In the last week n few additional entries for The
/ Tribune correspondence tourney have come to hand
and also some suggestions as regards the rules TO
govern these ganes stu there IL difficulty
IN settling this question In order to avoid w
/ necessary delay The Tribune Low offers to compile
a code OF rules on the lines suggested by the com
! priitors tncinsclycs The code viii De pr.n tcd IN
our issue Of January ?. and the games may begin
that week. Following is another .ettcr containing
suggestions as regards tho rules.
/ To the Chess Editor OF The Tribune.
/ Sir. In regard to your request for suggestions
from thu competitors In the correspondence chess
/ tournament would propose that the suggestion OF
.wo games between each OF the players, so that
each can have white and the one that seven moves
\ week be played. be- carried out by having the
two games played at oncc-a player one day send
/ ng hs move as white and the next day replying
As black In IN" second game. This gives one move
"A day but not in each game. rs time Is required 10
get the opponents move To get the seven moves
a week from each contestant would require TWO
! moves on one day. or account OF no mail coming
/ Sunday 50 that IT might be advisable to make the
| Limit tx moves a week.
In order to finish the tournament in a reasonable
space Of time each player should play at least TWO
! ouponcnts at once THIS arrangement would th'h
make every player make two moves DAY.
