We abbreviate the following from a statement made recently by a British chess player In reference to his meeting Dr. Emanuel Laskeu For the past two years very little news has been received from the former world's champion. "We had the pleasure of spending recently a little time with Dr. Emanuel Lasker and of hearing him read a chapter of a book which he Is projecting on the subject, 'Conduct in Sport.' "Dr. Lasker looks well and shows no sign of yielding the slighest advantage to the chess player's great adversary.
Time. "It Is with regret therefore that one considers his fixed determination to restrain from public practice of the game. He can, however, without difficulty be persuaded to take part in discussion of variations and positions and to give his advice as to lines of play, but further he will not go. "His memory of events which occurred during his sojourn in England In the past Is vivid and his memory of dates astonishingly accurate. "Dr. Lasker is spending some little time in England, but Is now, as he says, a writer and not a chess player. "As to the publication of a book of his best games, a work for which the chess world has been waiting, he holds out hopes that someone else may accomplish the task. As far as he himself is concerned, we feel that the prospect of such a desirable publication is remote." Eugene Znosko-Barovsky has recently published an article on Tar-rasch's defense in the Queen's Gambit Decline. This defense, for years discredited, is now again being played, for instance in the game Colle-Alckhlne at Bled. The defense, as our readers may recall, runs as follows: 1 P-Q4 I P-Q4 2 P-QB4 2 P-Q3 3 Kt-QB3 3 P-QB4 The game published this week was played in the New York Chess League between Frank J. Marshall, the American champion, representing the Rice Progressive Chess Club. The game was awarded the brilliancy prize by Leonard B. Meyer, the president of the Manhattan Chess Club, Mr. Meyer making th? following statement: "I have awarded the first brilliancy prize to Frank J. Marshall.
In this game the American champion is seen at his best and the final mating combination is reminiscent of the Marshall of years ago." Our readers will appreciate Marshall's play, especially the brilliant conclusion Marshall's Queen runs around the outside of the chess board almost like a billiard ball in the hands of a champion, five successive moves of the Queen being made, concluding with mate, Marshall on his 23d move having announced mate in seven moves.

R. Bigelow (a) This Queen maneuver is always good after Black has moved P-QB3. Black should endeavor to transpose his moves in the Queen's Gambit in such a way as to allow P(QB2)-QB4 in one move (instead of the two required in this game) as an immediate answer to White's Q-QB2. (b) This variation, popular enough today, seems too slow to us. (c) Better than B-Q3. or B-K2. as It maintains pressure on the long diagonal QR2-KKt8. Problem No. 2873 is solved by Q-KBsq. Problem No. 2874 is solved by R-KB6.
