EXPERT PROVES SKILL AT CHESS
Alexander Alekhine, world famous chess player, played 34 games simultaneously last night at the Mechanics' Institute, losing only three games, drawing 5 and winning 26. Two of the games were played by him blindfold, and these Alekhine won.
At the world championship chess tournament, which was held last August in London, Alekhine lost to Jose Capablanca, for many years chess champion of the world, by half a point. He is to play Capablanca in New York some time in December for the championship and a $10,000 purse.
At the tournament last night Alekhine faced members of the Chess Club, holding the championship west of Chicago. There were such players as Dr. H. Epsteen, F. L. de Long, and H. McConiga, who constituted the victors; G. E. Branch, C. L. Bagby, Charles Fisher, D. Vedensky and B. Haneford, who tied with Alekhine.
Yesterday afternoon Alekhine played a consultation game against E. W. Gruer, Dr. W. R. Lovegrove and F. L. De Long, which he won in 34 moves. He made use of the Ruy Lopez gambit.
