BY FRANK b. WALKER.

The NTH game of the match for
the championship of the world between
DR.. Alexander Alekhine and e. D.
Bogoljnhow, in progress at Wiesbaden
resulted in a win for DR.. Alekhine
This game. like the FIRST and third, was
q queens gambit, accepted by Bogoljn-
bow on his fourth move. The game
proceeded like the third game. viz:
P-Q4, Pot; Pc B4, Pc B3: Kt
* B3, XIX B3; Kt-B3, PIP;
P-Q R4. B-B4; Kt-K5, P--K3. Al
the third game and played B-Kt5, fol-
lowed by P-B3 and PKG. These
moves shut blacks q B out Of the
game. He made a strong attack against
Bogolinbow's queen side, cleverly won q
pawn on his twenty-sixth turn, and
Bcgoljnbow resigned on his forty
eighth turn. In his comments on this
game DR.. Alekhine placed strong en-
phasis on his move B-Kt5.
The sixth game proceeded like the
second and fourth, the opening moves
being pa, XIX B3; P-Q b, p
K3; Kt-Q B3, B-Kt5; Q-Kt3. In
black, now played P-B4. Then en-
sued PxP, Kt-Q B3. In the sixth
game Alekhine played Q-K2. On his
tenth turn Alekhine won a pawn. The
advantage was only temporary however
as he lost in position, and had to re-
turn the pawn four moves later. Bo-
goljnbow pushed his attack, won a pawn
on his forty-f1rst turn, another on his
forty-fifth turn, and threatened with
the loss Of q piece, Alekhine resigned on
his forty-seventh turn.
In the seventh game Bogoljnbow
varied from his previous line of play
and did not accept the queens pawn
offered until his seventh turn. He at
tempted to return 1t by B-K3. Alex
hine pushed his center vigorously, won
the exchange on his twenty-second
turn and later two pawns. Bogoljn-
bow resigned on his thirty-fifth turn.
The eighth game also saw O P-Q4
opening, which Alekhine varied from
previous games In which he was sec
ond player. He fianchettoed on the
queens side, castled on the same side
and attacked vigorously Bogoljnbow on
the kings side. Bogoljnbow resigned
The present score Is: Alekhine. 4;
Bogoljnbow, q; drawn, 2.
Alekhine has been the more aggres-
sive player Of the two. He has played
with confidence which assures sue
cess. On the other hand, BogoljnboW
has not measured up to Alekhine's
playing. True, he won two games, but
the frst was where Alekhine launched
an unsound attack. The second win
was where Alekhine also made q mis-
calculation, or there was a Joker
which he overlooked, according to his
own admission, and thereby allowed his
adversary to take commanding posi-
ton. Alekhine has shown that the &C.
ceptance Of the queens gambit pawn i,
| inadvisable.
There will be a recess for a week
during which Alekhine will attend the
congress OF the World Chess League ir
Venice as a delegate for France.
The next three games win be playeC
In Heidelberg.
