(a) A dry, dull game is the result of this exchange, and the opponent, with his two Bishops and the rather stronger centre, though he has a doubled Pawn, keeps the draw more sure in hand. (6) Kt x P seems preferable. (c) 11...R--Ksq.; 12 P--KR3, 12 Kt--K4; 13 KtxKt. 13 R x Kt kept his Q centre more compact and was likely to give him an advantage in the end. (d) Well played. It was very important for Black to prevent or delay B--B5 or P--QKt3, followed by P--B4 on the part of the adversary, and, as will be seen, he judiciously leaves his at Rsq. with the object of advancing his QRP later on. (e) If P--QR4, the answer KB--QKt5, followed by B--BG, would force the exchange of the Knight, and on account of Bishops remaining of opposite colors a draw will be easily effected. (/)An excellent move that weakens White's Pawns on the Q wing, at least for attacking purposes. (/) The game is simplified and practically blocked for either side in all directions. Neither player can hope to open the game without much weakening his position, and a draw is the natural result. (J) Both parties have exercised their ingenuity in attempts to win. hut each play was carefully on the watch, and a forced draw is now the result. on A novel idea in this opening. Most practitioners of this debut develop this Knight at Q2 after advancing P--Q3, or else they play P--K3 and P--QB4 first, before bringing out QKt--B3. (In Best, undoubtedly. If Kt--K'i, Black may answer Kt--Kt 5 and exchange the important KB. (e( A weak move. He ought to have foreseen the opponent's clever reply, which either breaks White's centre or much relieves the cluster of Black's pieces on the K side. P-QB4 was the right play. ah He gives up a Paw n designedly, ...

Excerpt from The Book of the Sixth American Chess Congress: Containing the Games of the International Chess Tournament Held at New York in 1889 If the editorial merits of this book should disappoint the anticipations of the Chess world, I can only plead in extenuation that they do not satisfy my own. According to my original plan which, no doubt, the Committee of the Congress would have cheerfully supported if the means at their disposal had allowed it, the annotations to the games would have been more extensive and the illustrative diagrams more numerous. But. As explained in the Committee Report, the financial affairs of the Congress were not in a flourishing condition, and con sequently the printing expenses of the book had to be cut down as much as possible by abbreviating the notes which was done especially in the latter part of this work. However, I feel confident that my own editorial short comings will be covered fully by the contents of this volume, which, I may fairly say, stands hitherto unsurpassed in the main as a collection of tournament games, owing to the number of competitors, which was unprecedented for a double round contest, as well as on account of the average of strength exhibited in the play.
