The following game, also taken from the London Field, was played by Dr. A. G. Olland in Holland in a match that he was contesting with G. J. Van Gelder, notwithstanding the unrest of the country owing to the great foreign war. Olland, who lives at Utrecht, has been considered Holland's most able player. Van Gelder is a younger man and has risen rapidly recently. Two matches were played between these masters. Olland lost the first one but won the second. The present game is the first of a third match just started.
