(a) This move and the following were well meant, and, had it not been for White's attack, would have gained the exchange. (b) The best move would have been to have taken Kt. with R., and upon B. taking R. to would have moved K. to corner. White, however has the best game. GAME DCCCXXVI.

In a former number of the present volume we alluded briefly to Mr Schulten's variation on the ordinary method of carrying out the attack in this favourite opening, by simply playing the Q. B. to Q.'s second at the eleventh move. The following analysis of the move in question, the conjoint production of Messrs Schulten and Stanley, of the New York Chess Club, has since appeared in the sporting paper of New York, called The Spirit of the Times.' |
