Ihave availed myself of the latest analyses contained in Part I. of Mr. Steinits’s Modern Chase Instructor, Cook's valuable Synopsis, Messrs. Freeborough and Ranken's Anciont and Modern Chee, tho Berlin Schachesitung, La Stratégie, Columbia” Chass Chronicle, Salvioli's excellent treatise, anslyses by Messrs, Osank, Gattie, and othérs, in the Chews Monthly, &o., 96 well as of many novelties in the best Hnglish and ‘American newspaper chess columns, and have been especially ‘careful to avoid all reférence to obsolete works or to the various unreliable or worthless treatises published of lato years in this, ‘country, except when 1 felt it sBeclutely necessary, in the interest ‘of the student, to point out their most glaring blundsks; so that it is hoped the present volume will fuitly represent the actual state ‘of Chess theory, and be useful to players of different classes of strength.

P—Q 8 in much better; whereas most leading experts now-t-days favour the very line of play which he censures. Modern analysis, more- over, is against him. Again, in a review of the Sook of the Inter- national Paris Chase Congress of 1878, edited by Schallopp, the Chess Monthly (p. 266, Review IV.) contains the following paragraph : “The notes on openings do not contain anything novel, but are vwery often faulty. After 1. P—K4 2, Kt—QB8 8. PBS PoKe Ki=KBS Pa 4. BPxP; Clore (White), Englisch (Black), we read: «4. KP xP seems to us more favourable for White.’ This noto sooms to us to indione that the writer's knowledge of the Vienne opening is not profound " (sic). Quite recently, moreover, this move (PXQP) is condemned. ‘by Freeborough, in the British Chess Magaziné, in his notes to ‘© game between tho author and Mason in the Isto Manchester ‘Tourney. Now, it is just this very move which is strongly reoom- amended in the International Cha Magasin, and which Stenite prefers to all others. The wonderful potentialities of the Ruy Lopez and Evans, the Bishop's, and other Gambits, and the fascination which surrounds ‘heir analysis, have inducod me to add Supplementary Tables, ‘which will be found in the Appendix. In adopting this course, I bbave been actuated by several motives; firstly, in tho interest of the Chess student, I have deemed it best to ad an analysis of many interesting, but lees important, lines of play omitted from ‘the main Tables ; secondly, I have considemd it a duty to point ‘out many of the blunders of the Handbuch and other authors, in order to prevent the public from being misled by failty or careless. rarrace. ’ ‘analyses; and, lastly, I have thought it wisest to anticipate the dvarso criticism of eaptious critics, at all times eager to distinguish ‘themselves at an author's expense by their loud denunciation of any similar omissions, or real or fencied mistakes. Thave devoted special attention to the Evans Gambit Declined and the Vienna Game, and venture to hope that my analyses of the latter opening will compare favourably with those of any single author yet published in any language. Tam indebted to Mr. Muller for several valuable improvetnents ‘on the lines of play indicated by the Handbuch end Ancient and Knight's Game and the Gambit 5 leo to Mr. J. G. Cunningham for some anslyses of the Algaier Gambit. But, as I have received no other assistance whatever in the com- lation of the great bulk of the present work, or in the arduous task of seeing it through the press, I must crave the indulgence of my readers for any slight oversights or mistakes, several of which -will be found rectified in the Appendix.

He has the advantage of some years in time of publication over other authors, and of this sdvantage ho has availed himself. In the Preface he claims to have made use of the latest analyses ‘contained in the Schachseituny, City of London Chet Magazine, Chess Players’ Chronicle, American chess journals, &c. He tttends ‘well to the promise made in the Preface to point out Mr. Wormald’s mistakes, as we find his name repeated on a great many pages of the work, and always in connection with some inferior variation of an opening. This, of course, is all the better for readers, and should not cause complaint. ‘The claims of the author as to novelties seem to be justified by an examination of the work. ‘We could find plenty of other points for comment and illustration, ‘and still more for approval, did we not feer to try the patience of ‘our readers. We therefore close by recommending to their favour- able consideration this, the latest, and, we believe, a very fair and reliable, exposition of the chess opgnings.” NB.—Sach are 4 fow only of the favourable eviews of the fret edition of the proseat work, whioh received the highest praise from the best authorities.

