| Jul-26-13 | | optimal play: <<<<<THE CENTENNIAL CHESS CONGRESS.> Yesterday was devoted to playing two of the three drawn games to which reference was made in "The Argus" report of yesterday... At one table Mr. Charlick had the move against Mr. Stanley, who announced that he felt in good form, having got over the insomnia from which he suffered last week. Consequently a close contest was anticipated, and much interest was taken in the encounter. Mr Stanley adopted the French defence, and by playing P to Q 4 in answer to Mr. Charlick's P to K 5 he succeeded in obtaining a good position, and, possibly, but for the pressure of the time limit he might even have improved his game. The game was carefully played on both sides, and, after all the pieces had been exchanged, each of the players was left with a line of pawns, through which neither could succeed in forcing his King. Consequently the result of the encounter was a draw, which scores as half a point to both.> Time - Mr. Charlick, 2h. 46min. ; Mr. Stanley, 2h. 23min.> This leaves Mr. Crane and Mr. Charlick in an equally good position for the first prize, with a certainty of one tie to be played off, in which either Mr. Crane and Mr. Charlick will have to meet again to determine the recipients of the first and second prizes ; or else Mr. Tullidge will have to meet one or other of the two, to settle the same question in reference to the second and third prizes.> - The Argus (Melbourne, Vic.) issue Wednesday 24 October 1888> |
