Cuban Scores Chess Vic
tory Over ChajeS in the
Rice Tourney.

Jose L. Capablanca. OF Havana,
scored his third victory in four games
played 10 date at the expense Of Oscar
Chajes in the fourth round OF the RICE
memorial chess masters tournament az
the rooms Of the Manhattan Chess
Club Yesterday He thereby retains the
lead. with a clean score and one un-
finished game against Janowski, OF
Paris. which will be played off at the
Manhattan &. {. rooms this afternoon,
along with the other adjourned games
from the third round.
While Capablanca shook of Janowski
for the time being, as the French cham
pion could not do better than draw
against Banks, of Detroit. Kupchlk, the
New York State champion, VINO pol
ished off Schroeder, after being pawn
behind. drew up close 10 the cuban.
Another feature Of the round was the
defeat Of H tic the Serbian expert, at
the hands Of Bernstein.
Capablanca. with the white pieces,
essayed the Ruy Lopez against Chages,
who ran up a prepared line OF play
This. however, bothered Capablanca
not at all. and he obtained capital de-
,elopment, as usual. On the twenty
second move the Cuban captured his
opponents weak queens rook pawn.
Seven moves later he added another
pawn TO his store. but gave one back IN
order 20 establish a passed pawn on The
seventh row. This much accomplished,
Capablanca took his ease in bringing
about a forced win after sixty moves;
Janowski, who has an adjourned
game to play off with Capablanca To-
day, found in Banks an opponent
worthy of his steel. The draughts
champion had no use for the slow de-
velopment Of the queens pawn open
ing, and accordingly accepted the
Parisian's gambit Later he boldly
kept his king in the middle OF the
board disdaining TO castle. In the
middle game il was give and take, and
the man from Michigan always had an
adequate move ready in response 70 the
sorties attempted by JanowskI. Finally
Janowski did win pawn, but skilful
plav in the ending, with bishop against
knight. saved the day for Banks, and
the game was drawn after forty-seven
moves.
After four rounds the standing of
the PLAYERS is as follows:
