THE CHESS-PLAYER'S

VARIATION III.

Beginning from Black's 7th move :—

Again set up the Pieces as in the Diagram, and play up to the 7th move : but on Black's side, instead of R. to Q.'s 8th. move—

WHITE. BLACK.
7. K. to B.'s sq.
8. B. to K.'s 5th. 8. K. to Kt.'s sq.
6. R. to K. R.'s 4th. And you win evidently.

From the foregoing Variation you may form some notion of the beauty and difficulty of this problem, but they form but a very small portion of the multiplied combinations which spring from it, and with which you must be acquainted hereafter.
