PREFACE
producing this book, which is only intended to preserve the games
JN —
some of which are extremely fine specimens and some of con
siderable theoretical value — the effort has been made to issue at a
figure that will command a big sale and not one that ensures com
mercial success on a limited edition at a prohibitive price. Chess
Books are recognised as being highly expensive to produce and
consequently much that could have been included to make the book
an historical account of the Tournament has perforce been omitted.
No survey of the play, of the form and scores of the masters and no
analysis of the openings used, nor of any new theoretical discoveries
can be included, solely on account of space and cost. The games
with good annotations and numerous diagrams are essential and
the book is therefore confined to these. The annotations are principal
ly by that famous player, G. Maroczy, and must consequently be
authoritative and the remainder rests with the printers and publishers
who have already produced Chess Pie and Pillsbury's Chess Career.
The work of production has been a long one and but for the able,
spontaneous assistance of a number of well-known amateurs
might easily have been longer.
My special thanks are due to

Mr. A. H. E. Johnson, of New Brighton,
„ G. W. Richmond, of London,
„ A. G. Conde, now of Hull,
„ R. C. Griffith, the Editor of the British Chess Maga~ine>
and
„ Paley Hughes, of London.
I am indebted to these gentlemen and so also is the Chess World

as any good qualities the book may possess are in no small measure
due to the help they have rendered in the various stages of its
production.

Acknowledgment
Just as the book was closing
for press, in fact after some
sheets were already printed,
it came to my notice quite
accidently that Mr. Maroczy
has in some cases used notes and
annotations from The Field. I
desire therefore to acknowledge
these, and in all the cases I have
been able to trace this has been
done under the notes in question.
If there are cases which have been
overlooked I hope this general
acknowledgment will be accept
able both to Mr. Amos Burn and
to the proprietors of The Field.

THE LONDON
INTERNATIONAL CHESS CONGRESS
Central Hall, Westminster,
July 31 to August 19, 1922.
Chessplayers in
'jpO British Chessplayers in general and to London
particular the history of the London International Congress of
1922 is already well known. Nevertheless some permanent record of
the Tournament and its inception is necessary.
The indefatigable efforts of Mr. S. J. Holloway to raise the necessary

funds for the Tournament will be fresh in the minds of everyone and
although the whole of the amount required was not raised his success
in this direction was unprecedented, the deficit being much less than
was expected.
Two previous International Tournaments in London are within

living memory and in the official Tournament books issued in connection
with them several early pages are occupied with lengthy lists of dona-
tions, and somewhat dull records of the preliminaries.
These less interesting details are omitted from the present

work because they were fully recorded in The Chess News Sheet,
which formed an unique feature of Mr. Holloway 's propaganda.
Six numbers of this sheet were issued — the last one giving the final
" "
results as well as a series of impressions of the Congress by prom
inent players and visitors — some serious, some humorous, but all
interesting.
The preliminaries in connection with this Tournament were

unique in more ways than one for in addition to the News Sheet a
valuable souvenir of the Congress entitled Chess Pie was issued,
edited by the present writer. It
hoped that this publication
was
might be able to assist the Tournament funds but although this hope
has not yet been realised it was at least self supporting, and if the
remaining stock is sold the fund may yet benefit. A gratifying
feature of the issue of Chess Pie is the fact that orders came from
6 London International Congress.
every part of the world. Iceland, China, Japan, Central Africa, South
Africa, Siberia and South America, as well as all the countries from
which one would expect a demand. This fact proves how well
the Tournament was advertised and how far flung are the devotees
of the game of Chess.
The Congress was so arranged that it embraced the annual

British Chess Federation Tournaments. The principal event com
menced on Monday, July 31st. After the official opening by the
Right Hon. A. Bonar Law and the Mayor of Westminster, an
inaugural luncheon which the competitors, the officials and many
distinguished visitors attended, took place in the playing hall. Play
commenced the same afternoon.
On Monday, August 7th, the Minor Tournaments commenced

and were so arranged that all sections concluded together on the
evening of Friday, August 18th.
The Minor Tournaments comprised the following events —

:
Major Open Tournament,

Minor „ „
Women's ,, „
First Class Tournament, 3 sections,
Second Class „ 3 „
Third Class „ 2 „
In these events a total of 150 players took part whilst the number
who took part in the miscellaneous competitions during the last fort
night was very much larger.
A surprising feature, but at the same time a very welcome one,

"
was the very large gate." The number of visitors to witness the
play — particularly in the masters tournament was wholly unpreced
ented and to an extent unexpected. It shows in a way that nothing
else can do that Chess is becoming increasingly popular. The glamour
"
of the title " World's Champion helped not a little in swelling the
gate receipts.
The final result of the masters tournament was in no way a surprise

in fact the first two in the order named were hot favourites with
London International Congress. 7
Rubinstein third, but the latter was not in the invincible form of old
and finished fourth.
With the exception of Morrison and Watson the competitors'

individual records to the date of the tournament were fully given
in Chess Pie — the already mentioned official souvenir and consequently
there is no need to recount them again in the present book. Most
of the photographs which follow are reprinted from Chess Pie.
Details of the financial aspect of the event are given in the British
Chess Federation Year Book and do not need recapitulation.
There is little else to place on record beyond the success of the

whole enterprise, and its result on British Chess can but be for good.
British amateurs have had the opportunity of continued practice
with the very best exponents from all over the world and further,
this International Congress has resulted in the participation of
several masters in subsequent tournaments in this Country — notably the
double round contest at Hastings in September and the later Single Round
Tourney, also at Hastings, and the meetings at Liverpool and
Margate.
A complete score table in order of merit and game index to the

Masters Tournament follow.

(1) Black having already exchanged the centre Ps, White has no need to
play R— K I, but could continue by BxKt and B— Kt 5.
(2) It is difficult to decide, whether it is worth while to spend a tempo on the
preservation of the K B. The text-move, adopted by Lasker in his twelfth match
game with Capablanca, was recommended by Dr. Tarrasch. Most players,
however, prefer B x Kt.
P— K R 3 and P— B 4 would have been more energetic.
(3)
(4) In the above-mentioned game Black played B — K B 1, and after
11 B— KKt5, P— KR3; 12 B— R4, P— KKt3; 13 Kt— Q 5, B— Kt 2 ;
14 Kt
— Kt 5. White had an excellent game.
(5) In order to play Kt
— Q 2 and B— B 3. The idea of White's next move
is to meet this plan by P— B 4. Better, however, would have been simply
12 B— K3.
(6) B
— K 3 would have been followed by Q— R 4, after which Black has
at least an equal position.
(7) Bad ; the Kt gets out of the game and the King is exposed. Better
14QXQ, PxQ; 15 B— K 3 or P— Q R 4.
(8) PxP, Kt x P leaves Black with the better position as well.
(9) This loses a P. P— K B 4 was necessary.

(1) This move is not to be recommended, White is master of the centre
with his Ps and the Black K Kt is driven away from the K side.
(2) White threatened Kt—Kt 5, followed by Kt x B P and P— Q 6.
(3) Black defends himself with great determination, and as a matter of fact
the game is not going to be decided on the K side.
(4) Decisive ; Black cannot now take with either R because Kt — B 5 would
follow, so he relinquishes the QBP.

