on his 48th 
move check at O a with either Rook, White of course 
takes both Rooks for his Queen and wins with the 
pawns.

(c) About the only chance there is to keep up the at- 
tack. 

(d) Amateur ought now to have interposed the Kt, 
and though still somewhat exposed, would have finally 
emerged from the skirmish with a numerical superiority 
amply sufficient to decide the contest in his favor.

MONTHLY BUDGET. 

— The Tournament for the championship of the Manhattan Chess Club did 
not commence until the 23d of April, the required number of entries not having 
been filled, on account of Messrs. Delmar and Blackmar having retired their 
names from the lists. The following are the names of the contestants : Messrs- 
Isaacson, Ryan, P. Richardson, Hanham, D. Baird and Vorrath. The pairing for 
the different rounds has been arranged as follows : 

Round I. — Isaacson vs. Ryan. Hanham vs. Richardson. Baird vs. Vorrath. 

Round II. — Isaacson vs. Richardson. Hanham vs. Vorrath. Baird vs. Ryan. 

Round III. — Isaacson vs. Vorrath. Hanham vs. Baird. Richardson vs. Ryan. 

Round IV. — Isaacson vs. Baird. Hanham vs. Ryan. Richardson vs. Vorrath.

The first class gives Kt to the second class, and Rook and Kt to the third. The 
second class gives Kt to the third. The Club is reported to be in a flourishing 
condition. 

—A new Chess Club has been formed in St. Louis, Mo., under the name of 
"South End Chess Club." 

— The membership of the Manhattan Chess Club has increased to 229, and we 
notice several names up for election. 



114 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 

—The Tourney of the Danites Chess Club will close with the first meeting in 
June, and much interest is centered on the last games, as the result is close and 
much doubt exists as to whom the prizes will go. The leading scores are :

Simis 11 4 °

Chadwick VA VA ° 

Manvel VA 7 l A ° 

The result will also be affected, because some of the contestants have not played 
their games with all the others, and some of their games will have to be thrown out. 
The Club has held its meetings regularly every Thursday ; its membership is 
growing, and much interest and enthusiasm is manifested. The usual summer va- 
cation will begin about the middle of June, continuing until October.

— The fourth annual tournament of the Baltimore Chess Association has come 
to an end ; the first prize has been won by Mr. H. G. Dallam and the second by 
Mr. E. O. Howell. We have not yet received the full score. 

— Up to the time of going to press, the score in the tournament at the Philadel- 
phia Chess Club stood as follows : Captain Michaelis, 6 games : Mr. Wilson, 4^ 
games ; Mr. Newman, 4 games ; Mr. Elson, 4^ games ; Mr. Thompson, i\ games ; 
Mr. Miller, 2\ games and Mr. Barbour, 2 games. 

— We learn from the St. Louis Globe- Democrat that the match for the challenge 
cup of the St. Louis Chess Club has terminated in favor of Mr. Max Judd by a 
score of 3 to o. Mr. Louis Haller was the challenger. Mr. Judd gave Knight, 
Pawn and two moves, and Pawn and move respectively in each of the three games. 

— With the issue of Sunday, April 13, ceased the Chess column in the Milwaukee 
Sunday Telegram, which his editor passed to the Chicago Mirror of American 
Sports, which appeared on Saturday, April 19. 



Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 115 

— We learn from the New Orleans Times- Democrat that the Chess Club of that 
city has been supplied with thirteen new tables, which are the most elegant and 
substantial ever seen. The membership of the club, which is nearing the thousand, 
has been limited to that number. 

— Mr. N. D. Luce, of Elmira, paid a visit to the Manhattan Chess Club on the 
afternoon of April 30, and was cordially received by the members. 

— On the 6th of April last Mr. J. H. Zukertort arrived in Cincinnati, where he 
played twenty-five simultaneous games, winning seventeen, losing six and drawing 
two. The winners against him were Messrs. Ettlinger, Charles Miller, F. Miller, 
J. W. Miller, Lukenbach and Euphrat. On the afternoon of the 7th he played ten 
simultaneous blindfold games, winning five, losing four and drawing one. In the 
evening he gave another exhibition of blindfold playing, meeting fifteen opponents, 
of whom he defeated twelve, resigned to two, and drew with the other. He also 
played several off-hand games, winning all played on even terms. On the 8th he 
played six blindfold games against Messrs. Treichler, Ettlinger, V. Abraham, 
Thowalter, Dr. Keeney and Euphrat, winning all but one, which he resigned to Mr. 
Ettlinger. On the 10th he arrived in St. Louis, where he remained two days as 
the guest of Mr. Max Judd, with whom he played a match of five games, Judd 
winning two, losing one and drawing two. On the 15th he reached New Orleans, 
where he has an engagement of two weeks. On the 16th he played fourteen simul- 
taneous games, winning twelve and losing two to Messrs. L. L. Labatt and F. P. 
Merrill. On the 18th he met twenty-three opponents, winning sixteen games, 
drawing three with Messrs. E. F. Vix, F. P. Merrill and J. M. Fass, and losing three 
to Messrs. L. L. Labatt, F. Claiborne and L. Z. Trudeau. Out of a considerable 
number of off-hand games, we mention those with Mr. C. A. Maurian, who lost 
three and won one from the Dr. We take the following from the N. O. Times-Democrat: 
On the 21st Dr. Zukertort met simultaneously a team of eighteen opponents, winning 
thirteen, drawing one with Mr. James G. Blanchard and losing four to Messrs. H. 
Ernst, E. J. Hamilton, R. S. Moore and James D. S6guin. In alike contest against 
twenty-three adversaries, on the following Wednesday evening, he made even a 
better record, winning twenty, drawing one with Mr. R. S. Moore, and losing only 
to Messrs. L. L. Labatt and N. B. Trist. Naturally, however, the chief interest of 
the week centered in Dr. Zukertort's exhibition of simultaneous blindfold play on 
the 25th instant. Unfortunately the committee of arrangements could not succeed 
in carrying out their original idea of combining all the strongest players of the club 
for this occasion, Messrs. McConneil, Blackmar and Vix being, to universal regret, 
absent from the lists, but, nevertheless, as will be seen, the array was quite enough 
to put the Doctor on his mettle. ********* 
The twelve combatants were Messrs. Labatt, Blanchard, Jardet, Merrill, Farrar, 
S£guin, Buck, Dunn, Chandel, Moore, Kaczoroski and Tennison. The result was 
that the blindfold player won six, drew four and lost two to Messrs. S£guin and 
Chandel. Dr. Zukertort's engagement in New Orleans has been extended one 
week more. In the course of the week Dr. Zukertort contested a number of games 
with various members, notably six games with Mr. James McConneil, the latter 
winning one and drawing one.

118 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 

MATE WITH BISHOP AND KNIGHT. 

This is the title of a letter addressed to and published by the Croydon 
Guardian, from which we take it, as we find it of great interest to those of our 
readers who may not be acquainted with the manoeuvres of this difficult and 
pretty mate : 
To the Editors of the Croydon Guardian : 

Sirs— In accordance with the promise contained in my postscript of last week 
I now proceed to give an account of Messrs. Durand and Preti's method of effect- 
ing this mate. 

After some preliminary remarks on the difficulties attending it, they continue : 
' " Aim and result of our discovery. The purpose of our idea has been to elimi- 
nate (faire disparaltre) the difficulty of which we have just spoken, and we think 
that we have attained this in keeping the Knight motionless (en immobilisant le 
Cavalier), except in one variation, which we have analyzed rigorously." They 
then give what they call a preparatory position, which can always be assumed by 
the stronger party. This position I have reproduced, with the necessary change 
of sides, below. To get this set up my diagram of last week (see Diagram No. 1) 
and make the following moves :

5..BtoB6 5..KI0B4 

6..B to K 7 (ch) 6..K to B 5 

And we arrive at the position (See diagram No. 2) : 

The preliminary moves at once denote the difference of the two methods. 



Brooklyn Chess Chronicle 
Diagram No. 2. 




The authors now say (the italics are mine) : " Strength of the preparalory posi- 
tion. It is such that the combined action of the King and Bishop, without the co- 
operation of the Knight, is sufficient to confine the Black King in the corner of 
opposite color to that of the Bishop, excepting one square, which the Black King 
can occupy ; which position we will analyze." 

Before we go any further, let the reader observe that the Knight is brought 
out to the most advantageous position which he can possibly assume. He com* 
mands eight squares, and, counting both those which are occupied by and those 
which are commanded by the White pieces, no fewer than twenty-five out of the 
whole sixty-four are guarded by them. This strikes me as being pretty well for a 
" preparatory " position, and to speak of the Knight as not co-operating is clearly 
an absurdity. Next note that the authors only claim that this combination is 
sufficient "to confine" the Black King to certain squares of the board, and that 
for that " the combined action of the King and Bishop" is requisite. There is 
not a word about using these pieces to force the Black King into a disadvanta- 
geous position. This is not all, for, as we shall presently see, the authors. 
even after gaining this favorable start, do not demonstrate their thesis by moving the 
King and Bishop alone; but preface the only solution they give by these words : 
" We choose by preference the variation where the Knight is obliged to act 
accordingly ! that is to say, when the Black King is at B 5." The reason of this 
" preference " will be pretty obvious to any one who will try what he can do with 
King and Bishop alone in this " preparatory position." 

