"IT'S YOUR MOVE The Morning Call's Chess and Checker Column Problems, Games, Positions in End Games and News Items Will Be Welcomed XV. It. STECKEL, Editor The 6howing of Prank J. Marshall In the New York International Chess Tournament has been quite disappointing up to this time. Ke lost his game with Kevitz in the first round, and Santasiere also succeeded in lowering his colors when they completed their adjourned game from the third round.
The latter game went to eighty-three moves, the longest of the tournament. Marrhall had an advantage of a pawn early in the game, but Santasiere was able to bring about an ending with a rook and even pawns on each side. At the wind-up it appeared that Marshall might be stalemated, but In promoting his pawn Santasiere asked for a knight instead of a queen and Marshall's resignation was in order. At the end of the seventh round, with three adjourned games still to be decided, the standing is as follows: CapaManca 6 Kashdan ' Kevitz 5 Lfisker Santasiere ....t 3 Turover 3 Horowitz . I'ike 21 Sterner t a mm II J 1 Kuochtk J' u - Fox 4Vi 4 5' The 1910-31 Chess tournament of the Bethlehem Chefs ' club has just bsen completed.
H. Ilesfe and William huler were tied for first place, with J. Alhrreht a close second. The Lehigh Valley Che?;-, tournament ! was won by H. Hesrc of Bethlehem, with William Shuler the runner up.
For the third time in succession Frank B. Walker placed first in the I tournament for the District of Columbia title. Last year I. S. Turover donated a handsome trophy to be contested for annually and to be the property of the person winning it three times in succession.
Walker, who is also champion of the Capitol City Chess club. Washington, D. C. has two legs on the cup. In the second round of the present international tournament, Frank J. Marshall, U. S. champion, defeated Maurice Fox, champion of Canada, in a lively game which is scored as fol- POX BLACK KI-KB3 P-K3 B-KT5ch Q-K2 P-QKT3 BxBch P-Q3 PxP KKT-Q2 P-B3 Castles P-KB4 KTxP Q-KT5 QKT-Q2 KT-B4 KT-R5 P-QKT4 -K2 K-R Rc .... I Isaac Kashdan added a well earned j i point to his score in his game with ; Edward Lasker in the second round 01 the same tournament. Lasker mis-1 judged the position at his twenty-fifth move when Kashdan advanced his pawn to KB4.
The position was a complex one and Lasker would probably have had a better game by capturing the pawn en passant. Lasker had a hopeless game after losing the exchange, and with a weak isolated pawn at K5 he resigned. lows: Irregular MARSHALL WHITE 1 P-Q4 2 KT-KB3 3 P-B4 4 B-2 5 Q-B2 6 P-K4 7 QX'IxB 8 P-K5 9 PxP 10 Q-K4 11 Q-KT4 12 B-Q3 11 PxP e.p. 14 Q-R4 15 Castles CH 15 KR-K 17 B-B2 18 KT-KT3 19 P-QR3 20 BxPch 21 KX-K5 23 QxKT 24 Q-K3 - 25 R-KT4 26 KT-Q4, 27 R-B4 23 R-B3 29 Q-Q2 30 KTxB 31 Q-K2 32 P-R3 33 R-Q 34 QxR , 35 Q-Q3 36 KT-4 37 KT-KT3 38 Resigns.
