We wish to correct an error into which we, inad vertently, fell last week, when we stated that there was such a disregard for the rules of Chess at the Mercantile Library. It appears that there is a re gular code;of lawß in force at that popular resort, Which is rigidly adhered to by most of the players. It is not precisely the code of Philidor, nor yet the Dummy Code of the British Chess Association, but What of that 1 If Great Britain may set up for her self, in opposition to the expressed verdict of all Christendom, why may not Young America do the flame, we should like to know. The code of the Mercantile Library has not yet been printed, but we feel that it ought to be, and therefore surrender a considerable part of our space, tc-day, to it, which we hope will satisfy everybody that we bear no grudge or ill-will to that excellent institution. / . THE LAWS OF CHESS. Aj revised by the Players nf the ilentntilc Library. OF THE BOABD. The Chess-board should be composed of-sixty four squares, plated with two-inch-iron, which will resist the blows of the strongest players. OF THE PIECES. .The pieces should be made of box-wood and ebo ny, which may be .whittled into various patterns, according to the tastes of individual players. If the Books are of a Bquare shape, they may be used to notch the score of match games. 111. OF MOVES. The King should be moved as early and often as possible. It is a powerful piece, and should be promptly brought into play. The pawnß should ad vince on their own flies, unless their progress is im peded by a hostile piece or pawn, when they should take a diagonal direction, flanking the opposing force. When in any doubt, always push a pawn. They are of very little value, and their capture is always lost time. The other pieces may be moved from the board at the option of either player, who, upon saying tl Je vole,” may put them in his pocket and carry them home. IV. TOUCH AND MOVE. This expression means that you cannot move a piece without touching it. In studying your move, place the piece or pawn on the proposed square, and then look at the position. If you don’t like its appearance, replace it and try another one. You may get the right one at last. ON DEFENCE. 'When two pieces are attacked, withdraw them flimultaneously, if your opponent does not object. If he does, withdraw the minor piece, as the chances are he has some deep plot connected with Its cap ture. Counter-attack should never be resorted to, exoept in extreme straits. A game should never be abandoned if a Knight or Bishop remains on the hoard, asrnany interesting positions may arise from the skillful playing of the two Kings. If the King, however, should be captured, the game is lost, OF CONSULTATION. In a closely-contested game the bystanders may make such remarks as may occur to them. A player who cannot take advice, or who is annoyed by ad vice given to his adversary, should not play Chess in a public place, where all are on termß of equality. It will be observed that several innovations have been introduced by this new Code, and we are by no means prepared to accept them without further ex amination. Their publication will elicit a discus sion of their merits, and should they be adopted by the British Chess Abb., we may be induced to re commend their general adoption in this country.
