Note, d mii;ht apply where it Is. hut was meant to spring from 19-15 at twenty-sixth move. Note e applies to 24-19 at sixteenth move. Il'-uv under the blue dome above fne cditnr of this column could, with a clear conscience, refer to the erratic individual who played BUu-ks in this game a5 "the ' Pcnvcr expert," is beyond my benighted t comprehension. Kvidenlly you have a ! l;i o vein of grim humor. However, it tr-is; be admitted that a .ioke is none the less good even though It does happen to 1 e "0 nie so you are freely forgiven. As i a brilliant exnniple of how not to play rle black side of the Denny I consider ithis game well worthy of first premium at anv coumy fair. L. J. YAIR. 1 Denver, Colo.. March 6, 1917.
