The committee has decided to give three prizes to those who place first, second and third.

The tournament will be a two-point knockout affair to give mediocre players a fair chance to get several games with Interesting competition.

The following is the standing of the women's tournament at Prague: Player Won Lost Miss Menchlck 8 Frau Wulf-Kalmer 4 Mrs. Stevenson 3'i Proken Beskow 2V4 Fraulein Hentschcl 2 There are more than 200.000 of playing the first four moves alone on a chess board.
The two kings with a single reacatlng piece can be transposed 250,000 times. With the first 10 moves the total of possible ways rises to 169,000,000,000, followed by 15 more naughts. On the basis of these calculations it Is possible to estimate the total number of possible moves. A rather conservative estimate fixes this total at 20,609,637.968, followed by 78 naughts. It is impossible to convey a adequate description of the magnitude of these figures, as they defy human Imagination.
