(by which you would be prevented Castling), or interpose a Pawn disadvantageously.
| WHITE. | BLACK. |
| 4. K. B. to Q. B. s 4th. | 4. B. to K. R. s 5th. Ch. |
| 5. P. to K. Kt.'s 3rd. | 5. P. takes P. |
Your safest move is, perhaps. 5. K. to B.'s sq.
| 6. Castles. | 6. P. takes P. Ch. |
| 7. K. to R.'s sq. | 7. K. B. to his 3rd. |
This is a singular position : and at first sight you will be startled at your deficiency in Pawns. On looking deeper into the game, however, you will find that your pieces are admirably disposed for attack, and that the greatest possible care will be required from Black to parry it.
| 8. K. Kt to K.'s. 5th. | 8. B. takes Kt. (best). |
| 9. Q. to K. R. 5th. | 9. Q. to K.'s 2nd (best). |
Observe the powerful attack you have got upon his K. B.'s P.
| 10. R. takes K. B.'s P. | 10. Q. to her B.'s 4th. |
He moves thus to avoid your winning his Q. by the Discovered Check, and to threaten you with Check-mate.
| 11. R. to K. B.'s 8th. | 11. K. to his 2nd. |
Giving Double Ch.
| 12. P. to Q.'s 4th. | 12. Q. takes B. |
| 13. Q. to K.'s 8th. Ch. |
And afterwards taking the Bishop, you must win.
GAME III. — THE SALVIO AND COCHRANE GAMBITS.
Like the opening just examined, these are, properly speaking, defences to the King's Gambit, rather than Gambits themselves.
