The Chess World, for February, con tains the following remarks on the Steinitz de Vere match: t ." We have not examined. many of the games, bnt some who have, say that Mr. Steinitz must have greatly mis taken his powers, or must have been very injudiciously advised when he undertook the task of giving odds to a player of Mr. de Tere's capabilities. From what we have seen of the play, We agree with them ; but the error committed by Mr. Steinitz in'con senting to •this match, is,as nothing com pared to that which he is rumored to have in contemplation, to wit: the challenging of Mr. Anderssen to a contest, upon even terms, for £lOO aside! We suspect, how ever, and hope that this absurd report will prove to be an idle hoax." The report of the contemplated match seems to be true, and we ourselves think that Mr. Steihitz . will be beaten, especially as it is reported that Mr. Anderssen, like certain gambling Chess players, plays best for money.
