NOTES.
(a) We believe Q B 3 to be more preferable here,
(b) In a more serious game, Mr, Delmar would not,
venture on this course of play, we fancy; it gi vea White
the advantage in position at once.
(c) A good deal of discussion was excited at the club
over the question whether this sacrifice lof the Q is
sound. We understand tbat the controversy resulted in
a gencr.l conviction that My. Ryan could not have with
stood the attack which followed the capture of the Q.
A somewhat careful examination convinces us that the
sacrifice is unsound, and that if White play properly,
Black fails to get an equivalent for his Q. -w - —^
(d) He cou'd here have better interposed the B at K 3,
as will be seen further on. White’s embarrassment comes
from being obliged to lose a move to free his Q R; but the
move made is good enough if properly followed.
(e> Wholly unnecessary—B B 4 was the move—for if
Black reply 22 R K 7, the following variation shows that
White wins, e. g.:
22 R K 7
23 K Kt or A
24 B Kt 3
25 P tks Q
23 QR6ch
24 Q Kt 5 ch
25 Q tks B ch
26 B tks B, and wins.
A. 23 B Kt 2, 24 Q tks B P,and wins, for when B move B
Black is under mate. Therefore he must play B tks R ch,
whereupon White recovers the R by K to B sq.
(f) He now thinks he is compelled to do what he
should have done instead of giving up his Q for the R.
B to Q 2 was his move, with the obvi jus object of play ing
it to K sq to defend his R. 1 fiHfl
(g) He could not play B K 7, on account of White’s re
ply, P tks P, Ac.
(h) Bad. and the losing move. He had two courses
open to him, either of which would have would have woa :
K to B sq, or B Q 2
