EVIDENCE FOR THE EVANS.
Stasch Mlotkowski, the well-known Quaker city chess player, who is now residing in Los Angeles, has always been an ardent defender of the Evans Gambit, in spite of the fact that no less a critic than Dr. Emanuel Lasker has declared the opening “shelved” by a certain defense of his own, which, by the way, appears in this very game. Although the Philadelphia expert has not of late actively participated in chessic frays, he was, nevertheless, persuaded to represent his adopted city in a recent telegraph match between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Dr. Lovegrove, who ranks among the strongest players of the latter city, was pitted against Mlotkowski, and the encounter resulted in a very instructive Evans Gambit, wherein the doctor introduced a novel and hitherto unanalyzed bit of play at his seventh move; moreover, the end-game is likewise unique, in that it is characterized by the trapping of the black Queen in an open board. We are indebted to the Brooklyn Eagle for the score; the notes are our own.
