At the commencement of a game it is the rule to place the Black men on the squares numbered 1 to 12, and the White men on those numbered 21 to 32 (Diagram 2). This rule is imperative. It is also the rule to change pieces every fresh game with your opponent, and this necessitates the numbered board being also turned round each time (Diagrams 3 and 4).

'* Denny " in his last two matches. b — Against C. F. Barker he played 14-18 on purpose to avoid the complications arising from the move in the text, and dropped into a variation that the " Boston School " had specially " cooked " for his delectation. I have it on Freedman's own authority that he was not " coached " for this encounter by any " Glasgow Gang," as freely stated in some of the papers at the time ; but nevertheless his play in this and the next game shows that he was well prepared both for attack and defence in this opening. C — This is now a variation of the " Bristol-Cross," examples of which opening are to be found in the earliest-known literature of the game. From the Lihro Del Juego De Las Damas, a Spanish treatise on the game, published in 1650, I had the pleasure some 14 or 15 years ago of extracting the now well-known " Canalejas's Stroke " formed from this opening by 11-16, 23-18, 16-20, 24-19, 8-11, then 19-15, etc.. White wins. This had been rediscovered by the late J. Robertson, and it came as a surprise to draughts players generall}^ to find that Robertson had been anticipated by the Spanish author nearly 250 years previously. Canalejas's work, I may say, en passant, is a mine of wealth in the openings, and contains numerous " strokes " from the " Single Corner," " Souter," " Old Fourteenth," " Whilter," and other standard openings, which are commonly credited to later authors ; the end play is, however, necessarih^ different. 20 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. d — 16-20 finds most favour at this point ; 7-11 is also good. The move in the text has hitherto been regarded with disfavour as a rather weak line for Black to enter upon, and the two games played on that line in this match seem to confirm that conclusion. e — If 24-20, 7-10, 22-17, 9-13, we have the same combination as developed in the game. f — 14-18, 17-14 is a^ sound line, running into some pretty play published by the late J. Bell some 15 j^ears ago, from which I take the following excerpt : — 14-18 14 10 19-26 25 18 1-6 18 11 8-11 19 10 17 14 5-9 30 7 2-7 27 23 8-15 24 19 9-14 9-13 10 7 11-18 3 10 6-10 28 24 15-24 10 6 24 20 3-10 73 6-22 23 18 4-8 28 19 14-21 7-11 26 23 18-22 21 17 10-15 32 28 11-15 Drawn g — Spayth's Checker Player gives an interesting variation here by 27-24, 13-22, 25-9, 5-14, *32-27, drawn. If White plays 29-25 instead of *32-27, a Black win is shown by continuing 3-7, 32-27, 7-11, 26-22, 11-18, 22-15, 14-18, 30-26, 12-16, etc. J. Alexander, however, shows a neat correction of Spayth's pla}^ in the latter variation, by replying to 3-7 with 25-22, then if 7-11, 22-17, 11-18, 24-15, 10-19, 17-10, 6-15, 32-27. Drawn. h — If 2-7 is played here. White appears to have a winning ''stroke " by 28-24, 19-28, 30-26, 10-19, 17-10, 7-14, 22-17, etc. i — The game at this point is identical with a variation given in the Checker Player, brought up from the " Bristol-Cross " opening by the following order of moves :— 11-16, 23-18, 10-14, 18-15, 16-19, 22-17, 7-10, 25-22, 9-13, 30-25, 5-9, 24-20, 8-11, 15-8, 4-11, and the diagram following shows the situation : — Black White Wliite to play Spayth's continuation is as follows : — 27 23 12-19 t20 16 13-22 27 18 2-7 32 27 15-18 26 17 10-19 23 16 11-15 22 15 19-23 17 10 f Spayth gives this as the loser, and states that 27-23 wiU draw.

The following is a probable continuation : — 14-18 29 22 2-6 28 19 11-15 3 7 28-32 31 22 21 17 8-11 tl4 10 15-24 7 3 15-19 27 23 32-27 18-25 17 14 19-24 10 7 24-28 22 17 19-26 17 14 Then 1-5, and I can see nothing but a draw. tif 27-24, 19-23, 14-10, 23-27 appears to draw. m — ^The win is now assured.

The move in the text allows Black to relieve himself somewhat from the cramped position incidental to the opening after 16-19 at the fifth move. b — This varies from the International Match Games, 1899, where Halliwell played 24-20 and lost to W. Campbell by 7-11, 26-22, 11-18, 22-15, 19-23, 27-18, 14-23, etc., B. wins. Campbell adopted 25-22 against Halliwell, and a fine game ensued, resulting in a draw. C — At this point 14-18 looks sound enough on the surface, but .after 23-16, 12-19, 21-17, it becomes evident that Black's game is very much cramped, and it is questionable if he can draw. 22 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. 12-19 8-12 12-16 7-16 2-18 18-22 tl6-19 21 14 25 21 24 20 26 23 29 25 17 14 14 10 9-18 4-8 8-12 19-26 6-10 10-17 22-25 32 27 21 17 20 11 30 7 25 21 21 14 10 7 d — ^The " take " by 12-19 is equally sound, and makes an interest- ing variation.