THE TWO KNIGHTS’ DEFENCE. ‘Tans offshoot of the Grvo0o Puaxo, although briefly notiood by several of the earlier writers on chess—by Gianutio in 1597, Salvi in 1604, and Greco in 1619—hea novor been seriously analysed until Lieutenant Von Bilguer, the originator of the German Handluch, directed attention to its resources. According to that work, it is first mentioned by a fourth Tialian author—Polerio—in 1590, Now, after the lapse of three ‘centuries, some remarkable discoveries, which completely revolutionise the theory of certain branches of the opening, by strengthening the attack in some variations and upsetting it in others, have been made by Mr. Steinite; and their result in the main is to confirm the opinion we cxprossed in our frst edition (p. 114), «that the Two Kxicwrs’ Draxor fs unsound; and ought to yield the first player a decided advantage.” Bteinite's new defence in the Modern Chess Instructor of 5. to RixP the old Frosreszo (tied liver) of Polerio and Gisnutio, in vogue three ‘hundred years ago in Italy, appears to demonstrate theoretically the ‘unsoundness of the old time-honoured attack of 6. KtxBP for White fgainst the best defence (we Table CVL), though by 6. Q—R5 White ‘oan obtain at least an equal game, In praétical play, however, the Two Kmoure’ Devexce will be found exooodingly dificult in many forms of the débit, Steinite defines it as a counter attack, which, being go early instituted, ought to be disadvantageous to the second player on principle, and tho same may bo said of tho Psnsorr defonco. It may be pointed cout thst many variations in the Two Kisomns’ Drrexox are brought about by a transposition of moves in the Sootch Gambit and Danish Gambit. ‘Tm rwo xmoHTs' DEYExcR. us TABLE XCIX, 4 POR4 — LKLKBS AB BOBA | LILES | BPX? vat OF RR Pat Oe GEAR = PXP =e PB 1 2 8 4 8 anak?!

In Table CXL, column 1, 8 P—Q4 is given by Alapin as White's best move, ‘nd it is unquestionably superior tothe old coup 8. B—QB4, to which Black may safely and advantageously reply with 8 In ‘may safely igeously reply the lato New York Tournament, Weiss adopted the defence 8, J KBs ‘against Techigorin in two important games, both of which were drawn.

Most modem suthorities, in- luding the Handiuch, confirm the verdict of the Academy of Chess at Naples, which doclarod itself in favour of tho defence more than thro and a half centuries ago. Philidor was of opinion that the most correct defence might draw but could not win, whilst Lolli maintained ‘the contrary. As Frecborough and Ranken rightly observe, “the pro- ‘gress of analysis has been more satisfectory for the defence than the Attack.” We sce, therefore, no reason to modify tho opinion wo ox- pressed sixteon years ago, that the King's Knight's Gambit is not 90 strong as the King's Bishoo’s Gambit, notwithstanding the adverse ‘opinion of the Atheneum, whose Chess Reviewer at that time was neither a master nor a theorist, and displayed profound ignorance of hhis subject. Lewis also rightly condemned this Gambit. 48 ‘THEORY OF THE CHESS OFEXTNGS. ‘TABLE OXXIX, BKeKBS = ARBAB. Canton En 1 2 8 4 6 ‘8.

Van der ‘Linde conjectures, from the MS. of Polerio, that the move of 6. ‘which constitutes the Salvio defence, was the invention ‘KE-KBS of the celebrated Portuguese player, Santa Maria, whose works un- fortunately have not come down to us. At the time the first edition of the present work was published, it was generally considered that the Salvio attack, commencing with 6. Kt-K65 was the only correct procedure for the first player. But the able analyses of Herr Ceank, of ‘Vienna, tend to show the new defence of 6. to be 80 E058 strong and to offer so many chances, thet a win for Black is the rule ‘and s draw the exception ; and the Salvio, being thus reduced to the defence in a difficnlt postion, must be termed problematical and of inforior value. 156 ‘THEORY OF THE CHESS OPENIGS.

The critic of the Atienaum declared the author to be “ignorant of Chess for expressing the foregoing opinion of the siréngth of the Bishop's Gambit in 1874. Recont analyses, however, by the first German ‘and Italian masters (1ce Tables OLXIL., OLXIIL, CLXTV., and CLXV. of the present work [embodying some of the best illustrations of this soit from gamnes ii the Breslou Tourney of 1689 between Metger, ‘Termasch, and others)) superabundantly prove the author to have been right and his critic wrong. Sneh is the ineompetent Chess criticism of the Atheneum ! In the Bilguer Counter Gambit 8. some experts disapprove ra ‘of the advance of the White Pawn to K 6 on the 10th move (we ool. 8, 184); but there is a wide divergence of opinion among the sutho- 8 to which is Black's best 10th move in reply to 10. K—Kteg. 5 Rosenthal prefers 10. ‘while Salvioli inclines to 10, P—Kt 6, Gis, ~~ Again (tee p. 191, Table OLXIX., col. 1), Salvioli, in opposition to the Handtuch, says that White can get the better game by 8. Q—Keq instead of 8. Q—K2. Where such eminent authorities entertain such diametrically opposite opinions, we do not, in most eases, presume to decide; but give both continuations, leaving tho student to form his own opinion; but wo and Salvioli are moro reliable, as a rule, than the tee ‘TmEORY oF THE CHESS OPENINGS.
