SIMULTANEOUS CHESS.
In the rooms of the Boston Chess Club last night, Mr. George H. Walcott won all but one of ten games played simultaneously against all comers. The French defence was a favorite, but did not prove successful in any case. Most of the games were interesting and some good situations were developed.
Although the matter has not been decided, it is more than likely that the Showalter-Barry match will be played in the rooms of tde Boston Chess Club, as there is more local interest in the match than obtains elsewhere.

BIG GAME
ON THE CHESS BOARDS.
THE INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT.
Special to The Times.
New York, March 10.—The fourth annual contest for the Sir George Newnes Anglo-American chess trophy, was begun by cable today. It will be the deciding match, so far as the Americans are concerned, as the terms of the deed of gift provide that a club which wins the trophy three times may retain it, and the British have scored the last two victories, Brooklyn having won the first. Arrangements for the contest have been completed, the names of the players on the two teams and the officials have been announced, and each side is confident of victory. Baron Albert de Rothschild, of Vienna, is referee, to whom all disputes will be submitted. This country is represented in England at the match by Leopold Hoffer, editor of the Field. The British umpire in this country is Professor Isaac L. Rice.
The American reserves are E. E. Southard, champion of Harvard, and George N. Walcott, Boston. The English reserve is H. Walker.
American experts agree that the teams are very evenly matched and the result cannot be predicted. The American team will play at the Assembly rooms of the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, the British playing in the grand hall of the Hotel Cecil, London. The two places will be connected by direct wires, and moves will be forwarded between the two places without delay.
The Newnes Trophy was presented by Sir George Newnes in 1895 for annual competition in cable matches between Great Britain and the United States. It is of silver, and is formed of a centre cup, surmounted by a chess King and surrounded by the Emblems of both countries, mingled with chess designs and pieces. It cost $1,000. The deed of gift names as the Board of Control the presidents of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Chess Clubs in this country, and the presidents of the British and City of London Chess Clubs in England. The defeated club in the last match has the right of first challenge for the next contest.

George H. Walcott Was Awarded the Delmar Honor in the New York State Chess Tournament.
George H. Walcott of the Boston chess club has been awarded the Delmar prize for brilliancy in the New York state chess tournament, recently concluded at Summerville, N. Y., one of the suburbs of Rochester. It was given for the game in which he defeated R. T. Black, champion of the Brooklyn chess club, in the second round. The prize was provided for in the will of Eugene Delmar, a New York banker, who for a generation was one of the most devoted followers of chess in the metropolis. When he died he donated $500, the income of which was to requite the player deemed to have contested the most brilliant game in the annual New York state tournament.
The entry of the Boston men was a decided novelty in itself, half a dozen starting at the last moment to do battle over the chessboard at the summer tourney. It was the first venture out of Boston of the players, except in the case of J. L. Clark of Harvard, who returned with the first masters' prize. Walcott and H. G. Daniel of Boston tied with Black of Brooklyn for second and third. The tournament was a two-round affair in which the appended game was played. It progressed on relatively humdrum lines until whites' 22d move, and could be fairly regarded as an even game to that point. Then came the sacrifice and the irresistible advance of white, to which black succumbed on the 30th move.
George Walcott 28 May 1933, Sun The Cincinnati Enquirer (Cincinnati, Ohio) Newspapers.com
George Walcott, of Cleveland, won the state championship in 1928 from Dr. Keeney, of Cincinnati, Ohio, by a score or 5 to 4. In this match under present conditions Dr. Keeney would have been returned the victor, as with the score tied at the end of five games Dr. Keeney won the sixth game, which should have been declared the decisive battle. In 1929 Mr. Walcott again defeated Dr. Keeney in another hard-fought match by a score of 3 to 2. In 1931 no tournament was held for the Southern Ohio championship and the honors for that year went by default to William Streeter, of Cleveland, Ohio, the Northern Ohio champion for the year. In 1930 the Southern Ohio champion, Lester Brand, was vanquished by George Walcott, of Cleveland, in a hectic and desperate struggle by a score of Walcott 3, Brand 2. In 1932, Brand again representing Southern Ohio, was overwhelmed by George Eastman, Northern Ohio champion for the year by a score of Eastman 3½, Brand ½.
