Try playing this over, and note how
simple it is.
Notice that the ranks number from
white's side of the board toward
black's and that the files are numbered
from Q R to K R. That the diagonals
running "northeast" increase by 11
each square; those running "north
west" decrease by 9 each square.
White's K B stands originally on 61;
the sum of these digits is 7, an odd
number. Now, no matter where this B
may go, the sum of the digits in each
square will be odd. His major diag
onal is a line of sevens, 61, 52, 43, 34,
25 and 16. Black's Q B stands at 38;.
his major diagonal is a. row of elev
ens. In fact, the sum of the digits in
any white colored square will be an
odd number. And the other bishops
run on black squares, having an even
"excess" of nines for adding the di
gits of any number Is the shortest
method of casting out the nines.
White's Q B major diagonal is 31, 42,
53, 64, 75 and 86, or an "excess" of 4,
6, 8, etc.
The obliques (the knight's move)
are easily remembered: whenever he
moves "northeast" the square is just
12 greater than the one he left. If
"northwest," 8 less; if "southeast," 8
greater, and if "southwest," 12 less.
In a general way (from White's view
point) a knight's move forward and
toward the right hand increases by 12;
and toward the left hand, decreases
by 8. By casting out the nines, it will
be found that the knight changes from
odd to even, and vice versa, with each
move.
Pawns advance by an increase or de
crease of 1, and capture by an in
crease or decrease of 11 or 9. Knight's
advance or capture by an increase- or
decrease of 12 or 8. . Bishops advance
or capture by an increase or decrease
of 11 or 9 or some multiple thereof.
Rooks advance or capture by an in
crease or decrease of 1 or 10 or some
multiple thereof. The queen, of course,
combines the powers of B and R. The
king combines the powers of B and
R, limited to one square at a time.
Castles is written by annexxing 00 to
the number of square to which the
king goes.
Pawn promotion is written thus:
67782, which means that a white pawn
captures an adverse piece at K Kt 8
and becomes a queen. Or 17185, a
white pawn reaches Q R 8 and becomes
a knight.
Positions are written" with the piece
number and square number combined:
White, 345 is R at Q 5; 218, Q at Q R
8, and so on.

SOLUTION AND SOLVERS.
Too much turkey! Solutions go over
another week; "also our chat with the
boys. Our letter box is full and our
stenographer taking a vacation. But
we must stop the press to say that Dr.
F. B. Van.Nuys has retired from his
chess labors on the Tiffin (O.) Tri
bune and the chess world will miss
his bright comment and excellent
problems and games. However, he has
an able successor in Mr. Julius C. Ep
pens and Tribune readers will hot
lack for the good things of chess.
ATTENTION, NEBRASKA!
Nebraska chess players have either
had too much chess or have fallen
asleep. Several games in the Missis-,
sippi match are dragging along and
the southern players have been obliged
to make complaint. Wake up! And
either play chess on time, or resign
good haturedly.
By the way, both Ohio and Iowa
want a match with Nebraska. We
want 15 or more players who know
the value of promptness, and how to
push pawns, to play in both matches.
Spak up, boys; who will volunteer?
en weeks for ten cents! Try The
Independent that long at any irate.
