BLACK. WHITE.
4. P. to K. Kt.'s 6th. Ch. 4. K. to R.'s sq.
5. P. to K.t's 7th. Ch., making a Q. and giving Mate next move.

Before advancing a step further, however, you are strongly recommended to play over the whole of the previous lessons carefully many times. When thoroughly master of the information they contain, and not till then, you may proceed to the study of the Openings.
