Among the business to be
transnoted is the election of a Fresident. The committee has nominated Mr. H. E. Pollock, KC, to the post, and confirmation by the general meeting is required. The Club is to be congratulated in its choice, for Mr. Pollock is an able and enthusiastic player and was, we believe, one of the founders of the Club.
A Singapore paper calls attention to the fuck that the Hongkong-Singapore match just con- eladed is the third match of the kind played by the Singapore Chess Club. Five years ago, Hongkong was besten by two games in love, and last years Batavia and Singapore drew, only pas

The championship tournament, which has been going on amongst members of the Singa- pore Chess Club for some time past, has been won by Mr. T. Ramage Miles, who hast Mr. J. 8. Elena, the folder of the title, by two games to love. It is evident that talent is well distributed among the members of the club, us there have been thres champions, all prosent members, in as many season.
A writer in the Birmingham Daily Post has discovered that in the luto Hanover Tournament the Ray Lopez opening won only five times and lost fourteen times, and drow in sloven games unt of thirty, which prompts him to ask: Ia the once dreaded Ruy Lopez losing its terrors? Mr. L. Von Vlist comments: But, we may ask, was the Ruy Lopez eyar dreaded, or did the opening over have any real terrors for the best players? A game of chem between first-rata experts is not, as a rule, won in the opening. It is in the middlo and ond game, as the late Dr Zakertort-was-wont-to-remark, whero a ̈ player shows that he knows about chess. We in point to more than one game in the rocont tournament at Hanover in which the Roy Lopez was adopted, with compiets anocoes on far as the opening went, and yat Black won, the attacking party having been outmanoeuvred in the middle or the end game. Consequently, to build anything like a conclusive theory from the number of wine, losses, or draws resulting from a certain opening played in a great tournament is using time that might be more profitably employed. These kind of statistics would be delusive, avon if all the competitors were of equal strength, which, as every one knows. they never are." We may add that an analysis of the openings used in big tourdarents during the last dozen years or so will prove that White has a very large percentage of wins at the Ruy Lopez opening.
The brilliancy prize at Hanover, offered by Napier and Lewin for their games r. Barde. Dr. Tarras'b, was divided between Messrs. lebea and Swiderski respectively,

Writing in 1899, Mr. P. A. Grabam, the author of Afr. Blackburne's Faves of Chess. was able to say with truth that in the London fournament of that year "it will be observed that the English contingent is composed of middle-aged är elderly men" [the four English competitors were Mosers. Bird, Blackburne, Lee, and Tinsley], "whereas the most conspicu. ons foreign wasters are young. The paranit of chess is not sufficiently Iperative to attract talented English Lads, though the number and ability of our amateurs show that the game is more popular with us than ever it was before." This criticism of English chess is even more true now. No new English professional chess player has arissa; indoed for the past half dozen year or so the only way in which the English professional ranks have been reoraitad is by the emigration to London of some Continental player. But it cannot be said that English chess has suffered. The splendid success of Mr. H. E. Atkins at Hanover shows the standard discoveries which may be reached by English smalours, and there are one or two players in London and the provinces who are at least not far behind Mr. Atkins The distinction between 203.master" and first-class amateur is, indeed,
