CHESS EYES BEGINNING TO TURN
TOWARD BUDAPEST
AN ANALYTICAL REVIEW OF THE NUREMBERG
TOURNAMENT BY AN ENGLISH EXPERT
NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE

play chess all the year round and although there are
some who would discuss the merits of the silver and
gold standards times they never say no when
asked 10 play game at the club When engaged IN
the more less brainy fight their arguments are
based on the merits of particular opening they
might have adopted the discussion might be the
strength or weakness OF particular move Just made
and on. The Tribune therefore has reason to be-
ieve that the lovers OF the royal will watch the
raging of the chess battles Budapest with the same
interest which prevailed during the contest in Nurem-
berg. ana they will have ample time and inclination
to read the reports the fight for the Austrian En-
perors $500 cup. The fight. az Meses elegraphed TO
the Tribune on Wednesday, will begin on October l.
Up TO the present time Of writing no definite news
has reached this country regards the players who
will take part. As Iasker and Stenitz have post
poned the beginning Of their match until November
ii Is reasonable 10 suppose that both these players
wal meet in the Hungarian metropolis in addition 10
Maroczy. Tarrasch. Tschigorin and other European
experts and II is therefore expected that games 10
be played will enrich chess literature 10 some extent
a purpose which most men have In view when ar
ranging international tournaments

games from the Nuremberg tournament some inter
esting remarks made on this tournament in The
