PREFACE. 



In completing the first volome of the Ohbsb Platbr» we 

heartily thank our subscribers and contiibutors for the 
kind sapport by whidi we aie enabled to promote OheoSf 
and. exhibit its beauties iu the pages of our periodical — 
a pnblioatioii which is intended to be a record of ^' invent 
tions and discoveries" relating to the noble game, and to / 
aflbrd to each amateur of the ^putii Bcience a medinm of 
intercommunieation for their mutual improvement and 
recreation. 

That such are the requirements of the Ohess-world at 
the present period we have abnndant testimony from the 
steadily-increaging sale of the work^ and from the nu- 
meroos correspondents which onr exertions have called 
forth, many of whose suggestiona are tar too valuable for 
ns to n^lect We did hope for advice and co-operation ; 
but we .were not prepared for the kindness and sym- 
pathetic good-will with which such hints have invariably 
been accompanied, and which deserve and receive onr 
gratitnde, and stimulate us to fresh exertions in our 
labour of love.

A word with those fnendfi who have forwarded their 

views of improvemeut to us in the conduct of the work. 
The majority suggest^ as one of ite main features^ critical 
analyses of the openings of games; others, copious 
notes and remarks on the games, showing the dif- 
ferent variations likely to occur at the different sta i^es. 
The jnmors desire the best method of opening and de- 
fending games where .odds are given ; and already we 
are called upon to express our opinion of several systems of 
Chess notation, given as improvements upon Kieseritzky 's, 
and the one in general nse. It would be snperfluons to 
remark to the practical chess-player the Herculean nature 
of the tasks here imposed npon ns. That these subjects 
are within the just scope of the work we readily admit 
We (diall exert onrsdves to th« utmost in these I^itimafo 
provinces of the game ; but we must depend upoi^ the 
assistsnee of onr correspondents. The vast regions of 

Ohess are before us ; we might almost v enture to say that 

* 

it is incumbent upon all to aid in exploring thenu In 
combination we must seek the golden treasure; and our 
little book will, we trust, be the guide to lead us through 
the mazes of uncertainty. Already one kind contributor 
has anticipated onr views, and sent us an elaborate and 
praiseworthy analyds of the Evans' gambit^ which we 
shall insert in an early number, and of which we shall 
treat in the second volume, and therein give our own 
views, as well as those of our fellow -labourers who may 
be disposed to send us their criticisms. In conclusion, it 
gives us great satisfaction to find that the laboius we have

bestowed on the Chess Studies have been so fully appre- 
ciated by our readeis^ whose opinionB coincide with onrs 
as to tlieii' imporUucc to the scientific amateur, and for 
that reason they hold a prominent place in each number. 
For the Problems and Games we are much obliged to 
those gentlemen whose names are attached 

Wishing all our friends a merry Christmaa and a 
happy new year, and with every o6nfidence for the sue*

White having the move can only draw. 



Black has only the Q. Kts. second with his King to play to, 
in order to win ; if he had an additional Pawn on that square, 
the game must be drawn. 

If the Rook which now stands on K. Kt. second stood on K. 
Kt. third square, Black could only win by playing the King to 
Q. Kts. third ; and if the Rook stands on any other square in the 
K. Kts. file, the Kin^ must take the panUlel square on the Q.

The Chess Tournament has broaght a number of great 
players to this .country, and been productive of some spirited 
contests. Prominent nmnugst these stands the nntch between 
Messrs. Andersben and Staunton, the latter of whom was de- 
feated ; but it would be wronf^ on that account to think less 
highly oi" Mr. Staunton as a chcss-phiyer. 

It is much to be regretted that the first number of matches 
were limited to three games, as that number is insufficient to 
test the relative strength of players. We fear that official duties 
will prevent the great F^rnssian chess-player, Heydebrand, from 
coming to this country* 

The next event to which we look forward with considerable 
interest is the eonsnltatioD match for £100 between the German 
and English players who have hitherto taken part in the touma-

mcDt. We anticipate some splendid games from this rencovntpr, 
but we also hope that the players now assembled in London will 
not sepavate without playing another scries of marches in which 
tbe antagonists will meet from mutual choice, and not in conse- 
quence of the decrees of the blind p^oddess. 

The editors beg to draw the reader's attention to the Chess 
Studies which appear in this number as tlic first of a scries by 
which they desire still further to develope the plan they adopted 
in their work on End Games ; viz., they intend to point out a 
number of interesting &ct8 which are likely to happen in actual 
play, and a knowledge of which must be advantageous in itself, 
and have the farther effiact of impressing oik the reader's mind 
Ae impoftance of position, the relative strength and power of 
pieces at certain points of the game, and of acquainting him 
practically with the principles which govern chess.

