ALL EYES ON BUDA PEsTH.
Interest of Local Chess Players I'm the
Tourney of the Experts,
Al the Washington Chess Club the subject
OF politics Is nearly as much discussed as
mat OF chess. The friends Of gold and sill
Yer, too. are nearly evenly divided. The
tournament to begin next month is seldom
mentioned. No entries have yet been made
for 1t. The members are taking a great
ceal OF interest In the Brooklyn Washing
ton correspondence games the positions in
which are becoming more interesting The
iecal club has won pawn in one game,
with prospects Of winning another
A good deal Of interest is taken in the
i'uoa resin tournament, but 1t is principal
~ centered In PilsbuTy. He is but one-half
game behind Winawer, the leader AS this
Is written he has only four games more to
play, ana ne Will need to win most Of them
TO secure first place. He has yet to contest
with Wtnawer, Walhrodt, Charousek and
Iarrasch, any one Of whom may take a
game from him. Winawer has shown un-
rsuai strength thus far. and is again show
ing tne form OF fifteen or more years ago
Al nuremberg he appeared to be out
classed. He is now ahead. His remaining
contestants are Tschigorn. Walbrodt, Cha.
rcusek and Pillsbury. Tschigorin is a close
rival for first honors He has vet to NAV
Winawer, Tarrasch, Albin, Schlechter and
.haroczy. -Charousek Is a close fourth and
he may finish ahead of one of those previ-
ously mentioned The same is true of jan
oWski, who stands fifth. The Door scores
made by Maroczy and Tarrasch are sur
rrisng.
The Brooklyn Chess Club has held Its an
Eual meeting and has reelected Mr. Ma
rean president for the coming year
toard OF officers and directors were elected
VINO are entirely in sympathy with him. AS
VIII De remembered. Mr.. Marlean and seven
OF the directors resigned last spring. be-
cause OF newspaper article alleged to have
feen published by one of the directors, who
was sustained by the board. The present
action of the club is in the nature of a vim
dication of Mr.. Marean.
The club has also decided to accept the
challenge OF the British Chess Club for an
other cable match. and has appointed
committee to arrange the details.
Inc club also appointed a new chairman
OF ITS correspondence committee, Mr. Stan
ley H. Chadwick, and he appears to be in
charge of the Brooklyn end Of the cores
pondence games with the Washington club
having succeeded Mr.. H. Helms who won
the club championship for two successive
years.
