Oscar Chajes to Give Exhibition Open to All on Tuesday Evening.
By L. UEDEMANN.
At the West Side Chess club, which now has its quarters at 211 Twelfth street, the winter season was opened last Monday by Einer Michelsen, the young champion of the Western Chess association, who met twelve of the members in simultaneous play. The single player annexed ten scalps, but the other games went against him.
Tuesday evening the club's champion, Oscar Chajes, will give a similar exhibition and players from any part of the city are invited to take a board, but, to be sure of a game, must bring their boards and men. The club is arranging for a handicap tournament which style of contest, in most chess clubs is of greater advantage to all classes of players than even tournaments.
The tournament committee of the Chicago Chess and Checker club has arranged a program for every Monday of the season and this night will be open to non-members. There will be simultaneous play Nov. 11, Dec. 4, Jan. 13, Feb. 10, and March 9. The above dates are at the same time special “ladies nights.” Lectures on openings or other chess talks take place Nov. 18, Dec. 16, Jan. 26, Feb. 17 and March 16.
