ADAMS HAS BUSY WEEK
Weaver W. Adams, New England champion and 1948 U.S. open champion, gave convincing proofs of his chess wizardry in the Southland last week when he gave a series of exhibitions and lectures.
Last Tuesday the headquarters of the Hollywood Chess Group was bulging at the seams with spectators when he gave one of his famous lecture exhibitions. Playing against Paul Quillen and Sven Almgren, he explained and analyzed his and his opponents' moves as the game progressed. And, although his opponents, two of the strongest players in California, knew at all times what Adams was up to, both lost. The scores of these games are presented herewith.
Last Thursday he gave a simultaneous exhibition at the same club. He played 18 boards, winning 15, losing to B. Madrid and Dr. Bruce Collins and drawing with Fred Goetze.
On Friday Adams gave a simultaneous exhibition at the Santa Monica Chess Club and last night he gave another lecture exhibition at the Los Angeles Chess Club, 851 S Grand Ave. Here he played against Quillen again and Ray Martin.
Today he will give a simultaneous exhibition at 2 p.m. at the Los Angeles Club under the sponsorship of the County Chess League. Fee $1.50 for players who should take own board and men.
Tomorrow at 8 p.m. he will meet all comers at the Pasadena Chess Club. 37 E Del Mar St. (in Central Park) Pasadena. The fee will be $1 a board and spectators free. Players should take their chess sets and make reservations with Alex Taylor, secretary, 1941 E Galbreth Road, Pasadena.
From here Adams goes to Fresno to continue his tour.