29 R-R3 PxPch game.
(1) Black plays the opening in an original way.
(2) Now the position has developed into an open game. In game No. 5
8 Q — B 2 was played.
(3) White seems to intend B — K 3 followed by Q

— Q 2 and B— K R 6
The move in the text is made to prevent Kt — Kt 5.
(4) That is no doubt the best move, as in any other case White would have
to lose a move in protecting the K P.
(5) Intending to continue with P — K B 4.
(6) To have the Kt protected after P— K B4; 13 Px P, PxP, etc.
(7) Reti has now accomplished his plan, to get the attack on the K side
but Rubinstein, with his sound judgment finds a good counter on the Q side by
advancing his Ps.
(8)A move of doubtful value.
(9) If 26.., BxKt then 27 QxB, P— Q R 3 ; 28 RPxP ! (28 Q— Q 3 ? is
bad, for after P — Q Kt 4 the position would be blocked on the Q side, with a
clear advantage for Black on the K side), 28.., PxQ; 29 RxRI, PxP;
30 R
— Kt 8 and White gets R and two passed Ps for the Q.
(io) An interesting combination, but there is a flaw in it.
London International Congress
(i i) Here the right line of play for White is 33 B— Kt I, R — Q 8 ; 34 R — R 2,

Q R— B 8 ; 35 B— B 2 followed by K— Kt 2, and wins.
(12) Very well played. Black now threatens to bring his Kt to K R 5.
(13) The beginning of a deep combination in reply to the opponent's mating
combination.
(14) If Black now plays Kt — R 5, threatening mate in four moves, then
White replies 40 QxBP, RxQ; 41 R X R ch with a won ending for White.

him the advantage.
(3) This weakens the Q P irretrievably ; Kt

(3) Black cannot avoid the loss of a P. K
— Kt 1 ? would be met by R — R 1.
(4) P
— B 4 would have been better than exchanging despite the exposed K.
— " hole " at B as long as
(5) Not P Q Kt 3, in order to avoid the Q 3 possible.
(6) Probably White would have done better to play the K along to Q 2
so as to have the R free.
(7) This combination is the only chance for White as it is difficult to see how
he can win in any other way.
(8) K
—Kt 4 would have won.
—
(9) P R 3 ? ; 40 P
— R 5 and White would have the opposition.
(10) After this move the game is a definite draw, similarly after K — B 3, P—
R 3 ! and if K
— Kt 3, P— Kt 4, there is no chance either.
(11) The only move. Black must be able to answer White's K— B3 with
K— K 4 and, K— B 4 with K— Q 4, and K— Kt 4 with K—K 4.

(4) Now follows an interesting ending which is most critical for both players,

(3) On this side the Q is liable to get into difficulties. Why not simply
Q — Q B 5, which forces the exchange of Queens, with a very good game ? But
the text-move seems to have been the preparation for the following gross blunder
(4) An oversight, or at best a faulty combination. By the line of play adopted
in the following moves. Black obtains a sort of attack.
(5) The only move to save the game.
(6) Interesting play, but it is of no avail.
(7) The R ending has to be very carefully played by White, as there are
many chances of a draw in the position.
(8) Now of course the game is lost, as all the Q side Ps will be exchanged,
and White will eventually have two united Passed Ps on the K side.

(1) This exchange is not to be recommended, but Wahltuch is not fond of the
well-known paths and treats the openings in very original manner.
(2) The Kt is not well placed on Q B 4 ; O- O was to be considered,
— the
strength of the Black Bs makes itself gradually felt.
(3) This is a mistake ; it is interesting to notice how Capablanca was waiting
for this blunder ; White's position after Kt — K 3 would not be so bad.
(4) The finishing touch, White is without hope of saving the game.
(5) The Kt rules the situation.
(6) The champion of the world terminates the game with a few powerful
moves ; the manner in which he rolls up the Ps and gets two united passed Ps
is very instructive.

(1) This defence does not to-day enjoy a high reputation,
but this game
shows that there are many things left to be examined.
{2) Reti's continuation seems here to be better : 9
PxP, BxP; 10 Kt—
Q R 4, — K 2 ; 11 B — K 3, etc.
(3) Rubinstein played Kt

— K 2 in San Sebastian against Capablanca ; the
move in the text is more vigorous, for the Black Q P is weak and scarcely to be
defended. On the other hand Black has some chances for an attack.
(4) The move with the It was the deciding mistake, much better was :
18. ., B— B4 ; 19 B— K 5, R— K 1, and then 20. ., Kt — B 3 or B2.
(5) Vidmar very energetically profits by the weakness of the R's move.
(6) Elegant, but not correct, the P is untenable.
(7) 22 would be bad on account of Q — Q 4 ; 23 KtxB, R x Kt ;
KtxKt
24 QxQP, QxB, etc. After the move made above RxQ threatens, followed
by R x P ch, etc.
(8) White compels his adversary to exchange and thereby arrives at an
end-game which must be won. The ending is played very simply but vigorously.

Round Two 35
(1) B— Kt i would have been better.
(2) This Exchange helps to free Black's game.The B should have been
retired to Q 2.
(3) Instead of the text-move, White should have played Q — Q 3 or B 3, to
prevent the adverse Q entering at K B 4.
(4) White weakens his position by this advance.
(5) With B against Kt and his R in command of the open file Black has
now the preferable game.
(6) The Kt being well posted at K 5, should not have been moved, but Black,
having command of the open file, had the advantage, and it is difficult to suggest
a satisfactory move for White, as Black was threatening 25. ., Q — B 1, followed
by 26 R — B 7. White could not challenge command of the B's file by 25 R — Q B 1
without allowing Black a dangerous passed P, e.g., 25 R — QB1, RxR;
26QXR, BxKt; 27PXB, QxP; 28 Q— B 8 ch, K— R 2 ; 29 QxP, QxP;
30 Q
— Kt 7, QxP; 31 QxBP (threatening to draw by perpetual check),
Q— Kt 8 ; 32QXP, P— Kt 5.
(7) If 37.., R— Q7ch; 38 K—Kt 3, RxP; 39 R— Q Kt 8 and Black
could not defend the Kt P.
(8) If instead of the text-move White had played 52 K
— K 4 Black's reply
would probably have been 52.., R —-Kt 7 before Queening the P for if 52..,
P— Kt 8 = Q; 53 R— R5ch, K— Kt 7 ; 54 R— Kt 5 ch, K— B 7 ; 55 RxQ, KxR;
56 K
— Q 5 and though Black would still win, he would have to play with great
accuracy, the method being to bring up his K and secure the opposition on the
rank.
(9) For if 55 R— B5CI1 then 55.., K—K 8 ; 56 R— K Kt 5,
RxPch;
57 K—K 4, K— B 7 ; 58 R— B 5 ch, K—K 7 ; 59 R— K Kt 5, R— Kt 5 ch
and wins. An interesting and instructive end-game.

(1) White treats the opening badly, the Kt had temporarily a better place
on —
Q 4 ; B— K 3 followed by O O was worth consideration.
(2) Castling on the Q side is faulty. White has got the majority on the K side
and in order to utilise it the K ought to remain there. After the move in the text
Black gets the advantage.
(3) A gross oversight, White loses his most useful P, and with this the game
is decided.

(1) This is no doubt the best move.
(2) Black has now three Ps against two on the Q side.
(3) Q
— Qi was the preferable alternative, followed by 19.., P — QR4
and 20 . . , P — Q Kt 4, with a good counter-chance on the Q wing by advancing
the Ps.
(4) Better perhaps would have been 21.., Kt — Kt 3 to prevent 22 P—

KR4.
(5) A fine move which gives White the advantage.
(6) Black has many difficulties in the actual continuation, and his stubborn
resistance is to be admired.
(7) This loses at once, Black misses the chance of getting an even game.
After 55. ., K— Kt 3 ! ; 56 R— R 8, K—Kt 2 ; 57 R— R 8, R (Kt 2) x P, etc.,

Resigns
(1) Very well played ; White's game is now somewhat more free.
(2) The change is enforced, Black is obliged to give up the centre, which
proves that the whole scheme of Black has been wrong.
(3) B— B 1 is to be considered.
(4) Better was B— Kt 3, for instance: 14..,

Q —K R 4 ; 15 P — K 5,
QxQ; 16 Q RxQ, Kt— R4 ; 17 PxP, KtxB; i8RPxKt, PxP; 19 Kt—
Kt 3, P— Q 4 ; 20 Kt— B 5, etc.
(5) White sacrifices another P, for he hopes to get more than a draw out of
the game considering the open position of the K, the exemplary defence of
Alekhine, however, makes an end to this illusion. P — K 5 could be answered by
15.., Kt—Q4; 16 PxP, PxP; 17 P— B4, Kt— B6; 18 QxP, B— B 4
and White cannot take the B P on account of B— Kt 8 !
Round Three 4i
(6) The Kt move is not the best, Q — Q 2 was to be preferred with good
chances for a draw.
(7) This simple move wins the P, which was not to be taken immediately,
because White would have obtained a too strong attack, now, however, the game
is decided.
(8) Decides at once ; Alekhine played the game with much energy till the
end.

