French Defence C01

In our last number we announced that a Tournament had been played in Paris, M. Clerc gaining the first prize, Signor Tassinari the second. We now reprint from our contemporary La Régence the deciding game of this spirited contest. Twenty-four players took part in it, the twenty-two behind the winners being M. Martin (third), MM. Acloque, Arnous de Rivière, Bornemann, Budzinski, Cerf, Coullier de Bechenec, Desjardins, Fritz, Hébert, Lafitte, Lanöe, E. Lefranc, Lequesne, Lesseure, Lustro-Lévi, Mercier, Montigny, Pasquier, Pick, and Preti.

Ne5 a6 11. Nxc6 bxc6 12. Nc3 Qd6 13. f4 Ng4 14. Bxe7 Qxe7 15. Qc1. It seems that White could not have advanced his Pawn to f5 without danger. 15. f5 Qh4 16. h3 Ne3 17.

Johann Jacob Löwenthal – Gerolamo Tassinari
London
Sicilian Defence B20

Game played at the St. George’s Chess Club, London, between Signor Tassinari and Herr Löwenthal, Secretary to the Club.

1. e4 c5 2. Bc4. Some player prefer 2. d4, because White thereby liberates his pieces quickly; but we are of opinion that 2. Bc4 is an equally good opening; since, if well followed up, it becomes very attacking. See the games in the Tournament of 1851, as played by Anderssen, who certainly conducted this opening with great ingenuity. 2. ... e6 3. Nc3 Nc6 4. d3 Nf6. 4. ... Nge7 is the correct play. 5. Bg5 Be7 6. Nge2 0-0 7. f4 Na5. Considerable time is lost by this move. White has nothing to fear should Black capture the King’s Bishop, and thus double the Pawn. Experience has proved that White’s game is thereby much strenghtened, since it keeps back the Black’s Queen Pawn, which eventually becomes the aim of White’s attack. 8. Bxf6 Bxf6 9. e5 Bh4+ 10. Ng3 d5. Black very wisely declined to capture the Knight, as he would have liberated the adverse King’s Rook, which he must eventually have found disadvantageous. 11. exd6 Qxd6 12. Qg4 Bf6 13. Nce4 Qe7 14. 0-0-0 Nxc4 15. dxc4 Bd4 16. Qf3 Bd7. We should have preferred 16. ... f5. 17. c3 Bf6

18. Nh5. An ingenious variation arises from taking the Queen’s Bishop. Suppose, 18. Rxd7 Qxd7 19. Nh5 Bd8 [Or 19. ... Bh4 20. g3 f5 21. Nxc5 Qe7 (best) 22. Qe3 followed by Qe3xe6+ with a good game, having a Knight and two Pawns for the Rook. 19. ... Be7 (If 19. ... Qe7 Black loses the game immediately, as White moves 20. Qg4) 19. Qg4 and wins] 20. Rd1 Qc7 [Black’s only reply (:) 20. ... Qe7 21. Nef6+ Kh8 22. Rd7 gxf6 23. Rxe7 Bxe7 24. Qxb7 and we prefer White’s game] 21. Rxd8 Raxd8 22. Nef6+ Kh8 (It is clear that by capturing the Knight he is mated in two moves) 23. Qg4 g6 24. Qg5 Qd6 and wins. 18. ... Bc6 19. Nexf6+ Kh8 20. Qg3 g6 21. Qg5, and Black resigns. 1 : 0.

Marchese Gondi – Gerolamo Tassinari
Florence, a day in the life
Queen’s Gambit Accepted D20

1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4. Heydebrandt and other authorities consider it better to decline the gambit by playing 2. ... e6. We believe that the gambit may be accepted with safety. The style of the player, however, must in a great measure guide him as to the course he should adopt. If he has a predilection for close games, he will do well to decline the gambit, but if he prefers an open or attacking he may accept it boldly. 3. Nc3. 3. e3 is generally recommended. 3. ... Nf6 4. e4. 4. e3 is given in the Handbook. 4. ... e6 5. Bxc4 c6 6. Nge2 Be7 7. 0-0 b5 8. Bd3 Bb7 9. a3 Nbd7 10. Be3 0-0 11. f4 Ng4 12. Rf3 a6 13. Rc1 c5. A good move, as the sequel shows. 14. d5. Taking Pawn with Pawn would have been bad, Black wou’d have replied with 14. ... Nxe3, following it up with ... Be7xc5, winning, at least, the Exchange. 14. ... c4 15. Bb1 Nxe3 16. Rxe3 Bc5 17. Nd4 Qb6 18. Nce2 exd5 19. e5 f6 20. e6 Rae8 21. Kh1. Necessary, as Black threatened to capture the advanced Pawn. 21. ... Nb8 22. Rh3 f5 23. b4. 23. Bxf5 would have been preferable. 23. ... cxb3 24. Nxb3 Bxa3 25. Ned4. A useless sacrifice, which turns the tables in favour of Black. White should have played 25. Rcc3, maintaining the attack. 25. ... Bxc1 26. Qh5 h6 27. Bxf5

27. ... Nd7. Black conducts the attack with great ability. 28. Qg6 Nf6 29. Rxh6 Bxf4 30. Rh7 Re7 31. Bc2 Ne4. After this White’s game was past redemption. 32. Bxe4 dxe4 33. Nf5 Rxf5 34. Qxf5 Qf2 0 : 1. And White surrenders. (Johann Jacob Löwenthal, The Chess Player’s Magazine, 1865, pages 88-89).

