IN CHESS CIRCLES.

The continuous handicap tourney at the
local club continues to hold the boards to
the almost entire exclusion of other forms
of competition. To those who may not I'M
derstand the principle on which these
matches are played, the explanation may
be made that odds are given by the strong
er players to the weaker by a regular
graduation of classes. Thus A gives to the
class Immediately below him simply the
drawn games, and the difference between
the highest and lowest is as much as a
rock, pawn and the move The record Is
Kept by the easy ard simple method of the
loser handing over to the winner ticket
prepared for that purpose which is depos-
tied in numbered box. To secure fair
ness In the contest, one must play a mini
mum number of games with a minimum
number of players and as many more as
may be desired. A player winning 60 per
cent of his games in one month goes up a
class. and one not winning 10 per cent goes
down a class.
This form Of contest has its advantages
It keeps the spirit of emulation abroad,
which is. in reality. the foundation rock on
which chess is built 1t leads. also, to a
