CHESS EXPERTS TO CLASH
Rubinstein and Lasker Arrange
Plans for a Match.

According TO news received I'm this city
Yesterday, A. X. Rubinstein. chess cham
pion OF Russia, who this year won the
international tournament at San Sebas-
tIan and Poestyen and tied for first with
Duras at Bresau. has come to an under
standing with Or. Emanuel Lasker, the
worlds champion. whom he visited after
the conclusion Of the Breslau congress.
II appears that Rubinsteia has accept
ed terms which are practically identical
with those named by DR.. Lasker when
the latter accepted the challenge of Jose
T. Capablanca, OF Cuba The only -
ference is that the match. instead OF six.
Will be one of eight games up. draws not
counting.
The match viii last no longer than
thirty games, except in case one or the
other OF the principals happens TO lead
AT that stage by one game only. In that
case the conditions provide for an addi-
,ional four games, the match to end as
soon az one OF them scores another
point. If all four Of these extra games
are drawn. then the match will go on rec
ord as a draw.
The time limit will be twelve moves an
hour and the playing sessions either four
hours straightaway or two and one half
hours In the afternoon followed by anoth-
er game In the evening.
The only point Of disagreement is in the
time OF starting, Rubinstein preferrlng
II a. m. while DR.. Lasker desires after
noon and evening play In the interest of
the spectators. II is not believed. how
ever, that this will prove a serious him
drance to a conclusion OF the negotiation.
