NEW THINGS IN CHESS

On a recent visit TO London DR.. Emanuel

ions and Impressions OF the game.
Chess said DR.. Lasker. lis as infinite

perfect chess players met they could sx-
kaust chess, but two perfect cness players
probably never will be found 1t IS errone-
Gus TO describe chess as a mather,atical
game. IL is a contest. just like fencing. IN
ma atheulatics the brain tries to solve a
problem by reflection and observation. In
chess two brains contend IN order 20 dis
cover means OF getting the better Of each
other. according TO a certain set of rules
Each of the players seeks TO get more
I'ower out of the pieces than the other. II
TWO perfect chess players met the result
would be a drawn game. and IL therefore
follows that the man who can best apply
the strategical laws will win.
There viii always be something 10 learn
in chess. IL may be ever so little. and il
will become less and less. because more
good games are played every year and
more errors are avoided. The games played
TODAY are more fauitless than the games
of even ten years ago. Yet in spite of this
elimination OF error the game has become
more varied and manifold In It's intricacies