(1) A weak move, as White cannot without disadvantage exchange B for Kt.
(2) Black now threatens to start a counter attack by Q

— Kt 3 and White
has nothing better than to give up his valuable B for the Kt, bringing his
opponent's Q into play.
(3) Against Capablanca, in this position, Wahltuch played P — K 4.
(4) Probably intending eventually to Castle on the Q side, in the hope of

obtaining an attack by advancing the K side Ps.
(5) Kt — B 3 followed by Castling on the K side would have been safer.
(6) A fine move, threatening to obtain a strong attack, by the further

advance of the Ps on the Q side, while, if the P be captured, Black gains time in
development as well as a fine position by playing R — Kt 1. Rubinstein calls
attention to the fact that a similar sacrifice was made by Blackburne in a game
against the late S. Winawer.
(7) With Q, R and B bearing on the adverse

K, Black has already a manifest
advantage in development, which forces the game.
(8) A powerful move, which forces the game.
(9) Not 19 PxB because of 19. ., Q — R 6 ch ; 20 K— B 2, Q — Kt 7 mate.
(10) Better than capturing the Bishop, as White's reply would have been
20 Q — B 2 ch followed by 21 QxB, with a defensible game.
; White probably had an idea of a possible draw by perpetual

(11) Desperation
check after playing 22 R — R5.
Round Three 43
(12) Rx Q ch would also have won, but the text-move is more drastic.
(13) For if 24 Bx R dis ch then 24. ., K — Kt 1, and White cannot carry out
his idea of drawing by perpetual check, his B being pinned. A finely played game
by Rubinstein.

(1) P— B 3 at once was preferable.
(2) It
was not advisable for White to exchange his well-posted Kt for the B.
Better would have been 19 P — Q R 3 freeing his R and preventing his opponent
from entering at Q Kt 5 in case Black exchanged Ps.
(3) The exchange of Ps strengthens Black's position and weakens White's
Q Kt P.
(4) This practically forces the exchange of Qs and leaves Black with a won
end-game, as he must win the Q Kt P.
(5) Not 31 . ., Ktx B as White's QRP could not then have been stopped.
(6) The shortest way to win.
(7)For White can neither save his own P nor stop the Black P from Queen
ing. Reti deserves great credit for winning this ending.

(1) This move involves the exchange of his KB for the Kt, and is, therefore,
perhaps not commendable.
(2) Here B x P was better ; the two hanging Ps at B 4 and Q 4 are always
a source of weakness.
(3) Beginning already the attack on the isolated Ps ; and besides there is
.also an attack on the K in prospect, owing to the strong position of Black's B.
(4) It is now but a choice of evils ; the R P is attacked and if B x Kt, Q X B,

the Q P is lost. But after the move in the text the QBP falls.
(5) Q x Kt ? would lose a piece : Q x Kt !
(6) The end-game is by no means easy to win.

Q— Kt 2 ch ; 34 K — B 1, Q x P (threatening Q — B 7 mate) and wins as the Black
K can escape from the checks of the Rs.
(7) If 33 K— R 1, then 33. ., Q— Kt 2 ; 34 Q— R 2, Q— Kt 5 and White
has no defence.
(8) Mate next move was inevitable. A fine finish, played by the North of
England champion in his old, vigorous style. Notes from The Field.

(1) More in use isP — K 3 or P — Q B 4, after the move in the text White
plays the Sicilian Defence a tempo ahead.
(2) After Kt
— Q 2 follows B — K 4, the retreat of the B costs two tempos
but still it seems inevitable.
(3) Premature and making the gained advantage of position imaginary.
(4) Naturally not PxP on account of B— B 7 ; the Black Kt now

dominates the position.
(5) The only thing White retains is the force of the united Bs.
(6) A gross oversight ; the best move was Q

— R 6, after which a White
win would be doubtful in spite of the better position.

(1) The modern theory recommends here P— Q 4.
(2) The advance of this P is not to be recommended.
(3) The change is premature ; Black ought to further his development with
P— K Kt 3 and B
— Kt 2 in order to strengthen simultaneously the attack
on the K P.
(4) White has an inferior position ; this move is not strong and brings
immediate loss. The best would have been Q — Kt 3.
(5) Decisive ; White can scarcely avoid further material losses.

worse as it weakens the position.
(3) If 18. ., Q— Q 1, then 19 Kt— Q R 4 and White also brings his Kt to

opportunity of repeating moves.
(5) Winning an important P with a big advantage of position.

have advantage on the Queen's side.
(4) During the last few moves Atkins having a good position and not
seeing how to improve it, has been content simplj- to mark time with his Kt.

(1) White stands too much upon the defensive.
(2) This move turns out badly. The Kt will be exchanged and the P on
K 5 is weak. White lost his game with Alekhine in similar manner.

much left for the annotator to say.

Drawn
(1) Black hopes to break through with P — K B 4, but he does not succeed.
(2) The B again controls the whole diagonal and hinders for ever P — K B 4.
(3) The White B is very disagreeable and must be changed.
(4) Mr. Wahltuch plays very cautiously and prevents all counter-attacks
on the K side.
(5) The Kt was in danger, because he would have no escape after P
— Q Kt 4.
(6) Premature, P
— Q Kt 4 ought to have been made.
(7) White threatened P— Kt 5, for instance : 23 . . , P— K R 4 ; 24 Kt (R 4)
—
B 5, KtxKt; 25 KtxKt, PxKt; 26 Q x R P ch, K—Kt 1 ; 27 Kt— PxP,
Q 6 ; 28 Q— R 4, etc.
(8) It is interesting that in this game both players make the same mistake
The further advance of the K Kt P is bad, much better was B — Kt 4 or P—
B 3. After the move in the text White gets the advantage.
(o) Kt — B 5 ought to have been made here.
(10) Very strong was here Kt
— R4! ; the White Kt gets a dominating
place on K B 5 .
(11) Black must threaten the K, otherwise disadvantage on the K side results.
(12) An interesting attempt to win would be here P
— B 5, for instance,
42.., QPxP; 43 P— Q6, Kt— K3;
44 R(Kt2)— R 2, 45 R— PxP;
Q 7, B— B 2 ! and White cannot leave the second line on account of RxB.
(13) After 48 R— R 7, Kt
— R4 can be played and 49 B — K 1, Kt— B 5 ;
50 B— Kt 3, Kt
— R 4, etc., forces a draw. The text move frees the B.
Round Five 59
(14) Black could yet attempt R

— R 1 with slight hope of a win, but the
game had been so exacting that he preferred to simplify it. A very interesting
game played by both players with much originality.

(4) This cannot be understood, but White's position is lost in every case.

(1) Castling is better.
(2) Waste of time, White should have castled.
(3) Threatening to win a piece ; it is evident now that White's nanchetto

manoeuvre was bad.
(4) The alternative was Q

— Kt 4, after which White has to play K — B 1 .
However, White threatening P — K B 4, makes it most difficult to find a satis
factory continuation of the attack.
(5) The only move ; if P— K 4, Q — Kt 4 wins a piece.
(6) P— Q B 3, keeping the strong centre Pawn, which completely blocks

White's game, was much better.
(7) If B— B 3, Q x Q ; 20 Bx Q, and Black gets a good end-game.
(8) Better R
— R 5, as appears two moves later.
(9) If K — R 1 Black continues the attack by Q — R 5 threatening B x P.
(10) This sacrifice seems perfectly sound, as Black gets three Ps and some
attack for the piece ; White however, defends his dangerous position excellently,
by careful manoeuvring withstands Black's attack. B— Kt 2 would therefore
have been better.

(1) The usual continuation for Black is 8.., Kt — Q R 4, followed by 9..,

P— B 4.
(2) It would have been safer to capture the Kt as the B is afterwards shut
completely out of play.
(3) A good move by which Black gets his Kt into play and improves his
position.
(4) K — R 1 might probably have been better with a view to playing B — Kt 1,
but the K would then have been badly out of play for the end-game. The im
mobility of Black's B practically decides the issue.
(5) Obviously Black could not play 41 . . , Kt x Kt because of 42 Q P >:Kt ch

and the B could never have come into play ; while had he, instead, played to
win a P by 41 . . , Kt x P ; 42 K x Kt, R x Kt ch he would still have had a lost
end-game, because of the unfortunate position of his B and the weakness of his
Q's side P.
(6) Threatening to win by 49 Kt — B 6 ch followed by P — Q 7 ch.
(7) For if 52.., P— R7 then 53 KtxR,

P— R8 = Q; 54 P— Q 7 ch, Kx
P; 55 P
— Q 8 = Qch and wins. A highly interesting game and a good example
of Capablanca's accuracy in the end-game.

