The two following games were played in the "Town v. Country" match, between K. Battersby for Town and R.. Mitchell for Country, and are contributed with notes by Mr Battersby i-- 1
Black won. {a) This leaves the book, where 10-15 is played. (6) Before making this move Mr Mitchell studied the position for fully ten minutes. (c) I made this move rather hastily, as the other players had finished their games and were waiting for us. I think 23-19 would be a stronger move. {d) The losing move. R. B.
