Notes by Mr P StiP

(a) Weak. (b) Taking advantage of. Black's weak play.

(c) To take with root lo?es two pawns.

(d) Probably as good as anything else. White ie fond of his bishops, however, and does not grasp at the pawn. (E) Here Black might take P with Xt, with at least a- draw.

(f) Black is very short of time, and is glad to play a harmless move.

(o) There are possibilities here if Black's" pawn at B5 can be advanced at an opportune moment.

" (h) The position here is curious and difficult. Black expected Q x Q, then B-R 3.

(i) White here loses any advantege h» had, and his fine pawn and bishop position en the Q's side avails him- HUle.

The following neat trap in a game played between J. F. Lansing (White) and R. A. Hunt (Black) is shown in Itasker's Chess Magazine : —

White. Black. 9 R-B 3 ! Kt-Q 2 10 P-Q 4 X Kt-B 3 11 Kt-B 3 Kt-KtS 12 BxP(B5)-a Kt-B 7 b 13 BxP(Ki6) KtxQ 14 BxP eh K-K 2 15 Kt-Q 5 Mate.

(a) The trap,

(b) He walks in. This threatens the Queen and also mate; evidently Black expected 13 R x Kt. P x R eh; 14 X x P, P x B; overlooking White's intention.
