University has of course, again won tho interclub championship by a wide margin. This game selected only after much deliberation from our many spectacular victories, convincingly demonstrates our well- known superiority in all departments—except tho end-game of which there was none.
| White: W. Poole | Black: R. Court | |
|---|---|---|
| Albin's Countor | Gambit | |
| 1 | P-Q4 | P-Q4 |
| 2 | P-QB4 | P-K4 |
| 3 | P x KP | P-Q5 |
| 4 | N-KB3 | N-QB3 |
| 5 | P-QR3 | B-KN5 |
| 7 | P-QN4 | Q-K2 |
| 8 | B-N2 | O-O-O |
| 6 | QN-Q2 | N-R3 |
| 9 | Q-N3 | N-B4 |
| 10 | P-R3 | B x N |
| 11 | N x B | N x KP |
| 12 | R-Q1 | P-B4 |
| Played to consolidate tho PQ5. Black will have wounds to lick if White gets in with NP x BP. | ||
| 13 | N x N | Q x N |
| 14 | P-KN3 | P x P |
| The obvious Q-KS is better, but then White has several threats with B-N2 | ||
| 15 | B-N2 | P-KR4 |
| 16 | O-O | B-Q3 |
| A good way to lose the Q was Q x KP. and tho K by P x P. The text "threatens" an (unsound) sacrifice, which White promptly provokes by destroying Black's treasured PQ5. | ||
| 17 | P-K3 | N x NP |
| 18 | P x N | Q x NP |
| 19 | R-B3 | Q-R7ch |
| 20 | K-B1 | P x KP |
| 21 | Q x KP | P x P |
| "It is obvious to the veriest tyro that Black's position is in ruins" (Lasker) and Black is also seriously short of time. A few vigorous moves complete the convincing demonstration advertised in tho preamble. | ||
| 22 | R x P | KR-B1 |
| 23 | Q-K6ch | K-N1 |
| 24 | R x B | R x Rch |
| 25 | Q x R | Q x Rch |
| 26 | K x Q | P x B |
| 27 | R x R mate | |
