Rubin Fine, City College chess champion and also champion of the Marshall Chess Club, has finished his match of ten games with Herman Steiner, winning with a score of 5W to 4'.

The best continuation being 6 Q-K2, B-K2; 7 KtxKt, PxKt; 8-r-QxP, CasUes; 9 B-B4, B-Q3; Jfi-Castles, and should Bt obtain WALTER PENN the better White game. (b) In the international tournament at St Petersburg Alekhlne now continued with 7 P-B4, to which White replied with B-Kt5ch, obtaining a good game. (c) Marshall, the American champion, invested the following ingenious attack in this position: l.r. ., B-KKt5; 8 P-B4, Castles; 9 PxP, P-KB4; 10 Kt-B3, Kt-Q2. He has won some brilliant games by it, but the sacrifice of the Pawn does not seem to be quite sound. Janowski in one of his match games with Marshall played 11 B-K2, but the correct continuation is 11 P-KR3, B-R4; 12 KtxKt, PxKt; 13 BxP, Kt-B3; 14 B-B5, and White is two Pawns ahead with a fairly safe game. (d) White could now safely have played QxP, threatening mate, e. g., 16 QxP.
B-KB4; 17-QxQ, BxQ; 18 Kt-K2, B-Q6; 19 R-Ksq, but the text move, which gave Black the option of winning the exchange, was more enterprising. (e) White threatens to win by 32 P-Kt5ch, K-R4; 33 RxPch, K-Kt5; 34 P-R3ch, RxP; 35 RxR, KxR; 36 Q-Kt3, mate, and if Black had continued with 31 Q-KKtsq to protect the HP, then White replies 32 RxBP and wins.
