Chess 29 Jan 1922, Sun San Francisco Chronicle (San Francisco, California) Newspapers.com
We are obliged to Morgan Ward, president of the University of California Chess club, for the following interesting item: “Last Tuesday evening State Champion E. W. Gruer gave a simultaneous exhibition at the U of C chess club. He played thirteen games; won eleven, drew one and lost one. Play lasted about two and a half hours.” Ward is too modest; he failed to mention that he won the game that Gruer lost. It remained for Gruer to identify the winner. He also forwarded the score of the game which appears below.
Game No. 57
From Gruer's simultaneous exhibition at the University of California Chess club:
Elmer Walker Gruer (white) vs. Morgan Ward (black)
