This game is interesting, as it introduces Charousek in the role of exponent of the modern school withsober insistence on a queen's side attack culminating in a pawn hunt and the "Black owing to the material loss with which he is threatened.

Makovetz is so fine a player that his failure to realise the weakness of his QB4 makes Qiarousek's early ciation of the fact doubly creditable. A brilliant encounter, in which the distinguished Russian Master is a victim 1. 2. 3. 4.

Black cannot dispute possession of this file. (e) This and the subsequent neglect of the QP involve the loss of the game. HERR STEINITZ AT WORK AGAIN.

J. Sewell (the well-known dog doctor), Dagonet," Mr. George Candy, Q.C., Miss Marie Corejli, and a host of other eminent authorities, that the order as it now. stands, is cruel and unnecessary, and we therefore pray you to rescind it.".
