The following brilliantly played game between J. S. Morrison, of Toronto, Canada, and Eduard Lasker, the Western champion, occurred in the Western championship tournament. The opening was played on well-known and conservative lines. On the thirteenth move Lasker started an attack on the King's wing, but this was well met by the White forces. On the thirty-third move White in his turn attacked and in brilliant fashion finally forced Black's resignation. Our readers will find great pleasure in the final wind-up.
The following fine problem was composed especially for this column. Considering the comparatively few pieces the key move is well concealed and will we are sure for some little time baffle even our skilled solvers.
