Here Black may draw whether he may have the move or not.

WHITE. BLACK.
1. K. to his 4th. 1. K. to B.'s 2nd.
(In like manner, if he moves first, he would play K. to B.'s 2nd and then, on whichever side you played your King, whether to Kt.'s 4th or K.'s 4th, he would face him in the way before shown.)
2. K. to K.'s 5th. 2. K. to K.'s 2nd.
(Gaining the opposition.)
3. P. to K. B.'s 6th. Ch. 3. K. to B.'s 2nd.
4. K. to his B.'s 5th. 4. K. to his B.'s sq.
(If he play to K.'s sq., or K. Kt.'s sq., he loses the game, as a very little consideration will show you.)
5. K. to his 6th. 5. K. to K.'s sq.
(Always retaining the opposition.)
