I': Note: The first round was marked by a big upset when North City defeated the Masters. Individual points counted in determining the championship.) We are advised that Isaac Kash-dan it looking forward to matches CHESS AND "BY WALTER with Jose R. Capa'olanca and Frank J. Marshall in the near future.
We trust these matches can be duly arranged. Games by correspondence are always of value to the chess student. The one now published was played in the British Chess Federation Correspondence Championship Tournament last year. It is of special interest on account of Black adopting the King's Fianchetto Defense to the Ruy Lopez, a form recently adopted by Kashdan In his game with Alekhine In the Mexican tournament.
