Max Judd, the St. Louis chess master, was able to prolong his stay in San Francisco until last Thursday, and consequently the local chess players had an opportunity to see more of the genial and talented expert.
On Sunday afternoon last he contested two games with Oscar Samuels at the rooms of the Mechanics' Institute Chess Club, and both were drawn. The first game was stubbornly contested and lasted nearly five hours. Tuesday night Mr. Judd availed himself of another opportunity to meet Dr. W. R. Lovegrove, the local champion. The contest took place at the rooms of Dr. Benjamin Marshall and three games were played. The first game went to Dr. Lovegrove, who forced his adversary to resign after eighteen moves. The ending was quite a pretty one. The other two games were won by Mr. Judd. The score of the first and third games are appended.
In the first encounter between these two exponents Dr. Lovegrove scored four games to Max Judd's one. The total score of the two contests stands in favor of the local expert, 5 to 3.
Wednesday night Max Judd entertained the members of the Mechanics' Institute Chess Club with a simultaneous exhibition. He was opposed by six strong players and Howe was the only player to win his game. The record is as follows:
Ott, Lost.
Jones, Lost.
Griffin, Lost.
Howe, Won.
Nevill, Drawn.
Dr. Franklin's game was unfinished with a difficult but possible win.