Great historical interest attaches to this opening, which was the invention and the peculiar favourite of the late ** Herd Laddie." Since the Wyllie-Martins match of 1863 it has figured in nearly all the important contests that have taken place. One match between these two celebrities — the greatest exponents of their day — was played solely to decide the question of the soundness of a leading variation, formed as follows :— 11-15, 21-17, 9-13, 25-21, 8-11, 17-14, 10-17, 21-14, 6-10, 22-17, 13-22, 26-17, 15-18, 29-25— which had been the subject of controversy for many years previous among the leading players of the world. Imagine, if you can, the intense interest this contest aroused. Glasgow, the arena upon which the eyes of two hemispheres were fixed, eagerly watching the contest between the two most renowned gladiators in the world ! It is now a matter of history that Wyllie triumphantly established the sound- ness of his favourite combination. The games may be found in Wyllie 's *' Switcher " book (now a scarce work), and also in Gould's Memorable Match Games. The " Switcher " is undoubtedly a weak opening for White, yet in the hands of a master like the late " Herd Laddie," who had made a thorough study of its intricacies, it could, in his day, be used with telling effect, especially in exhibition play, throwing the ordinary amateur completely off his " book " knowledge. This has all been changed, however. Wyllie's ** shots " and " traps " have been widely published, his games have been made the foundation of extensive analyses, and now-a-days the ordinary '' book-player " is as well posted on that as on any of the standard openings. To come back to the present game — 9-13, 21-17 — from which I am afraid I have rambled to a tiresome length, I may say that 5-9 is a strong move at this point, which has been adopted with success in several of the Scottish Tourneys, and leads to a variety of com- binations which have not been much explored. It is therefore a good foundation for the ingenious tourney-player to work upon. The annexed example is an excerpt from the Record of the International Match Games, 1903, published by J. A. Kear, junior, an admirable addition to the standard literature of the game :- 5-9 15-24 6-13 10-15 3-7 1-6 6-10 2-9 25 21 28 19 25 18 29 25 17 14 14 9 18 15 1 6 9-14 7-11 11-15 4-8 15-19 13-17 11-18 9-13 30 25 22 18 18 11 25 22 23 16 9 5 26 23 20 16 11-15 13-22 8-24 8-11 12-19 17-21 18-27 21-25 24 19 18 9 27 20 .21 17 22 18 5 1 31-6 Drawn — Bryden v. Alexander 24 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. b — 23-18, if followed by either 12-16 or 5-9, gives Black a more powerful attack than allowed by the move in the text, and is there- fore more rarely adopted in practice. C — 15-19 is a variation known as the " Dyke-Switcher," which was much favoured b}/ the late W. Strickland, who published some interesting examples. I adopted this move with success in one oi the English Championship Tourneys, and consider it is a good line for Black, though it has not been much in evidence of late ; 5-9, as played in the next game, meets with more approval as a powerful attacking move at this point. d — This variation was, I believe, original with Dr. Yates, who adopted it in his match with Wyllie, and has been much favoured by the leading American players ever since ; it has also become recently a very popular line with our experts. Although 17-14 is generally considered safer, I have always had a preference for the move in the text. e — ^The older lines of attack are by 11-15 and 11-16, both to be recommended. The move in the text was brought into prominence by the late J. Lees some few years ago, and is considered by many to be Black's strongest play at this point. The present game cer- tainly supports that opinion, though I think White's defence is open to improvement, as I will point out at a later stage. f — ^This, I think, is White's strongest play, and is the line generally followed in recent tourney and match play ; 30-25 is considered almost untenable, though a forced win for Black has yet to be shown. g — Up to this point the game is identical with the 28th in the Barker-Jordan match, original with the late J. Lees, who gave 12-lft as Black's strongest play. Jordan played 1-5, however, against Barker, the game running on 31-27, 12-16, 27-24, 3-8, 26-23, 16-20, 30-25, 20-27, 18-15, 11-18, 23-14, etc. Drawn. Since then, no doubt, he has given the game renewed attention, the outcome being the introduction of the move in the text, which inaugurates a dangerous attack, difficult to meet. Freedman was evidently unprepared for the innovation, and therefore fell a somewhat easy victim. h — This move seems all right ; it compels Black to play 1-5, keeps his forces on that side of the board in a confined situation, and at the same time relieves White from the cramped position in which he has been held since the formation of the opening. • i — I am under the impression that this is the losing move. White was compelled to fill the " hole " on 25 (otherwise he would have lost a piece by the exchange), but 30-25 commends itself, I think, as the best move for that purpose. I give a diagram of the position, with play showing the draw. j — Possibly Freedman was under the impression when he played 29-25 that he could follow with 32-27 here and then 26-23, but saw afterwards that 16-20 spoils that combination ; for if he plays 26-23 in reply to 16-20, the " three for three " by 13-17, 22-13, 20-24, etc.. wins for Black ; and if he " cuts " 27-24, his only alternative, then follows 20-27, 31-24, 8-12, 24-19, 2-7, 26-23, 11-16, 30-26. 6-10. 21-17. 4-8, etc. B. wins.

The late J. Lees, in his notes to the Third Scottish Tourney Games, 1895, classed it as '* weak, practically untenable," and recommended 23-18 instead ; which also is the opinion expressed by the annotator of the Eighth Scottish Tourney Games, published in the Draughts World, 1901. On the other hand, so far back as 1886, the late W. Strickland considered it to be White's strongest reply to 5-9, and found it a safe defence in his match with Gardner, played in that year. R. Stewart also favours this move, and in my opinion he fully established its soundness in his match with R. Jordan in 1897. The annotators of these match games say concerning it : — " In our opinion there can be no question as to the soundness of 29-25 ; and, further, we consider it much safer than 23-18." Since then Jordan has shown his appreciation of the move by adopting it in his last two matches for the world's championship, securing a safe draw on each occasion, so that I think its soundness is now established beyond doubt. C — Stewart played this move against Barrie and Buchanan in the Third Scottish Tourney, and was successful in both games ; 15-19 was played by A. Hynd against A. Jordan in the English Championship Tourney, 1900, and proved to be not so strong ; Gardner played 8-11 against Strickland in their match, and White had no difficulty in drawing, as follows : — 8-11 21 14 11-16 19 15 16-19 25 22 13-17 17 14 4-8 26 63 11-16 23 16 3-8 26 23 9-18 24 19 8-11 14 10 12-19 22 18 19-26 23 14 15-24 22 18 7-14 95 6-9 316 10-17 28 19 16-20 18 9 2-7 30 26 Drawn d — ^After this '' break," I consider that White's position is quite equal to Black's, if not a trifle stronger. e — As played by Jordan against Stewart, and is, I think, Black's strongest move here. The annotators of these match games pointed out 12-16 as '* perhaps a shade stronger than 4-8," continuing witk 26-23. Barker adopted the 12-16 move against Jordan, to which the latter replied with 24-20, the game resulting in a draw. I am,, however, inclined to favour 24-19 in reply to 12-16, as played by Gardner against J. Hynd, in the English Tourney, 1900, as follows : — 12-16 26 10 4-8 24 19 11-15 30 26 7-11 22 18 24 19 6-15 27 24 15-24 19 10 6-15 14 10 19-24 16-23 32 27 8-11 28 19 2-6 25 21 15-19 Drawn f — Barrie and Buchanan both '* cut " 24-19 here, in their games with Stewart, in the third Scottish Tourney, which was the weak play in their defence, and led to the ultimate loss of the games ; the move in the text is much stronger. g — I can see nothing stronger for Black at these points. h — This varies from the Jordan-Stewart game, where 7-11 was played, and the ending proved very critical for Black. MATCH GAMES. 27 i — up to this point the play is identical with a correspondence game between Bownas and Donaldson, played in 1872, which was originally published in the Bristol Draughts Player, Vol. i, 1872.

