opening known as the "Center Gambit". Although not as powerful
as the classical move of 2.Nf3, it may occasionally be adopted
for variety's sake.} exd4 3. Nf3 c5 {3.Bb4+ is here
recommended by most authors as the best play at Black's
command. Without being disposed to combat this opinion, we
think that they have unjustly condemned this move in the text,
which, with the best after play on both sides, leads to a game
where the first player,s advantage is by no means as marked as
would be inferred from their criticisms.} 4. Bc4 {White may
also move here 4.c3 a move strangely enough overlooked by the
leading authorities, who make the second player commit the
obvious error of capturing pawn with pawn.} Nc6 5. c3 Qf6

queen in the Scotch gambit. In the above position, it is
probably the best play on the board.} 6. O-O d6 7. cxd4 cxd4

game before us is the first in which that most beautiful of
openings, the "Evans Gambit", ocurrs between these two
distinguished players. M'donnell had for some time been
familiar with the attack, having analyzed this debut with its
originator, Captain Evans. Labourdonnais, on the other hand,
was comparitavely unacquainted with this new style of play,
and although unfortunate in the first encounter deserves great
credit for the skill and patience with which he elaborated the
defence in subsequent games.} Bxb4 5. c3 Ba5 {Our readers are
all aware that there has long existed a difference of opinion
among good players as to the relative advantages of 5...Ba5
and ...Bc5. The latter move, in our opinion affords a more
satisfactory defence than any at the second player's choice.}
6. O-O {This was considered White's best play until after the
death of both these illustrious chess athletes. Later analysis
has proved 6.d4 followed by 7.O-O, etc, to be the strongest
line of attack at this juncture. } d6 {6...Nf6 is the correct
move. If, in reply, White advanced 7.d4, Black replies with
...O-O, and will preserve a safe and well developed game. }

retreating the bishop to b6. } 8. dxe5 Bg4 9. Bb5 Bxf3

captured the king's pawn with queen on his last move, he must
