CHESS.
LETTER FROM MAGNUS SMITH.
Magnus Smith, a former Winnipegger and champion chess player, writes as follows to the Free Press from Brooklyn. N. Y., under date of April 8:
“In reply to a number of complaints addressed to me personally by subscribers of the Chess Weekly, who have not received that publication of late. I wish to announce that I have severed my connection with the magazine during the latter part of February, 1910, and that I am in no way responsible for any irregularity in its issue since that time. I also wish to thank American chess players generally for their kind appreciation of my humble efforts while connected with the Chess Weekly, and hope my able successors, Messrs. Rosebault and Capablanca, will carry on the work in a still more satisfactory manner. May I ask that you kindly note the above in your valuable paper.”
