CHESS Games — Problems By Paul L Cromelin MARSHALL BEATS 26 rank J Marshall found unusual strength pitted against him last St turday at the Official Opening of Uie new Mount Vernon Chess Club and was forced to yield four draws and a full point out of 25 before the evening was over George M Sharrard of White Plains president of the Westchester County Chess League was the winner John W Barnhart and E S Jackson Jr of Bronxville and rank H oley and Max Hacker of Mount Vernon scored the draws rank Janet made the dedicatory talk drawing from the history of chess the happy thought that the Mount Vernon C C starts its existence at the beginning of a new wave of interest in the game This he proved with parallels drawn from past periods of unusual interest to chess play-e -s Herman Helms Editor of the American Chess Bulletin spoke briefly on organized activity predicting success for the club on the basis of the groundwork already done in organization.
The simultaneous exhibition began about 9:45 P M and before one the next morning the final holdout had been eliminated One of the early surprises was caused by Mrs Ben W McCready who first slowed Marshall up in his speedy march around the rectangle or quite a while our Raphael gave the champion reason for lengthy pauses at her position but finally succumbed to the experience of her opponent Marshall played 1 P-K4 on all the boards' and then made the first rapid round with 2 P-Q4 which produced all sorts of variations in the Danish Center and Counter Gambits with a few rench and Sicilians thrown in for good measure But at board 10 sat E S Jackson Jr and there Marshall paused a moment shook hands and played 2 Kt-KB3! Jackson later drew and left no doubt in the minds of many spectators that the pressure he exerted on Marshall materially helped Sharrard at the next table to win John Hannan Chess Enthusiast arrived early from Newburgh! Later on in the evening he was awarded first prize in the Problem Contest Second prize went to Dr H M Berliner of the Bronx and Third Prize to R S Greenwald of New Rochelle.
