[Footnote A: A very ingenious move. If Black take the Pawn with his
Queen, he of course loses her by "B. takes Q. R. P. (ch.), etc." and if
with the Kt. it costs him at least a Piece.]


GAME III.--Played in 1854, between Mr. H. P. Montgomery,
of Philadelphia, and Mr. Pindar, now one of the leading
members of the Manchester Chess Club, England.

And Black wins.

[Footnote A: A favorite move with several of the strongest of modern
players.]

[Footnote B: If White take P. with P., the Black K. B. is brought into
play; and if not, the advance of P. to B's 5th is threatened.]

[Footnote C: Chiefly to double White's Pawns.]

[Footnote D: Black foresaw the intended attack on the B. P., and by
providing for it in this way brought another Piece into action.]

[Footnote E: White keeps up the attack on the B. P. with a great deal of
vigor. The move of R. P. two was a very good one.]

[Footnote F: The best move.]

[Footnote G: The R. is well posted--for attack and defence.]

[Footnote H: Black has now resumed the offensive.]

[Footnote I: Threatening to take Q. if P. takes P., and attacking Q. R.
at the same time. There was still another motive for this move, viz.: to
induce White to take R. P., foreseeing the R. would be lost
subsequently.]

[Footnote J: To enslave the Rook.]

[Footnote K: An excellent move. In this and the succeeding moves, White
played very well. His efforts were directed to saving his R., but, as
the result showed, without success.]

[Footnote L: Apparently hazardous, but justified by the gain of time.]

[Footnote M: We believe his best move.]

[Footnote N: White was obliged to lose the exchange, although he fought
manfully against it.]

[Footnote O: Another very good move in White.]

[Footnote P: Black's advantage in the exchange begins now to tell on the
game.]

[Footnote Q: Threatening mate if R. takes Q.]