That I may omit nothing which, so far as Messrs. Durand and Preti are con- 
cerned, can be in fairness alleged against the originality of my system, I append 
the whole of their solution (which, I repeat, is the only one given throughout the 
chapter treating of this mate), up to the point where it becomes a well trodden 
book variation ; 

White. Black.

Final decisive position, effectual in all parts of the chess board. It is neces- 
sary to master this thoroughly. 

16..K to R 4 
17. .Kt to Q 5, etc. 

The mate is effected on the 32d move. Add to this the 6 moves necessary to 
form the preparatory position, and the total of 38 seems a cl#se shave, leaving a 
margin of only 1 2 moves for possible deviations from the exact theoretical course. 

You will now see, sir, that there is nothing to show the authors ever contem- 
plated the employment of the King and Bishop alone to. drive the adverse King 
to the side of the board, as I have done. Moreover, in their chosen position they 
do not carry out their " discovery " to the termination one is led to expect, but 
choose quite another course. I, on the contrary, purposely do not use the Knight 
(even when he could advantageously be brought into action) until I have effected 
that which I undertook to demonstrate. 

I think these differences are sufficient to relieve me from any suspicion of having 
borrowed my ideas from the French authors, if not to give me a claim to an 
original method of treating this very difficult ending. Whether this latter be the 
case or not, time will show, for the publicity which you have afforded me will be 
a sure safeguard against that claim being allowed if not deserved. 

Perhaps I may add that I was led by three steps in the application of this prin- 
ciple to the Bishop and Knight end-game. The first was the investigation of that 
simplest of all drawn games, King against King. Seeing the powers of the King 
who had the opposition to control the range of his adversary, it occurred to me, 
as the second step, that the addition of a Bishop should be sufficient to force the 
solitary King back. The final step was the application of the theoretical idea to 
a practical purpose. I should not be surprised if other uses be found eventually. 

It is noteworthy that the King and Knight cannot effect this thrusting back of 
the Black King. Hence we have an illustration of a point in which the Bishbp is 



Brooklyn Chess Chronicle, 121 

superior to the Knight in an end-game. This point of superiority has not, I be- 
lieve, been noted in any comparison of the powers of the two pieces hitherto 
published. 

Thanking you for your courtesy in allowing me to set my views before the Chess 
public, 

I am, sir, yours faithfully, 

Edward Marks, 

Broadway chambers, Westminster, S. W. 
ist April, 1884. 

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 

We beg to call the attention of the following exchanges that have not yet 
changed our address, which is now 458 instead of 444 Henry street : St. Louis 
Globe- Democrat \ Baltimore Sunday News, Elizabeth Central Herald and Cincinnati 
Commerical Gazette. We miss some of their valuable numbers on this account. 

N. Dominguez Cowan, Mexico. — Muchas gracias por el juego que nos remite y 
que publicamos en este numero. Siempre que tenga a bien enviarnos buenos 
juegos se lo agradecer^mos mucho. Que* hay de nuevo sobre ajedrez por ese 
pais? 

Frau Sofie Schett, Unterwaltersdorf. — Sie haben Recht in Bezug auf das 
Problem No. 105 von Richard Crdsemann, jedoch war es, wie Sie aus der nach- 
sten nummer des Chronicle ersehen werden, falsch gedruckt. Besten Dank flir 
ein gesandten Probleme. Wir ersuchen Sie hoflichst uns immer vollstandige 
Losungen nebst alien Varianten einzusenden. 

Rich Crusemann, in Bremen. — Postkarte empfangen und von Ihrer neuen 
adresse haben wir Notiz genommen. 

Dayton. — The following \s in answer to your inquiry, as promised in our last 

number : 

In Cook's Synopsis, page 77, variation 9, the following line of play in the K B 

opening is given : 

i..PtoK4 i..PtoK4 

2..BtoQB4 2..KttoKB3 

3 ..PtoQ3 3 ..PtoQ 4 

4..PxP 4-.KtxP 

5-.Kt to K B 3 5..B toK Kt 5 

6.. Castles 6..PtoQB3 

And the game is said to be even. 

This statement, however, seems to be erroneous, as White by now moving 7 . . R 

to K has a considerable advantage in position ; he threatens 8. .Kt x K P, etc. 

Instead of 5 . . B to K Kt 5 Black's best defence appears to be 5 . . Kt to Q B 3 

followed by 6 . . B to K 2 should White castle. 

In any case the opening is not in Black's favor, owing to his altogether premature 

advance of the Q P on move 3, in place of which 3 . . Kt to Q B 3, or 3 . . B to Q 

B 4, are infinitely preferable.

— Rudolf L'hermet, Magdeburg. — Thanks for contribution, which ap- 
pears in this number. We shall be glad to be favored with more of your composi- 
tions. 

E. B. Cook, Hoboken — Please accept our sincere thanks, and come again. 

Charles A. Gilberg, C*/y.— We have been asked what has become of you. We 
suppose this means that your name has not been seen on our pages for quite a 
while. What shall we tell these inquisitive people ? 

F. M. Teed. — Both came safely to hand. Many thanks. We like it better now 

A.G. Sellman, Baltimore. — Have complied with your request, and sent you two 
problems. Can you give us any information in reference to a fine young gentleman 
who used to contribute to our Chronicle under the nam de plume, " D. L. Onra?" 
Is he dead or alive ? 

A. F. Mackenzie, Kingston, Jamaica. — We have changed your address, as re- 
quested. If you miss any numbers let us know.

NOTES. 



(a) By these exchanges Black obtains a slight ad- 
vantage in development. 

(b} An ingenious conception, which, but for Black's 
sacrifice of the " Exchange/' would have given White 
an excellent game. 

(c) An obvious slip, which loses at once ; White's 
position, however, is so broken up, that he must 
eventually lose, no matter what he plays. 

(d) The finish is an interesting one ; Black threatens 
R to K 3, and Kt to K a mate, and it will be found 
that only by a ruinous sacrifice can White avert the 
" impending mate."

(a) Well played, as it breaks up White's centre. 

(b) Ktx Kt is certainly better than this capture, 
which opens the Black Rook's on the White King's en-

(c) A sound sacrifice, forcing the game in a few 
moves. 

(d) Kt to K B 4, as Mr. Steinitz remarked when the 
game was ended, would be more expeditious. 

(e) There seems to be nothing better left, for White 
is in danger of losing a piece by 27 . . Kt x B, etc.

NOTES. 



(a) B x Kt followed by Kt to K B 3 has come into fa- 
vor of late years. 

(b) Necessary, to prevent the Kt going to Q Kt 5. 

(c) Making things secure on the Queen's side before 
commencing a formidable attack on the adverse King. 

(d) A beautiful sacrifice admirably followed up. 

(e) The ending is a good example of the Doctor's 
brilliant and correct style of play.

NOTES. 

(a) We believe this to be one of Mr. G. B. Kraser's 
many felicitous inventions, and it appears to be fully as 
strong as 5 . . Kt to Q Kt 5, a move first brought into 
vogue by Mr. Horwitz. 

(b) Very ingenious ; if B x B White wins the Queen 
by B to Q 3 dis ch. 

(c) Black's position seems hardly sufficiently de- 
veloped to permit of his running after pawns in this 
way, but in off-hand games the ° Bohemian Caesar " 
appears to court danger rather than avoid it. 

(d) White's forces are now magnificently situated for 
attacking purposes. 

(ej The commencement of a series of sacrifices, re- 
flecting great credit on Mr. Meriaii's powers of com- 
bination. 

(f) This is fatal; 22.. K to B, as Mr. Steinitz after- 
wards remarked, would have won the game, as should

NOTES. 

(a) P to Q 3 is the correct line of play. 

(b) The opening is indifferently managed on both 
sides. White on his fourth move should play OtoKj 
and Black in reply to the text move should advance 4 . .' 
P to Q 4. 

(c) BtoKa is, in every respect, preferable. 

(d) A well-timed sacrifice, after the acceptance of 
which it seems impossible for Black to save the game. 

(e) Giving White the opportunity for a neat ending 
of which he is not slow to avail himself.

NOTES. 

(a) Q to K B 3 is popularly supposed to be Black's 
best defence. 

(b) Four pieces are far more than an equivalent for 
the Queen, but in the present instance unfortunately 
for Black they are all at home. • 

(c) This, we imagine, must have been somewhat of a 
surprise to the gentleman who managed the Black men. 
The disparity of force when the mate is administered 
is somewhat remarkable.

