Jul-13-13  optimal play: <<<<<<THE CENTENNIAL CHESS CONGRESS.>

THE MAJOR TOURNEY.>

In the Major Tourney of the Centennial Chess Congress play was continued during yesterday at the City Bank Hall... At board 4 Mr Brocklebank played Petroff's defence against Mr Stanley, who replied with Petroff's own rejoinder of 3 P to Q 4. On his fourth move Mr. Brocklebank adopted a weak continuation, and Mr Stanley obtained a strong attacking game. By failing, however, to follow up his early advantage with sufficient vigour he allowed his opponent to assume what threatened at any moment to become an embarrassing attack. Mr Brocklebank improved his position by slow degrees and finally succeeded in breaking up Mr. Stanley's game.>

Time - Mr. Stanley, 2 hours 12 minutes ; Mr. Brocklebank, 1 hour 55 minutes.>

This left the scores of the competitors at the close of the day's play :-

Mr Charlick, 2 ; Mr Crane, 2 ; Mr Brocklebank, 1 ; Mr Lampe, 1 ; Mr Stanley, 1 ; Mr Tullidge, 1 ; Mr Hay, 0 ; and Mr Higgs, 0.>
