THIS BOY IS A CHESS WONDER
E. M. Edwards.
A BOY chess “phenom” is astonishing the veteran players of Philadelphia. E. M. Edwards, the new wonder, is a thirteen year old school boy. He can be seen almost every day playing the cracks of the Mercantile Library Chess Club, and compelling many of the best players of that ancient organization to admit defeat. Recently Edwards played a simultaneous game against six opponents at the Norristown Chess Club. He played in all eleven games, winning six, losing one and drawing four. Young Edwards has tried his skill against Dr. Lasker, the world's champion, but did not succeed in wresting the title from that player. He recently played a game with Capablanca, the Cuban prodigy, and lost by a narrow margin. A player of International fame, who analyzed Edwards' game with Capablanca said that he could find no flaw in the boy's playing, he having made the very best move possible in every instance. Capablanca won by superior play, with no error on the part of his boyish opponent to aid him.
