Intercollegiate Chess Tournament.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The games in the Chess Tournament with Yale have not progressed far enough as yet to enable one to say which college has the advantage. The Ruy Lopez game adopted by Yale in the first game, is the attack used lately by Steinitz in his games with Tschigorin. The defence offered by Harvard is, however, considered perfectly safe by the best authorities. The Scotch Gambit with which Harvard opened the second game is a strong attack, and to oppose it Yale has adopted the defense used by Steinitz.

On Monday Harvard made no move as Yale was late in replying to the previous move. Harvard moved yesterday, however, and telegraphed so as to catch up to the usual time.

The following moves have been made:

YALE. HARVARD.
