CHESS AND CHECKERS BY WALTER PENN gHlPLEt- The Hastings tournament ended early In January, Salo Flohr, of Prague, capturing first place and Isaac H. Kashdan, the brilliant young Manhattan player coming In second. Neither Flohr or Kashdan lost any games. Flohr won 7 and drew 2, while Kashdan won 8 and drew 3. We are advised that an International tournament Is expected to be held in London next month and that among the participants will probably be Dr.
Alekhlne, Salo Flohr and Isaac Kashdan, A successful tournament is now being held at the Mercantile Library. Sydney T. Sharp, who In the past has held many times the champlon- snip 01 tne mate 01 Pennsylvania, as well u the championship of the Franklin Chess Club and the Mercantile Library Chess Club, is one of the participants. Jacob Levin, for merly one of the strong University of Pennsylvania players, and Barnie F Wlnkelman, one of the strongest piayers or tne Mercantile Library, are also contestants. We give this week a well-played game between Gordon and Wlnkel man in this tournament.

(a) The position reached after Black's tenth move Is Identical with the position in the game Dr. Laskcr (White) vs. Edrard Lasker (Black) contested in the sixth round of the New York International Tournament of 1924, with the exception that White, in place of having his Pawn at Queen's third had played P-KR3 and for his eleventh move White (Dr.
Lasker) continued with P-Q4, Black replying with B-Q2. Alekhine in his notes to the game considered that Black's Pawn at KR3 was essential to prevent the un pleasant pinning of the Knight had Black continued with B-KKt5. In the game just mentioned be tween the two Laskers, White on the twenty-fifth move was a Pawn to the good and by the thirty-seventh move had reached a winning position. The ex-world's champion failed to find his strongest continuation for his thirty-seventh move and the game officially ended in a draw due to Edrard Laskers' exceptionally fine play in the ending. Our readers will be well repaid in playing this unusual game.
Black at his 92d move had reached a posi tion wnere no nao King, K00K and Fawn against White's King and Knight and yet the game was a forced draw. Problem No. 2827 is solved by B-Q7. . Problem No.
