NOTES. a This ia a mistake. The effect ia to prevent Black cashing and otherwise hamper tha game. This looks like the Iobb of a move, bat Mr Longwill thoaght it advisable to force the advance of K B P. c This move seema to us donbtfol, »a It permits White to captnre the K P, no doubb at the cost of a piece, bat gttning two pawns and a commanding position. We give a diagram. d Here it would, we think, have been stronger to have played Q R— K eq e White was aware of this, bat thoaght the position wa3 strong enoagh to warrant the exchange: Here it would appear that neither Q nor R can take the P. If Q x P then R x P ch stems fatal. If Rx P and R x P cb, and if Black Q x R, White mites in a few moves, beginning Q x R ch. If, how ever, on R x P ch, R— B 4, then Q— B 7 ch, and if K— R 5 thpn B— B G ch, R x B, P— Kt 3 ch, K— R 6, R-R 5 ch, and I mates next move.
