Boston v. New England 1905
Compiled by rhmberger
--*--

ALL BOSTON VERSUS NEW ENGLAND.
One of the largest gatherings of chess players ever brought together in Boston witnessed the struggle for supremacy between teams representing Boston and vicinity and the rest of New England at the rooms of the Boston Chess Club, 241 Tremont Street, on May 30. Boston won by 29 games to 11, the winning team being headed by such well known players as John F. Barry, A. M. Sussmann and Dr. E. E. Southard. Advantage was taken of this auspicious occasion to form the New England Chess Association, with E. R. Blanchard, of Providence, R. I., as president and G. H. Walcott, of Boston, as secretary and treasurer. It is intended to hold two sessions annually, one in the early summer and another during November or December. The next match between Boston and New England has been slated for April 19, 1906. One hundred members were enrolled. Among the visitors was the veteran Miron J. Hazeltine, chess editor of the New York Clipper.

Guess the missing game

A Special prize was offered for the best game at the "Danvers Opening," viz., 1 P–K4, P-K4; 2 Q-R5, which will probably go to Dr. E. E. Southard, the noted ex-Harvard champion, who adopted it successfully against his opponent.