Bishop takes Rook and receives three pieces for the Queen, 

{b) After having missed the opportunityi this was ahout the 
best move. 

(c) This is preferable to forking Queen and Bishop. 
\d) Checking with Queen on K. R. fifths would have been

Messrs. Seen and Kieseritky have taken their departure for 
the continent. The conaiiltation match, which we aDticipated 
In our last* was to be played between the Germaa and English 
playersy who have taken part in the tournament^ will not come 
off; there is, however, some money left in the hands of the 
Committee of the St. George's Club, which is to he disposed o€ 
in prizes for some matched, aho it tn ])e played. 

"Mr. Staunton challenged Mr. Anderssen to play him a match 
of twenty-one game* for 100/. Mr. Ancler«-oti accepted the 
cballeiigc, on coiitlii iuu that the match oiiiiueiice shortly in- 
stead of the time named by Mr, Staunton, that no less than 
five games be played weekly^ and that any one absenting him* 
self during auy day fixed for the contest shall be considered to 
have lost one game. A» Mr. Staunton complains of indis-

not like>y that he will agree to these conditions; on the other 
hand, Mr. Anderspcri is not likely to yield, because he is not at 
home in Eugland ; his stay here is expensive, and his pro- 
fes<^ional duties in Prussia render it absolutely necessary for 
him to be in Breslau before October. 

in our next we shall analyze the criticism of Heydebrand on 
the va»*iation9 of the Mucio Gambit, as given in our Book on 
£nd Games; and we are liappy to say we shall be able to prove 
this truly great plaver and analyzer to be for once somewhat 
at fault.

nature. 

POSITION FIRST.

In these two positions^ Black even with the move cannot 
win, and, by way of exercise, we leave the solutions to the

White wins. 



The match at the St. George's Chess Club between Mr. Horwitz 
and Mr. Bird stands thus : — Mr. Ilorwitz has won three games, 
and Mr. Bird two, and there has been three drawn games. Mr. 
Bird is quite a young player, and, we may justly say, possesses all 
the qualities of a first-rate player. No doubt we shall have an 
opportunity of giving some specimens of his play in our columns. 
Another match between Mr. Loeweathal and Mr. Ilorwitz will be 
shortly played at the above Chess Club.

ciple to the London Tournament ; each player ^vill play with

Chess in German v. — A match of great interest is spoken of 
as likely to take place between Mr. Anderssen, who bore off the 
first prize in the London Tournament, and Herr Yon Hey de-

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
All communicatioui duHild be addnMiod to tii0 Editora of the Cmas 
Platbs, 19. Strand. 
C T^The player with the Knight wins easily, and in Tariooi ways. 

Henry Tukton. — We approve of your cnij^nas; they are very neat and 
clean in oonstructioUf and we shall be happy to receive some more of your 
productions. Tlio one with tlie three Rooks requires a Blade Bidiop at K. 
R. square. 

C. T. Atkins.— Your problems in three and four moves, with ti-irting alter- 
ations, will do ; but the unc in five moves is not sound, as Queen to Queen's 
Bi8h()i)'s eighth (cheek) will frustrate your original idea. Tlie proUems 
first mentioned are original ; in your next, try with fewer pieces. 

M. P.— A common complaint with chees-players— when mey lose, it is gene* 
rally owing to their bcin^ in ill-health. 

Auxuoa.— It does not always Jbllow that those who have written many 
works on chess have also been original and instructive. 

Simple— We often prefer an incorrect position to a correct hut insipniiticant 
one, as the tbnner may witli a little alteration be made useful, whilst tlie 
latter may be worthless. 

Curious.— We are of opinion that a Pawn, when reaching his eij^hth's 
square, is entitled to become any piece the player thinks best ; and, naturally 
enough, if it prove disadvantageous to become a piece, it may still remain a 
Pawn. (See Diagram 19.) This question among others, we thought^ diouUL 
have been discussed at the Tournament. 

X. P. — There is no merit in taking more time than is requisite, and, after 
all, an inferior move is generally the result ; but to take the proper time is 
necessary to play weD. 

B« A.— Laboordonnais was ool so great an anfhor as he wasa ciuas-pli^,

Blacky with the move, can draw the gome. 



