CHESS NOTES.

[written by Aleister Crowley under the pen name "Ta Dhuibh"]

Lewes has fallen! A great and glorious victory have we won. Five and a half games to two and a half hardly represents our superiority, as our only loss was by a gentleman who has been prevented by illness from much play this season, and at board No. 2, the game (adjudicated drawn) was really a win for us, as subsequent analysis demonstrated. Score:

The following is the game adjudicated to us in spite of the strenuous opposition of the Lewes player, who did not seem to realise his peril at all.

No. 6. Q K B Sq.
