VARIATION A.

Place the men again as in the Diagram, and play the first four moves over as before : but at Black's fourth move, instead of K. to his B. sq., move K. to Q.'s sq., and go on thus :—

WHITE. BLACK.
4. K. to Q.'s sq.
5. K. to his 6th 5. K. to Q. B.'s 2nd.
6. Kt. to Q. s 7th. 6. K. to Q. B.'s 3rd.
(His best move to escape the fatal White corner square. If he play instead K. to Q. Kt.'s 2nd, you proper move is the B. to Q.'s 3rd ; and if, after this, he play K. to Q. B.'s 3rd, your can more your B. to Q. B.'s 4th, and after his next move play B. to Q. Kt.'s 5th, compelling him immediately to go into the angle.)
7. B. to Q.'s 3rd. 7. K. to Q. B.'s 2nd.
(His best move, as a very little consideration will show you.)
8. B. to Q. Kt.'s 5th. 8. K. to Q.'s sq.
9. Kt. to K.'s 5th. 9. K. to Q. B.'s 2nd.
10. Kt. to Q. B.'s 4th. 10. K. to Q.'s sq.