Tlie solution of No. 19 is Pawn takes Rook, remaining a 
Pawn. It may seem ridiculous to many chess-players, but we 
think candidly that, when first the rules were laid down, nobody 
thought of such a case, or else the rules would be a little more 
precise on that point.

There was no conlbrence held at Hie Tournament n& proposed, when a revi> 
sion of the laws, notation, and other Important subjects were to be tliscussod 
and decided. The abt>euce of Von Heydebrand, «faenisch. and other chess

of the conferencf not being held. 

Wise.— The Mr. Walker you speak of, Mr. Greenwood Walker, the autiior 
of so manv useful chess works, is Mr. George Walker. 

M. S.— We think Pil was the ancient Bishop, not the Castle. 

F. Rochester.— Chulam Cassirn has gxxen a complete analysis of th.9 
Mucio gambit. We consider castling a better move than Queen's' Pawn tiro» 
which Chulam Cassim thought irresistible.

It win be seen that each rank begins with 1, and ends with 8; 
and, in writing down games, no names of pieces need be given. 
All that IB necessary is to state the namber of the square from 
which a piece starts, and the nnmber of the sqoare to which it 
moves} thus, Queen to King's Book's fifth would be 14 to ^8. 
For giving positions, it would be necessary to name the piece, 
and the number of the sqnare on which it stands; we give an 
old position as an example: —

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 

All communications should be addressed to the Editors of the Ceesb 
pLATSft, 19» Strand. 

We give the foUowinfj letter entire, and we shall be happy to have ttw 
opinions of other subscribers on the mteresting suttjects intended to be dis- 
cusaed at the Conference:— 

Hereford, Sept. 20th, 1851. 

To the Editors of the CeiSS PLATE]i.--GentIemen,— Allow me to expms 

my pleasure and thanks at vour recent publication, the Chess Playeb. It 
has rejoiced me to see the glorious game find a comer of late iu several cheap 
periodicals, thus more >videly extending the wholesome delight derived from 
a knowledge ot" cliess ; but to find a weekly serial, at thelow price of 2d., 
devoted wholly to chess, is a triumph for Caissa that I expected would tiike 
many years yet to realise. I trust, gentlemen, you will find, by the support 
giTeu you, that this publication is not before its time. I believe it will succeed* 
for I am sure all chess-players must feel bound to assist a work so well cal- 
culated to promote their own improrement, and the spread ot chess. 

I think too much praise cannot be bestowed on jour admirable dedgn of 
* Chess Studies," as they set forth so fully the science of the game. Ithink 
the profit fix)m their perusal more than compensates for tiie want of iho6» 
accurate conditions respecting their solution which are usually giTen fidth 

tlie positions called problems. 

Can you inform me, gentlemen, whether the chess-players, lately met in 
London, held anything in the shape of a Conference for the revision of the 
]aw8inotBtion,4Ec.»of ohesst I befieve something of the sort was piopoMd. 

With every wish and elfort Ibr the succe.«s and wide eIrciilAtioii of flie 
Casss PLATBBy 1 am, gentlemen, 

Your obedient servant, 
Messrs. Kling and Homitz. Bjsta.

On Thursday, the 9th instant, a large muster of the votaries of 
Oaissa took place at the town of Caistor, in Lincolnshire, for the 
purpose of rorming a chess clnb in that town; npwards of fifty 
assembled, and amongst the company were Mr. Newham of 
Nottingham, who ahly presided, Mr. Staouton of London, and 
Herr Loewenthal. An excellent dinner at the principal inn in 
the town, served in first-rate style in a nohle room, tastefully de- 
corated for the occasion, commenced the business of the day; 
and after v;inous complimentary toasts arul spoerlies, the chess 
play began, whicli was kept up witli great spirit till an early, or 
rather a late hour in the following mornii L:. The meeting in 
the course of the evening was graced wiiii the presence of a 
niuaber of fair chess-players, whose skill in the noble game was 
gallantly ackiiowledged by Herr Loewenthal and others. From 
Its promising commencement, we augur well of the Caistor 
Chess Clnb» which has onr best wishes for its permanence and 
prosperity. 

Tbb Cbusadeb CBBSSMSir AXD Table.— We perceiye by the 
papers that this choice and beautifnl specimen of art has been 
wild for 500 guineas. 

