January 5, 1898; notes by Kemeny; Intro: "The chess clubs of Genoa and Rome
recently played a game by correspondence, which resulted in a victory for the
latter. The game was an Evans Gambit, Genoa selecting the compromised defense.
This variation gives White a powerful attack, yet Black, being two pawns ahead,
by correct play may hold its own. In the present game the defense was played
on somewhat novel lines. Genoa on its eleventh turn played 11...Bxc3 instead
of 11....Rb8. This was followed by 12...b6, as against 12...b5, which forms
the recognized defense. Genoa, by trying to save the b-pawn, soon got in
difficulty, and the castling queenside gave no relief. Rome was enabled to
establish a powerful attack, regaining both pawns. Genoa might have escaped
defeat by a sacrifice of the Queen on the thirty-third move. The play selected
at this stage did not prove satisfactory, and by brilliant tactics Rome was
enabled to force a win on its forty-ninth turn." Ultimate Database shows Adolf
Andersen played the variation five times (four as Black) between 1855 and 1878,
and it appears in three correspondence games since then.--Develop this point

that most experts believe that Black obtains a slight advantage without being

Introduction: "The Cercle Philidor, Paris, recently played  two games with the
L'Echiquier du Nord, of Lille, each winning one. The game, opened by the
latter, was an Evans Gambit Declined, in which Paris was defeated, although it
was creditable both to winner and loser. Paris in the opening moves might have
improved somewhat on its play by moving ...Bd7 instead of ...Nf6 on its tenth
turn. This, however, hardly endgnered the game. The fifteenth move, however,
was not a judicious one, for it displaced the King bishop. From this point to
the end Paris was at a disadvantage, and try as it would it could not
extricate itself. Lille conducted the game most skillfully, and Paris
surrendered on the forty-sixth move, when all the pieces were exchanged, and
its opponents had an easy victory, being two pawns ahead."} 1-0

"The chess clubs of Vienna and St. Petersburg are contesting two games by
correspondence, the moves being transmitted by telegraph. In the first game
Vienna had the first move  and offered the Queen's Gambit. The defense adopted
by St. Petersburg was a somewhat novel one. The Russians sacrificed the Queen
knight quite early in the game. They gained some pawns on the queenside, and
the position was very much in their favor. Vienna, however, succeeded in
bringing about an even game, and a draw is anticipated. (p) In the second game
St. Petersburg selected the Evans Gambit. Vienna defended conservatively,
being quite willing to give up the surplus pawn. The Russians, however,
pursued the attack vigorously. Vienna, with the eighteenth move, was enabled
to turn the tables on its opponents. By a brilliant and sound sacrifice of a
piece a winning attack was obtained. The game is not finished yet, but Vienna
has a decided advantage, both in position and material, having a rook and four
pawns against two minor pieces."} 27... Rab8 28. Rg2 Qh5 29. Kg1 Bxf3 30. Nxf3
