Notes
a. A style of attack seldom
used against the Sicilian, except
among the older English players.
The more common moves are KIT
to either KB3 or Obs.
b. Barry against Atkins played
Kt-KB3 to take P with Kt. The
move used by white results in II
lost move, because he must with
draw his @ when black replies
correctly.
C. There seems to be no object
in this at the moment. Black GER
tainly has all the better Of the
game up to now.
d. In passing this pawn black
attempts to strength his kings po-
sition, but a pawn SO far advanced
is dangerous.
e. Allowing white another
passed pawn to work with the one
on Q6.
+. White had a strong position
and should win, but he does not
seem to know what to do with It..
The movement back and forth of
the two books wastes time.
6. Sensing whites advantage,
he tries for draw.
h. The worst black can get now
is draw, but there are now indi-
cations of a win.
/. A win is now assured. White
Queens the pawn merely out of
Formally, he could have resigned.

Summer Tournament to
Begin August 8 at Local
Club Rooms
(By A. 3. BARKER,


Chess Club activities in the city
at present seem to be at a stand
still. The closing of the active
playing season of the waterbury
Chess Club took place at the Wa
terbury Chess Club two weeks ago,
which leaves them with no games
at the present time. While at the
Y. M. G. A. the tournament has
not been completed and 1t seems
rather difficult to get the players
together long enough to finish the
tournament. The much talked of
match between the team repre-
senting the Waterbury Y. M. c. A.
and the Hartford Chess Club has
not been played much to the dis
appointment Of all of the Connec-
ticut Chess League officials. The
trouble seems to be that the Wa
terbury players could not get to-
gether ana the Hartford Chess
Club felt that they should claim
the match by default. Wiser
heads prevailed and the match
has been set over until September
by the league tournament director.
Written Entries Sought
Last year the Waterbury Chess
Club sponsored a summer tourna-
ment which was open to all play
ers in the city. This year they felt
as IL they would like to do the
same and the tournament COM
mittee has decided that they will
accept written entries from now
until August 1 for places in this
tournament. The players will be
divided into qualifying rounds and
the two men scoring the highest
number of points in each group
will enter the finals. The club in
tends to start this tournament, If
there are sufficient entries, on Au-
gust 3 at the club rooms. There
is no entrance fee and those in
terested should write to the club
at once for their place in the
tournament.
It seems inadvisable to continue
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-07-12

with a chess column throughout
the summer months, because as
you can already see there is little
interest in playing during the
warm weather. With this issue,
therefore, we will discontinue pub
fishing games until the first week
in September, unless your letter TO
the management indicates that
you would like to have it contin-
ued. The last game which is be-
ing published is one between Har-
ry Larsen, champion of the City
of Bridgeport and N. r. Bellome,
champion Of Waterbury for 1895.
1t is a very interesting game and
while my own thoughts are that
white had a winning position at
the time Of adjournment he did
not seem to be able to take adj
vantage of the excellent position
which he had and those who have
followed Mr.. Bellomes games

reau Of Standards to the down

4. That express service start at
7:45 a. m. rather than at 8 a. m.
and the express buses be more
clearly marked.
S. That study be made as to
the possibility of routing some
downtown buses over the Ma
braSka Avenue loop.
6. That the operators Of the
buses be SO trained that opera
ton be made smoother ant. safer.
Copies of the resolution were
ordered sent to the Public Utili-
ties Commission and the Capital