In a recent visit to the EaLhibition, we were much gratified at 

•seeing a simple but ingenious chess-board and men for the use 
of the blind, the inventioTi of Mr. Wood. The white squares are 
sunk, which enables the player? to distinfriTish them from the 
black, whilst the different coloured men are known by the heads 
of the white beinq: round and smooth, and those of the black 
being pointed. Each man has a peg at its base, which fits a hole 
in the centre of the square, thus preventing any derangement of 
the pieces daring the game. 

From a letter just teceived from Berlin we hear that Messrs. 
Staunton and Kieseritzky are expected there shortly; the former 
to play his match with Mr. .^iderssen, the laitter to test the 
strength of the Berlin players. 

The match between Messrs. Loew^thal and WiUiama stands 
thusr^^fr. L., six; Mr. W., four; and two drawn games. 

The match between Mr. Ix)ewe and Mr. Deaoon stands thus^ 
-^Mr. D., three; Mr. L., none; and one drawn game.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 

All communications should be addressed to the Editors of the CHESi 
Player, li), Strand. 

CuEss-PLATEB.— The extraordinary stratagem on the cover of the October 
part of the Chbss Plater was tlie invtntion of the printer, and appeared 
without the Editors* knowledge. 

PuMCBiMSLLO AMD J UDT.— Each of these talented individaals has favoured 
us ifdth two fine problenu, two of wfaidi are inserted in our pi'esent number ; 
the others shall appear shortly. 

Mx. K.XIMOM.— We like the idea of jour problem* but itcan be done in four 
movw as ft It now arranged. 

R. P.— It is very difficult to decide whether two Rooks and a Bishop win 
against two Rookb: in practice we liave found they frequently wiu. as oj ex- 
«banging one Rook IkvoaraUj a winning poritfin te oftoi obtuned. W« 
ihall ^ive illustrations shortly.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 

All coinmunicatious should be addressed to tlie Editors of the Chess 
Plater, 19, Strand. 

Mb. Jutz.— Thanks for the games and problems, especially for the four 
games played at the Dundee Chess Club ; the style of play is atlniirable.

** La R^gence^' for July and Angust has |ust been received. In the Auguft 
number we are accused of takinjj a position ft*om '* La Il^gence,*' and givint; 
it as an original »tudjr. Not havmsr the number for September, 1850. atliaod, 
we are unable to compare the poefUone : but we think It likely our friend bae 
not caretuUy looked at the two positions, and has hastily concluded tliem to 
be alike when they may be essentially ditterent. The making a Knight is 
certainly not an original idea : and^should it happen ttiat both podttont are 
attket we can only assure our friend it is one of tnose remarkablercoincidenoei 
wMch occasionally happen, as we had uever seen the position referred to. 

Bbidport's and Jdtz 8 letters on notation have l>een reocifed. We wait 
for others, when we shall give fair extracts for and again^.

lew words now; and as your *»Tperietice must ^ve you jrri^nter opportunitiee 
than I can possibly have tor judging on the subject, 1 make these ixmarks 
moTB in the way of inquiry than of assertion. I dont iltopetht i kutm ^vliat

It seems to me unreasonable that the language of the game ahaidd be faide- 

pendent of the game itself, as is crory nrbitrary notritinn. Our manner of de- 
noting the squares of the boanl and the moves of the men involves a good 
deal of the game — the names oi the pieces, aiid tlieir aiTan^ement tn battle 
order, &.c.\ and this greatly facilitates the iearuiug and use of our chess 
language. If ]i«adQ.toK.B.third,ftoiifibKrwl|]itl)aflgareof the 
my hand diredly rests upon iti andmy^ye condncta It inamomentto th« 
Ale upon which I placed the King's Bishop at first, and I have to calculate 
merely the third square on that file; and I must be Itetter noquainfrrl vrith 
tins file, as the King's Bishop's, than I could ever be witli the same tile a? the 
sixth file from the left hand side of the bonrd. N<>\v g^ive me the same nu ^ e, 
14 to 36 ; and, brief und neat as it ma> appeal-, I Ixave twice to compute tlie 

hoard in its length and breadth. With practioe» I rarely may do this ra- 
pidly; hatdoitlmnithefbre I can aeoerU^ tite mofe» and do it* too, at 
every move tfanmg^ the game. The luitem gifee me no occasional relief aH 
I obtain at present in such cases as K. moves, Castles, R. takes Kt., &c. — 
operations which, knowing: the state of the game, the mind performs almost 
betore tiie eye reaches the board ; and suroly space saved in writing or print- 
ing it not to be gahned at the expense of mental time and labonr. 

Bnt the greatrat difBculty dOM not lie in recording and perusing tlie game . 

