SELECTED GAMES
The score of the first game of the recent match between Bogoljubov and Dr. Euwe. The latter pushed the attack, but he was unable to penetrate the well-planned defense of the former Russian champion. The game ended as a draw.

In the Marshall Chess Club's championship tournament, A. E. Santasiere, the New York State champion, has been desperately striving to overcome the lead of H. Ransom Bigelow, of Port Washington, N. Y., but to date his efforts have been of little avail. The latter has scored two and one-half games more and lost two and one-half games less. We present a sample of his energetic measures by reproducing the score of his game with McCudden:

NOTES BY A. E. SANTASIERE
(a) PxKP is probably better. Then P-KR3, N-R3; PxP; BxP, Castles.
(b) What care we about castling?
(c) Best. If RxP; QxPch, followed by B-Q3.
(d) Best. If R-B; RxPch K-N, B-R7ch, K-B2, Q-B3ch, K-K2; RxN, RxR; Q-B6ch, etc.
(e) Neither R nor B can be taken. If KxB; Q-Q3ch leads to a mate.
(f) Time pressure.
