JAFFE NODS; CHAJES WINS CHESS MATCH
New York, Feb. 29.—Oscar Chajes of Chicago and Charles Jaffe of this city contested the second game of their series at the rooms of the Manhattan Chess Club yesterday with the result that the former Western champion won after forty-six moves and tied the score. Jaffe had the white side of a queen's pawn which was developed on both sides with excellent judgment.
Jaffe won a pawn on the thirty-seventh move, as the Chicagoan had jeopardized it in order to leave bishops commanding squares of different color on the board. With only queens and bishops to work with a draw should have been the result, but Jaffe, at his forty-sixth turn, committed a grievous oversight, costing him a piece and the game.