(9) With two Bs against B and Kt, White has now a slight advantage for

sufficient to win.

(1) A doubtful exchange as it strengthens White's centre. Preferable would

have been 7. ., P — Q Kt 3.
(2) If 19.., P— B3 then 20 Q— R 4, PxKt; 21 BxPch, K— B 1 ; 22

R — Q 3 with a strong attack. If 19. ., QxB P then 20 Q R— B 1 followed by
21 R— B7.
(3) A fine move which gives White a strong attack.
(4) If 28 ... P x R then 29 QxKt threatening 30 Q x P ch and Black would

have had no valid defence.
(5) The position is a very interesting one and we think that Black could
have obtained the better game with the very fine move suggested by Mr. Green-
well, 29 . . , B — K 5 ! The White B is attacked and if White takes the B Black
has the answer 30.., RxKt.
(6) Black was threatening 30. . , Rx followed by, if 31 P x R, R X R ch ;

32 BxR, Q— K8 mate.
(7) Desperation but Black has no resource.
(8) Mate in four moves was inevitable. A very interesting game equally
creditable to both players and with plenty of chess in it.

(1) This continuation is not good for White. He should play for immediate
attack by P— K R 4.
(2) Black has established a strong attack.
(3) But the command of the King's file gives White all sorts of good counter
chances.
(4) Of course not P— Kt 3, as BxP would then win.
(5) Now BxP woulu not be good, as White would take with the R P and
interpose at R 3, after which the White K would be safe behind the Black P.
(6) It is not clear why Black changes his B for the Kt ; he thought
probably that his attack would win quickly, but that was a serious mistake as
the sequel shows
(7) White brings his R back just in time.
(8) The only chance ; he wins one P back and gets his R amongst the White
Ps.
—
(9) Here R B 5 (or B 4) would have yielded at least a draw, if not more.
(10) Very feeble; he should still play R — B 5.
(r 1) It is now merely a question of time ; the passed Kt P must win the R.

(1) This old defence of Paulsen comes again into fashion.

(2) The B is better placed on K 2 or on Kt 2.
(3) This move requires the most careful consideration in the Sicilian ; when
made at the wrong moment, the position is quickly ruined.
(4) Black has obtained the initiative.

(5) Better than Px P e.p., for with two Bishops and open lines Black would
attain the superior game.
(6) Black's position is superior. White's extra P on the Q side is paralysed,
and the attack with P — Kt 4 decides the issue sooner or later.
(7) Very hurriedly played. First P — Kt 3 ought to have been played followed
by K—Kt 2 and K— B 2.
(8) Simpler was Kt— Q 4.
(9) A miscalculation. White falls into a trap.
White thought he could give check on K B 7 and

saw too late that the Q guards this. Better was 36 P— K Kt 3, but even so
Black has a draw with 36. ., PxP; 37 QxB P, QxQ ; 38 Px Q, B— K 2 I ; 39

(13 B— Kt 1, B— R 3 !, etc.).
(2) A premature move. Preferable was 16.., B— Kt 2.
(3) Black cannot play B x P because of 20 B x P.
(4) Not a good move. Better would be 26.., Q — B 4, or 26.., Q — B 3.
(5) This sacrifice is not sound, but Black has a lost game anyhow. After
28.., Kt— B3 White would simply win by 29 KtxP.
(6) Black ought to resign here. The rest of the game requires no comment.

Drawn
(1) The position is now the same as in the sixth game of the recent Lasker-
Capablanca match.
(2) But here Mr. Lasker played 7 R— K 1 ; the text-move is the correct
continuation for White, as it forces Black to retake with the B to avoid losing
his KP.
(3) Black is now compelled either to give up the centre by Px P, or to defend

his KP.
(4) In the fourteenth game referred to above Mr. Capablanca played 8 . . ,
PxP.
(5) If 9 P— Q 5, then 9. ., Kt— B 4 attacking the Q and making an escape
for the B.
(6) Better than exchanging Qs which would have brought the White Kt
in at Q 4 threatening to enter either at Kt 5 or B 5.
(7) The game was perfectly even and a draw was the legitimate result.

Drawn
(1) The right continuation was here: 7 BxKt, QxB; 8 P— K 4, Px
KP ; 9 B— Kt 5 ch, B— Q 2 ; 10 Kt x P (better than B x B ch, Kt x B, Kt x P,
on account of —
Q Q R 3 !) followed by BxBch and O — O.
(2) Here White could have prevented his opponent from Castling, but it
would not have been any more advantageous, for instance : 9 B x Kt, BxB;
10 P x Q P, Q B x P ; 11 Q— K 2 ch, K— B 1, etc.
(3) Very well played !

(4) White could here fall into a very interesting trap. As it seems White
wins the exchange with Kt — B 6, but in fact he loses the game : 18 Kt — B 6,
—
Q— Q 2 ; 19 Kt K 7 ch, K— B 1 ! and Black wins.

(1) Better would be 4.., Kt — B3 here, in order to compel 5 Kt — Q B 3.
After the text-move White has time for 5 P — Q B 4.
(2) Rubinstein adopts the variation proposed and supported by me, wherein
Black is thrown entirely on the defensive.
(3) This only weakens his own K's position, but Black has scarcely any
thing better.
(4) Rubinstein exploits logically his advantage in position.
(5) Now ensues an interesting finish wherein Rubinstein demonstrates his

superior powers of combination

(1) Black's treatment of the opening was rather original ; but not entirely-
satisfactory.
(2) Of course not QxBP, as P— K 5, BxB and Q — K4 would win for
White.
(3) The decisive move, which breaks up Black's Q side Ps. Black should have
developed his Q B earlier.
(4) Now Black has three weak Ps : K 3, B 5 and Q R 2 and that is too
much.
(5) If RxKP, R— Kt 7 would be troublesome.
(6) Black is trying for an attack on the White K ; but this scheme is doomed
to failure.
(7) This move saves everything, and Black might now have given up a
hopeless game.

(1) More advisable would be 8 P — Q Kt 3 followed by B — Kt 2.
(2) To prevent P— Q Kt 4 after 12.., Kt— B 4.
(3) Black is quite right in posting the B on the K side, as the Q's side is
blocked.
(4) This attack would not succeed against a careful defence.
(5) 23 . . , B x B P would be a mistake, because of 24 P— Kt 3 followed by

RxB, but the text-move is also weak.
(6) A simple way to win a piece.
(7) Desperation, Black having no other resource.
(8) By this move White throws away a dead won game. After 30 RxB,
R— B 8 ch ; 31 K — Kt 2 Black must give two Rs for the Q, leaving White a
clear advantage of material.

made to prevent White's P— K Kt 4.

game.
(3) The Black Q is in a precarious position, but this excursion makes matters
worse. Perhaps P — Q B 4 at once was better.

(2) This loses at once. Offering the exchange of Q by Q — Q 1 might have
enabled him to hold out longer, but he had probably a lost game whatever was
done.
(3) This wins a piece and consequently the game, but, as Mr. A. West
points out, 21 R — Kt 6 finishes the game immediately as well as prettily.

