C. S. Martinez's Chess Record
Charles S. Martinez, the chess player who defeated Champion Lasker at the Franklin Chess Club, Philadelphia, last week, was born in Cuba in 1868. He is the son of the well known expert, D. M. Martinez, who played several matches with Steinitz and Captain Mackenzie. In 1886, the younger Martinez won the first prize in the Junior Chess Club tournament, winning nine and a half points and losing a half. In the match between the Manhattan and Franklin Chess clubs on Decoration Day, 1901, he drew his game with Marshall, while this year he won the championship of the Franklin Chess Club, winning ten games, drawing two and losing only one to Newman. Martinez is ordinarily a rapid and rather an impulsive player. He belongs to the Morphy-Janowski school.
