stands today as one of the most bril-
liant in the annals of chess.
He was born in Somerville, Mass,
Dec. 5, 1872, where, by the by, Barker.
the checker champion, was also born.
The following shows his record to date:

He is a combination Of the two
schools, a master of theory and tao
tics and natural genius in
strategic coups. He is cool, quiet
steady in his play, never allowing
nervousness or irritability to overcome
him at any time, which, perhaps, is a
potent factor in his tournament tri
umphs.
AS a blindfold player he has few
equals, and is nearly as good as Black
burne, the erst English champion, in
his palmiest days, and fully his peer
now, having played as many as twelve
simultaneously with success, and his
complete mastery over the various po-
sitions and his ability to make several
brilliant coups and combinations at
one time is a remarkable feature Of
his powers Of concentration.

there was not the slightest hope of Arson

themselves from discussing the subject.