(1) Black wins an important tempo in a rather original way ; omitting the
usual P — Q R 3 he provokes Kt — Kt 5. This is of no use as the Q simply retreats
to Kt 1 and the Kt sooner or later has to go back.
(2) Better Q
— Q 2 forcing Black to play P — Q R 3 as he cannot allow K Kt —
Kt 5 and Q R — Q 1. K Kt — Kt 5 at once is useless. Black simply playing Q—
Kt 1 and P— Q R 3.
(3) A weak move, for it leads to no result ; Q Kt — Kt 5 would have been

useless as well because after Q— Kt 1 White cannot win a P by 13 KtxKt,
PxKt; 14 KtxRP
on account of R — B2 by which Black wins a piece.
Probably White should try and get up an attack against Black's K side by P —
K Kt 4.
(4) This loses a P without any compensation.
(5) If 14 BxKt, PxB; 15 KtxP, R-B2; 16 PxP, Kt—Q 4 winning

is
(1)
(2) The game now becomes very interesting. Instead of his usual waiting
game Mr. Capablanca plays for the attack, makes no attempt to defend his Q's
side and risks everything on the success of his attack on the K's side.
(3) The advance of this was forced as White threatened 21 PxP,

P
followed by 22 QxRP ch.
(4) Not 21 Kt x at once, because of 21.., —R ch followed by 22..,

54 R— K Kt 8 B— K 4 The game was continued to move
55 K— B 2 R— R 6 120 when a draw was agreed.
(1) The usual move here is 5 P — K 3. While the text-move ensures the
regaining of the gambit P, it creates a hole at Q Kt 3 which may be utilized by
the Black pieces.
(2) Instead of these very elaborate manoeuvres might be considered the
continuations 9 Q— K 2 or 9 Q — Kt 3 or 9 Kt — K 5.
(3) Black already better developed, at once attacks in the centre.
(4) More logical and economical would be 12 Kt x B. Subsequently White
plays very ingeniously, for although he creates further weak points (Q 4 and
Q 5) in compensation he secures strong diagonals, and in spite of apparently
faultless play by his opponent, maintains equality — another of the innumerable
examples that White as such can permit himself many things without necessarily
losing the game.
(5) This weakens the point K 3, but appears to be necessary, since P— B 5
is threatened.
(6) By immediately abandoning this P, which moreover could not be held,
White gains time.
(7) After 24 . . , Q x P, White would regain his material by 25 R
— Q 1.
The text-move looks forcing, since Black compels the exchange of Qs with a
P to the good, yet it should not have led to a win. It is however hard to find
anything better.
(8) Upon this strong passed P, which threatens to win the exchange, Black
builds his hopes and his opponent justifies them.
(9) This defensive move is wrong : White should continue with 28 P x P !
and then he could not lose, e.g., 28 P x P, R X R ch ; 29 R x R, P— K 7 ; 30 R —
R 1 !, R— KB 1 (if 30. ., P— K 8=Qch, then 31 RxQ, BxR; 32 BxKt with
an even position) ; 31 K — Kt 1, R — B 4 ; 32 B — R 4, K — B 1 ; 33 B — B 4;
Kt — B 5 ; 34 B— K 1 (threatening B— Q 2 if the Black B moves), Kt — R 6ch;
35PxKt, R— B8ch; 36 K— Kt2,BxB; 37BxRP,K— K2; 38 P— Q 5, etc.,
and White has the better game.
(10) Better would be 36. ., K
— K 2 so as to get the K into the centre.
(11) The last and decisive mistake which at once gives the win away. With
37. ., R
— B8 ! ; 38 R — Bl, RxB ; 39RXR, P— K 7 Black could have won easily.
After the text move he certainly gains a piece, but not the game, since too few
Ps are left on the board to lead to a decision.
(12) The resulting end-game of K, R and two Ps versus K, R, B and P is
only a draw. After the exchange of Rs Black cannot stalemate the White K
and compel him to play P — Kt 4, which with the Black P on White's K R 5
would lose for White, but without the exchange of Rs, it is not possible
successfully to attack the point Kt 3 and so the game is drawn.

(1) This attack is premature and leads to nothing. White should first
complete his development !
(2) Black has played the end-game, which was not at all favourable
for him, very well indeed and has obtained good chances, but owing to the scant
material left it is of no avail.
(3) White also plays well and frustrates all designs of his wily opponent.
(4) This excellent move forces the draw.

(1) Black has obtained a very good game B— Kt 3 was perhaps better.
Compare with Game 59 up to move 11.
—
(2) Here we think that P B 4 and B 5 would have given Black a winning
attack. After the text the K's P is detached and the White Kt has a strong
position at B 5.
(3) A strange move, which gives up a P at once. K — B 1 might have been
tried.
(4) The move Q
— K 7 ? would lose the Q, viz., R—Q 7 ch ! and if the Q
moved anywhere else, Q — R 5 ch would have won.
(5) We should have preferred K
— Kt 2 and R — B 2. The two passed Ps
would then have won easily, whereas White has great difficulties in the actual
continuation.
(6) We fail to see how White could have won if Black had kept his K on
the Q side.

is not advisable to make this exchange, especially before White has
moved his K B.

(4) Probably with the object of developing his Q on the King's side after
playing P — K B 4.
(5) Black is now a P ahead and his pieces are in much better play than his
opponent's.
(6) A powerful move to which there is no satisfactory reply, as Black
threatens not only 27. . , Q x P mate, but also R — B 8 ch, winning the Q.

(1) An alternative and perhaps preferable continuation for White is 4 P

bringing about the regular form of the Giuoco Piano.
(2) B x Kt, doubling the B P would not have been good for White, as his
opponent's two Bs would have been too powerful.
{3) Black has now the advantage in development, as White cannot Castle
at once because of B x P ch winning the Q.
(4) There is generally an element of danger in Castling on the Queen's side

as the King is there more exposed to attack than after Castling on the King's side.
(5) Both Black's Bs are now bearing on the White King's entrenchment,
whereas White's Bs are threatening nothing.
(6) The storming of the enemy's position commences with the move.
(7) All Black's pieces are now well posted for the attack.

(1) Vidmar attempts a novelty, and hopes to be able to justify this defence
by sacrificing a P.
(2) The P sacrifice is shown to be
incorrect, but here Black could obtain
quite a good game by R— Q 1 ! ; 11 P — B 4, Kt — B 3 ! Our suggested defence
appears to obviate all dangers for the second player in the Queen's Gambit.

(3) 12.., P QB4 had to be considered; to this White could reply 13

44 Q-B 7 Resigns
(1) A better plan of development would be 12. ., P — Q Kt 3 and B — Kt 2.
(2) The Queen is indeed not well posted at K 2 and should perhaps be played
now to Q 1. By the text-move Black loses much time.
(3) White has already got a clear advantage of position.
(4) Now the Queen has returned to the same place with a loss of four moves.
(5) This move weakens the K's side.
(6) Black has to run the risk involved in this move, as White is threatening
QxP. If 30.., K — R 1 then 31 Kt — Kt 4, threatening KtxP.
(7) Any other move would lose at once. If 31. ., QxP then 32 Kt — Kt 4,
etc. 31.., KtxBP cannot be played because of 32 Kt — B 5.
(8) To Q— B 6 Black would reply Q— Kt 4.
(9) Black cannot play 39.., PxP because of 40 Q
— B6, but the move
actually played is also a mistake, as shown by the sequel. The comparatively
best continuation would perhaps be 39. . , Q x P ; 40 R — Kt 4, QxR; 41 R X
Kt ch, R x R ; 42 Q x Q ch, K— B 2, and Black might still make some resistance
although White should finally win.

(1) White should defer the development of the Q Kt in order to retain
the possibility of being able to play P— Q B 4.
(2) This move weakens the Q side Ps.
(3) More energetic here would be 8 P
— Q R 4, to compel the opening of
the Q R file. White plays for the direct attack on the K.
(4) In order to play P
— B 5, White conducts the attack very vigorously
(3) Black defends himself very skilfully. This move aims at dislodging
the strong opposing B from B3.
(6) In preparation of the following combination, so that later no mate
could be threatened on K B 1.
(7) On R x R would follow naturally Kt x P.
(8) White now has a passed P and B against R, and this should suffice.
(9) White stops R— R 8 and Q— B 8.
(10) If Black takes the P, there follows Ktx P and Kt— Q 6 with advantage.
(11) The only chance of saving the game : otherwise the R cannot get into
action at all.
(12) This move is somewhat premature and causes White considerable trouble.
Better would be P — Kt 5, but even then Black could defend himself adequately.
(13) There is nothing else : Black now takes the lead.
(14) In the subsequent play Black still tries to win, but Bogoljubow makes
the best defences and achieves the draw.