— The Manhattan Chess Club proposes to hold a Summer Handicap Tourna- 
ment, should sufficient number of entries be made, and to that effect they have 
issued a circular calling on the members to enlist their names as soon as possible 
so that the necessary arrangements can be perfected in time. We hope to see a 
large list of entries. A club that counts now more than 230 members should show 
at least 20 per cent, of its members in this coming tournament. 

— A new Chess column, under the editorship of Mr. James B. Halkett, has 
appeared in the Ottawa, Canada, Independent Forester. Welcome ! 

— In the Elmira Telegram 's correspondence tournament, which is progressing 
very finely, Mr. Thowalter, of Kentucky, stands first with a score of 6± games won 
and 4 lost. Mr. Anderson comes next, with 6 games to 1, and Mr. Macfarlane 
third, with 5 games won to 1 lost.

— Annual Election of Officers of the New Orleans Chess, Checkers 
and Whist Club.— We copy the following from the Times- Democrat : 

The general meeting of the New Orleans Chess, Checkers and Whist Club, 
held at Grunewald Hall on the evening of the 5th May, for the purpose of consid- 
ering the proposed new constitution and by-laws, was the occasion of a very large 
and interested gathering of its members. The new constitution was very thorough- 
ly and minutely discussed, and, after considerable amendment, was finally adopted. 
Among the most important clauses adopted were those raising the initiation fee to 
$25 ; permitting the introduction only of non-resident members ; providing for a 
new system of election of the officers of the club ; raising a quorum for business 
from fifty to seventy-five members ; altering the close of the club's fiscal year from 
the first Thursday in January to the second Thursday in May ; prescribing a more 
difficult modus operandi for alterations of the constitution, and especially for the 
dissolution of the club ; and, finally, making even more stringent in terms the pro- 
hibition against money-playing in the club, and forbidding any change of this 
article of the constitution except by the unanimous consent of all the members. 
In accordance with the constitution thus adopted, another general meeting of the 
club was held on the evening of the 8th instant, at the same place, to hear the 
reports of officers and to make the nominations to be voted on upon Thursday 
next. The reports of the Secretary and Treasurer, as read, certainly show the 
club to be in a most flourishing condition, the membership being 1,031, and the 
net cash surplus on hand at that date over $4,500. Of the officers of the club, the 
present incumbents, Messrs. Chas. F. Buck, President ; Chas. G. Ogden and Dr. 
S. M. Bemiss, first and second Vice-Presidents, and A. T. Mather, Treasurer, 
were renominated by acclamation. 

The first election for officers under the recently adopted charter and constitution 
of the New Orleans Chess, Checkers and Whist Club was duly held on the 15th of 
May. There was, of course, no contest over the offices of president, vice-presidents 
and treasurer, for which the nominations had been made by acclamation, but there 
was a strong, though good-humored canvass over the five places on the governing 
committee. Eleven out of the twenty-one candidates nominated for the positions 
having withdrawn during the week, the vote was virtually upon two opposing 



Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 181 

tickets of five each, but there was so much scratching done that the exact result 
was somewhat in doubt until the actual count. This showed the following votes 
cast : I. K. Small, 362 ; Clem B. Penrose, 300 ; H. F. Warner, 282 ; Lucien 
Lyons, 264 ; Chas. Janvier, 217 ; A. T. Stevenson, 216 ; F. H. Frost, 203 ; G. A. 
Hero, 182 ; H. L. Dufour, 165 ; F. Claiborne, 160 ; and the commissioners of 
election thereupon duly returned the five first-named gentlemen as elected mem- 
bers of the governing committee for the ensuing year. Two of these, Messrs. 
Small and Janvier, are re-elections. 

—Mr. A. G. Sellman contested twenty-one simultaneous games at the rooms of the 
Baltimore Chess Association, on Monday evening, the 26th of May, with the fol- 
lowing result : Mr. Sellman won 16 games, lost four to Messrs. N. Dawson, R. F. 
Foster, M. T. Goldborough andL. Roettger, and drew one with Mr. E. J. Cou. The 
losers against the single player were Messrs. L. Tharp, E. B. Luckett, L Nelke, 
R. B. Everett, Wra. Roettger, Captain R. B. Chew, W. Baumgarten, Dr. C. H. 
Jones, Charles E. Needles, W. H. Numsen, Victor Frohlich, F. W. Koch, Harry 
Goldman, N.Gorfine, J. W. Dallam and C. L. Wode. 

— Dr. Zukertort left New Orleans on the 21st of May for San Francisco, Cali- 
fornia. On his way to Denver, Col., where he will make a short stay, he paid an 
unexpected visit to Cincinnati. He played several off-hand games at the Chess 
rooms, and also at the Cuvier Club. 

— The Danites Chess Club of this city held their closing meeting of the sea- 
son on June 5th. The Tourney was declared closed with the following score : 

Players. Won. Lost 

Wm. Thayer 12 J 2} 

R. W. Raymond... 12 3 

A. Simis, Jr 11 4 

Wm. Horner 7 5 

H. Chadwick 8} 7$ 

F. C. Manvel y\ 7$ 

The rest of the members either did not complete their games or lost more than 
they won. Upon this result the first prize was won by Mr. Thayer, who thereby 
received a handsome set of "Stanton" box- wood chess-men ; the second prize, a 
copy of " Bird's Chess Openings," was won by Dr. Raymond, and as the third 
prize, Mr. Simis receives a year's subscription to the Chronicle, which we offered 
at the beginning of the Tourney. The prizes were presented and received with 
appropriate speeches at this meeting amid much applause and merriment, in which 
all the members present shared. The next regular meeting of the club will be 
held October 2d, although there may be an extra meeting during the " heated 
term " at Coney Island, the arrangement of which was placed in the hands of the 
President and Secretary.

— The Championship Tournament of the Toronto (Can.) Chess Club has come 
to an end with the following result: C. W. Phillips, with 9 games won and 3 lost, 
won the first prize, consisting of Blaikie's Championship Cup and Gordon's Medal 
and the Championship for 1884. The second prize, a medal, was awarded to Mr. 
W. Boultbee, with 8J games won and 3$ lost. The third prize was carried by Mr. 
E. B. Freeland, having won 7 games and lost 5. Fourth prize, Mr. I. H. Gordon, 
w * tn Si games to 6£. Fifth prize, Mr. E. H. E. Eddis, with 5 games to 7. Sixth 
prize, Mr. G. Gibson, with 4 games to 8; and seventh prize, Mr. A. C. Meyers, 
with 3 games to 9. In the second class, Mr. J. McGregor won the first prize and 
Dr. G. W. Strathy the second. In the third class, Mr. W. M. Klingner took first 
and Mr. A. B. Flint second prize. 

— One of the most interesting handicap tournaments during the last few years 
commenced at the London Divan, on the 21st of May. Among the players of the 
first class are Messrs. Blackburne, Mason, Gunsberg and the Rev. G. A. McDon- 
nell. According to the last reports there were twenty entrants. The tourney will 
be of one game each, and draws to count half game for each. 

— We learn from La Vie Moderne that the inauguration of the new quarters of 
the Amiens Chess Association took place on the 27th of April. Mr. Rosenthal, 
who was present, accompanied by Count Tamisier and other gentlemen representing 
the Circle des Echecs of Paris, played ten simultaneous games, winning all of them 
— though in almost all the games he gave the odds of a Knight. We reproduce 
the position of one of these games, which our readers will like, it being a brilliant 
end game. Mr. Rosenthal also played five games blindfolded, winning them all.

— The same contemporary announces that during the coming fe'tes in the month 
of August next, to be given by the municipality of Basancon, the Chess Circle of 
said city will inaugurate a grand Chess tournament for all the French or foreign 
amateurs who may wish to enter the lists. The prizes to be given have not yet 
been made known.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 

— C. W. Phillips, Toronto. — Many thanks for valuable information, of which we 
made good use, as you may see in this number. The Week comes now regularly 
and it is a valuable exchange. We mail the Chronicle regularly. 

— James B. Halkett, Ottawa. — Letter at hand. You must have received the 
Chronicle ere this. Have you also a column in the Citizen, or is it a mistake ? 
If you have, let us see it also. 

— Elmira Telegram, Baltimore Sunday Neivs, Elizabeth Central Herald, 
please change our address on your wrappers ; you have still the old address on. 

— W. Mead. Brighton. — Have taken notice of your new address. Thanks for 
game, which appears in this number. 

— Emmett Hamilton, Ft. Snelling. — Thanks for contribution, which will soon 
appear ; you will find it in this number. 

— Federico Rose, Brooklyn. — Game received. The best annalists now in the 
country pronounce it unfit to appear in the Chronicle ; not wishing to analyze it 
ourselves, we gave it to the best men now in town without giving the names of the 
players, and was returned to us with the verdict above stated. 

