CHESS AND "It WALTER We give below an Interestine eame taken from the Metropolitan League tournament played recently. Whito with his seventh move adopts an interesting variation of the French Defense where he continues with 5 BxKt in place of P-K5, followed by BxB. We recentl' published an interesting game where Alekhine for the attack adopted the same line of play. Undoubtedly 5 P-K5 is the stronger line of play, but the text move leads to many complications and unless Black defends carefully is liable to obtain a powerful attack.
