on both sides, with perhap i a slight advantage in White’s position. + A glaring slip which immediately loses the Queen and the game. White had many other good moves, and it seems almost impossible to imagine such a move as that in the text could have- been played in a match game. Each club having now won a game, it was arranged at once to play the conqueror. Game HI. Scotch Gambit. White (Dunedin) Black (Christchurch) 1. P to K 4 1. P to K 4 2 K Kt to B 3 2. QKt to B 3 3.