P — B 3 or B— Kt 3.
(1) More usual is
(2) 10 P
— K R 3, B— R4; 11 R — K 1, etc., was to be considered; on
the other hand 10 P — K R 3, B— R 4 ; 11 Kt x P, was not sufficient on account
of BxB; 12 KtxKt, BxQ; 13 KtxQ, B— K7; 14 Kt x Kt P (B— R 3
threatened), BxR; 15 KtxB, Q R— Kt 1 ; 16 KtxP, RxP.
(3) Better would have been P— Q R 4 ; the move made costs a P.
(4) After R x K P follows simply Kt — B 3 ! and White cannot avoid

disadvantage.
(5) Black has only a slight advantage in the position ; the White Kt is
temporarily out of play.
(6) White manoeuvred with much skill and played himself out of his
difficulties.
(7) K— K 2 was better ; after this faulty move Black should have lost.
(8) Worth consideration was here 39 R

— Q 6 ch, K — K 2 ; 40 R x P, P—
Kt4ch; 41 PxP, PxPch; 42 K— K 5, etc. The text-move is equally good.
(9) White is contented with a draw. After 44 Kt x P ch, K— Q 1 ! (K—

28 P— Kt 3 4 Q-B Resigns
(1) As a rule the development of the Q B to Kt 2 leads to nothing if Black
has alreadv anticipated this manoeuvre bv B— K Kt 2.
(2) An alternative was 8 P — K4, but after R— K 1 ; a Q Kt— Q 2, PxP;
10 Kt or BxP, Kt — B4 Black has an excellent game. 8 PxP is bad on
account of Kt — Kt 3.
(3) If P— Q 4 at once, White plays 12 P x P, P X P ; 13 Kt— Kt 5, Kt— B 1 ;
14 R— B 1.
(3a) In view of the centre being blocked the B, being of no further use on
the long diagonal, looks out for more promising place.
(4) Making room for the Kt to protect the K side.
(5) QxB would have been better. After B x P ch ; 20 Kt x B, RxQ;
21 Kt x Kt, White has three pieces and a good position for Q and P.
(6) To protect the R and be able to play P
— B 3.
(7) If P— K R 3, Kt — R 3, and Black wins by the sacrifice of the B for the
R P.
(8) B— B 6 is bad. 25 P x B, P x P ; 26 Kt—Kt 3, P— R 5 ; 27 P— K 4 !
—
(9) This gives White the opportunity to free his game by P B 3. Better
was P— R 6 as on the 27th move.
" sees through it."
(10) White intended to meet Q — B 4 by P — B 3, but Black
(11) This apparently stops the attack, but now Black's KB becomes very
active on another diagonal.
(12) This makes matters easy for Black ; however, White was very short of
time.
(13) In order to prevent Black's sacrificing a piece for the two centre Ps.
(14) If Q— Kt 1, R— B 7.

Drawn
(1) Kt
— K 2 without exchanging the K B might be considered.
(2) Kt
— R 4 is usual here.
(3) More energetic here would be Q
— Kt 4 and P — K B 4. The exchange
favours the defence.
.(4) The P could not take, since after P
— K Kt 4 Black would obtain a
decisive advantage through the open R file.
(5) Stronger would be Q— K 3 at once.
(6) Black should first secure his P position on the Q side. Now the picture
changes, and White gets all sorts of attacking chances.
(7) Black appears to feel himself safe, or else he would have avoided this
loss of time, and could have played Q — 2. K
(8) Now the move is too late, and would be better replaced by R
— B 5.
White wins a P.
'
(9) Premature : R — Q 5 was simpler. .
(10) White still has the advantage and should certainly win.
(11) An instructive end-game with Rs, not faultlessly played however by
either master. D

(2) Black has a slight pull and only a general exchange offered prospects
for White. The points Q R 4, Q Kt 4, Q B 4 and Q 4 are all open to attack.
(3) Now the Black B also comes into play and strengthens the pressure on
the point Q 4. White should have played P — B 4.
(4) White continues to lose ground : Mr. Atkins must have been under
time pressure.
(5) Black has a won end-game. The Kt is here superior to the B, since
the latter cannot leave the Q P unprotected. The further play needs no comment.

(1) First PxB P is to be considered.
(2) The K B is after the fianchetto development better placed on Q 3,

because the Q has obviously few places left. The opening turns out favourably
for Black.
(3) Kt
— R 4 ought to have been played immediately, after the text-move
it is a mistake.
(4) Black has got a considerable majority of Ps on the Q side.
(5) The Black Ps grow thereby stronger. White has now no counterchance,
his game is lost.

(1) P
— B 5, followed by P — Q Kt 4 ; as played by Niemzovitch against
Maroczy in Goteborg should be considered.
(2) The right move was B— R 3. Black was reflecting only upon that
move and used up all available time forgetting that the limit was 20 moves per
hour. Mr. Watson politely reminded me that I had no more than five seconds
left, and so I was obliged to make the four most plausible moves, which done
I had a lost position. With B— R 3 ; 18 R— R 5, P— Kt 3 ; 19R-R3, BxP,
etc., I could have won a P without any danger.
(3) Somewhat better was B— K 5 immediately.

—
(4) The energetic 26 P Q 5 ! would have decided the game instantly.
Black has against the threatening Kt x P no sufficient defence, but now
Mr. Watson was in need of time.
(5) The Kt was obliged to undertake a long journey in order to counteract
the opposing Kt. After the exchange of the Kt Black's position is better as
the White R is out of play.
(6) With this interesting manoeuvre Black wins a P or the exchange.
(7) Enforces P
— K R 3 and thereby bars the only field of retreat for the R.
(8) Better chances arise from 35 P— Q 5, KtxB; 36 QxKt, PxP;

(1) Alekhine tried this opening in several games and with success.
(2) This move is not necessary, more simple would be P — K 3, because the
P is untenable in any case.
(3) Bogoljubow played P
— B 4, which is not as good as the text.
(4) Black must prevent P — K 4.
(5) Compels the Kt to return to B 3, in order to be able to attack the
Q Kt P, but Black has a sufficient answer.
(6) After this move the Black game is stragetically better.
(7) An interesting idea. The natural and simple move was B— Kt 2.
(8) White intended to prevent this move, but he was not successful.
(9) Better would have been Q
— B 4.
(iol More plausible was R — R 4 in order to keep away the White R from K 5
(11) R
— R4 was stronger even now.
(12) Nothing threatens at the moment, the move holds good only because
later Black loses much time.
(13) Loss of time, whereby White gets the Q file.
—
(14) Better would be P B 3, whereupon Black forces a draw with Kt —
Kt8 and Kt— B 6.
(15) Kt

(1) B—Q 2 is worth considering here.

(3) White has a good position, but he is playing only for a draw.

only a sound game without any effort or complication. White gives up a P
temporarily and attacks the weakly-placed Black K threatening to win a piece
with B— R 4.

(1) White pursues unusual paths. The text-move brings the game into the
Hanham variation of the Philidor where White has a move more.
(2) Something new, yet quite good.
Round Twelve 109
(3) Earlier, White's intentions were quite other than just to Castle, but
there is nothing else. The uncovered K position exacts a speedy penalty.
(4) Black exploits vigorously the weakness of the opposing Ps. White is
lost, and can make no further show.
(5) Simpler and more decisive was Kt
— Kt 4 at once.
(6) 33 . . , P x P and 34 . . , Q

(7) The simplest is always the best : Black remains with an easily won
end-game with two Ps to the good.

(1) Q — R 4 first would be preferable.
(2) White prevents B— Kt 4 which would be advantageous to Black.
(3) Black keeps to his plan and tries to achieve B — Kt 4. He does not
manage it because the pinning of the Kt has to be paid for.
(4) Forced, as Kt— Kt 4 was threatened.
(5) Very well played. White has a winning attack.
(6) To KtxB follows 22 PxP and Kt x B, &c.
(7) Mr. Reti plays the game with force and elegance Black is helpless
against the vehement attack.
(8) The only move.
(9) The point of the combination.
(10) By this White attains the possibility of getting on to the third rank
with the R. There was however no longer any adequate defence, as 28 Q — Kt 5 ch
was threatened and after the exchange of R and Q, Rx Kt. If B— Kt 4, then
28 R x B, P x R ; 29 Bx R, Q x B ; 30 R— K 8 ch and wins.

