New York 1913 (Quadrangular)
Compiled by Phony Benoni
--*--

Quadrangular Tournament
Progressive Chess Club
New York, NY
August 27-September 12, 1913

<"Frank J. Marshall, O. Duras, O. Chajes and C. Jaffe started last night the quadrangular masters tournament arranged by the Progressive Chess Club of Manhattan at the Café Monopol. The pairing for the first round brought together Marshall and Duras, the latter having the white side of queen's gambit declined. The Bohemian master was at his best and outplayed the United States champion, winning after 31 moves. In the other game, Jaffe played a queen's pawn's game against Chajes, a draw being recorded after 55 moves.

"The time limit agreed upon was 30 moves in the first two hours and 15 moves an hour therafter. Richard Warburg was chosen as referee."> (Brooklyn Daily Eagle, August 28, 1913).

That first round win gave Duras the lead for the first half of the tournament, but Marshall caught him by winning the return match in round 4. Chajes upset Duras in round 6, so Marshall won the tournament by winning his last five games. Jaffe didn't score again after the round 1 draw, which means you should be able to figure out the crosstable and progressive scores by yourself. However, that won't stop me from showing them to you anyway.
