The New Orleans Chess Club.—We are happy to announce that the New Orleans Chess Club is being revived. About forty persons, many of them old members of the club, are about to reorganize it. Among them are many of our most influential citizens, who seem to take much interest in the matter. They are now occupying a room in the Merchants' and Auctioneers' Exchange, Royal street, where, or at the office of Mr. Bendernagel's room, No. 13, any information may be had concerning the organization. We haev visited the rooms and met there many familiar faces with whom, in days gone by, we have passed many a pleasant hour. We, therefore, feel interested in urging the hcess players of our city, more particularly those formerly connected with the club, to add their names to the list of subscribers. The terms of subscription have bben placed at a low figure, to enable all to join who may wish to do so. New Orleans Crescent, 1868.03.01, p1

This reminds us of the many attempts made here since the war to reestablish the Chess Club which, in the olden time, when Paul Morphy was in his prime, attracted so many players to the club rooms, on Canal street, and exerted so much attantion in the chess circles of the civilized world. There was either, however, not life enough in the individual members, or a sufficient membership, to sustain these [[post bellum]] efforts; and ll that is heard now about a Chess Club is an occasional expression of regret by some of the [[ante bellum]] organization that the lovers of the noble game cannot once more gather together in one assembly room, and there do obstinate battle in peaceful style, and like good Republicans of the Washington and Jefferson days, exclaim once more: "Check to the King!" New Orleans Daily Picayune, 1872.02.09, p2

A Chess Club.
To Roundabout—Can you inform me if there are any chess rooms or club in the city where an amateur can go in and take a game, or look on occasionally? Chess Player.
Roundabout understands that in the city there is a private club where chess is played, but he does not know its locality. [[New Orleans Times]], 1879.03.27, p6

The Game of Chess.
The curtain next rose on the game of chess played with living pieces. On stage was laid out the squares of the chess board. The black pieces were represented by members of the Continental Guards in the British uniform, and the white pieces by members of the same command in the uniform of the Continentals. The pawns were uniformed as privates, and the other pieces as officers of various grades, the distinction of rank on the chess board being denoted by appropriate head-pieces. The queens were represented by ladies in the costume of the time of George III. The game was played by Messrs. E. H. Farrar and L. L. Labatt, members of the New Orleans Chess Club.

This evening, at 7 o'clock, the New Orleans Chess Club will meet for reorganization, in a commodious an well furnished apartment, which has been secured for the use of the club, over Krost's saloon. We understand that the game of whist will hereafter be permitted, as a fit accompaniment to chess, and players of both those silent and scientific games are invited to enroll themselves as members of the club. The necessary furniture is already provided, and a tournament will be arranged immediately after the organization shall have been completed. The expense of membership will amount only to the trifling sum of seventy-five cents per month. Chess is an excellent summer game, and the New Orleans Chess Club is about to be revived under the promising auspices. New Orleans [[Daily Picayune]], 1880.07.20, p4

Chess.—It is proposed, by a number of gentlemen, interested in chess, to open a suitable room, or rooms, as a central place of resort by the chess-players of New York. It is believed that the materials exist in New York for a chess club, little, if at all, inferior to the chess clubs of the European capitals. In addition to the known votaries of this noble game, which has been well called "more than a game, less than a science," it is believed that there are many others who would be glad of this opportunity for the cultivation of chess. It is proposed to place the subscription to the chess club rooms at five dollars to the 1st of May next, in order to afford the greater facility to young amateurs to avail themselves of their advantages. A number of gentlemen have already entered their names as subscribers:—Messrs. G. Thompson, Alfred Seton, F. Perrin, Zust, C. H. Stanley, Roberts, A. Mohle, Grosjean, J. O. Sullivan, Marache, Estephe, H. C. Timm, L. J. Descombes, and many other gentlemen interested in chess. Application to be made to the undersigned, at 385 Broadway, from date to Monday next, 15th instant, (on which day the room is open to subscribers.) between the hours of two and four, or six and seven, P.M. Names can be handed in through any of the subscribers already entered.
F. Perrin, Hon. Sec.