— H. C. K., Pittsburgh. — Yes, sir ; the man you want to know about is still in 
Brooklyn, very healthy, but keeping in the shade. We hope, however, to stir him up, 
and you may see his name in the Chronicle soon. Watch for it. 

C E. Dennis, Thurlow, Pa. — The number you desire has been mailed. If 
such a thing happens again you may let us know, and we will accommodate you 
with pleasure.

NOTBS. 

(a) An error that we are surprised to find a player of 
Mr. Baird's skill and experience guilty of. In close 
openings like the present, the Q Kt should rarely if ever 
be played to Q B 3, before the Q B P has been advanced 
to his 4th square. 

(b) White's forces are now capitally developed. 

(c) A well devised sacrifice, which completely breaks 
up Black's position. 

(d) Bad as this is, there appears to be nothing better 
left.

(a) A slip which costs a pawn. 

(b) This sortie of the Kt (which is admirably taken 
advantage of by Mr. Ryan) is the principal cause of all 
White's subsequent difficulties. 

(c) Q to K B 5 ch, and then B to Q B 3 is stronger 
play.

NOTES. 



(a) A fair risk in an off-hand skirmish, but with pro- 
per afterplay on White's side, the sacrifice ought to re- 
sult to Black's disadvantage. 

(b) Here we think White misses his way ; he ought 
instead of the King move to have retired the Bishop to 
KKts. 

(c) Very finely conceived. 

(d) White falls into the trap -he should have played 
ii..BxKt, followed by 92.. P to K 5, should Pawn 
take Bishop. 

(e) Mr. Thimm plays the ending beautifully, the 
mate being accomplished in a most artistic style.

NOTES. 

(a) Everything seems now to portend a block, with 
the probabilities in favor of a drawn game. Mr. 
Blackburne, however, with far seeing judgment of po- 
sition, now forces an opening by the sacrifice 01 a 
piece, and the remainder of the game will be found to 
be full of life and interest. 

(b) An attempt at counter attack, and his best re- 
source. 

(c) Mr. Blackburne now reaps the reward of his 
masterly play, wins back the piece sacrificed, and re- 
mains with a decisive advantage in position.

(c) Black has already a mar kedad vantage in position, 
besides being a Pawn plus.

(e) A very subtle coup, whose purport is altogether 
overlooked by White. For the carrying out of his plan 
Black has to provide against the check of the Queen 
on the 27th move, and therefore retires the Bishop. 

(f) A very elegant finish.

( b ) The commencement of a very fine combination, 
bringing about one of the most brilliant terminations 
that we ever remember to have seen in a game at odds. 

( c ) The deadly precision with which these Knights 
are handled is especially noteworthy.

(c) The manner in which Mr. Blackbtirne conducts 
the latter part of this game is, under the circu mst ances, 
something marvelous, and goes far to substantiate the 
statement made by some of his admirers that his most 
brilliant games are to be found among those played 
without sight of board or men.

— Dr. Zukertort was on the ioth of June in Denver, Colorado. He played at 
the Chess Club of said city against three of its members, blindfolded, vanquishing 
all three in a short time. He also played the next day against four members, 
checkmating them in eighteen, twenty-six, twenty-seven and thirty-three moves. 
From Denver he went to Leadville, on his way to San Francisco. 

On the 14th of June the Dr. played ten simultaneous blindfold games in 
Leadville, against as many players of said city, winning seven, losing two, and 
drawing one. 

—A Chess tournament is to be held at St. Paul, Minn., under the auspices of 
the Club of that city. 

— Rumors are current to the effect that a club is to be organized at Washington, 
La. The idea is receiving encouragement from all quarters, and no doubt we 
shall soon hear of its final organization. 

— The tournament of the Galveston Chess Club terminated a few days ago. 
There were fifteen entries. The prizes were awarded as follows : first, to Mr. F. 
O. Becker, having won 26 out of 28 games ; second, to Mr. M. J. Cone, with 21 
games to his credit ; third, to Mr. H. E. Parker, with 1 9 games ; and fourth, to 
Mr. B. H. Jacobs, with 14 games. 

— The prize of $5, for the most brilliant game in the late championship tourna- 
ment of the Manhattan Chess Club, has been awarded to Mr. Ph. Richardson. 
This game will be found in the proper section in this number. 

— Mr. Buck, President of the New Orleans Chess Club, has appointed a commit- 
tee, composed of Messrs. Chas. A. Maurian, H. F. Warner, F. Claiborne, L. L. 
Labatt, and James D. S£guin, to make the necessary arrangements for the inaugu- 
ration of the fifth annual Chess tournament of the Club that is to commence next 
month. 

— We have received the first number of El Latino Americano, a Spanish month- 
ly newspaper containing a well-edited Chess column. The editor remains incognito. 
The Latino Americano offers a prize of $25 for every problem contributed by sub- 
scribers only and which the editors may find worthy of publication. So every 
problem published is entitled to the prize above named. They also offer a 
prize of $5 for the first correct solution sent of any of the problems published, N 
from each of the Spanish speaking coifcitries, but the parties sending solutions must 
necessarily be subscribers. We welcome our new friend, and wish the editors may 
prosper and live long. The Latino Americano is published by the Hektograph 
Co., No. 12 Church street, New York. 

— According to a letter of Mr. T. P. Bull, Chess Editor of the Detroit Free Press, 
published by one of our contemporaries, a new Chess club was organized on the 
23d of June, at Detroit, Mich. This is the only Chess club in the State of Michi- 
gan ; may it live long and prosper. 

Later news received confirm the above. The club was formed under the name 
of the Detroit Chess Association, with the following officers : President, Mr. 



Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 147 

Thomas D. Hawley ; Vice-President, Mr. Charles S. Bell ; Secretary, Mr. George 
M. Swan ; Treasurer, Herman Weirs; Directors, C. E. E. Childers, W. H. Sexton, 

A. W. Allen, G. Ducharme, J. L. Stendel. 

— We learn from the New Orleans Times- Democrat that the match between the 
Benedicts and Bachelors which, as announced, came off on the 4th inst., resulted 
in a victory for the Benedicts, who scored six games to five. 

The same journal informs us that Mr. Steinitz intends visiting the City of 
Mexico, having received a challenge from the Mexican champion, Mr. A. C. 
Vazquez. Mr. Vazquez is certainly a very strong player, but we are inclined to 
think that the Bohemian master is rather too much for him; but in justice to Mr. 
Vazquez we will state here that he has no pretensions of winning from Mr. Steinitz, 
but challenges him to play for the pleasure of playing with a superior player ; and 
he is disposed to pay well for that pleasure. 

— There is a rumor afloat that St. Louis is to have another Chess Club, separate 
and apart from cards. 

— Linden, Perry County, Tennessee, is to have a Chess club ; if the efforts of 
Messrs. A. W. Hunt and W. A. Edwards to organize it meet with the support of 
the Chess players of said city. We have no doubt that men of the pluck of Messrs. 
Hunt and Edwards do not undertake anything to fail, and we hope soon to receive 
the news of the final organization of the Linden Chess Club. 

— The fourth annual tournament of the Pittsburgh Library Chess Club has been 
concluded. The first prize was awarded to Mr. J. W Collins; the second to Mr. 

B. H. Lutton, and the third to Mr. J. L. McCutcheon. Messrs. Collins and Lut- 
ton were tied, with 2\\ games, which they played off, Mr. Collins coming out with 
flying colors. Mr. McCutcheon won 20^ out of a possible 25. 



PAUL MORPHY. 

We have the painful duty of announcing the death of Paul Morphy. We will 
not attempt to write a biographical sketch of this Chess master. His Chess life, 
his name, and his glorious achievements over the Chess board are well known all 
over the world. Requisecat in pace. 



FOREIGN NOTES.

— We notice in the last number of La Vie Moderne, that Mr. Rosenthal has 
ceased to be the editor of the Chess Department, and that Mr. Arnous de Rivifcre 
is his successor. We regret to see the retirement of the French master, and con- 
gratulate Mr. de Rivfere, wishing for him all the support that his predecessor 
undoubtedly had, and as much success. Mr. Rosenthal, we are informed, has 
taken charge of the Chess Column in the Paris Monde Ilustree. 

— The Chess Player s Chronicle closes, with No. 207, its seventh volume, and 
announces an increase in the size of the magazine, commencing with the first 
number of volume Eighth. This publication really deserves the support of all 
the chess-loving community, and we feel confident that their efforts will be 
crowned with success. Let all send their subscriptions to the Editors, No. 555 
Caledonian Road, London, N., England. 

— The Ladies' Tournament, held at Brighton, England, has ended in favor of 
Miss Parren, of Hurstmonceaux, that lady having won twelve out of fourteen 
games ; Mrs. Dunhill, of Brighton, taking the second prize. The full score of 
the tournament was as follows : 

Players. Won. Lost. 

