Chajes and Black Tie In Chess Title Match
Largely owing to the efforts of Oscar Chajes, who defeated R. T. Black in the seventh round, A. Kupchik, state chess champion, was enabled to tie with Black for first place in the annual championship tournament of the Manhattan Chess Club yesterday. Kupchik had O. W. Field as opponent, the latter being defeated in forty-five moves.
M. D. Hago scored against Pokorny by default and tied with Chajes for third place, half a point behind the leaders. The game between Chajes and Black, in which Black adopted the Petroff defense, was a fine struggle, lasting sixty-nine moves.
