Minnesota Chess Champion to Give Exhibition Here
Dr. Giles A. Koelsche, state chess champion of Minnesota, will be in Missoula today, local chess enthusiasts said last night. Dr. Koelsche, who lives in Rochester, has said he is willing to appear here, and tentative plans for an exhibition in which he will play several games simultaneously have been made.
Anyone interested in the exhibition is asked to call Dr. H C. Sheppard at 5570. Dr. Shepard said that the public may be interested in such an exhibition, since it is only rarely that a chess player of high caliber can be seen here. He said that Dr. Koelsche recently defeated 15 opponents in simultaneous games.
