The game numbering is for my own reference, and does not appear in the magazine. The smaller is the game number within this volume; the large the game number within the entire set.

One of these moves must be a typo. In the absence of positive evidence I have chosen to change his move, but it's a guess. 29.Rd1 Rg4+ 30.Kf1 Nf3 31.Re8+ Kb7 32.h3 Nh2+ 33.Ke1 Rg2 34.Kd2 Rxf2+ 35.Kc1 Nf3 Source: American Chess Bulletin, February 1908, p. 24. 0-1

Since 51...Kf5 is illegal, this raises the possibility that 51.Qg5+ was a typo, possibly for 51.Qg3+. However, it seems more likely that Mieses would play 51.Qg5= forcing the win of a pawn, so I am regarding the note as a mistake. 52.Qf4 Kd7 53.Qxe4 Kd6 54.Qh7 Source: American Chess Bulletin, February 1908, p. 24. 1-0

Game 54 / 1335 Wheeler - Olly, Edward Nicolai B01 New Jersey State Championship Hackensack, NJ (3), 22.02.1908

White's name is uncertain. The game score gives "Wheeler", but the tournament report (April 1908, p. 61) gives "G J Benner of Newark". It appears that four games were played, and the names given in the report match the scores for the other three games. 1.e4 d5 2.e5 d4 3.Bc4 Nc6 4.f4 Nh6 5.Nf3 Bg4 6.0-0 e6 7.d3 Na5 8.Bb3 Nxb3 9.axb3 Nf5 10.Qe1 Bc5 11.b4 Bb6 12.Na3 a6 13.Nc4 Ba7 14.Na5 Qd5 15.Kh1 Bxf3 16.Rxf3 c5 17.bxc5 Bxc5 18.b4 Be7 19.Nc4 Rd8 20.Ra5 Qc6 21.Na3 b5 22.Bd2 Rc8 23.Qe4 Bd8 24.g4 Bxa5 25.bxa5 Qxe4 26.dxe4 Ne3 27.Bxe3 Rc3 28.Nb1 Rxe3 29.Rxe3 dxe3 And Black wins.