It was originally intoduced by J. A. Kear some thirty years ago, in a little international match he played by correspondence with the late R. E. Bowen, of America. The late J. Bell also published some play on that line in 1882. It has since figured in several important matches, notably in the Wyllie- Jordan and Ferrie- Jordan contests. That and the move in the text may now be regarded as the standard replies to the 22-17 line of the " Denny." The alterna- tive of 14-18, pla3^ed in the Wyllie-Martins match, 1867, and later in the Campbell v. McKelvie and Jordan v. Wyllie matches, is prac- tically very inferior, though R. Jordan shows the following draw : — 14-18 6-9 5-9 7-14 18-25 1-5 11-15 6-9 23 14 23 14 26 23 24 19 29 22 18 9 28 24 Drawn 9-18 9-18 9-14 3-7 7-10 5-14 2-6 26 23 30 26 17 10 25 22 22 18 31 26 26 22 b — This is now generally accepted as Black's strongest move at this point ; but there is plenty of published play on 11-15, an alterna- tive line originated by the late J. Bell, 1882, since played in a number of important contests, generally with disastrous results for Black, until the W3dlie-Ferrie and Ferrie-Jordan matches, and the " Last Battle " between the veteran masters, Wyllie and Martins, established its soundness. C — 25-22 is sound, and often played ; but the text is considered White's strongest attack. d — 11-15, though it looks weak, may be safely played. For example : — 11-15 8-11 16-20 14-17 9-18 10-19 20-24 1-6 20 16 16 12 32 28 21 14 24 19 25 22 27 20 28 24 12-19 11-16 15-18 10-17 6-10 18-25 19-23 6-13 23 16 28 24 26 23 23 14 19 15 30 14 13 9 Drawn e — This varies from the Jordan-Stewart and Barker- Jordan games, and, so far as I am aware, is the first time the variation has figured in match-play. In the notes to the Jordan-Stewart games attention was directed to it as being " almost if not quite as strong as the text " (26-23). While it certainly has the merit of leading to a variety of original combinations, yet I think the games in the present match show it to be inferior to 26-23 as an attacking move. f — This varies from play by the late J. Lees, who gives 17-14. In the next game Jordan varied here by 26-23. g — 17-14 runs into the play given in the notes to the Jordan- Stewart games. The move in the text avoids complications, and compels Black to break up his base, but it leaves White with little, if any, advantage of position. h — ^This move was probably made to avoid the " shot " which would follow if 29-25 were plaved, viz. 18-23, 27-18, 7-10, 14-7, 12-16, 20-11, 8-29, etc. Drawn.

Barker took that line against Jordan in their match at Boston, U.S.A., and should have won. The following variation, by F. Tescheleit, originally published in the 'Northern Leader, 1890, shows a sound defence for Black : — 26 23 7-11 13 6 15-22 30 23 8-15 22 17 11-16 10-14 23 19 2-9 23 19 6-10 25 22 9-14 96 28 24 5-9 26 23 1-6 29 25 4-8 17 13 14-18 *11-15 19 10 18-22 32 28 11-16 21 17 8-11 23 7 31 26 6-15 25 18 22-26 20 11 14-21 13 9 Drawn * Stronger than 1-6, as played in the Jordan-Stewart and Barker- Jordan matches. 30 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. b — ^This move varies from the preceding game, and is, I think, stronger than 25-21, as played by Freedman. C — This exchange is weak, as I will show later ; 5-9, as played by Brown against Alexander in the international match, 1903, seems preferable, as follows : — 5-9 32 27 1-5 18 9 11-16 24 19 4-8 30 26 27 23 22-26 27 24 5-21 20 11 15-24 23 18 6-9 7-10 31 22 9-14 22 17 8-15 28 19 8-11 Drawn d — I think White's play is open to improvement at this point : 30-26 sets up an attack that Black would have found some difficulty in meeting. I append a diagram of the situation, with play, by way of illustration. e — Black has evidently had this sacrifice in view for some time past, and an examination of the position shows it to be perfectly sound, and leading to a safe draw. f— If 22-18, then, of course, follows 6-10, 13-6, 10-19, 18-15, etc. Drawn.

The opening is an old one, and was h-4d in high favour by " Herd Laddie," who played it against Anderson in their second match at Edinburgh in 1840 ; he also gave it its title. His own name is as indissolubly attached to this as to the " Switcher " opening, most of the finest examples given in the various Guides being from his practice. There has been a diversity of opinion among players as to the soundness of this opening. The great Anderson condemned it as weak, and his analysis showed more Black wins than anything else resulting from it ; but Wyllie's experience shows quite the contrary result, as he scored with the White side in match play against R. Martins, W. R. Barker, R. D. Yates, C. H. Freeman, and other renowned players. The late W. Strickland also considered it a sound debut for White, and I believe such is now the general opinion among the leading players. b — Varies from Anderson's analysis, where 32-28 is given. The text move was, I believe, introduced by Robertson in friendly practice with Wyllie, and the present game from this point to the end is a repetition of one of their games. It is also identical with the twenty-second game in the Barker- Jordan match, and is a good sound line for White.

In the second place, it is interesting to note. 24-19 brings out the iame ending as the game, as follows : — 24 19 9-14 22 18 6-13 25 18 10-17 29 25 6-10 5-9 30 25 13-22 26 17 2-6 21 14 4-8 22 17 27 23 8-11 18 9 13-22 18 14 1-5 25 22 Drawn Same as game at (i) — see diagram. f— If 6-9, 30-25, 9-18, 22-15, and White has a sound game. g — Best ; if 6-9, then 23-18 gives WT^ite the better game. h — Forcing the game. D 34 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. i — The position is now identical with a variation of the " Single* Corner," by E. A.

This position is another example of the limitation of the game. In Polish draughts, I may say, en passant, such a coincidence would be almost impossible ; that form of the game, therefore, offers a wider field for the exhibition of practical skill, its depths and variety being, as Wyllie has stated, ** profound and unfathomable as the mightj'^ ocean." I am inclined to think it is the only form of the game that will in time become international, the same as the game of chess. k— If 23-18, then, of course, follows 12-16, 19-12, 10-15, and Black should win.

C — Wyllie played 24-19 against R. D. Yates. The move in the text is credited to the late R. W. Mulholland, in the British Draughts Flayer, but was brought more prominently into notice by C. F. Barker, who scored a win off Jordan with it in their match at Boston, 1900. Since then it has come in for a great share of attention from the ex- perts and analysts, and a sound draw for Black has been demon- strated. 44 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. d — Barker's innovation, and varies from Mulholland's play, where 21-17, 13-22, 25-18, 11-16, etc., gives Black an easy game. e — In the notes to the Barker- Jordan Match Games, 10-14 is given as stronger for Black, but the move in the text is quite sound. f — Jordan took the " cut " by 15-19, etc., against Barker, and eventually lost. The move in the text was introduced by J. Maize, the Checker editor of the Pittsburg Dispatch, as an improvement of the Barker- Jordan game. It was also adopted by Cain in the English Championship Tourney, 1902, who scored a win with it from A. Jordan, of London. g — ^This varies from the game between Cain and Jordan ; the latter played 21-17. The move in the text makes the game highly critical for Black.