In the case of consultation matches ; blindfold play ; each player sitting at 
a board of Us own; indeed^ any case hi which the moTesreqtdre to be called 
out, or otlierwlsesimUarly signified by one party to the other; what Is to lie 
dona in stacii case ? Of oourse^ in an equal game, one party will not reckon 

forward, and the other be compelled to reckon back>>-ard ; but cnr!i player 
will reckon from bis own left hand corner. So, tlien, e>cry square mustnow 
have two distinct double numbers ; thus, wliat would be White's 48 would 
be Black*s 51> I fear Mr. Harrwitz himself would be maml here. At pi-e- 
senty WhiM K« R. fourth Is Blast's K. R, fifth. This is anomalons, and 
appears to have been altered, for the sake of brevity, flrom the more correct 
method of describing Black's K. R. fifth as *'ndvci-?e K. R. fourth;'' but, 
Mith the alteration , it is still King's Rook's file to both playen^ the di£foreace 
being only in the single numbers. 

I humbly submit these points, and, begging pardon for the length of my 
euuiniumcatiou, I am, Gentlemen, 

Your ol)edieut servant

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 

All communifations should be addressed to the Editors of the Cuss 
PLATEB, 19. Stratid. 

N. K.— The position ygu mention iBnot fit §or a dtess stu^y ; it xequires 

Bimplioity to analyse. 

G. H.— The ^jainc s in tlio " Chess Players' Cliroiiicle'' played by JadjahoW 
quite as much ialent tor play as for making problems. 

P. P.— You find an example in the Book of End Games by Kling and 
Honvitz; but it would bt^ important and useful to you to analyse those kind 
of poAitions without seeing the solutions, and coiupare yours with the origiual. 

C. Knoi.1L.'— The ilinlt^s you find hi the Chios Platbe do not exist. Look 
again, and you will t>nd you are wrontr. We shottid like to know what 
cuess work is without faults and oveirsights. 

A. T.>-The matches with the French chess-p'ayera wffldiortly cone oll& 
We understand Mr. Buckle's state of health prevents liis taking pai*t. 

W« A.— We are always happy to answer queries not already decided by the 
Laws of Chess; your inquiry is fuUv answered by Law lU. 

J. J.— It is not a drnun game ; liluck, with good play, can win. 

W. U.— W e are highly gratiticd that our labours meet with your approba- 
tion; the only tkvour we ask ia, that yon will introdiioetlieCHMtPi.Ainlo

I.BTTBR8 TO THB EDITORS ON NOTATION^No. IL 

Nov^ 1851. 

Genflcmen^^Hariiig bestowed considerable attention on M. Kieseritidcjr's 
new noLition, I hmtalttii the liberty Of olM^ nmarkioiitlMfnb- 

Ject lu question. 

I think it a clear and simple method of describing the moves, but am of 
opinion that the mention off the pieee tmd one iquare (as in llie poditfont) 
preferable to that of the two squares. For iaitalioeb I tililllK P. 45 belter 

than 26 to 45 for describing P. to K. fourth. 

I think this because a mistake could easily be rectified, and for the reason 
that it appc ars n eater and more concise. I ao not see wherefore it is necessiu-y 
to men num the names of pieces in the old notation : K. 2 to K. 4 would 
tdumet M well as P. to K. 4. I would al^ su^jge.st, to render the nota- 
tloo universal, that the first letters of the alphabet si^ify the pieces, as 
A. for B. for Q., C. for K. R., j and that the German method of 
denoting caitling (o— o) be adopted. In aome caaee in M. Kieseritzkj'i 
method, the pieces mutt be namedj as P. to Q. 8 beoomiog a Kl> &c. 

But as it is improbable that the idea of an unknown chess amateur will be 
preferred to that of our first players, I am simply contented with making my 
statement, and sinking into oblivion, highly honoured, indeed, if Uumn, 
Kling and Horwitz think my letter worthy of remark. 

With iminjr wishes for the p«rnument8uocesto the Cbms Pi^ftTxa. I beg 
tosobeoribemjieU; Gentkmen, 



FiSD. R. Of B. 



P.S.— I think the old notation might be improved and ■^mffiliifd bjf lotiilly 
excluding Black's numbers. White s would answer for all.

R. D. — We cannot find one problem out of the budf^et sent of guffldent 
merit to publish. Want of time will not serve as an excuse to our subscribers. 

