HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

II was In 1870. Just before the war be-
tween France and Germany began, that
the famous Austrian Baron Won ]. Ko-
lisch summoned ten chess masters of
International repute TO engage In an In
ternational chess tournament at Baden
Baden. Among the competitors were
those eminent players Andersen. steinits,
Blackburne. Neumann. Psulsen. De We're,
Winawer. Minckwits. Rosenthai and
Stern. The veteran steinitz always took
q pride IN relating TO his friends In Eu-
rope and in this country that many times
during the progress OF their games they
could distinctly hear the roar OF the can

r.itionalities were represented in the

he found that the field was too strong for

helm did not expect that war would como
out OF the dispute between Austria and
Servis. and st.ll less did they expect
that the whole of Europe might be en-
gagged In an armed struggle yet II may
safely be predicted that one and all OF the
players will hold out 20 the last. II must
not be supposed that these men lack In
patriotism and that they are not In
terested in important. questions outside OF
chess. On the contrary the high intelll-
gence and masterful mind which Is es-

are two factors which as matter OF
course almost compel them 10 occupy
their minds and thoughts with great
problems not always pertaining 10 chess.
They. however. one and all possess
high sense Of duty. and II Is this factor
which will make them stay out to the
end independent OF whatever position
they may occupy at tho end OF the tourna-

There are no trumps and Y Ia in the
lead. How many tricks can and get
against the best defence? While the
composer may have asked for Ave. four
seems TO be the limit.
The solution planned for was evidently
TO get Y to lead the ace OF diamonds and
then to put A In with the ten. which
would force him to lead hearts No
matter what heart A leads Y can win
two tricks in that suit at once, and these
will give z two spade discnrds. after
which can come through II with the
clubs, and rs will be good for two
tricks.
II starts with the smaller diamond,
putting A In at once. this solution can be
defeated by an Immediate return OF tho
diamond. throwing back into the lead.
which will prevent Y from winning any
heart tricks or giving y any spade dis
cards This will result IN putting the
fight between Y and H.
In addition 20 the diamond trick al
ready given TO 4 II is now evident that
n must make two tricks IN spades or one

Jack. forcing u 10 lead a black suit for

Gated as a Mt school subject the point
has been made that II would effect tho

ner There Ia probably something to be
said for this, but hardly anything proita-
BILE, as II Is likely to remain an in
teresting theory. But the compar ison has
an important bearing on the attitude to
the game OF n type OF player. Without
going as far as to indorse the remark OF
the chess master that any but the trained
mind just misses the highest pinnacle Of
chess fame there have been exceptions),
it IL noticeable how a player has been in
fuenced by his habit OF thinking. The
university player brings to the game an
academical style. AS no doubt enters into
IA proposition Of Euclid. so he would have
no questionable move In the game HIS
whole enjoyment lies in his combating
the uncertainty, and all tho time he well
knows that the game Ia essentially full
OF doubt almost to the end. for who
shall say which Is the best move In any
<art OF the opening or the middle stage

PLANTATION. There Is no seeking after
