And obviously Hacker was the only person to win from Krieger It is probable that the third position will go to John W Barnhart Krieger has informed us he is willing to accept challenges for the title from all comers play to be governed bycertain- restrictions to be set by the club directors And it is - our opinion that the glove will be tossed back to him by at least three players of the club body who would enjoy meeting him in match play J HE CHESSBOARD The chessboard for this week presents two games in which the chess editor took Black’s part They were played in the championship round robin at the Mount Vernon Chess Club.
The first is our game with John W Barnhart which we lost In the second using the same defense we drew with Max Hacker 1I-Q-K2 l’-N3 Indian Defense