W. B.— Good games wiU be very acceptable. Forward those you speak of 
Ibr examination. 

Gbeco.— We hear Mr. Staunton has offered to play another match with 
Mr. Williams, riving three games out of seven, for a larger stake, providing 
&uih player be umitedtohalian hour in making his move. 

G* G« HowDEN and a member of the City-«Mul Cheis Cfaib fcoeived, mad 
under examination. 

C. R —Look at the Laws of CheiS ; every player should posscis them, to as 

to settle disputes at the time. 

O. A.—Mr. Saan has justly the reputation of being a very ilne Pawn player. 

B^We do not like to give an opinion as to the strength of various plajrers ; 
fto much depends on the stete of the health that the weaker will sometimes 
bear off the pahu of victory where on another trial success would be certain

ON NOTATION. 
Oar fnbfcriben^ in gtving their opinioiifl on a new notation, are

equally as simple as the one afaready inflerted in our periodical. 
We doubt not that both may be improYed ; and as railroads and

This very difficult position has been forwarded to us hy a

authors have bestowed great care in analysing it, and have 
arrived at a different conchision. They are so impressed with 
its extreme difliculty that they challenge their correspondents to

Can either win ? 

(a) This I consider decidedly stronger than castling, as the 
latter admits of Black adopting the defence of E. Kt. to B third, 
which is stronger than any he can now frame. 

(b) Thismoye, formerl;^ held in esteem, has been lately re- 
jected as weak, and as giving Bhu;k too much time. I hold, on 
the contrary, that it is the strongest on the boards if followed up 

by Q. Kt. to B. third, on Black playing (as best) K. Kt. to B. 
third. Besides, I also consider that Q. B. to Kts. second is weak, 
unless followed by.Q. Kt. to Q. second; but e?en then the attack 
Is not so lasting as in the present game. 

(c) Loses if he takes Book» 

(d) To leave Book at liberty for guarding B. F. or B. Fawn.

In the game forwarde<l, White oas good ideas, but does not prepare snmr

given.

Medley— in both of which he bore off the palm of victory. The 
matebes consisted of the first foar in seven gemes, irrespective of 
draws ; with the exception of one draw in each match, Mr. W. 
won all the games played. This gentleman is now en^a^d to

(a) The only move to keep up the attaek, 

(6) Rook takes R would have been better, on account of 
playing IL to K. square, attacking Qneen. 

(c) Kt. to Q. fifth might have been a more counter attacking 
move, as White could never change Rook, leaving King's file 
open for Q. R. 

{d) Kt. to R. third would cause White to lose a Pawn besides 
the attack. 

(e) Evidently Black could not at this point play R. to Kts. 
square, because K. goes to Q. seven tli, and wins at ieatst a muve 
m compelling Rook back to R. square. Had Black, instead of 
that, poshed on Bawn to B, thfid. B. plays & lerenth, and 
Bbcn game was Apoiled. 

.(/) A master-move, leavinjg B. fyaxih open for the King, aa 
Black cannot take Pawn with K* without loshig. 

• (g) The only move to give Black a chance of winnmg. 

The only move. 

(^) It would have been dangerons to go to B. fourth with King. 

(I) If King went to Kts. third, R. would play to EL K sixth, 

and will au important time. 

(m) from the first move to this prudent one White kept up

IiBTTBBS TO THB BBITOKS ON NOTATION.— Ko. m. 

Oentlemen, — If the new notation were only for the benefit of English 
players, as yonr oosrespondent si^med " Bridport" seems to want it, there is 

no need of anjr reform at all, for the old method woald do very weD ; but 
when it ia considered that everr chees-player of any nation cannot read and 
understaad English, French, German, ItaJian, fto., Jto., it it only proper, if 
we have a new notation, to adopt one that all chess-players, where'er they 
be, nuky read and understand : and to answer that purpose, I think yon can* 
not invent a more simple and nniversal one than that yon have inserted in 
the 13th Number of tho Chess Platbb. There only wants added to it some 
nniversal signs for the Pawns and pieces, so that in writinp; down or printing 
a problem those signs may be known by aU to represent such aud such 
pieces ; whereas, now, the initial letter of uie EngBsh word is used for thaa* 
and consequently very seldom understood, but guessed at by foreigners. 
But the best method of all would be, and it is not impossible to be doue,^ to 
bare a set of Kings, Queens, &c., cast the same size as the printing capital 
letters commonly used to denote the piece required ; and then, I think, all 
would be pliiin sailing for those who plav at chess — let them reside at Kama* 
chatka or Timbuctoo. The French di^er from us in respect of our wortlur 
Bishop, whom they irreverently not onljr eaU Fi»Uj hat also picture him mmiob 
on their diagrams. It is a common saying that it takes a wise man to make 
a fool : and as we all believe that a bishop ought to be a wise man, is it from 
that kind of logic that the French oonoJude that a bishop is a fool P How* 
ever, if the French were to adopt our hentio Bishop, or we their eooentrie 
Fool, we should be more intelligible to one another, and that would be some- 
thing sained. Your German notation is the same as that adopted by 
Alsnojare in his mcmster colleotion of chess probkms. It is Tery good as 
far as it goes, but not near so simple as your first method, either for chess- 
players or printers. However, use your own discretion, and then adopt that 
method jon think best adapted to promote the end in view ; but the soomr 
you begin the fc«tter» in ofdsor to profs tha merits and dsmarits of Its 
adopted system. 

