Don'ts for the Chess Players By H. T. BLAND Don't haver over a piece you are thinking of moving. Don't touch it gingerly as though you are afraid it will explode. Keep your paws away from the board until you have made up your mind what move you are going to make. Then make it and have done with it. Don't make excuses for losing.
You may have had a deacMron game and then made the fool move; serves you right to lose. Don't hum tunes or whistle under your breath while you are playing. Such irritating mannerisms show your bad "broughtin's up." Don't talk in a loud tone of voice and lay the law down at the club. You may be a good player, but you are not the only one. Don't shy at an opening you don't know in practice that is take it and try to bottom it.
Don't be like the man who knew-only two tunes. Don't content to be a "woodshifter." Try to be an artist. If you have the pull in a game and can win by "swapping off," try if you can't do it in a more graceful way. This applies only in a friendly game. la a match don't indulge ni frills.
Do you damnedest. 1 Don't have moves back or let your opponent have them back. It leads to a sloppy style of playing. Don't refuse to accept odds from BLACK a better player. That Is not fair to your opponent.
Ther is no fun or excitement for him in playing you on level terms. Don't drag on a game when you naven t "an earthly chance." Give it "up and start another. After you have Decn iairiy and sauarely out-played what satisfaction is there in saving your bacon by a slip on the part of your opponent? The first three games are from the exhibition given m New York on elec tion day. The following two are from the exhibition given in Connecticut by Alekhine: Here is a beautiful end-game which has fooled many an expert chess player. It is not easy to see how to win but very simple to comprehend after studying the moves.
A Vise man, said Seneca, is provided for occurrences of any kind; the good he manages, the bad he vanquishes; in prosperty he betrays no presump tion, and in adversity he feels no despondency. f 1 ffl p m in at.