C — Black's strongest reply. d — This varies from the " books," but can scarcely be called an improvement, as it undoubted^ leaves White with an inferior position compared to that of his opponent. The exchange by 22-18- is preferable, though in any case Black has a powerful game after 26-23 at the fourth move. The following variation was played between the two noted American experts, A. J. Heffner and C. Freeman : — 22 18 21 14 24 20 23 16 27 23 19 15 30 21 18 15 15-22 10-17 17-21 8-12 6-10 11-16 16-19 26-23 25 18 31 26 27 24 32 27 28 24 20 11 23 16 16 12 8-11 9-13 3-8 12-19 5-9 7-16 14-30 23-18 29 25 25 22 19 16 24 8 24 19 15 10 22 18 15 11 13-17 1-6 12-19 4-11 10-14 21-25 30-26 Drawn e — It is of interest to note that at this stage the position is identi- cal with a variation of the " Kelso," but with the difference that it is White's turn to play, whereas in the " Kelso " it is Black's. This difference of one move appears to considerably weaken White's game, though 1 think 30-26 makes a better defence than the move in the text, and would very probably have drawn.

If 31-26, 9-13, 25-22, 5-9, etc., B. wins. g— At first sight, the " two for two " by 19-15 or 19-16 looks promising for a draw, but in either case Black would afterwards gain the piece on 27, and win easity.

MATCH GAMES. 47 This opening was not included in Anderson's original work, but play was given upon it in McCuUoch's and Janvier's editions. Drummond was the first author to give extended play upon it, in the Scottish Draughts Player, first edition, 1838. C— Drummond gives 12-16, 29-25, 4-8, 25-22, 8-12, 28-24, making it same as the text at (d). d — This varies from Drummond's play, where the continuation given is 16-20, 24-19, 1-5, 32-28, or 27-24,'' etc. Drawn. e — ^This position mav also be brought up by the following order of moves :— 9-14, 22-18, 5-9, 24-19, 11-15, 18-11, 8-24, 28-19, 4-8, 25-22, 8-11, 22-18, 11-16, 29-25, 7-11, but here White, instead of playing 25-22, has the option of the exchange by 18-15, 11-18, 21-17, which is preferable, and is usually taken. To return to the text, 24-20 at this point gives White a good sound game, and is, 1 think, preferable. For example : — 24^0 27 24 32 28 24 19 28 19 18 9 22 18 18 9 10-15 6-10 1-5 15-24 9-13 5-14 3-7 11-15 Followed by 20-11, 7-16, 21-17, etc. Drawn. f — ^A critical draw by 32-28 at this point has been shown by Mr. Hugh Scott, as follows : — 32 28 24 19 21 17 26 22 22 17 17 14 5 1 6 10 20-27 15-24 14-21 1-6 15-22 11-15 6-10 15-18 31 24 28 12 22 17 17 13 23 18 14 5 1 6 10 14 12-16 2-6 6-10 10-15 22-25 15-22 10-15 Drawn g — ^This varies from a game between the two American experts, Messrs.

Smith in his practice match with W. Gardner, 1888, and was for some time considered inferior to the older attack by 11-16, Some further play upon it was afterwards published in the Draughts World by the late J, Lees, which served to show that it was stronger than was usually thought ; but it was brought more prominently into notice by Jordan playing it against Ferrie in their match for the World's Championship at Glasgow, 1896, the game ending in a draw, and since then it has become quite a favourite move with the leading experts. b — The accepted best reply. Gardner played 25-22 against Smith, but it is not considered so strong as the text. C — Lees gives play to show that 25-18 will draw, but the text has met with most favour. d — This is a strong move, and varies from Lees' play, and from the Jordan-Ferrie game, where 1-5 was played, resulting in a draw, as follows : — 1-5 9-18 t6-9 14-17 11-16 12-16 4-8 8-12 *22 17 30 26 til 13 21 14 20 11 20 11 10 6 6 2 14-18 3-7 9-14 18-23 7-32 8-15 2-9 12-16 23 14 32 28 29 25 26 19 24 20 14 10 13 6 Drawn * Varies from Lees' play, the continuation there given being 24-19, 3-7, etc. Drawn.

F. Barker, at Boston, May, 1902, but it appears to be inferior to either 1-5 or 3-7. For example :— 9-13 18 9 14-23 32 28 8-15 15 6 8-11 30 26 5-14 27 18 15-19 29 22 2-18 24 20 6-10 26 22 3-7 24 15 15-18 31 26 11-15 22 18 *10-15 18 14 11-25 22 15 4-8 20 16 1-5 23 18 12-16 20 11 7-10 28 24 15-19 Drawn * Corrects the Wendemuth-Barker game, where the former played 11-15, and White won. Further play on this variation will be found in the Leeds Mercury Weekly Supplement, May 31st, 1902. e— 29-25 was played by Alfred Jordan against Tescheleit in the London Championship Match, October, 1902, and appears to draw, as follows : — 29 25 15-18 27 18 2-7 26 19 18-23 19 15 Drawn— 1-5 *31 26 14-23 19 15 8-11 26 22 11-18 Jordan 23 19 18-23 21 17 11-18 30 26 4-8 22 15 * Jordan played 19-15, and lost in the ending. f— If 24-19, 15-24, 18-23, 27-18, 11-16, etc., Black has the better game. g — The following diagram shows the situation at this point, Vv'hich is an exceeding^ critical one for White, so critical, indeed, that many of the spectators thought that Freedman would have little difficulty in scoring a win : — Black m fM.,^ 'm m ^ ,„_, mm_,,^,jmm^_wm^WM.

C — ^This is decidedly inferior to 22-18, the line adopted by Jordan in the next game. d — The late J. Lees, in his notes to the Ferrie- Jordan Match Games, gives play showing a critical draw by 27-23, which was the line adopted by A. Hynd against A. Cain in the final round of the English Championship Tourney, 1902. Hynd varied early from Lees' play, but the result was disastrous, the game ending in a win for Black. e — ^This " break " varies from the Ferrie- Jordan game, and will stand sound for a draw, unless Black's play can be improved upon, which I think is rather doubtful. Jordan played 27-24 against Ferrie, and lost by 11-15, 25-22, 8-12, 17-13, 14-18, 22-17, 3-7, 17-14, 10-17, 21-14, 1-6, 31-27, 18-22, 26-17, 6-9, etc. B. wins. f — After this move there is no draw for White, so far as I can see. The win is not an evident one at this point ; indeed, the move in the text is the most likely looking one at White's option ; but Jordan evidently had a full grasp of the situation, and his reply leaves White without a loophole for escape.

