Franklin chess club vs Manhattan chess club
Compiled by gauer

under construction

This would currently have to be constructed for (perhaps team club games of) different years, mainly of the 1880s-1930s period. It looks like the cities are not far enough away that the matches might not have been played by correspondence at all times, and that they instead met at one club or another for the game sessions.

The Philadelphia and New York clubs were likely two of the main centres for playing the games. The Steinitz - Lasker World Championship Match (1894) and Lasker - Marshall World Championship Match (1907) were matches (the first began in March; 2nd in January), contested in both cities, and probably had a number of backers from their respective clubs.

Matches played in their respective city around that time are listed below:

Some simuls were hosted by famous players (for instance, Lasker (whose tours included J M Hanham vs Lasker, 1901 (kibitz #2) (Manhattan, late April through early May), Lasker vs W P Shipley, 1901 (kibitz #4) (May 17th, Philadelphia), Lasker vs St. E M Sala, 1901 (kibitz #75) (May 23rd, Davenport), Lasker vs H Bruening, 1901 (Milwaukee, May 24th), Lasker vs E B Adams, 1901 (Baltimore, May 30th), Lasker vs A Y Hesse, 1901 (<back?!> to Pittsburgh, early June) around this time) Capablanca, etc) at either clubs throughout the period were: Lasker vs W P Shipley, 1901 , Lasker vs J H Smythe, 1901 , Lasker vs F O Ballard, 1901 , etc (meanwhile, would any Manhattan vs Franklin club match have occurred this May, and was there any sort of historical reason amongst the 2 clubs that one would choose to host a simul versus the champion, and another to not use such a format)? Lasker returned to NYC and Philadelphia next autumn before venturing further westerly into some United States cities such as St. Louis, Chicago, San Francisco, etc after Hallowe'en. Lasker vs W P Shipley, 1910 and Lasker vs S Mlotkowski, 1910 could have been an April (Franklin club) simul as well as Capablanca vs L K Franklyn, 1910 (a possible February Manhattan club) simul before the traditional May match-up of the city teams. Pillsbury vs S Mlotkowski, 1901 could have been an October Franklin club simul.

(NY Evening Post reports that this 1897 event was the <<3rd> annual> - so expecting a normal occurrence around the end of May or start of June; until this point in the 14-player/side match, the Franklin club won 7½-6½ in 1895, but lost by the same score in the 2nd annual 1896 tournament), (4) Game Collection: US Open Tournament Index (has a number of indexed collections which are not yet presented for tid nomination of some NYC or Philadelphia events).
