April 21 1929

April 21, 1929. The following brilliant game was contested recently in the Philadelphia League Tournament, S. Mlotkowski playing for the Mercantile Library, while S. Drasin represented the University of Pennsylvania. The opening was an interesting form of the King's Bishop Gambit. Black at his ninth move sprang a surprise on his opponent and wound up the game in brilliant style.

(a) Q-R5ch was formerly the recognized continuation. The text move, however, is probably superior. White's eighth move being N-B3, is generally played and we believe stronger than the text move. No doubt Mlotkowski adopted the Queen move so as to take his opponent out of the books.
(b) An unexpected retort.
(c) Black now winds up the game in brilliant style.

Risking the Muzio.
Stasch Mlotkowski of Camden, N. J., is one of the few experts who will take a chance on a genuine gambit like the Muzio, for he feels quite at home amid the complications such an opening naturally brings about. In the recent match between the Mercantile Library Chess Association and the University of Pennsylvania, S. Drasin was called upon to face that debut. After regaining the piece sacrificed, Mlotkowski won out in 24 moves.
