[35] The EDITOR cannot avoid observing, that if instead of the retreat here made by the knight, the queen were transported to the black queen’s rook’s square, check-mate might be soon effected. He has hitherto forborne, and he will not multiply remarks on these games, played _ex tempore_, lest it should seem hypercritical. In few cases, indeed, would a passing animadversion on a single move be of utility. A proposed change, before it can add any thing to the store of experience, must have its consequences traced in a back game.