(1) This close defence

— recommended by Steinitz — gives Black a solid game
and is favoured in these days by Capablanca.
(2) After B— K2 could follow 7 BxKt, BxB; Q — Q 3 with very

good chances for White. See Game No. 91.
(3) Very good is here Kt- R 2 too, after P— K R 3 the text-move is equally
sufficient.
(4) If P-B4, P-KB4;

(PxP, is less good on account
of Q— K6ch, etc.) PxP; 15 KtxKP, Q
— B2 (it is now evident why
— —
P K R 3 was no loss of time, Kt K Kt 5 is prevented) ; 16 P— K R 3, Kt—
B 3, etc., with an even game.
(5) Black must prevent P— B 6.
(6) The move of the R is well considered, Black has already the better
game, the White Ps on Q R 4 and K 4 are weak.
(7) The 20th move had to be made immediately or Black would have
possibly played P— B 5 ! for instance, 21 QxP, Kt — K 4 ; 22 Q — K 2 !, Kt x
R ch ; 23 Px
Kt, Q— -K 1 and Black wins the exchange, but White has some
attack. The text-move is the most suitable to the position.
(8) K— R 2 is not ile on account of Kt — R 5, followed by R x P ch
and KtxPch.
(9) More natural was KtxKt; 25 Q x Kt, R— Kt 2 ; 26 R— Kt 3 !
(the only move), R x R ; 27 Px R, K — R 2, etc., with a good game.
(10)A wrong combination, better would have been Q R — R 1, for instance,

31 P— R 5, P— Kt 4 ; 32 P— Kt 3, B— K 3 ; 33 R— K B 1, Rx Kt ; 34 Px R ch,
KxP. etc.
(11) Decisive, there is no more help for Black.

(3) A fine sacrifice which Black could not accept, because after 15.., Qx
KtP; 16 R— Kt1, QxRP; 17 B— Kt 5 !, Kt— B 3 ; 18 R—R 1, Q moves ;
19 K R — Kt 1, the Black Q has no move and after 17. ., Q — K 2 : 18 B— B 6,
R— Kt 1 ; 19 Kt—K 5, R— Q 1 ! ; 20 Bx Kt, Bx B ; 21 Kt— B 6, Black is
obliged to resign.
(4) In consequence of this mistake the exchange is lost ; but it was already
difficult to defend the Black position because the B could not be developed.
If for instance, 17.., B— R 3, then 18 P— Q Kt 3, Q— R 4 ; 19 Kt— B 6 and wins
the B after Q x P, by 20 R—R 1.

it proves that Capablanca is not only a fine position player, but that he is also

(1) White provokes P— K R 3.
(2) To be considered also is Kt — B 3, recommended by Mr. Burn.

it4 London International Congress.
(3) Decidedly better was P

— B 4, with which move White could have enlarged
on his positional advantage, the P on Q B 4 was indirectly defended by Kt x B ;
after the text Black's position is rather better.
(4) We do not think White had taken into account this and the following
move.
(5) A very pretty combination. Black dominates the game and Alekhine
must make an effort to save himself.
(6) If B x Kt, R(R 5) — Kt 5 would follow with advantage.
(7) P x P would not be good on account of Kt — B 4 ch ; 38 B x Kt, Kt P x
B ; 39 R— Q Kt 1, K— R 3, etc.
(8) A very fine trap. Black has the better game, but a win cannot be found.

(1) It is doubtful whether this exchange Is good. Q — K 2 followed by
Q Kt — Q 2 and P— K 4 could be played.
(2) The position which Black has now attained does not show in an advan
tageous light the opening chosen by him.
(3) P— B 3 would enforce the further advance of the B P notwithstanding

Q— B 2.
(4) P — Kt 3 was worth considering.

(5) QxP is threatened.
(6) White will occupy K Kt 4 with the Queen and therefore he must make
a place for the R on the second line.
(7) The best chance for Black. The game should now have resulted in a
draw.
(8) Black was even hoping to win with Kt
— K 5 ch ! He could have attained
an entirely even game, for instance, I 33 B x Kt, P x B ; 34 Q R — B 2 !, Q — K 6 ch;
35 K— Kt 2, Q—Q 6 ! ; or II

(3) Black has in every case a bad position, but the move made ruins his

(1) R
— Kt 2 at once would have, been better. The square Q 2 should have
been reserved for the development of the Q Kt.
(2) A weakening move, but Black's position on the Q's side was so cramped
that it is difficult to suggest any satisfactory continuation. His best chances
was perhaps to play P — Kt 3, followed by B— -Kt 2 and R — K B 1, in the hope
of eventually freeing his game by P — B 4.
(3) Black had no move to save the game, as 33 Kt (Kt 4) x P ch threatened.

(1) It was better to develop first with the K Kt. After the move made
5 P— Q B 4 could follow very advantageously.
(2) Taking with the Q P would result in an even game.
(3) The natural move was Q

— Q 2. The White Q ventures too far from the
centre of the battle.
(4) An extravagant idea involving finally material loss. More plausible

was R — K 1.
(5) There is no choice left ; after any other move a piece is lost.
(6) Noteworthy here was B— K 2.
(7) Better was R — Kt 1, for B— K 1 gave sufficient defence against Q — R 5.
(8) White is lost whatever he does ; the sacrifice of the P gives the only
chance.
(9) White does not know how to continue and is merely marking time.

(1) After 6 P— K 5, Px P ;
7 Px P, Kt— Q 4, White's KP is very weak.
Better than the text would have been 6 B — B 4.
(2) White weakens his position by this advance. The correct move was
7 O—O.
(3) This gives Black the slight advantage of two Bs against B and Kt, but
if instead 10 B — K 2, then 10.., PxKt;
11 Bx P, P — K B 4, and Black would
still have had the better game.
(4) Loss of time. P— K R 3, followed by B— K 3, would probably have

led to a draw.
(5) After R
— K 1, White gets some attack by Q — B 3. The text-move
forces White to weaken his position by P — K B 4.
(6) Of course not Q x B ? because of Q — K 8 mate.

(11) Black intends K— Q 2, but cannot play this at once on account of 32
Kt — K 5 ch, B x Kt ; 33 P x B, R x P and the Bs being of opposite colour the
win would be difficult.
(12) If 35 Kt—Kt 5 ch, then . . , K— B 4, 36 Kt x R P, P— B 3 and the Knight

has no escape.

the ending is lost. An interesting end-game, well played by the Dutch champion.

Alekhine was prepared for it.

Q
4
Round Fourteen. 121
(3) This is the new move ; the Larobok gives B — Q 3, after which move
Black has a very good game.
(4) The weakness on Q 5 is unimportant, but the weakness on Q B 6 is

decisive.
(5) After P-B4
White could with 15 BxKt, PxB; 16 KtxB, PxB;
17 Q
— Kt 4 ch, K — B2; 18 Q — R5ch, "force a draw immediately or with
18 P — B 4 play to win.
(6) The White position is superior; the two Black Bs are powerful, but
the White Kts, however, rule the situation. Kt — Q B 5 instantly would not
be good on account of B x Kt followed by Q — Kt 3 and Kt — K 5.
(7) White has finished the strategical disposition of his forces.

(8) White proceeds to build up a fresh attack on the weak QB 6.
(9) Black has nothing better, for P
— Q B 4 does not work on account of
Q-R 3-
(10) Black now threatens P — Q B 4.
(11) Hastily played. The simple R — K 5 would have maintained the advan
tage.
(12) White wishes to prevent Black's counter-combination and thinks the
moves made forced, but now a surprise follows.
(13) Black calculated more accurately and has obtained a strong position.
He threatens R — K 2 as much as B x P and White cannot prevent either of them.
(14) After 32 RxB, Black wins with Q x R ch ; 33 K— R 2, Q — R 5 ch ;
34 K — Kt 1, R— K 1! Nor was the text-move sufficient.
(15) The players agreed a draw without playing further. Black has per
petual check and — considering his bad position before — he was satisfied. It
is curious that the position is lost for White : 33 K — B 1, Q — R 6 ch ; 34 K — B 2,
Q— B 6ch ; 35 K— Kt 1, Q— Kt 5 ch ! ; 36 K — B 1 (with K— R 2 White loses
the BP too), R — Bi !; 37 QxRch (by White's playing otherwise mate
follows), QxQ; 38 Kt— B 5, Q— R6ch and then P— B 4.

(1) A trap. If Black takes the Kt P, B— K 4 would follow.

(2) B — Q 2 would be better. After this move White could have secured
the position of his Ps on the Q side. After the move in text Black gets the
advantage.
(3) White overestimated his position, chiefly the strength of his two Bs,
but after the following plausible move, he quickly sees his error.
(4) P— Q Kt 4 was threatened and after B— B 1, Kt — Q 4, etc.
(5) White's position is not to be saved, he loses his Ps, one after another,
and further explanation is superfluous.

however, castled early in this game, which seems the only hope of salvation
in this questionable innovation. In the game under review if Black had now
castled instead of making the move in the text, he might, at any rate, have put
up a good fight by subsequently Kt — K 1 followed by P — B 3.