As The British Chess Magazine says in its January 1948 issue, at page 16, the Marchese Gondi was the maternal grandfather of Stefano Rosselli del Turco.

CHESS IN BELGIUM

The following game was played in Belgium a short time ago between M. de Rives, one of the best of the present school of French Chess, and Signor Tassinari, an Italian player of a considerable degree of skill.

Gerolamo Tassinari – de Rives
Brussels, 1853
Spanish C62

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 d6 4. d4 exd4 5. Qxd4 Bd7 6. Bxc6 Bxc6 7. Bg5 f6 8. Bh4 Ne7. We may observe that this variation in the attack and defence of the Knight’s game of Ruy Lopez has the tendency to produce the same position as that which has arisen in games played at the defence of Philidor to the Knight’s Opening. In one of these the moves have run:– 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 exd4 4. Qxd4 Nc6 5. Bb5 Bd7 6. Bxc6 Bxc6 7. Bg5 f6 8. Bh4 Ne7 &c. The position is the same as that in the game before us. Ed. Note: Another try is 8. ... Nh6 9. Nc3 Qd7 10. 0-0 Be7 11. Rad1 0-0 12. Qc4+ Rf7 13. Nd4 Ng4 14. h3 Ne5 15. Qe2 with an edge, P. C. Morphy – Harrwitz, Paris 1858, match game 4. 9. Nc3 Ng6 10. Bg3 Be7 11. Nd5. Castling on the King’s side is perhaps preferable. 11. ... 0-0 12. Nh4. In these cramped games, the first player should avoid impairing his position by the exchange of pieces. Had he castled at his previous move, he would, unless we are mistaken, have preserved his advantage with underring certainty. 12. ... Nxh4 13. Bxh4 Kh8 14. 0-0-0 Bxd5 15. Qxd5 c6 16. Qe6 Re8 17. f4 Bf8 18. Qf5 Qb6. Obviously threatening to check at e3. 19. Rhe1 Rad8 20. e5. This looks somewhat premature. Ed. Note: Worth considering was 20. g4 intending both g4-g5 and Rd1-d3-h3. 20. ... Qa5. The danger of a castled position on the Queen’s side is well shown here. This move gains time at a most important crisis. 21. Kb1 dxe5 22. Bg3. We imagine 22. Rxd8 to be a better move, and one likely to produce a drawn game. A leading variation arising therefrom is:– 22. Rxd8 Rxd8 23. fxe5 Bb4 24. c3 Bxc3 25. bxc3 Qxc3 and Black, we believe, will at least draw the game. Ed. Note: Staunton raves: 22. Rxd8 Rxd8 23. fxe5?? is simply refuted by 23. ... Qxe1+! 24. Bxe1 Rd1 mate. 22. ... Bb4 23. c3 Rxd1+ 24. Rxd1 exf4 25. Qd7. To exchange Queens, and then take the Pawn with his Bishop, would be simpler and better. 25. Qxf4 would also be much sounder. 25. ... Qh5 26. cxb4. 26. Bxf4 seems to be more free from objection. 26. ... fxg3 27. hxg3 h6 28. g4 Qg6+ 29. Ka1 Re2 30. Qxb7. After this move White’s game is indefensible.

30. ... Qc2 31. Qc8+. Ed. Note: Useless, but also after 31. Rb1 Rxg2 White is doomed. 31. ... Kh7 32. Qf5+ Qxf5 33. gxf5 Rxg2 34. Rf1 h5 35. a3 Kh6 36. Ka2 h4 37. a4 h3 38. b5 cxb5 39. axb5 h2 40. Rh1 Kg5 41. Kb3 Kxf5 42. Kc3 g5 43. b4 g4. And White surrendered. 0 : 1. (Notes by Howard Staunton, The Chess Player’s Chronicle, Vol. iii, 1855, pages 14-15).

CHESS IN ITALY

The two lively games which we have the pleasure of presenting here, form part of a selection from many recently played in Florence, for which we are indebted to an esteemed correspondent, “A. F.”, whose former contributions, in the shape of some elegant and ingenious problems, have already made his signature agreeably known to the readers of this magazine. The whole of the games in question, are played according to the mode in the use throughout England, Germany and France; for the amateurs of Florence, without any disrespect to the Classic Italian School, have bravely set their countrymen the example of submitting to the rules of play which are adopted by the Chess community throughout the rest of Europe.
Considering the extreme rarity with which Chess communications reach us from Italy, it is a notewhorty fact, that within only a few days of the arrival of the games forwarded by our Florentine friend, we had the gratification of receiving a MSS. collection of no less than fifty fine games played at Rome, which have been collected by Signor Dubois, and presented by that distinguished player to the Editor in a manner so flattering and graceful

“As made the things more rich”.
