Arlington Champion To Defend Chess Title
Herbert Avram of Arlington, current State champion, has indicated he will defend his title against some 25 contenders at the Virginia Chess Federation's sixteenth annual tournament here September 5, 6 and 7.
A business meeting, set for 10:30 A. M. Saturday at Hotel Richmond will precede the tourney.
The tournament will be a seven-round Swiss system affair, Rodney M. Baine, federation president said yesterday. Under the system, Baine said, as each round is completed, persons with similar scores are paired for the next round.
The tournament is open to Virginia residents and to students attending schools and colleges in the State, Baine said.
