| 14 | to | 32 | — | 16 | — | 7 | to | 3 | |

| 28 | to | 32 | — | 20 | — | 7 | to | 2 | |

| 27 | to | 24 | — | 23 | — | 12 | to | 16 | |
| 24 | to | 28 | — | 24 | — | 16 | to | 19 | |
| 32 | to | 27 | — | 25 | — | 26 | to | 22 | (forced, or Black gets the breeches and wins a man) |
| 27 | to | 24 | — | 26 | — | 19 | to | 23 | |
| 28 | to | 32 | — | 27 | — | 23 | to | 26 | |

| 27 | to | 18 | — | 29 | — | 25 | to | 15 |
And the game assumes the following position:—
Which is to win? It is Black’s move.
THE WHILTER OPENING.

| 9 | to | 14 | — | 3 | — | 25 | to | 22 |
| 11 | to | 16 | — | 4 | — | 26 | to | 23 |
| 5 | to | 9 | — | 5 | — | 17 | to | 13 |