Miss Parren 

Mrs. Dunhill 

Miss Comber

Mrs. Miller , 

Miss Wyett 

The tie between Miss Parren and Mrs. Dunhill was' played off, and resulted in 
a victory for the former. 

— Up to last accounts the score in the tournament of the Montreal Chess Club 
stood as follows :

— Our esteemed confrere, the Baltimore Sunday News, publishes the following 
letter, which we reproduce, as we find it of much interest, wishing at the same time 
that the originators of this useful enterprise may receive all the help and encourage- 
ment they deserve. The letter, which runs as follows, speaks for itself : 

"Minden, Westphalia, May, 1884. 
" Respected Editors : — The daily increasing number of Chess columns shows the 
necessity of compiling an alphabetical index of the Chess papers and columns, both 
of Germany and of foreign countries. The great necessity for this is very appa- 
rent. Not only for the editor of a Chess column and the composer of problems, 



150 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 

but for every Chess player it is of the greatest importance to become acquainted 
with the various Chess columns, and to learn the names of the editors, methods of 
issue (whether weekly, monthly, etc), and subscription price. 

" We propose, therefore, to publish such an index, knowing well how laborious 
and difficult it will be to obtain a complete collection, especially of foreign names* 
We, however, count upon your friendly co-operation, and respectfully request you 
to notice our undertaking in your valued publication. With the request that you 
will comply with our wish and promptly fill out and return the blank, we remain, 
very respectfully, 

Chess Editors of the Mindener Zeitung." 

— On Thursday, the fifth inst, the nuptials of Mr. T. B. Rowland and Miss F. 
F. Beechey were solemnized at Dublin, Ireland ; both parties are well known 
throughout the chess world, so we will content ourselves with wishing them an 
everlasting honeymoon. 

— The Kingston, Jamaica, Tri-Weekly Gleaner publishes the rules for the first 
International Tournament for two-move problems. We copy the following from 
our esteemed contemporary : 

The "Gleaner's" International Tournament, No. i, for Two-move 

Problems.

i st Prize, £$ — Presented by His Excellency Sir Henry Wylie Norman, K. C. 
B., C. I. E., Governor of Jamaica ; ad Prize, £$ — Presented by the Honorable 
Mr. Justice Ker ; 3d Prize, £2— Presented by Messrs. DeCordova & Co. 

Special Prizes. 

For the best Problem contributed by a Jamaican, not obtaining one of the 
regular prizes, jQi ; second ditto, a Pocket Chessboard and Men ; for the best 
" flight-square " problem ( 4< flight-square," /. e., liberty of the Black King), 10s. — 
Presented by Miss F. F. Beechey, Dublin, Ireland; Second ditto, 5s.— Presented 
by Mr. W. J. N. Brown, London ; for the best and most appropriate motto, 
Blands' Annual (Miss Beechey will kindly award this prize). 

Conditions. 

1. The tournament to be opened to the world. 

2. Competitors to enter from one to four original, unpublished problems, having 
the simple condition, " White to play, and mate in two moves." The position to be

6. Problems, etc., as specified above, to be addressed to A. F. Mackenzie, Kingston, 



Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 151 

Jamaica, W. I. Sealed envolopes are not necessary, and the judges will be supplied 
only with copies of the problems. 

Adjudication. 

Consulting the best interests of the large number of prominent composers whom 
we anticipate as competitors, we will ask the following eminent problematists to act 
in concert as judges: Messrs. H. J. C. Andrews, F. C. Collins, John A. Miles 
and W. Norwood Potter, of England ; Messrs. H. E. and J. Bettmann and C. E. 
Dennis, of the United States; and Herr J. Dobrusky, of Prague, Bohemia. The 
mode of adjudication we shall desire these gentlemen to adopt is as follows : 
Each, consulting if he so wish with all or any of his collaborators, to select the fifteen 
problems which he esteems the best, appraising each of the fifteen by the following 
scale : 

Beauty, 30 points ; Theme and Originality, 20 ; Difficulty, 20 ; Correctness,, 20 ; 
Variety, 10. Total, 100. 

From these appraisals the final award will be made, the problem receiving the 
highest total number of points standing first, and so on ; and ties, if any, will be 
returned to the judges for settlement. To decide the " flight-square " prizes, it 
will only be necessary to select the four best problems of that class. In the event 
of the general award failing to decide the prizes for Jamaica, proper measures 
will at once be taken for the decision in that branch. 

Solving Tournament. 

In connection with the above Problem Tournament a Solution Tourney will be 
held to test the competing problems, wherein the following prizes will be offered: 1st 
Prize — A handsome set of Staunton Chessmen or cash value j£i. 10s. ; 2d Prize — 
Chess books, etc., or cash to the value of jQi ; 3d Prize — Ditto, ditto, 10s. ; 4th 
Prize — Miles, Problems and Poems, value 5s. ; 5 th Prize — A Pocket Chess Board 
and men. To the solver finding the most " cooks," save the first prize winner, 5s. 
Presented by W. J. N. Brown, London ; to the solver making the best score who 
has never competed before, a Pocket Chess Board and men ; to the best solver in 
Ireland not a winner of a regular prize, a book value 3s. Presented by Miss F. F. 
Beechey, Dublin, Ireland. 

The Tourney will be commenced as soon as a sufficient number of problems is 
received to warrant an uninterrupted continuation, and with this object we shall 
esteem it a particular favor if intending competitors be good enough to forward 
their contributions as soon as they conveniently can. 



t^*AU communications and exchanges for the Brooklyn Chess Chronicle 
should be addressed to Messrs. J. B. & E. M. Munoz, 458 Henry Street, 
Brooklyn. 

— Problems sent to us for publication should invariably be accompanied by the 
author's full solutions, otherwise no notice will be taken of them.

(b) Taking Rook with Bishop would expose Black to

even more disastrous, and gives the ingenious problem 
composer an opportunity of finishing the game in short 
order.

has comparatively easy work before him. 

(d) Overlooking the decisive couf 17.. B to K Kt 5. 

(e) Having in view 25..R x B followed by 26..B to

(f) It is seldom so curious a position occurs in actual 
play. White can move neither B nor Kt without loss, 
while Black's King marches onward to administer the 
coup de grace.

(a) Threatening to win the Queen by Kt x B P, but 
the more natural-looking move of Q B x P is decidedly 
superior. 

(b) Giving Mr. Blackburne a chance for getting in 
"a little bit of Morphy." 

(c) If 18 Kt z P. Black mates in four moves. 

(d) These Knights make terrible havoc in the White 
King's forces, and are handled with deadly accuracy

(a) P to Q a is perhaps more attacking, and has this 
its favor, that it was almost invariably adopted by 

Morphy, in the present opening. 

(b) The Dr. must have tailed to take into account the 
possibility of this check when he captured pawn with 
pawn on move 14.

NOTES. 



(a) Thus far both parties have conducted the game 
with great care and judgment, but this capture, we 
think, is an error on Mr. Baird s part, inasmuch as it 
opens the K R file, and enables White to begin a 
troublesome attack on the Black King. 

(b) The commencement of a very fine combination. 

(c) Were Black now to take the Q B he would lose 
the Queen or be mated by 31 . . R to K R 5. 

(dfAll this is beautifully played by White ; if now 
3a . . Q x P the reply 33 . . R to R 8 ch wins easily. 

(e) Black struggles gallantly, but the opposing forces 
are too strong for him. 

(•) This game received the prize of $5 for the best 
played game of the tournament.

(b) This capture involves White in serious difficulty. 
He ought, we believe, to have castled at once. 

(c) Probably the best resource under the circum- 
stances. 



(d) Winning a piece, or the Queen for a Rook, as 
White may elect.

(a) The King's Knight's Gambit is preferable when

(o A futile attempt at getting up a counter attack. 

(d) K to Kt 2 is not so Immediately fatal, but there 
is no possible way of saving the game.

NOTES. 

(a) Black's game becomes cramped through this 
move of the Knight, which ought to have been pre- 
ceded by P to Q B 4. 

(b) White loses a pawn by this operation, but secures 
a fine attacking position. 

(c) P to K 4, we think, would have given Black a 
better chance of extricating himself. 

(d) All this is in excellent style, and the well-timed 
sacrifice of the exchange decides matters in White's 
favor.

NOTBS. 

(a) Nowadays this is considered mere loss of time. 

(b) B x Kt looks like the com* juste here. 

(c) By abandoning the Kt Black brings about a very 
complicated position, and the skill and ingenuity dis- 
played bv Mr. Falkbeer in the latter part of the game 
are worthy of all praise. 

(d) R to R 4 looks better. 

(e) A fatal error. Black cannot take the Kt at once 
without losing his Queen, but by his next unpretend- 
ing looking lfttle move he not only makes the sacrifice 
of the Queen possible, but actually comes out of the 
melee with a won game.

MONTHLY BUDGET. 

