The notes are abbreviated from those of Alekhine. We give the game for the benefit of our readers interested In the Queen's Oambit Declined as a fine illustration of how two great masters handle this opening. Queen's Oambit Declined WHITE . BLACK A.

HV WALTER PEJN (e) We now realize the Idea conceived by Black a fusion of the new defensive svstem (....P-QR3) witji the old system ....PxP and .... Kt-Q4) In the hope of thus profiting by the wakening of the Square QKtS created by the advance of White's QRP. (f) This move, .which goes againit the general principle of not opening up fresh lines to a better-developed opponent, is dictated by the wish to eliminate White's troublesome Pawn on KB5. White, who has not yet Castled, can scarcely oppose this plan, and the game speedily assumes a most animated appearance. (g) Forced, for if 14 Castles, then 14.... PxP and 15....Kt-Kt3.
(h) This Pawn sacrifice Is the only way to keep the initiative. i If 16.... BxP; 17 QKt-Kt5, P-KKt3 (forced, since If 17 . ..Kt-B.sq, White wins by 18 B-Q3); 18 KR-Ksq. Kt-B3: 19 P-KKt3.Q-Q3; 20 KRQsq, Q-K2; 21 Kt-K5, with an overwhelming attack for White. ' (k) K-Bsqis stronger. (1) Threatening 25 KtxPch. (m) If Black captures the Bishop, White can mate in four moves.
No. 2825 Is solved No. 2826 is solved (a) This move, which was very fashionable since the Ostend tournaments iof 1905-7 and which had almost completely superseded the old move, 8 B-Q3, will soon become quite obsolete, for every International tournament brings a fresh and sufficient line of play for Black. (b) In my opinion better than 8....P-KR3,upon which White could have replied advantageously 9 B-B4. (c) As this Identical variation had yielded me a win the previous evening against Orunfeld, who played here 8 P-QR3, I wished to avoid fighting against the defense which I considered then, and still consider now, the best. (d) If 9....P-R3. White replied 10 B-B4 with advantage. Problem Q-KBsq. Problem Q-B2. Solutions received from Mrs. K. Adler, O. William Althen, George E. Baker. A. H. Beckman. S. B. Conver. King R.
