Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-29-16  optimal play: Wallace-Esling 1895 Australian Championship

Game 2, Wednesday 12th June

<The play in this match was resumed at the rooms of the Melbourne Chess Club, at the Athenaeum, yesterday at 2 p.m., when the second game of the contest was commenced.

Mr. Wallace had the move, and adopted the Queen's Pawns opening, which went on usual lines, but Mr. Esling on his 13th move, by a mistaken advance of his Q B P, lost his Q R P, obtaining at the same time an inferior position.

Mr. Wallace prosecuted his advantage in convincing style, and at the 5 o'clock adjournment Mr. Esling had a lost game, and he resigned on his opponent's 27th move, shortly after the resumption of play at 7.45 p.m.>
