Should (White hero move P to Q Kt 4, itls a moot point; whether Black* should capture the Pawn or retire the Bishop.

Castling (was decidedly the best resource, Black then dare not have taken theKP, as White by playing, K Kt to Q 2 would have won a piece. From this point the game turns altogether in Black's favor.

The young player will see that If White interposes, Bishop’s mate follows In two moves. (J), By taking Kt P Black could have won the Rook, but they, preferred the mere scientific course.

That would upon the rack of this tough world Stretch him out longer.” This game shows many weak and faulty moves,' and is not by any means a favorable specimen of a consultation game; a great deal of this may however be ascribed to the limited time allowed for the examination of the .various positions as they arose —fifteen moves per hour .being far too Wany to admit of a proper comparison of ideas.