Wishing the Chssb f IiAZU infinite soooess, I remain, 

Yonrs respectfully,

THE CHE6S PLAYER. 



TO THE EDIT0B8 OP THE CHESS PLAYER. 

King' 9 College f Cambridge ^ Feb. 6, 1852. 
Gentlemen, — In playing over the Rev. J. H. Sweet's instructive analysis of 
the £vans' Gambit, it struck me that the third game, which he leaves un- 
decided, was demonstrably won for the first player. In proof, I beg to 
submit to his and your notice the following brief variations ; and remain, 

Gtentleraen, 

Yours obediently, 

W. Wi.TTB. 



The following diaq:ram (says our correspondent) represents the 
position at Black's 21st move, p. 19, of your present volume : —

Black has now choice of two ways of taking the Pawn ; in 
the first place,

playing only BL to K. B. second for his 24th niove» and when the 
Black JL goes to H, second at move 86» will play & to E. 
seventh (check)t and then Q. takes B. 

White may also win after Uie move given by Mr. Sweet:^ 

84. Q. takes B. P. (check) | 34. K. to K. sqoare

(a) P. to Q. fifth, giving greater freedom of action to his

(b) Perhaps this Is somewhat premature. 

(c) This exchange of pieces Is advantageous to bis adversaryi 
he should rather have taken the K, B. P. 

(d) Even now P. takes P. is better. 
{e) The correct move. 

(/) White was obliged to lose a Fawn. 
{g) These moves are well played by Wiiite. 
(A) It was bad to retake with the Pawn, 
(i) A very fine move. 
(j) This was inferior to P. to K. Kt. third. 
(k) The best play. 

(/) White could take this Pawn with impunity, having always 
In view perpetual check.'* 

(m.) Black might have forced a drawn game now hy playing 

his Hook to K. B. seventh. 

(») The position is still quite a study. 

The annual dinner of the Liverpool Chess Club was held at 
the Adelphi Hotel on Wednesday night, the 1 Ith ult. Sir George 
Stephens occupied the chair, and Dr. Iiiman the vice-chair, 
Aftir justice had been done to the rSckerch^ collection of good 
things which adorned the table, and the health of the Queen 
having been drunk iu a bumper, the chairman, in compliance 
with the usa^e of the society, j^ave " Prosperity and Permanence 
to the Liverpool Chess Club." He then in a lengthened speech 
reviewed the proceedings of the Chess Congress at the Touma- 
menty and attributed the defeat of Mr. Staunton to weariness of 
mind and lUness of body. The presence of Herr Loewenthal was 
noticed in a complimentary speech, and his health drunk ; and 
after several other speeches, the company rose from the uble 
and spread themselves in couples about the room to contest the 
honours of the chequered field.

TO THE EDITOBS OF THE CHESS PLATER. 

Gentlemen, — The following simple sig^s could be used with your notation 
(Chbss Playbk Ho. 13) ; the^ would be more brief and possibly less expen* 
' mve to print than flefures of Ein^, Queens, Sus., as suggested by " Simpla , 
Simon, and eutf slso for use with the pen. 
King — two perpendicular strokes. 
Queen — two horizontal strokes. 
Book— 4 square. 
Kiii^ht — a triangle. 

Bishop — a circle (distinguishing the King's pieoes from the Queen's bjr 
drawing a line throngh these signs). 

Pawn— a cross. 

The word '* takes" by two commas. 
The word check" by a star. 

The wofdi "one squtfe" hf m Boiall Une, ffitb » dot pibwed aibore and one 

underneath. 

