The Telegraphic Chess Tournament.
PROGRESS or THE CHESS MATCH BETWEEN Nsw
YORK AND PHILADELPHIA-TnE GAME NOT Y.r
CONCLUDED.
The great telegraphic chess confess between New Yok
and Philadelphia, which commenced Tuesday
night and adjourned over resumed las evening at
the Merchants Exchange in tho presence OF much
larger audience than assembled the previous evening
Nearly all the distinguished chess amatures in this city
and Brooklyn present, and the most lively interest
in tho progress Of the game manifested. To the
credit Of chess players it may be here remarked that
there very little betting the result. Contests in
this game rarely invoke a gambling spirit and this s
probably that makes chess popular among
the refined and intelligent as well as in family crclcs
Those who did bet at the close Of the game last night
gave odds favor Of New York who certainly
have tho best position, though with little attack.
As foreseen at the beginning, the game *, and
promises TO be, close and slow Tho position Is in
trica,e, and every move makes II more involved If 1t
does not develope into any brilliant attack side
the other will at least be valuable TO tho chess studen
for the precision and accuracy which mark every move
AS will be seen by the game which we give below, tho
New Workers have cscd" and got their king out Of tho
way OF immediate danger, while the Phladelphians al
though they could have done the thing, thought
proper TO move their king which, Of course by the rules
OF the game, prevents them from casng in the future.
IN s, anu m having tneir position ratner more Droksu
up, the Phiadelphans at the present stage Of the
game to have Disadvantage but then their bishops and
queen finely situated for attack, and may prove mis-
chicvous the game advances. The New Yorkers
much surprised when the Phadephians advanced their
pawn TO kings rook fourth aud still aslonished
thor moving KING to bishops square. II was supposed
that the last move would have been pawn to queens
bishop nfth which would lead intricate comb
nation and would have been very attacking. The Phila
depha players have doubtless some excellent reason for
the moves they have made, which will deyeopc itself
the game advances. The New Workers. confident,
however, that SO far their game the best BY the
nexed game IL will be seen that only seven moves
made last night and is not likely that IL will be finished
for couple Of evenings yet, will probably take fifty
moves at least Play will be resumed next Saturday