The sixth Tourney for the English Championship, the third biennial Tourney held under the auspices of the English Draughts Association, was played at Leeds during Easter Week, 1902. The Tourney was very successful, the attendance of spectators being larger than at any previous one ; the " gate," with subscriptions and entrance-fees, clearing all the expenses. The event was notable as the first Tourney for the Association Championship Troph}^ the " Gelsthorp " Cup. The entries numbered thirteen, as follows : — ^Allan Hynd and J. Hynd, junr., Manchester ; Willie Gardner, L Brammer, and J. C. Moss, Leeds ; A. Jordan and R. Atwell, London ; A. Cain and H. Morrall, Liverpool ; F. F. Smith and J. Alexander, Birmingham ; J. A. Kear, junr., Bristol ; and T. Goldsboro, Bradford. A Playing Committee, including two of the contestants, was elected, as follows : — A. Jordan, W. Gardner, A. Roberts, F. Dunne, W. J. Wray, G. H. Smith, A. H. Heddle, J. Livingstone, R. Ellis, T. Eddison, J. Berry, H. Gardham, H. Green, W. Carter, G. Britton, and B. Falkingham. The Tourney was opened b}^ Mr. W. S. Cameron, Editor of the Leeds Mercury Weekly Supplement, supported on the platform by Messrs. A. Roberts, Leeds, President of the E.D.A. (in the chair) ; J. Townsend, Littleborough, Vice-President of the E.D.A. ; W. J. Wray, Halifax, Secretary of the E.D.A.; A. Bryson, Draughts World, Glasgow ; J. Deans, Weekly Mail, Glasgow ; F. Dunne, Leeds Mercury Supplement, Warrington ; W. D. Benstead, Lowestoft ; G. Wathen, Bristol ; E. Roberts, London ; and the members of the Playing Committee. The Tourney lasted eight days, and was won by Albert Cain, of Liverpool, who thus became Champion of England for 1902-3. Mr. A. Roberts presided at the distribution of prizes, and con- gratulated the winner on the fine play he had shown, by going through the Tourney without losing a single game. He then handed over the prizes to the winners, as follows : — First prize (£20, and a handsome draughts-board and set of draughtsmen, together with the '' Gelsthorp " Cup, the English Association Championship Trophy) — Mr. A. Cain, Liverpool. Second prize (£10) — Mr. A. Hynd, Manchester. Third prize (£6) — Mr. Willie Gardner, Leeds. Fourth prize (£4) — Mr. A. Jordan, London. Mr. F. Dunne, on behalf of the players, the press, and the visitors, proposed a vote of thanks to the Local Committee who had had the conduct of the Tourney. He congratulated them upon their efficient 54 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. management. The arrangements and accommodation excelled anything that had been done on previous occasions, and would reflect credit on even so progressive a city as Leeds. Mr. A. Hynd seconded the proposition, which was supported by Messrs. Gardner and Wray. Mr. A. H. Heddle, the Secretary of the Committee, responded. A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed this memorable event. TABLE OF RESULTS. RST ROUND. Draws Wins - F. F. Smith - - 1 J. C. Moss - - 1 - 1 H. Morrall - - 2 - 3 I.

Mr. Cameron, who on rising was greeted with applause, addressed the meeting, as follows : — My first duty, gentlemen, is to welcome you to this city, and to express the two-fold hope that you will find Leeds hospitable and kind to strangers, and that the proceedings in which you are about to take part will be worthy of what is one of the most ancient, innocent, and enjoyable of games. (Applause.) Then I have to thank you, which I do most sincerely, for the exceeding great honour you have done me in asking me to open your Tournament, and to be permitted, therefore, to take a leading part in this national gathering. I am only sorry that I cannot pretend to be, in the technical sense, qualified for so great a distinction, and yet for twenty years and more I have week after week been brought into close touch with draughts — with masterly problems, remarkable endings, and criticisms of play of the highest and most searching nature. But just as a counter clerk in a bank may have the handling of untold wealth, and be doubtful of his ability to pay his tailor's bill — (laughter) — so the mere fact of my having had intimate and continuous dealings with draughts for so long a period has not added anything to my knowledge of the game and its intricacies. At the same time it has intensified the literary interest I take in this delightful pastime, and it keeps me from altogether losing heart in an assemblage of experts such as I see before me this morning. (Hear, hear.) My one difficulty is as to the opening of this Tournament. The other day the Lord Mayor of Leeds started a new library in one of the districts of the city, and he did so by borrowing the first book. In the same w^ay, it has occurred to me that I might be asked to start these proceedings by making the first move in the first game, though sure am I, if I did so, it would not be my good fortune to make the last move in such an encounter. (Laughter.) But, gentlemen, little as I know of draughts, there is this to be said of the game — and it is something that can hardly be said of any other — that it is not only one in which the veriest tyro may indulge, but one from which he may emerge humiliated probably, but with the consciousness of mental discipline. Its elements, if simple enough for a child to understand, have developments and possibilities that are almost past finding out. (Applause.) The man has yet to be discovered who knows all about draughts, and this gives interest and zest to proceedings such as these, for it does not follow that the champion- ship, however deservedly won, can ever become the vested right of any player. (Hear, hear.) There is always the chance, the risk, of someone doing something better and more brilliant at the game than the man who went before him. The champion, to make good his title, may dispose his forces with all the skill, say, of Lord Kitchener, only to find some wily De Wet, by a sudden inspiration, 56 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. breaking through all entanglements, and securing a great tactical triumph. It is this very uncertainty of the game, its latent possi- bilities, that makes it so entrancing, and that, in fact, has made it historical. It has practically no limitation — (hear, hear) — and I think we may say it has no defects save such as the players impart to it-. When it was that it first occupied the attention of man it is impossible to say. Its beginning belongs to the mists of antiquity. It is one of the choice things brought down to us by Father Time himself. All we can say of it with certainty is that we can trace it back to the Middle Ages, and from the Middle Ages to the Romans, and from the Romans to the Greeks, and from the Greeks to the Egyptians ; and, taking it thus far, it is not unreasonable to con- jecture that it may have had its origin in the cradle of the race. Probably it was played in some form by primitive man ; if so, civilised man owes that remote progenitor of his a debt of gratitude for the introduction of a pastime so simple in itself and yet so in- exhaustible in its movements. (Applause.) But I must remember that draughts has been called the " silent game," and that talk in such a connection seems out of place. I will only add a word or two on behalf of the Association under whose auspices we are met together. May I venture to express the hope that as now, for the first time, the Association has come to a locality where draughts-playing within recent years has progressed by leaps and bounds, the visitation will not only benefit the game in this particular district, but that the Association itself will be greatly strengthened as the outcome of this Tournament, and strengthened to such good purpose that instead of this competition being biennial it will become an annual event ? (Applause.) Leeds is honoured on this occasion by the fact that, for the first time, the ultimate winner will be able, so long as he can justify a claim to it, to point to a symbol of his skiU. I am sure that I am speaking in the best interests of the game when I say that the Tournament about to be begun will not be the success it ought to be if the cup that is to be strenuously fought for and won is not fought for and won from year to year. (Applause.) And thus, gentlemen, having in words, if not in deed, made the first move on the board of your play, I hereby declare the English Draughts Tournament of 1902 duly opened. May the attendance be good throughout ; may the play be fruitful of surprises and interesting and instructive in its developments ; and may the Tournament have only pleasant memories for all taking part in it. (Loud applause.) ENGLISH TOURNEY GAMES. 57 ENGLISH CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES. PLAYED AT LEEDS, 1902. Notes by Willie Gardner, revised by F. Dunne. FIRST ROUND. J. ALEXANDER v. R. ATWELL.

