The following interesting game was played recently by correspondence between C. E. Bauder, of Philadelphia, and the Washington Chess Club, of Washington, D. C. The notes are by Mr. Bauder:

(a) All book so far. This move for Black is said to give the defense the best game.
(b) Here Marshall vs. Tarrasch played 12. NxQB and won. He and Capablanca are now analyzing the move.
(c) If 12. … QxPch, QxQ, BxQ, NxKB and wins.
(d) 18. N-KB3 gives Black the opportunity to make a strong bid for a win by sacrificing his KR.
(e) 17. B-N3. The Columbia Chess Club had played the game to this move. Here the boys gave it up and the president, C. E. Bauder, was forced to continue. It looks like a win for Black.
(f) 17. …N-K4 threatens annihilation.
(g) 18. NxN. An attempt, by giving up the Q, to force a draw.
(h) 19. … RxBch, forced.
(i) 21. … BxP, best.
(j) 23. QR-B, Black must exchange or lose something.
(k) 25. … P-KB3, P-Q6 I think better.
(l) 26. … K-Q2. Fatal; K-N2 or P-Q6 was better.
(m) 28. N-QB. This move forces a win for White and was entirely unexpected by Black. White had it in mind at move 26. N-N7 is threatened. If K moves, the Q is lost.
(n) 29. P-R3, KR-K6, KR-K7ch, all win for White.

Below will be found a brilliant game played in the recent Junior-Mercantile Match. Bampton introduces a new attack against the Sicilian Defense, and one which, so far as we know, originated with him. White with the line of play obtains a good game, and at the same time deprives Black of all book knowledge that he may hae of the opening.

(a) This is Bampton's new attack in the opening.
(b) We believe that Black would have done better to have continued with BPxP.
(c) Beautifully played White. The sacrifice is thoroughly sound and wins the game.

An unusual mate in the centre of the board was brought about in a clever manner by C. E. Bauder, of Philadelphia, in one of the games contested in the “Digest” Correspondence Tournament, being conducted by The Standard Union. His opponent was E. Hausleiter, of Brooklyn, who, after losing a pawn in the opening, sought to recover lost ground by following Steinitz's well known maxim, “play your king.” Accordingly the white king was made to do duty on the firing line, with the result that he was gradually hemmed in and finally subjected to a checkmate administered most ingeniously by the Philadelphian. It proved what is known as a mate “by decoy.” The score follows:
