Chess and Draughts Club

We regret that this term, owing, of course, to stress of work, our activities have resolved themselves into an occasional game or so.

Members will, however, be delighted to learn that a series of fortnightly Club nights has been planned for the coming vacation, when it is hoped that all will resume play. Meanwhile the following problem might be worthy of consideration:—

White: K at Q3, B at K5, R at QKt2, P at QB6.

Black: C at QRS, Q at QR2, B at QKt sq, P at QB2.

Solution of problem in last issue of "Spike":—

White	Black
1 R to KRsq.	K to R2 (a).
2 R to R7ch.	K to Kt sq.
3 K to Kt 6, and wins.

(a) Any other move and white would mate with Rook.