The words " two squares" by a line, with two dots above and underneath. 
The word " Oaatler * bv the sign of the Book, with the sign for the King 
in the middle. The Black's men to be distingnidied from the White* when 

necessary, by placing two dots under each sign. 

Wishing your valuable work the most unbounded success^

Halifax St. Georgb*8 Chess Club. — Agreeably to the 
aTinouncement in our last, this club had on Wednesday eveiiinjr 
the honour of a visit from the celebrated Hungarian chess- 
player, Herr Locvventhal, who gratified a numerous assemblage 
of the members and their friends by playing six games simulta- 
neously, in all of which he gave odds, proportioned to the 
strength of his opponents. The resnlt of this interesting contest 
was a victory for the distinguished champion in four games out 
of the six. The other two were won by Courtney Kenny Clarke, 
Esq., at the odds of the King's Knight, and by the secretary, 
Mr. Edward Cronhehn, at the odds of the Pawn and move. 
Amongst the four games won by Herr Loewenthal, there was one 
exceedingly well contested by Mr. Thomas, at the odds of Fdwn 
and move, which lasted five hours. — Halifax Guardian, Feh. 28.

TO COKKESPONDE^sTS. 

All commimicatioiiB should be addressed to the Editors of tbe CnxflS 
Pltl.Tn, 19, Strand. 

Mh, Grekn, Morton Cnllpfjp, Oxford. — Games received. 

Vi. K. — The Correspondence Game between London and Amsterdam has 
not yet oome to a oonclnmon. The mores made shall be reoordediB an 
early number. 

Jtbus. — We highly recommend Mr. Bodeu's "Treatise on Chess." 

Plbabaitt. — In games played between young players, positions freqiientlj 
occur which a tirst-rute player, looking on, may feel interest in, and wish to 
analyse. In uninteresting games, we reprobate any interference. 

T. Atkiws. — Thanks fu»the two positions. The one in six moves, th<iugh 
not quite original, is very neat in eoDStrnction ; the other requires ametM- 
mr!it, n'? 'Wl'.ito. for thi> first move, can play B. to Q. sixlli. iii ' -:vi» mnXn m 
three moves. The Enigma in No. 'do should have a White Knight instead of 
Kins on E. B. sixth, and a Blaok Pawn instead of a White one on K. Et. 
tiiira— yoar intended position would then be correct.

THE CONTEST BETWEEN FRANCE AND BNGLAND BY CORRES- 
PONDENCE, AND THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF THE ELECTRIC 
TBLBGBAPH. 

(PViom La B^enee,) 

In a short time, a contest in chess will take place between the 
Club of Paris and the St. George's Club of Londun, the match 
to consist of two games by the Electric Tel^aph and two 
games bj correspondence in the usual waj. 

Mr, Staunton has addressed himself to Mr. Kieseritskj, and 
proposes that himself Mr. Wyvill and Captain Kennedy fliiall 
conduct the match on the part of the St. George's Clnh, and 
wishes Mr. K. to arrange with Mr. Laroche and the other French 
amateurs ; the prize of the contest to be fifty guineas, the surplus- 
remaining of the subscription for the Grand Tournament. 

Deprived of the co-operation of Mr. Laroche, through his 
private afiairs at Bayonne, and believing the contest would prove 
highly interesting, Mr. Kieseritzky proposed it to the Cercle of 
** La Begenccy" which has accepted the proposal, and named a 
Committee of the following gentlemen : — ^MessrSi Delink (Fire- 
sident), Crampell (SecretaiyX Chamooilleti DeUnnoj, Garcin, 
Jonmand, Elcaecit^y and S^nin to aetUe the eoodMoiui of the 
match. 

The Cercle, having arranged with the Electric Telegraph 
Company, proposes to the English players that two games shall 
be played through that medium, so that each party may have the 
first moTe» and at the same time oifors an additional prixe of 
1^50 ftancs to the winners.

The Hali&s Chess Clah oelebnted its twelfth annivmaiy hj 
a dinner at the Boyal Hotel* St James's-road, Haliibx. There 
was a large attendance of the memheis and friends of the society. 

After many toasts and addresses, Mr. Leyland, the honorary 
secretary, said that he had had the honour of calling together 
the members of that body twice, and he was willing to bear the 
charge once more, if the zealous chess-players of Yorkshire would 
aid the Halifax Chess Club in its endeavour to infuse renewed 
vitality into an association originally fonned under the happiest 
anq>ice8 and for the best of poiposes. 

It is hoped that Leeds will take np the gauntlet thus ftedy 
thrown down.
