Apr-24-14		optimal play: <<<CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP.> SCORES:- A. E. N. WALLACE, 4 ; R. L. HODGSON, 1.> FIFTH GAME.> [Immediately following the conclusion of game 4 on Saturday, the fifth game was commenced, and eventually adjourned on move 24 with the resumption on Monday] <<When the adjournment took place on Saturday afternoon it was evident that if Mr Wallace had sealed the right move another victory would be credited to him. On resumption of play it was found that Mr Wallace had selected the "coup jouste", viz, 24 P takes R, which left Mr Hodgson without compensation for his absent rook. After a few futile moves the Victorian player toppled over his king in token of resignation.> - The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW) issue Tuesday 28 April 1896> Time - Wallace (white) 1 hour 12 minutes; Hodgson (black) 1 hour 57 minutes "coup jouste" I think may possibly mean "blow to the ribs" ? 9.Bb2 was played against Blackburne in a blindfold simul on his Australian tour more than ten years earlier, A Burns vs Blackburne, 1885 but whereas Blackburne played 9...Qe7 and won, Hodgson tried 9...Ne4 (which appears to be a TN for 1896) with less success. The position after 17.Qe1 is better for black, but then Hodgson errs with 17...Qh6? instead of playing the much stronger 17...Rg3! 21.d5! And just four moves later, Wallace is now in the winning position, with both this game and the match overall. Match score after five games:- 1-0-1-1-1 [+4 =0 -1] (4/5) Wallace 0-1-0-0-0 [+1 =0 -4] (1/5) Hodgson The Championship to be awarded to the player to seven wins.