There appears to be a rather strong attack for each player in turn, but a little examination of the position w^ill convince the student that, in either case, the advantage is more apparent than real.

The late '' Herd Laddie " had a decided antipathy to this variation, and many of the later experts follow his lead in that respect. Gardner, however, has adopted it with success against various opponents, notably against the " Herd Laddie " himself, in the International Match, 1894. b — ^This move was first introduced by Wyllie to correct or improve Barker's work, in which 27-23 is given, followed by 11-15, 32-28, 15-24, 28-19, 8-11, 22-18, 9-13, 18-9, 5-14, 29-25, 4-8, 25-22, 8-12, etc. Drawn. C— If 9-13, 20-16, 11-20, 30-25, etc., wins for White. . (1) At this stage Gardner played 9-13 against the " Herd Laddie," and the variation following is the result of a discussion that followed in the various Draughts columns : — 9-13 3127 15-18 28 24 3-7 83 10-26 30 26 4-8 22 15 8-11 12 8 9-14 83 8-11 29 25 11-18 23 19 18-23 38 7-10 -27 23 e-5-9 26 22 6-10 27 18 14-17 16 7 2-6 32 28 10-15 19 16 14-23 21 14 26-30 Drawn — J.

C— If 15-19, then 22-18, 19-26, 30-23, 16-19, 23-16, 12-19, followed by 18-15, etc., draws. d— If 2-7, White draws neatlv bv 9-5, 7-10, 13-9, 24-27, 9-6, 27-31, 6-2, 31-26, *18-14, 10-17, 2-7, etc."^ e — Black here missed an opportunitv of finishing the game neatlv and quickly, thus :— 2-6, 19-15, 11-16, 15-11, 27-31, 11-7, 31-26, 7-2, 26-22, etc. Black wins. — F.

Beattie d— 22-18, 15-22, 19-16, 12-19, 24-8, 4-11, 17-13, is a sound and interesting variation. e — At this point it was thought by the spectators that White had an overwhelming attack. Many of the critics contended that 22-18 would force a win. Examination fails to demonstrate the fact ; for instance :— 22-18, 15-22, 25-18, 14-17, 21-14, 10-17, then White appears to have nothing better than 26-22, 17-26, 31-22, followed by 7-10, 22-17, 3-7, 29-25, 8-11, and the draw is assured. After 22-18, 15-22 if White captures the piece by 26-17, either 8-11 or 7-11 look drawable replies. f — From this stage it became more and more apparent that White's attack was but a " Will-o'-the-wisp." Mr. Hynd having cleared the early shoals, sailed calmly into the next round. g — Forcing a pretty termination. On this move being made, the players, to the astonishment of some of the onlookers, left the table. The continuation is :— 18-27, 24-19, 16-23, 31-24, 20-27, 14-9, 5-14, 10-19.

Bell, of Staincliffe, is undoubtedly the strongest at Black's com- mand ; it takes all the sting out of the 21-17 attack, and the play from this stage is of a plain, straightforward description, allowing neither party much scope for originality or brilliancy.

This was first played by Ferrie against Jordan, in their match for the World's Championship, and resulted in a win for Black. C — It is difficult to find a satisfactory defence at this stage ; 22-18 is certainly stronger than the move in the text, which still further weakens White's "double corner"; but 21-17 has been adopted, followed by 11-15, 32-27, 6-10, 17-14, 9-18, 26-23, 19-26, 30-7, 3-10, 20-16, leading to a draw. d — This move was introduced by J . Lees to draw and correct the Ferrie-Jordan game.^ — See Game No. 27, Jordan v. Freedman, note (d). e — Varying from Lees' play, who continues : — 31-27, 12-19, 27-23, 4-8, 23-16, 8-12, 26-23, etc., drawn. The ending is, however, a very critical one for White, and the move in the text was probably adopted with a view to avoid it. f — It is just possible White may have a critical draw at this point, but, if so, we have not been able to discover it.

C — The Wyllie- Yates game was continued from 5-14 at (b) b}^ exactly the same plaj^ to this point. The game then went on — 6-9, 19-16, 2-7, 28-24, 9-13, 24-20, 14-17, 21-14, 10-17, 16-11, etc. Dra\vn. d — Here 2-7 would have forced the continuation shown in the note above ; but the piece on 13 permitted a stronger disposition of Black's forces, and White failed to make the correct reply, his next move (16-11) leading to a long, defensive ending that could have been avoided, as shown in variation (1). ENGLISH TOURNEY GAMES. 93- e — If 11-8 is played, it is doubtful if Black can force a win from this position. The move in the text appeared to be totally un- expected by Mr.'Hynd, and his next few moves were made without that cool deliberation so characteristic of the player, or he would not have failed to see that at " f" 18-15, followed by 23-32, 15-19, would have placed the win beyond doubt.

