The B. C. M., in noticing the Winter-Wood problem calls attention to a problem by J. Pierce, pub blished in Chess-Chips, 1878, and says: "Had the Judge known of the existence of the Pierce position, we feel sure that some other problem would have taken the prize." The B. C. M., however, does not believe that Mr. Winter-Wood knew of the old problem.

(a) Winawer hardly ever misses an opportunity to double a Pawn, hence this exchange in preference to P-Q 4.

(b) This isolates the K P, but he subjects himself thereby to a vehement attack.

(c) The sacrifice of the Kt which he threatened is no longer feasible after Black's last move: 21 Kt x P, Kt x Kt; 22 B x R P, R-KR 8.

K-K 5 K-K 6 (must) Solved by M. W. H., University of Virginia; the Rev. I. W. B., Bethlehem, Pa.; C. R. Oldham, Moundsville, W. Va.; M. M., Worcester, Mass.; the Rev. G. D., New Orleans; the Rev. J. G. L., Walhalla, S. C.; C. Q. De France, Lincoln, Neb.; W. W. S., Randolph-Macon System, Lynchburg, Va; J. E. Wharton, Sherman, Tex; G P., Winnipeg, Can.; W. C. W. R., Boyce, Va.; W. J. Leake, Richmond, Va.; L. A. Gouldie, Brooklyn, N. Y.

Comments: "A genuine masterpiece "-M. W. H.; "Finely spun "-I. W. B.; "I have great admiration for this, from the fact that it seems the Kt (Q4) must move. and also the surprising position after Kt-B 5 mate "-M. M.; "A profound key followed by a charming variation"-G. D.; "Not very difficult, but interesting "-J. G. L.; "Not half as easy as it looks"-W. W. S.; "Difficult, and as smart as it can be "-J. E. W.; "Very fine. Thought it was unsound "-W. J. L.

This is a very remarkable problem: first, it looks necessary to stop the K from going to B 6; second, the key-move seems to take the B entirely out of play, and third, hardly anything could be finer than the mate by Kt-B 5. The Chess-editor of The Nebraska Independent informed us that, when he published it, only one person, Dr. Dalton, solved it.

In addition to those reported W. J. Funk, Brooklyn, got 551; W. W. Stevens, B.A., Youngstown, O., 565; Prof. M. A. T., Woodberry Forest High School, Orange, Va., 567.

(d) His only move. Kt-Kt sq would prove moves? If so, then for you the New York Clipper fatal because of 22 B x R P.

(e) If Q--Q 2, then 25 B-B 6.

(f) To arrive at a true appreciation of the situation one must bear in mind that Steinitz had to win this game at all hazards, as a Draw would have left Winawer sole winner of the first prize. To accomplish this task seems next to impossible. But few Chess-players would take White for choice, as Black is on the defensive and dare not play to win the Pawn:

Q-R 8 ch 28 Q-B 3 ch K-Kt sq Qx RP 29 R-R sq Kx B Wins the Queen. In this predicament Steinitz formed one of the most profound and ingenious combinations on record, of which the above is the initial move.

(g) With the position perfectly even, to say the least, with to all outward appearances nothing at all threatening, why should not White exchange Queens, when a Draw means first prize? But that was just what Steinitz had expected, desired, and figured upon.

(h) A thunderbolt from out the blue! White can not help his Pawns being broken up; the goal within reach vanishes away, and he has to struggle anew, with defeat staring him in the face.

(i) Black never relaxes. R-R 4 were decidedly inferior.

[blocks in formation]

(1) White is limited in the choice of his moves, which threaten to become exhausted. The above is not good, for the reason that all his Pawns are on squares bearing the color of the hostile Bishop.

(m) The fruit is not ripe yet. Bx P? 44 B-Q 3. (n) No use trying to defend the Pawn; 46 B-Kt 6, P-Q 4.

(0) Black is in no hurry to capture the Pawn, as it can not be saved.

(p) At last he reaps the reward for his grand combination, initiated a score of moves before. The game is now won without further difficulty,

FOOD CURE.

Nature's Way to Regain Health.

A man may try all sorts of drugs to help him to get well, but after all the "food cure" is the method intended by Nature.

Anyone can prove the efficacy of the food cure by making use of the following breakfast each morning for fifteen or twenty days.

A dish containing not more than four heaping teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, enough good, rich cream to go with them, some raw or cooked fruit, not more than two slices of entire wheat bread, and not more than one cup of Postum Food Coffee, to be sipped, not drank hurriedly. Let this suffice for the breakfast. Let one meal in the day consist of an abundance of good meat, potato, and one other vegetable.

This method will quickly prove the value of the selection of the right kind of food to rebuild the body and replace the lost tissue which is destroyed every day and must be made up, or disease of some sort enters in. This is an age of specialists, and the above suggestions are given by a specialist in food values, dietetics and hygiene,
