Girl Chess Star Plays Against Convict By Mail
Miss Jessie Bogen, 20, of 255 Loraine-av senior in the University of Cincinnati is declared to be the only woman in Ohio who plays a champion's game of chess.
At the chess tournament Friday and Saturday at Columbus between picked teams from Ohio State, Ohio Wesleyan and Capital universities and the University of Cincinnati Miss Bogen was the only one on the Cincinnati team to win from Ohio State, admittedly the strongest team in the contest.
Results Are Awaited
The Cincinnati team was expecting the winning team in the tourney to be announced Wednesday. When they left Saturday other teams had not finished play.
The Cincinnati players were Miss Bogen, her brother, Emil Bogen, Paul Buttenweiser, Chas Layng and Sol Fineberg.
Miss Bogen's father, Boris D. Bogen is a chess player and her uncle Dr. Moses Scholtz was city champion last year.
Began Playing at 12
Miss Bogen started playing when she was 12 years old.
In correspondence games each player notifies his opponent of each move by mail, sometimes 100 postcards being used.
Miss Bogen is playing a correspondence game with a prisoner in San Quentin (Cal.) penitentiary, whom she “met” thru a chess journal. She only knows him by prison number.
