n ORMAN 7. WHITAKER, captain
of the Washington team in
the London Washington chess
cable matches, has received
! from G.. r. Hardcastle, secretary of the
London Chess League, signed condi-
lions of play for the next match, which
is to be held on March 81, 1881. The
match will be played by teams of six
players. In Washington the match will
be played under the auspices and di-
rection of Whitaker and in London I'M
der the auspices and direction of the
London Chess League.
| The match will begin at am. and
! continue until pm. unless completed
before that time. Play shall be ad-
/ iourned at O'Clock for one hour.
Games unfinished at the close of play
| shall be adjudicated by adjudicators to
| be appointed by the Federation Inter-
rationale des Eches. Each player will
moves in one hour and not less than
40 moves in two hours. The laws Of
/ chess as compiled for and published by
/ the British Chess Federation in 1924
! will govern the match. The Kuhns
/ cable code is to be used in transmitting
/ the moves.
The conditions are substantially the
same as for the last match, except that
/ it has been heightened one hour, with
! the object of having more moves made.
/ A N important modification has been
/ "A suggested by Whitaker with refer
/ ence to the pairing Of players. The
/ boards are lettered conSecutively A, =,
III, o, u, Y. Immediately before the
match Washington is to toss up Tor
1 first move and the present rule pro-
vides that If heads" turn up WASH
ington shall have the move on boards
A. I. u and London on boards +, Q, Y,
and vice versa II tails" turn up. Wash
| ington then cables its team in the or
der of play and London then does IKE
wise.
Because OF criticism on both sides OF
| the ocean at the pairing Of players in
the previous matches, Whitaker has
suggested that after the toss up for
| first move has been made the team
having the move on board A will cable
the name of the player for said board.
! The opposing team will then cable the
name of his opponent, also the name OF
the player of the white pieces on board
E: these nominations to continue until
all the six boards are paired.

London Times, has been suggested as
Washington umpire at London. DR.. N.