Lees goes so far as to say that anything else gives Black the advantage ; but the move in the text is given as a sound draw in Gardner and Leggett's analysis,, and also in Dr. Schaefer's more recent compilation of play on the 7-11 line of the " wisp." C — This varies from the books (where 5-9 is given), and leads to an interesting and original development. We have seen this move played before, though not in a contest of this importance. d — 3-8, followed by 27-23, 5-9, would run into book play. e — White's game looks very weak at this stage, but it is more apparent than real. f— 5-9 brings the game into book, followed by 24-20, 15-24, 28-19, 9-14, 18-9, 1-5, 31-27, etc. Drawn— Gardner-Leggett. g — The position here is a highly-critical one for White, whose choice of play is very limited ; on the other hand, Black has two strong alternatives, either of which maintain the attack — viz. 10-14 or 10-15. h — At this stage 13-17 looks promising for Black, but continue 25-22, 17-26, 31-22, 14^18, 22-17, 18-22, 17-13, 23-27, 28-24, and the draw is evident. 94 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. i —After this White's course is clear ; but if 10-6 is played Black can gain a piece, and would probably win somewhat as follows : — 9-14, 6-1, 13-17, 1-5, 17-22, 5-9, 22-29, 9-13, 18-22, 13-9, 23-26, 9-25, 29-22, etc. B. wins.

Drummond, author of the Scottish Draughts Player, whose works give some brilliant play upon it. The late J. P. Reed, the famous American expert, had also a predilection for this opening, and published a fine work devoted exclusively to it. b— This varies from Drummond's play, where 8-11 is given, also resulting in a draw. The text-move is not to be found in Reed's Alma, though the variation seems familiar, and may have been previously published. GAME No. 61 " KELSO " (10-15 23 -18). Black : Cain.

The move in the text is, however, sound, and may probably receive more attention in future contests. b— This move is stronger than appears at first sight ; if anything else is played White gets slightly the better game. C— White has nothing stronger at this point ; 30-26, followed by 11-16, 32-28, is equally sound ; but 22-17 loses by 9-14, 18-9, 5-14, etc. d — 22-18 might safely be played here, for if Black takes the " two for one " by 10-15, etc.. White regains the piece at once by 30-26 with a sound game ; or if Black plays 2-7, instead of taking the " two for one," then 30-25 gives White a good game. ENGLISH TOURNEY GAMES. 95 e — White now appears to have nothing better ; the exchange by 32-28, 15-24, 28-19, followed by 10-15, 19-10, 6-15, leads to a very weak ending, if not an absolute loss for White. f — ^The position at this stage is more critical for White than appears on the surface, and we are inclined to look upon this as the losing move ; at any rate, we have not been able to discover a satis- factory draw after it.

The seventh Championship Tourney — the fourth Biennial Tourney of the EngHsh Draughts Association — took place at Man- chester during Easter Week, 1904. The event was notable in having a record entrance, and as the most successful Tourney that has been held under the auspices of the E.D.A. The entries numbered eighteen, viz.: — A. Hynd, J. Hynd, junr., J. A. Milne, W. Blakeley, W. T. Jones, J. Langford, T. Worthington, and R. D. Parry, of Manchester ; J. Alexander and R. T. Ward, Birmingham ; F. Dunne and J. Roberts, Warrington ; A. Jordan, London; H. Morrall, Liverpool; T. Goldsboro, Bradford; W. J. Wray, Halifax ; W. H. Waller, Blackburn ; and T. Dean, Padiham. The Playing Committee was constituted as follows : — Messrs. J. Weir, C. Barber, R. A. Crawshaw, J. Chadderton, W. Kilgour, W. McClymont, W. R. Pepworth, T. Blakeley, W. Vallance, W. J. Wray, and A. Jordan. The proceedings were formally opened with a very effective speech by Mr. A. Bryson, of the Draughts World, supported by J. TowTisend, President of the E.D.A. (in the chair) ; J. K. Lyons, Liverpool Weekly Mercury ; W. Vallance, Hon. Sec. of the E.D.A.; A. Hynd, Manchester Weekly Times ; W. J . Wray, Sheffield Weekly Independent ; F. Dunne, Leeds Mercury Weekly Supplement ; E. Roberts, London ; and the members of the Playing Committee. Play was concluded early on the eighth day of the Tourney,, the winner being Herbert Morrall, of Liverpool. The prizes were presented the same evening at a well-attended Tea and Social Meeting. Mr. J. Townsend presided, and delivered a felicitous address. He congratulated the Champion on having gone through the contest without the loss of a single game ; and in handing over the prizes he had a word of praise for each of the respective recipients. First prize (£20) — Mr. H. Morrall, Liverpool. The winner also received a handsome silver medallion, presented by Mr. G. A. Gelsthorp, and held the " Gelsthorp " Cup, the E.D.A. Champion- ship Trophy, for two years. Second prize (£10) — ^W. Blakeley, Manchester. Third prize (£6) — R. T. Ward, Birmingham. Fourth prize (£4) — R. D. Parry, Manchester. Mr. F. H. Booth, London, moved a vote of thanks to the Chair- man, and in the course of an effective address congratulated the management generally upon the success of the Tourney, which H 98 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. rejfiected the highest credit upon the Manchester players who had taken the matter in hand. The motion was seconded by Mr. J. K. Lyons, Liverpool, and carried with applause. After a brief response from Messrs. Townsend and W. Vallance, the proceedings closed. TABLE OF RESULTS. Wins 2 A.

See Game No. 57, Morrall v. Hynd, in which the same position is reached by a different order of moves. C — Wyllie played 3-7 against Freedman, in the Scottish Tournev, 1899, and lost by 22-17, 8-11, 25-22, 9-14, 18-9, 5-14, 22-18, 1-5, 18-9, 5-14, 30-25, and White wins by the play pointed out in Jordan V. Freedman, Game No. 1, Note (d). d — This move was introduced by G. Buchanan, and improves Hill's Manual and the Jordan v.

See variation (3). a — To find a safe defence for Black on this line of the " Edinburgh" is a problem that has long exercised the minds of the experts ; the opening allows White to take such a command of the centre of the board that Black is handicapped from the start, and but for the fact that in Tourney play both contestants have the strong side in turn, it is safe to say it would be discarded altogether, except when played by expert against amateur. b — In the notes in the Third Scottish Tourney this move is recom- mended as preferable to 5-9 ; if 18-15 is adopted iA reply, however, as in this game, I don't think it makes much difference whether 4-8 or 5-9 is played at this point. ENGLISH TOURNEY GAMES. 115 C — This inaugurates a dangerous attack, which was introduced with success by Henderson against Cain in the International Match at Glasgow, 1899. W. Campbell also played it against Halliwell in the same match, but varied from Henderson's play, the result being a draw. d — This varies from the Cain-Henderson game, which was continued as follows :— 28-24, 16-19, 24-20, 1-6, 25-22, 14-18, 32-28, 18-25, 29-22, 3-7, 22-18, 7-11, 21-17, 13-22, 26-17, 19-23, 17-14, 2-7, 14-10, 7-14, 18-2, 11-18, 28-24, and White gains the piece on 8, and wins. e — I have been unable to find a sound draw for Black after this move. 16-19 gives better results, so far as I can see, but the draw is so critical that, unless Black can safely vary at an earlier stage, the 10-15 line of defence may be considered practically untenable.

C — ^The usual pla}^ here is 24-20, running the game into a variation of the " Kelso," which has been won by White in several important matches. I append a variation showing a critical draw, as follows : — 24 20 10-14 27 23 5-9 28 19 19-24 26 22 6-10 8-11 23 19 2-7 23 16 7-11 37 17-26 3 7 28 24 7-10 23 16 15-18 19 16 24-28 21 17 26-31 1-5 30 25 8-12 24 19 11-15 16 12 14-30 13 9 32 28 3-8 31 27 11-15 12 8 28-32 7 32 30-25 14-17 19 16 12-19 16 12 15-19 12 8 9-14 96 25 21 12-19 27 23 15-24 83 32-27 83 25-21 Drawn — Dunne d — At this point the " Dj^ke " exchange by 15-19 gives Black a sound game, and draws without difficulty, showing that White's previous move (25-22) is not so strong as 24-20. e — Black's game is hopeless after this ; 8-11 offers better pros- pects of a draw.

C — Black's game is now quite equal to his opponent's, and continues so to the end. 158 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. SCOTTISH CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES.

To have " the move " simply means, when carried to its logical sequence, to have the last move. For example, take King v. King. (Diagram 1.) It being White's turn to play. Black has " the move." Let the White King retreat in whatever direction he may, he is closely followed by the opposing Black King, and blocked in one of the side squares, in moving out from which he is finally captured, Black thus having the last move. This principle also applies when there are two or several pieces a-side on the board. (See Diagrams 2 and 3.)

In a game played to a " block," without any exchanges. White has " the move," as the following example shows : — 10-15 23 18 7-10 26 23 3-7 30 26 9-13 24 20 12-16 21 17 15-19 18 14 10-15 23 18 6-9 27 24 But in the ordinary course of a game almost every exchange of pieces alters " the move," changing it from White to Black, and vice versa, and an easy rule to discover which side possesses it, at any stage of a game, has been formulated. For this pur- pose the board is divided, theoreti- cally, into two systems (Diagrams 5 and 6), referred to as *' Black's " and " White's " systems. 8-12 25 21 1-6 32 27 6-10 27 23 2-6 31 27 4-8 29 25 W. wins (Diagram 4) JNO. 4 Black 9: ^ « mi _ ^.^^ ^//////'^ ''^'"^^Z, X3> mm ^CZ> 'm ^ '4 m ':?J?i <■"' «J« m ■//,/ 4 P'4 Wliite ^0.5 Black's System Black m. i « fi ^ ■.

Rule to find out who has "the Move.*' When it is your turn to play count all the pieces in your own system. If the sum is odd you have " the move," if even " the move " lies with your opponent.

Black has '' the move." In No. 7 White exchanges by 23-19, gains " the move " (one of the capturing pieces being taken), and wins. In No. 8 White draws bj^/any likety move excepting 10-15. Should he make that move, then .Black wins b}^ playing 25-22, retaining '' the move " after the resulting exchange, as neither of the capturing pieces have been^taken. An exception to the rule arises when there is an odd number of pieces upon the board, as 3 ?;. 2 or 4 v. 3. In studying end-games of this description we invariably find that one player has " the move " in one system of squares, while his opponent has it in the other system. No. 9 Payne's Draw.

If the player of the weaker side can hold one of his opponent's pieces in a side square belonging to the system in which he has " the move," this is always a great aid to him in his defence, and in many instances will enable him to force a draw. (Diagrams 9 and 10.) In Diagram No. 9 White has ** the move " in his own system, which enables him to draw by holding the man on 13, and at the same time keeping a check on the two opposing Kings. Without " the move " in his favour he could not do this, and Black would win. 32 27 17-14 17-22 23 19 27 31 14-10 a--30-25 27 23 3127 10-7 25-21 23 27 27 32 22-18 21-17 27 32 32 27 18-14 JNo. 10 Roger's Draw Black ^^'"'^■^'"^M '^'m^^ B B B ^ » 32 27 3-8 14-10 27 23 27 23 8-12 7-11 23 27 23 18 11-16 10-7 27 23 18 23 Draw 7-3 23 27 a— 20 24-20, 18- White White to play, and draw -24, 23-27, 24-28, 27-32, 30-26, 31-27, 26-31, 27-24, 22-18, ■23, 20-24, &c. Draw. The same principle applies to this as to the preceding example, but White has ** the move " in his opponent's system, which enables him to draw by holding the piece on 20, and keeping a check on the opposing Kings. Without " the move " in his favour he would lose. When the total number of pieces on the board is odd, it follows that there is an odd number in one system and an even number (or none at all) in the other system ; and the rule by which to find out in which system you have " the move " is based on this fact. Rule. — When it is your turn to play, count the pieces in your own system, and if the number is even, you have " the move " in that system ; if odd, you have " the move " in your opponent's system. The practical application of this rule is shown in the following examples (Diagrams 11 and 12) : — THE MOVE AND ITS CHANGES. 237 No. II Black 18 22 2-7 19 16 12-19 15 24 7-11 24 19 mvfM '^'wi' ...... m:M ^^ mm ^^ m ^ ^ t^^ m p.

The rule shows that when he moves first he has '' the move " in his own system, and must hold the piece on 13 ; but if Black moves first, '' the move " is changed, and White draws by holding the piece on 20. When driving a King out of the " Double Corner," if there are other pieces on the board, it is sometimes necessary to know which square it will come out on. The only two squares by which it can leave are in different systems ; and discarding all but the three pieces concerned, there is always an odd number in one system or the other. 238 DRAUGHTS PRAXIS. Rule. — When it is your turn to play, note which system contains the odd number : the King is forced out on to the square situated in that system.

In No. 14 the rule shows that if White proceeded to drive out the King with the two pieces on 1 and 18, it would come out on 27, and force a draw, by occupying 31 and releasing the pieces held on 13 and 30. White must, therefore, alter " the move " by an exchange of pieces before attempting to combat Black's free King, as follows :■ — 1 6 24-28 10 15 28-32 15 8 27-24 16 19 32-28 27-24 6 10 24-28 a-3 8 32-27 11 16 28-32 23 27 18 23 28-24 23 18 4-11 8 11 24 28 18 23 W. wins a — This exchange alters '' the move/' and enables White to win.
