THE R I CE GA"B I T .SUPPLE"ENT TO 41 11 ED ITION—PRE"ACE .

B lack’s e leven th m ove of K t—Q2 , in the Ja snogrodsky Variation o f theRice Gam bit, appeared in the first edition of that gam bit edited by Lips chue t z,and it was replied to

“

by 1 2 PxB and upon “Kt taking Pawn the analysis cont inued I 3 P

—QKt3, and as the reply to this'

wa s weak , a w in for’

White wasdem onstrated .

I n the Londo n Rice Gam bit tournam ent o f 1 90 4, however "r . Napiershowed that the continuation publ ished in. the Lips chue tz edition was de feated byan e legant sacrifice o f the Kn ight . This caused a pan ic am ong the White fo rcesso that the tournam ent

,which up to that tim e . had been altogether favorab le to

White , final ly ended in a victory for . B lack. N eve rtheless, I d id no t feel , that theun soundness o f the gam bit had been actually dem on strated , inasm uch as m anyl ines we re still ope n to White , and I there fo re pe r sistently continued the inve st igat ions , pa rticularly along lines arising out o f 1 2 B—K t5, K—Q L 1 3 B t ,B xB ; 1 4 R xB , QxP ; 1 5 R t , e tc . I did not , however, confine m ysel f to thatl ine

,but also gave con sideration to the line o f 1 2 PxB

,Pt ; 1 3 Q—K2 ,

P— KB 3 ; I 4 K t —Q2 , - ;R —Q but , owing to inco r rect after—play, cam e to theconclusion that this l ine led to de feat .

Las t sum mer "r. Janowski , however, m ade a "uite independent search inthe sam e direction and cam e to the opposite conclusion , which he publ ished inLe "onde I llus

’

tré . I n .this analysis he paid no con side ration to 1 4 R—Q,but found against the m oves o f 1 4 . B—Q2 ,or B—B 4 White would m aintain e"ual ity, i f not gain superior ity, by 1 5 Q—B 2 . This indication , although illum ina t ing, was nevertheless so brief that it could only act as guide into theoutwo rks of the po s ition s ."r . Janowski a lso gave som e con side ration to the m ove 1 2 QxP ,

regarding'

which he gave severa l variation s in an e arlie r num ber of L e "ondeI llus tre

’ which,whi le cor rect in them se lves , in no m anne r exhaust-ed the pos si

bil itie s of B lack, and, there fore , could mot h e con sidered as actua l dem on s tration s of the soundnes s of the gam bit , inasmuch as it fre"uen tly happened in thecourse of the analysis that a l in e of play that dem on strated win s for White innumerou s variation s had neve rthe less to be abandoned finally on account ofdefeat in a va r iation subse"uently com ing to light .Ho ,wever the suggestion s o f"r . Janowski were so prom i sing that I determ ined to sub"ect them to a m o stexhaus tive exam ination . To that end, I availed m ysel f o f the m ost valuableas sistance of a num ber of the st rongest playe r s of the Rice Chess C lub , whovolunteered to conduct the black p ieces while I played the white, s o as to m akeas certain as po ssible in the analysis that every resource o f B lack should, as faras po ssible, be discovered .

-A s the result of this analysis , I now present , through the Am erican Ches sB u lle tin, fifty five variation s , together with num e rous sub variations , which havebeen cr itically exam ined and com p i led by D r .H. K e idanz , the editor of thefourth edition of the Rice Gam bit, as a substitute for variation s 77 to 1 0 8 of thateditio n . Should the analysis prove corre ct, . and thus the soundn ess of the RiceGam bit es tablished , I and m y colleagues in this work wi l l feel ourse lves com

plete ly repaid for our labor by the broaden ing o f the scope o f the open ings available for m atches and tournam ents now unfo rtunate ly so restr icted, as in that

case the King’s Gam bit could be offered with no le s s safety - than the Q ueen’s