* — The tournament of the Philadelphia Chess Club drags on slowly. Up to last 
accounts the score stood as follows : Capt. Michaellis has won yi games and lost 
i J; Wilson won 8£ and lost 2^; Elson won 6 and lost 2; Newman won 4 and lost 
5; Miller won 4^ and lost 5^. 

— On the 3d of July, Dr. Zukertort contested 7 blindfold games at the Me- 
chanics' Library, winning 6 and losing 1. On the 8th he gave another blindfold 
exhibition, meeting 12 opponents simultaneously. The Doctor won 9 games, drew 
1 with Mr. Walstein, and lost 2 to Messrs. Welsh and Redding. 

Doctor Zukertort left San Francisco for China on the 26th of July. During 
the last week of his stay there he played 11 blindfold simultaneous games against 
Messrs. Krouse, Levy, Jacobi, Scammell, Gate, Reis, Helweigen, McCrea, Wil- 
hem, Richard and J. D. Condon, winning all of them. He also played a match of 
5 games with Mr. J. D. Redding, with the condition that Mr. Redding should 
have the move on every game and would play the Evans Gambit. The Doctor 
backed himself, giving his opponent the odds of 5 to 1. Mr. Redding lost all the 
games. 

— The annual local tournament of the New Orleans Chess, Checkers and Whist 
Club commenced on the 29th of July, with only 12 entrants. This small number, 
the Times-Democrat says, is attributed to the intense heat and the absence of a 
large number of the members on their summer vacations. The following are the 
names of the players: H. E. Barton, E. J. Blanchard, J. G. Bland, L. Claudel. F. 
Dameron, M. F. Factum, H. A. Milton, James D. Sdguin, J. P. Simpkins, C. F. 
Stagg, O. M. Jennison, and C. O. Wilcox. Though some good games have been 
played already, we have not yet seen any. In our next number we shall commence 
to publish those games that may be of interest. 

— The correct score of the games played between Mr. Max Judd and Mr. Zuker- 
tort is as follows : During the Doctor's first visit to St. Louis 6 games were 
played, which resulted in a victory for the visitor, who won 3, lost 1, and drew 2. 
Of the off hand games, 8 in all, the Doctor won 4, lost 3, and drew 1. During his 
second visit he played 5 games, winning 1, losing 2, and drawing 2. On the third 
visit 3 games were played, of which Zukertort lost 1 and drew 2. Grand total — 
Zukertort, 8; Judd, 5 ; drawn 7. 

One of our contemporaries, however, says that Mr. Judd has written a letter 
stating that he did not win any of the match games with Mr. Zukertort, 



162 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 

— It is rumored that several ladies in Philadelphia are trying to start a Ladies' 
Chess Club, and news comes from over the water that a similar chess club will also 
be started in Croydon, England. 

— The first prize in the last solvers' tournament of the Cincinnati Commercial 
Gazette was carried off by Miss Julia Eastman, of So\ith Hadley Falls, Mass. 
This talented young lady not only solved every problem, but pointed out all the 
flaws in them. 

— The funeral of Paul Morphy took place in New Orleans on the nth of 
July, at 5 P. M. One of the pall-bearers was Mr. Charles Maurian. The funeral 
was very private, only intimate friends of the family attending it. The remains 
were interred in the old St. Louis cemetery. 

— We publish in this number a very fine end game, played between Messrs H. 
Colborne and F. W. Womersley, in the Hastings tournament. We are indebted to 
the Southern Weekly I^ews for the position and moves, and we recommend its 
perusal to our readers as a beautiful and instructive position. 

— We have received very flattering letters in reference to the list of Chess papers 
published in our last number, for which we return thanks to the writers. We have, 
however, to make the following correction, viz: the Independent Forester is not 
published in Ottawa but in London, Ontario. 

— A new Chess club, with 20 members, has been organized at Waverly, Mary- 
land. At the meeting held last month the following gentlemen were elected 
officers: President, Dr. P. H. Reiche; Secretary, Rev. R. H. Gernand; Treasurer, 
James Batenan; Executive Committee, E. J. Coll, C G. Light and Thomas Chip- 
chase. 

— The " tramp " started by Mr. Stubbs, of St. John, N. B., came to our hands a 
few days ago, and after making the 21st move for Black, we sent it on its road 
again. We would have been glad to have an opportunity of making a move on 
White's side, for in our opinion Black must lose. 

— The New Orleans' Times-Democrat, of the 2 2d of July, publishes a lengthy 
article on the progress of the Chess, Checkers and W r hist Club of that city. The 
club was inaugurated on the 24th of July, 1880, with 52 members. On the 21st 
of October of same year the membership was no. On the 10th of January, 1881, 
it had 140 members, and on the 24th, 150. On February 10th the number 
reached 175. About the middle of 1883 the membership reached the extraordinary 
figure of 500; and at the present time the club hasa wonderful total of 1,050 mem- 
bers, just four years after its inauguration. The growth of this club, as our es* 
teemed confrere says, is really phenomenal. The present officers are : Hon. Chas. 
F. Buck, President; Judge Chas. G. Ofiden, First Vice-President; Dr. S. M. Bemiss, 
Second Vice-President ; A. T. Mather, Treasurer. Governing Committee — I. K. 
Small, C. B. Penrose, H. F. Warner, Lucien Lyons, Charles Janvier. Library 
Committee — James D. S^guin, Fred. G. Freret and Jas. L. McLean. 

— The semi-annual meeting election of the Thurlow (Pa.) Chess Club, so says 
our esteemed contemporary, the Baltimore News, resulted in the election of the 
following gentlemen : I). B. Fox, President; F. F. Reilly, Vice-President; C. E. 
Dennis, Secretary, and W. J. Dickson, Treasurer, 



Brooklyn Chess Chronicle, 163 

FOREIGN NOTES. 

— The Nuova Rivista degli Seaechi informs us that, on the 15th of June last, a 
reunion took place in the parlors of the Societa Zoofila Napoletana, with the 
object of taking some action on the proposition of Mr. Borsari, of holding a 
National Chess Tournament, during the coming National Exposition at Naples. 
More than fifty chess players were present, and after discussing the matter it was 
resolved to appoint a committee to devise the best plan for carrying out Mr. 
Borsari's ideas and present the rules and regulations they may see fit to adopt. 
Before the meeting adjourned Mr. Borsari was unanimously elected President, 
and Mr. E. Dworzak De Walden, Secretary. The following Committee was 
appointed : Messrs. Borsari, Delia Corte, De Rogates, Dworzak, Professor 
Marchese, Schiavoni, Turchiarulo and the Marquis Vastarini-Cresi. It is 
expected that the Committee will, in a short time, present the result of their 
labors. 

— The Dublin University Chess Club elected lately the following officers and 
Committee for 1884-5 : President, W. M. Hackett ; Secretary, G. B. Fairbrother; 
Treasurer, G. L. Johnston ; Committee, Messrs. W. M. Crook, Swift P. John- 
ston, C. A. Robinson, J. Dickie, M. Fahy, H. S. Tickell and D. Hyde. 

— The first general meeting of the recently amalgamated (so says the Irish 
Sportsman) Bradford and Exchange Chess Clubs, was held, a few days ago, for 
the purpose of electing officers. The following were the gentlemen elected : 
Alderman F. Priestman, Presidetit ; Messrs. O. North and Petty, Vice-Presidents ; 
W. H. Fawcett, Treasurer ; Hart wig Cassel, Secretary, and C. Ogden, Assistant 
Secretary. 

— The result of the grand handicap tournament of the Cercle des Echecs of 
Amiens, was as follows : The Count de Tanisier, 3d class, won the first prize, 
300 francs ; Mr. Chamier, 1st class, won the second, 200 francs, and the Count 
Bernard d'Harcourt, the third, 100 francs 

— Our esteemed correspondent from Caracas, Venezuela, informs us in a letter, 
which we are sorry not to publish for lack of space, that the proposed club, of 
which he spoke in his letter published in the Chess Chronicle Vol. II., No. 1, 
has not been established on account of the small number of chess players in the 
country, but, says our correspondent, the few players in the city meet once a week 
at each other's house. A match was recently played between Messrs. Diaz and 
Alvarado, which was won by the former with a score of 11 to 10. The match was 
of 21 games. Mr. Diaz is the strongest player in Caracas, and the result of his re- 
cent match with Mr. Alvarado shows that this young aspirant is coming soon to the 
first rank. 

— The correspondence match between the Chess Clubs of Amiens and Besangon 
has commenced ; two games will be played. 

— Signor Carlo Salvioli, of Venice, is fairly getting on with the publication of his 
work on the "Theory and Practice of Chess." As far as we can judge, it is the 
most comprehensive and complete work of its kind, and we warmly recommend it 
to our chess people as most useful both for learning and consultation. The theory 
of the openings is being treated with a perfect system and a thorough knowledge 



164 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle 

of the game in its present state of advancement. No Chess library should be 
without it. 