(1) Resulting from this continuation Black has for a long time a difficult
game. Better is the more usual continuation 8. ., P — KR3;
qB — R 4, R — K 1,
and if then 10 B—Q 3, PxP; 11 BxP,
Kt— Q 4 ; 12 BxB, 13O— O,QxB;
KtX Kt ; 14 Kt Px Kt, P— Q Kt 3 with B— Kt 2 and so on.
(2) With this strenuous move Black equalises. It could have been neutralised
by Reti playing 10 B— Q 3.
(3) For this exchange there was no reason. 13.., Q— K 1 seems better.
(4) This exchange is a mistake. 15.., P— B4 was the right move.
(5) With this and the following move the Black Q wing is fixed and White's
attack on the K side proceeds without resistance.
(6) After 32. . , B— B 4 would follow : 33 P— Kt 4, B— R 2 ; 34 P— B 5.
(7) I* 33". BxP; 34 RxB!, RxR; 35 R

that the sacrifice of the exchange offers still the best chance against White's
threatened B— O 3.

(1) Black avoids the stereotyped variations, but we think, it was preferable
to play the Caro Kann defence, whereby Black has more room than in this
variation of the French.
(2) The only possibility of getting the Q B into play.
(3) The game is probably even, but Black had chances on account of the
strong Kt on Q 4 ; the move in text is faulty, for it lets the White B in, better
was Kt — Q 4 and against Q — R 6 Black must be content with a draw.
(4) A great mistake, which loses instantly, but White's position is already
somewhat to be preferred.

(1) The B's development is premature, it was better to prevent the possi
bility of exchange by P— K R 3. On this move an attack on the K side might
also have been based.
(2) White is already in difficulties, his King has no security, the move in
text is rather a defence against Q — R 6 than an attack.
{3) The Italian master plays very cleverly and his position is decidedly
more advantageous ; White has no attack, though his pieces seemingly occupy
dominating positions.
(4) The K's move makes an interesting counter-attack possible, compara
tively better was R — B 4, etc.
(5) This move gives no defence. Somewhat better was R — R 3 followed
by B— B 1.
(6) White has gained a P. The free B P however, is in favour of Black.
(7) Loss by RxR was threatening.
(8) P
— Q 6 was here to be considered, after the move made in the game
Black should win.
(9) Black, being pressed for time, misses the correct continuation. After
47. ., R
— K 7 ! White cannot be saved.
(10) An interesting turn 1 Black runs into a mating position. A superfluous
check destroyed the fruits of the previous hours.

(1) Black opened the game very badly, earlier he should have played Kt
—
K B 3 in order to force Kt — Q B 3. White's move is very strong, it impedes
P — Q 4 and breaks up the Q B diagonal.
(2) A blunder. Black remembered that Kt — K Kt 5 could be played, but
he did not know that it should not be made in this position.
(3) Black has lost a P, and has a bad game otherwise. The game is decided.

(1) The fianchetto development of the K B is the strongest answer against
the Hollandish defence. White has a comfortable game and Black must be very
careful if he will avoid disadvantage.
(2) Alekhine wanted only a draw to secure the second prize, or he would
surely have tried to complicate the game.

(1) The P was not to be taken, because Black would gain material with
B4. The move in text develops the White forces very quickly.
(2) Black's game is no longer good, after B
— Kt 2 the Black K's position
remains undefended.
(3) Hasty ! The most simple manner to decide the game was B— Q 5 !
for instance : 14. . , R— Q Kt 1 ; 15 B— B 6 ch, K— B 1 ; 16 Kt — B 3, R— Kt 3 ;
1 7 Kt — Q 5, RxB; 18 RxB and the Black position is hopeless.
(4) Rubinstein now plays very strongly and succeeds in getting some
advantage, but his subsequent efforts are fruitless on account of his opponent's
energetic resistance.
(5) After QxRP follows simply B— Q 2.
(6) Now Black obtained the better end-game and White has great difficulty
to save the game.
(7) All very beautifully played by Yates, the B however, proves itself
in the end-game stronger than the Kt.

THE SUBSIDIARY TOURNAMENTS.
/COMMENCING Monday, August 7th, 1922, no less than six other

Tournaments started, consisting of the
Major Open,
Minor Open,
Women's Open,
First Class,
Second Class, and
Third Class.
These events with the Open British Championship which was not
run in 1922 comprise the British Chess Federation Annual Congress.
This was so arranged as to run concurrently with the final two weeks
of the Masters Event.
The first of these events assumed quite an International character

and was won by Mr. R. P. Michell.
A complete score table is given below and one of Mr. Michell's

games as well as other specimens follow.
The Minor Open was won by Dr. Vajda of Hungary.
The Women's Open Tournament which only included one foreign

competitor was won by Miss E. C. Price who also secured the British
Ladies' Championship.

5 ch 1
(1) Played with an eye to the risky P sacrifice which

follows, My opponent
said afterwards that Castles was the best move.
(2) I rather expected him to take the second P ; but he wanted to get the
Q back to Q 4.
(3) This defensive move is also attacking ; because, in addition to R x P.
R — Q 1 is threatened.
(4) If R x P, the reply B
— B 3 would win for Black.
(5) Played under time pressure. I expected 20 . . , B — B 3, when I intended

to play 21 P — B 3, and to take one of the Ps after the Black Q moved. If Black
played 21. ., BxP in answer to 21 P — B 3, the reply would be 22 Rx P ; and
if then 22 . . , B x P ; 23 R — B 8 ch, R x R ; 24 R x R ch, K— K 2 ; 25 Q— B 7 ch
K— B3; 26 RxR, QxR; 27 Q x P (B 4) ch, followed by Bx B.
(6) 29 RxB, QxQ; 30 Rx Rch, K— K 2 ; 31 K R— K 7 ch, Q x R ; 32
R X Q ch, K x R ; 33 BxR was the quickest way to finish. (Editor) .
(7) Loses at once ; but there was not much hope left anyway.
(8) For, of course, if 34 . . , KxR ; 35 B — Kt 4 ch will reduce the game to

an easy Pawn-ending win.

Selected Games with Annotations, Diagrams, etc.
A selection pom the Press Opinions : —

Mr. AMOS BURN in
" THE FIELD." — A fine and well-annotated selection of Pills-
bury's gameswill be found in this volume. We congratulate Messrs. Sergeant &
Watts most heartily on the excellent book they have presentedto the chessworld.
Mr. H. C. GRIFFITH in "THE BRITISH CHESS MAGAZINE."— We can strongly
recommendthe book to all students of the"
game who wish to obtain an attacking
style, in contrast to the " wait and see policy of many of the modern masters.
" THE AMERICAN CHESS BULLETIN."— " Pillsbury's Chess Career " will place
Americans under lasting obligations to the publishers and the joint authors who
have done their work well both in the annotation and the selection of the games
" NEW YORK EVENING P03T."— A fitting memorial to the genius of the American
master. A most acceptab'e addition to the literature of chess.
" THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE."— A splendid tribute to the American genius.
"THE CHESS AM ATEUR." — This is a valuable publication, neatly printed and bound
with plentiful diagrams and adequate notes. It deservesa place in every chess
library.
Mr. A. GUEST in
" THB MORNING POST."— The authors' notes are efficient and
helpful.
Mr. I. GUNSBERG in "THE DAILY TELEGR APH."— The collection is doubly valuable
as it affords a review of the play of the world's best players.
" THE DAILY NEWS."— It is a fine work which deservesthe attention of all players.
Mr. BRIAN HARLEY in " THE OBSERVER."— This book is a worthy memento
of a phenomenal genius.
Mr. A. J. CONDE in
" THE PEOPLE." — This book can be recommended as every
bit value for money.
Mr. W. P. MoBEANin
" THE REFEREE." — The authors have rendered a great service
to the modem chess enthusiast, every care has been taken to ensure accurate
analysis and annotation.
"
Mr. F. D. YATES in THE YORKSHIRE POST."— The annotations have been under
taken with great careand the book is a welcomeaddition in the library of important
chess books.
Mr. A. J. MACKENZIE in " BIRMINGHAM POST."— The volume is nicely got up and
the annotations have been exceedingly well compiled. If a player has chess in
him at all there is nothing better likely to improve the talent than playing through
a good collection of well annotated gamesof a gifted master like Pillsbury.
And numerousothers.
