(Chatto and Windus.)—Two hundred and thirty games were played in the Chess Tournament of last year. These are all given in this volume, and there are also added annotations by the chief competitors. Of these we have also portraits. Together with this we may mention The Principles of Chess, by James Mason (Horace Cox), a second edition, revised and enlarged.
