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.