— The great winter handicap tournament of the City of London Chess Club, 
in which ioo members took part, has ended. The first prize was awarded to Mr. 
H. D. Woolley (6th class) ; 2d, Mr. J. Heppell, (3d class) ; 3d, Mr. G. A. Hooke 
(3d class) ; 4th, Mr. James Frankland (5th class) ; 5th, Mr. E. Hamburger (4th 
class) ; 6th and 7th tie, divided between Messrs. B. Hussey, (3d class), and E. A. 
Coombe (4th class) ; 8th, Mr. W. E. Vyse (2d class) ; 9th, Mr. G. H. Reekes 
(5th class) ; 10th, Mr. H. Lee (deceased). The prize of five guineas for the most 
brilliant game was awarded by Mr. Blackburne to Mr. Woon. 

It is a curious fact that none of the first-class players won any prize. This 
shows clearly, as we have said before, that it is not in handicap tournaments that 
the strength of the players can be tested. 

— The tournament of the Montreal City Chess Club has come to an end. The 
following is the total score : 

Players. Games Won. Games Lost. Players. Games Won. Games Lost.

The prizes were awarded as follows : first, J. G. Ascher, with 29 games won ; 
second, G. F. Wildman, with 25 games ; third, J. W. Shaw, with 24 games, and 
fourth, J. Wright, with 23. It is remarkable that Mr. Ascher lost no game as he 
won 29 and drew 2. 

— We quote from the Croydon Guardian the following items : " It is proposed to 
arrange a match between Messrs. Blackburne and Bird for a stake of ^25, and it 
is -said that there is every possibility of the negotiations being successfully com- 
pleted in the course of a few days. — In the Handicap Tourney at Simpson's Divan, 
London, Mr. Guest, of the second class, by defeating in succession Messrs. Black- 
burne and Mason, has won the first prize. — The annual meeting of the Counties 
Chess Association commenced on Monday, July 28, at the Guildhall, Bath. 
Messrs. Macdonnell and Bird take part. 

— Steps are being taken to form a Chess association in England. The Chess 
Players' Chronicle, of July 30, says on the subject : At a meeting held on Thurs- 
day, the 24th of July, at Simpson's Divan, Strand, some sixty or seventy repre- 
sentatives of the Chess world assembled, and, under the presidency of Mr. Hewitt, 
the founder of the Westminster Chess Club, they unanimously resolved that an 
association for the promotion of the study and practice of Chess in the British 
empire was needed, and further, that such an association be forthwith established 
under the title of the ** British Chess Association." 

If such a scheme is carried out we will then publish the draft rules that may 
be adopted. 



Brooklyn Chess Chronicle* 165 

— The first congress of the Scottish Chess Association commenced on the, 21st 
of July, at Glasgow, Scotland ; the first prize, it is said, will be a handsome cup 
valued at £2$. 

— The handicap tournament of the South Norwood Chess Club, which commenced 
nearly a year ago, has just terminated. Twenty-one players entered the list, each 
competitor playing one game with each other ; but if the first game resulted in a 
draw then a second game had to be played, the latter being decisive. The players 
were divided in 4 classes, giving and receiving the usual odds. The following is 
the final result :

Messrs. Beyfus, Jones and Burgess came next to the last prize winner, with a

— Two correspondence games, started on December 13, 1883, between Glasgow 
and Edinburgh, were finished on the 19th of June, both being won by Glasgow. 

— The British Chess Magazine announces in their July number that the August 
and September numbers will be published about the 15th of August under one 
cover. 

— The prizes offered by the London Chess Monthly for their solution tourney, 
which distribution will take place simultaneously with the final award in the 
problem tournament, is as follows : 

1st prize, Alexandre's 2,000 problems, valued at £1 5 s. o d.

The order of merit to be decided by the number of points gained, which are as 
follows : 

One point for a complete solution of a two-mover. 
Two points " *' " three-mover. 

Three " " " " four-mover. 

— The subscriptions for the national testimony to the English champion, Mr. 
J. H. Blackburne, amounts already to ^149 9 s. od., and the prospects are that it 
will shortly reach a much higher figure ; and according to the Chess Monthly sev- 
eral influential friends of Mr. Bird are endeavoring to present him with a testi- 
monial in the shape of a purse, as a mark of recognition of the valuable services 
he has rendered to the cause of Chess for a period of nearly forty years. Both 
gentlemen have our best wishes for the success of the undertaking.

END GAME. 

A somewhat remarkable ending occurred in the Hastings Tournament between 
Mr. F. W. Womersley and Mr. H. Colborne. Below is the position after White's 
7 2d move : 

Black — Womersley. 




v<. <4 ft 1 '■ ? 



White — Colborne. 

At this point the lookers-on all thought it was a drawn game, but Mr. Womersley, 
with much more comprehensive vision, much to their surprise, announced a forced 
win. The modus operandi is very instructive and not a little curious. The double 
march of the King gives the opportunity first of exchanging the Pawn for a Bish- 
op, and then of gaining three Pawns for a Bishop. As an end-game study, it 
will be found of considerable interest and value.

NOTES. 



(a) We prefer 4 . . Kt x K P. 

(b) A departure from the beaten track, but not one to 
be commended. 

(c) Preparing to push things should Black venture to 
castle on the Queen's side. 

(d) Considering the cramped nature of Black's posi- 
tion the sacrifice of the exchange appears to be the 
most forcible method of carrying on trie attack. 

(e) This very pretty coup leads to an interesting 
wind-up. 

(f) If *8. .K x B White mates in two moves. 

(g) The only move to prolong the game. 



Game No. 208.

NOTES. 



(*) In this particular form of the pawn and move 
opening Black gives up a second pawn for the purpose 
of securing a rapid development. 

(b) Q to Q R 4 is more commonly played. 

(c) Better to have taken the K P, though the line of 
play adopted, if properly followed up, is quite sufficient 
to win. 

(d) A fatal error* by first playing 14.. P to K B -3 
every thing would have been made safe, and Blactc 
must have lost a piece, for the unfortunate Kt at Q 5 
has no place of retreat.

NOTES. 

(a) The object of this is to provoke the advance of 
White's K P, afterwards breaking up his centre by P 
to K B 3 

(b) Castling with K R looks the natural continuation, 
but doubtless Mr. Mason had good reasons for prefer- 
ring the text move. 

(c) An ingenious sacrifice, bringing the Queen into 
play on the King's side. 

(d) We should rather have taken with the Bishop. 

(e) A blunder, which loses off-hand.

NOTES. 

(a) The usual and better move here is 7..P to Q B 3. 

(b) Rather tame for the giver of the gambit ; 10. .P to 
K Kt 3 looks more to the purpose. 

(c) Very well played. White is almost compelled to 
take en passant \ and Black thereby succeeds in bring- 
ing his Queen's pieces into immediate action. 

(d) It is evident that Wnite cannot capture the Kt 
without losing off-hand by 33..Q to Kt 6 ch. 

(e) Again neither Rook nor Bishop dare capture the 

Kt. 

(0 Mr. Ware might now have administered a pretty 
little mate in three moves; how, we leave our readers 
to discover.

Drawn game. 

NOTES. 

(a) An attack much in favor at the Berlin and Vienna 
International Tournaments of x88i and 1883, but which 
was almost wholly abandoned at the London Tourney 
of lastyear. 

(b) The reasons for his not taking the Kt are suffi- 
ciently obvious. 

(c) Premature; 26.. K to Q 2 would give Black a 
slight advantage in position ; the Rook move threatens 
27..B x Kt P ch, but Mr. Winawer is not very likely to 
fall Into such a shallow trap. 

(d) If R to Kt 7 Black would win by R to Q R and 
K to B. 

(e) If 42..K to Kt 3 then 44.. B to K 3 mate!

NOTES. 



(a) Mr. Bird's favorite defence to the Ruy Lopez. 

(b) Better, we believe, 6. . P to Q 3. 

(c) If B checks, King goes to KB square. 

(d) P to Q R 3 would give the B a better chance of 
getting into play. 

(e) It this Rook can be, as a rule, brought so readily 
into the fray, as it is in the present game, then Mr. Bird s 
defence is deserving of far more attention than it has 
hitherto received at the hands of the analysts. 

(f) With this advance Black acquires a decided ad- 
vantage in position, which he skilfully maintains to the 
victorious finish. 

(g) Very good indeed ; should King take Pawn, Black 
checks at K R 3 with Queen, winning the Kt. 

(h) An elegant finish.

NOTES. 

(a) The Rook is better placed at K square. 

(b) Black manages the opening in an onginal fashion, 
but it does not turn out to his advantage. 

(c) Good enough if White were to take it, but as he 
does not, of very little avail. 

(d) A very beautiful stroke of play, leading to one of 
the most curious mating positions that we nave ever 
seen in actual play. 

(e) On examination, it will be found that Black has 
no possible means of saving the game.

NOTES. 

(a) Rather a tame continuation; 3..P to Q 4 is the 
proper play. 

(b) An insidious move, evidently made in the antici- 
pation that White is about to castle on the Queen's side. 

(c) Winning a piece, even if White should see and 
avoid the mate with which he is menaced.

NOTES. 

(a) 5. .P x P is given in the books, but the capture of 
pawn with Kt appears to be equally good. 

(b) The beginning of an attack, carried out with that 
vigor and brilliancy, characteristic of Prof. Andersscn's 
style. 

(c) This leaves the position of the White King la- 
mentably weak, but i^. . B to B 3— apparently the only- 
other move— has also its serious drawbacks. 

(d) A quiet looking to«/, but, nevertheless, a very 
important one, in the Professor's combination. 

(e) Now the object of Black's 16th move becomes 
apparent.

NOTES. 



(a) Mr. Bryan, of New York, was, we believe, the 
inventor of this defence ; it is now but rarely played, 
though almost invariably leading to a lively and interes- 
ting game. 

(b) Sacrificing a Rook, but having as compensation 
the inviting prospect of a tremendous attack on the 
White King. 

(c) Preventing la B to Kt 5 ch, etc. 

(d) Mr. Kieseritzki had many "gems'* of a similar 
character at this opening with Mr. Schulten and other 
strong players. In attempting it against Professor 
Anderssen, however, he was defeated in such brilliant 
style, that the /<ir//V in question is now known to the 
Chess-playing fraternity as the kl Immortal Game."

Indocti discant et ament meminisse periti. 



Vol. II. BROOKLYN, N. Y., SEPTEMBER 15, 1884. No. 12. 



With this number ends Volume II. of the CHRONICLE. 

Adhering firmly to our programme, and encouraged by the unequivocal 
approval of our American and foreign friends, we will follow our onward 
march, relying on the continuance of their support, which both in the 
amount of subscriptions and contributions of papers, games, problems, etc., 
has been liberal, and claims our best thanks. Having thus far materially 
contributed to our brilliant succe^, their continued patronage is respectfully 
and confidently requested. Our success is theirs. 

For the subscription to Volume III. we beg to remind our friends of the 
expediency of an early remittance, showing their wish to have their names 
kept in our list. 

MONTHLY BUDGET. 

— The St Louis Chess, Checkers and Whist Club is to have a handicap tourna- 
ment, to commence this month. It is rumored that Mr. Max Judd, who has not 
been a member for some time,- has signified his intention of joining the Club again ; 
and in that case he may probably take part in the tournament. With him and 
Mr. Mohle as participants we may expect some very interesting games. 

— A new Chess Club has been organized in Vicksburgh, Va. ; the membership 
is said to be between twenty and thirty. The prospects of the new organization 
are said to be very good We wish it may live long and prosper. 

— The following is the score up to the present time of the Fifih Annual Tour- 
nament of the New Orleans Chess, Checkers and Whist Club :

— Following the reports from the newspapers, we stated in our last number that 
Dr. Zukertort had sailed from San Francisco for China. Later advices stated that 



178 



Brooklyn Chess Chronicle, 



on account of the illness of his partner, Mr. Hoffer, he had to return to England. 
Be this the reason or not, the Doctor made' his appearance in New York a few 
days ago and sailed for England on the 3d inst. by the " Oregon." On his return 
trip from San Francisco he stopped at several of the large cities in the West. In 
Toledo, Ohio, he played on the 15th of August 8 simultaneous blindfold games, 
winning all of them. On the 19th, he played in Cleveland 7 simultaneous games 
against some of the strongest players in the city. The Cleveland Herald, from 
which columns we take this report, does not state the result, but Dr. Zukertort in- 
formed us that he won 5 and lost 2. He also played a few off-hand games, giving 
the odds of Knight and winning the majority of them. Before leaving San Fran- 
cisco he played twelve games with Mr. Fritz Peipers. Six games even and six 
at the odds of a Knight. The result was that of the even games the Doctor won 
4 and Mr. Peipers 1 ; of the odd ones Mr. Peipers won 5 and lost 1. In New 
York he played on Tuesday evening, the 26th of August, 6 simultaneous blindfold 
games at the Harmonie Club, winning all of them. 

— We are pleased to see the reappearance of the Chess Column in the Turf, 
Field and Farm. May it have no more interruptions. 

— We take from the Mirror of American Sports the following moves of a circu- 
lating game started by the Chess editor, Mr. K. D. Peterson :

FOREIGN NOTES. 

— The Sheffield Independent says that Prince Mahomed Achmed, of Constantino- 
ple, has ordered the publication of a Chess column in the newspaper Tcrdjumani 
Hakikat 



Brooklyn Chess Chronicle. 179 

The same esteemed confrere publishes the following announcement of a Two- 
Move Solution Tourney. We publish it in full, so that our readers may have an 
opportunity of preparing themselves to compete, as the prizes offered are very 
valuable : 

Our Two- Move Solum ion Tourney, and Silver Challenge Cup Contest. 

We propose commencing our Solution Tourney early in September next, and 
hope to be able to continue it on through the winter months. The problems to 
be solved will be all the direct mate two-movers we have on hand, and any of the 
same class we may be favored with during the contest, of which we will not give 
more than two each week. Among the prizes we will offer are 

A Silver Challenge Cup. 

A handsome photographic album of chess players. The amount of entrance 
fees, a set of chessmen, a prize for ladies, and one for beginners, particulars of 
which we will give next week. 

rules. 

i. Two points will be given for discovering the key-move of a sound problem, 
and one point for each subsequent variation, the number of variations being deter- 
mined by the different line of play White is forced to adopt on his second move. 

2. One point will be allowed for each dual discovered in any sound problem. 

3. A competitor proving a problem to be unnatural (/. *., one that could not 
occur in actual play) will receive two points. 

4. A competitor proving a problem to be unsolvable will receive two points. 

5. A solver proving a possible position to contain more than one solution will 
receive two points. 

The above rules, originally drawn out by Mr. F. C. Collins, regulated our pre- 
vious Solution Tourney and gave general satisfaction. 

6. In the event of ties, the competitors bracketed must again contest in a short

— The August and September numbers of the British Chess Magazine came 
promptly to hand, and as usual replete of interesting matter. 

— In our last number we stated, taking the news from the Croydon Guardian, 
that Mr. Mason lost to Mr. Guest in playing off the tie for first and second prizes 
in the Simpson's Divan Handicap Tournament. We saw afterwards the news 
confirmed in the August and September number of the British Chess Magazine. 
It turns out, however, that both reports were erroneous, as it was Mr. Mason who 
defeated Mr. Guest. The London Field publishes the deciding game and says : 



180 Brooklyn Chess Chronicle.

MORPHY AND STEINITZ. 
A Parallel. 

The brightest luminaries the Chess world has revealed. Born almost in the same 
year — one at New Orleans and the other at Prague — Morphy's star had set in the 
night of life, when that of Steinitz was just glimmering on the verge of the 
horizon. 

One was a child of the sunny South —instinct with its fire and inventive genius, 
which were singularly allied with the most wonderful depth of thought ; the other, 
born in a northern region of a race whose reflective faculties attain the most 
powerful development, is yet gifted with uncommon mental acumen. One was a 
nervous, delicate organization ; the other has a far less impassioned nature, but an 
iron like constitution. One is dead ; the other survives in the maturity of his 
powers. ■ 

Morphy learned the moves at eleven and beat the world at twenty-one. He 

44 Walked up to fame as to a friend." 

Steinitz fought his way by the sheer force of ability to his present eminence ; 
and his ascent resembles in its features the rise of Fox, of whom Burke said, " He 
rose by slow degrees to be the most accomplished debater the world ever saw." 
Morphy is the phenomenon of the ages ; Steinitz is a combination of genius and 
endless endeavor. One was a meteor that flashed across the mental sky ; the 
other is a luminary whose radiance is undimmed after the lapse of nearly a quarter 
of a century. Morphy was doubtless the greatest player who ever lived ; 
Steinitz is the foremost Chess analyst of this or any other time, and is the only 
master who might have imperiled the majesty of Morphy. Neither sought to 
nurse his reputation. Morphy crossed a continent to challenge and defeat all 
comers ; Steinitz fears no knight beneath the sun. Morphy overthrew with hardly 
a struggle all the European potentates of his generation ; Steinitz has dethroned 
those who reascended, or who have risen since that revolution. Morphy never 
lost a match ; Steinitz, during a long and eventful Chess career, has never been 
defeated in a solitary one. Morphy participated in a single tournament only and 
won the first prize ; Steinitz has engaged in many and won the first prize in six 
of them and tied for first prize in a seventh. 

Morphy's noblest emanation was the Four Knights' game against Paulsen. It is 
of such remarkable depth and beauty that it ranks among the " immortals." The 
blindfold game against Baucher is a masterpiece of brilliancy and originality.
