GAME II.-Between Messrs. Cochrane and Staunton. WHITE. (Mr. S.) 1. P. to K's 4th. BLACK. (Mr. C.) 1. P. to K's 4th. Black played ingeniously in offering to give up the Kt. If White had taken it, he must have been subjected to an embarrassing attack for some little time. † Had he played on the P. (dis. ch.), he could not take the Q. until his King was removed. Taking the Q. would have been fatal to him. 2. P. to Q. B's 3d. 3. K. Kt. to B's 3d. 4. K. Kt. takes P. 5. P. to Q's 4th. 6. Q. Kt. to Q's 2d. 7. Q. Kt. takes K. Kt. 8. Q. B. to K. B's 4th. 9. Q.

THIS opening comprises every_variety of the game in which the first player, after 1. P. to K's 4th has been played on both sides, commences the attack by moving 2. P. to K. B's 4th. Should the second player take this Pawn with his King's Pawn, he is said to accept the gambit. This gambit has many modifications, the names appropriated to which will be found in their proper places in the following pages. THE KING'S GAMBIT PROPER, OR KING'S KNIGHT'S WHITE. GAMBIT.