WilhelmThe2nd: <j> Your <Open Questions List> asks for a contemporary source for Albin vs Pillsbury, Monte Carlo, 1902:
<The chess column of 'Moskovskiye Vedomosti', March 28 (Old Style; April 10 New Style), 1902, page 5, includes the game Albin-Pillsbury from the 15th round of Monte Carlo, 1902. After the move 45...Rf8-b8 it states, 'White resigned after a few moves'. The column was then conducted by P. P. Bobrov who was also the editor of the chess magazine 'Shakhmatnoye Obozreniye' which may also have published the game. I mention this since it is a far more likelier source for the score of the game for the Russian book on Pillsbury that you reference.>

Games exist for 4/15, 4/18, 4/19 and two additional April games (probably started in April 1877).

No evidence exists for a 11-10 match played in late 1877.
Best guess is the Illustrated London News misreported Wurm's score from the 1st match.
One of the games given by the ILN for this supposed 11-10 match is identified by Orchard as coming from the 1st match.

* The number of draws are still undetermined for this third match, but at least one draw must exist as the game given in the Sunny South as being played on 15 April 1877 was a draw and it must have been from this third match and not from the prior two matches (or an off-hand game if the date is correct). •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
In regards to the earliest three matches, the first two results were documented in Brownson's Chess Journal and must have been completed prior to the report given in the Macon Telegraph of 15 April 1877 (see below). The third match was for seven games up, with the 12th non-drawn game played on 19 April 1877 concluding the match (per Wurm's column). I'm not sure what to make of the report from the Illustrated London News, 1877.10.13, giving the 11 to 10 score; perhaps some off-hand non-match games were added to one of the match totals (more research is underway).
As for the remaining four matches, the report given in the Newark Sunday Call, 22 February 1891, giving an accumulated score over 'the four matches now played' of +21-12=10 for Wurm, the draw counts are accurate for the 1883, 1887 and 1891 matches, however, I only have two reports regarding the totals for the 1888 match (see Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, 1888.12.08; Charleston Sunday News, 1888.12.09), whereas I have daily accounts of the game results for the other three matches (see 1883, 1887 and 1891 matches). I suspect the Newark Sunday Call just made an arithmetic error and there is no missing draw to be placed in these four matches.

It may interest our chess friends to read a chess item from Atlanta. A Northern player, Mr. I. E. Orchard, on a visit there, has been contesting a couple of matches with Mr. Wurm, of Atlanta. The first match resulted in the defeat of Atlanta by a score of eleven to eight, but the return match proved a victory for the Atlanta player by the handsome majority of nine to three. We congratulate Atlanta, as we understand Mr. Orchard to be a fine player. He was a contestant in the late international tourney at Philadelphia.

The Paulsen Chess Club.—This is the name of a chess association recently organized among the German chess-players of this City, who have named their club after the noted chess champion Paulsen, now in Europe. The first meeting of the club was held at their rooms, which are located at No. 189 Bowery, last evening.

The Philadelphia Committee consists of Messrs. W. G. Thomas, James G. Whiteman and G. Reichhelm; and the Paulsen Committee of Messrs. E. Chamier, F. E. Brenzinger and W. S. Johnson. The Philadelphians selected Mr. Irving, and afterwards Col. Mead (President and ex-President of the New York Club,) as their umpires, but neither gentlemen being able to serve, Mr. M. J.

Walker has been appointed in his place.

0 games, - Proposed OLC tag
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_...
https://plus.codes/map
A proposed system for creating unique IDs for cities (and possibily small territories).Steps for generating the OLC Code:
1) Look up the city in Wikipedia, which usually gives the geographic center for the location on the page, i.e. Wrocław is given as 51°06′36″N 17°01′57″E.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wroc%...
2) Click on the Coordinates link which will take you to GeoHack.
https://geohack.toolforge.org/geoha...
3) From here you can take the Decimal version of the Latitude/Longitude, i.e. 51.11, 17.0325, or click "Google Maps" which will give you a plus code in the left hand information pane
https://www.google.com/maps?ll=51.1...
4) Paste that plus code into the search bar:
https://plus.codes/map
5) At the bottom of the OLC map will be the short version of the OLC code, click the up arrow and it will pull-up the left-hand pane which will give the full OLC code, 9F3V426J+2X.
https://plus.codes/9F3V426J+2X
6) Copy the full code to populate the OLC tag.
