Intercollegiate Chess USA The project of an annual intercollegiate chess tournament was realized by E. A. Caswell, Yale '66. He collected $400 donations from graduates of Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, and Yale for a silver challenge cup, a die for striking medals, and a handsome book containing the deed of gift that will later contain the records of the tournaments. The cup, with the motif of two men playing chess in colonial costume, was designed and manufactured by Tiffany, weighs about 75 ounces and is 14 inches high. The deed of gift was issued and executed on September 1, 1892. Until 1895, competition for the trophy was limited to Harvard, Princeton, Yale and Columbia. Thereafter, other colleges could participate with the unanimous consent of the "C. H. Y. P." colleges (i.e. never). 1st Intercollegiate Cup, New York (1892/93) 2nd Intercollegiate Cup, New York (1893/94) 1900-11-23 Game Collection: 1st Harvard-Yale Annual Chess Match <Harvard Chess Club: Officers and Members> The Harvard Index for 1891-92. … , p. 63. https://hdl.handle.net/2027/nyp.334...

Composed by SAMUEL LOYD for the Solving Tourney of the New York State Chess Association, February 23, 1891. White to play and mate in three moves. First solved by C. W. Eccles in 48 min [(1)]. Solution: https://www.yacpdb.org/#210056 <New York State Chess Association Report> [(1)] The present year has witnessed two of the most successful tournaments ever held; the first in New York city, and the second at Skaneateles. On January 28, President Bruel appointed the following special committee to arrange for the thirteenth annual tournament: F. G. Janusch, chairman; Dr. F. Mintz, E. A. Ford, Sidney Rosenfeld, H. H. Schieffelin, Fred'k Rose, E. S. Gilley, A. B. Hodges, H. J. Rogers, Carl Nanz, F. Proeshold and A. H. De Freest. The committee secured No. 54 Union square again and revised the playing rules. <RULES FOR ONE-DAY TOURNAMENTS.> 1. The entrance fee shall be one dollar, payable before the commencement of the tournament. 2. The tournament shall be played on even terms. The players shall be paired by the committee, by lot, for the first round; and by pairing the pairs, by lot, winners with winners and losers with losers, for the subsequent rounds. 3. After losing two games, players must retire from the tournament. 4. The players must always draw for first move. 5. The time limit shall be thirty moves per hour and shall be regulated by stop clocks; any player exceeding his time limit shall forfeit his game. 6. If any game results in a draw, the player who had the second move shall elect which one shall continue as the winner; and both players shall participate in any prize won by either in the following ratio: the actual winner of the prize shall receive two parts, and the silent winner one part. 7. The winner of each game must furnish the committee with a correct score. 8. Play shall begin at 10 o'clock A. M. and continue until 1 P. M., and shall be resumed at 2 P. M. and continue until 6 P. M. and again from 7 o'clock P. M. to the finish. 9. There shall be three umpires with equal powers, selected by the committee, who shall adjudicate games unfinished at the end of a round. They shall decide all questions arising between players, subject, however, to an appeal to the committee. 10. Play shall be governed by the rules of the Fifth American Chess Congress, except where they conflict with these rules. 11. When only four players remain with clean scores, they shall play off for first, second, third and fourth prizes, winner against winner for first and second prizes; loser against loser for third and fourth. And when only three players remain with one game lost each, they shall be entitled to the fifth, sixth and seventh prizes. The principal changes in these rules from former years are in rules six and eleven. Under the old plan the silent winner received one-half the prize won. Rule eleven formerly read that when two players remained with clean scores they should play off for first and second prizes; and those who had the next best scores should play off for the remaining prizes or divide them at the discretion of the managing committee. The change worked well and will probably be a fixture. In point of play the tournament was perhaps the strongest ever held. All the experts were present, and with a very few exceptions no one was below the pawn and move class. The arrangements were perfect and reflected great credit upon the committee in charge. The umpires selected were Mr. S. Loyd , Dr. Fred'k Mintz and A. B. Hodges. table[ Score of Thirteenth Annual Tournament, Held at 54 Union Square , New York, February 23 , 1891.

M. when the fifth round began Mr. J. W. Baird proposed a draw, the first and second prizes of thirty-five dollars and twenty-two dollars to be divided, and Delmar to retain the championship. This was agreed to and their example was followed by the other contestants. Messrs. Ford and Simonson received the third and fourth prizes of fifteen dollars and ten dollars. The fifth, sixth and seventh prizes of six dollars each were divided between Messrs. Rogers and Yeaton; Baird, D., and Meyer; Hodges and Hanham. The problem solving prize offered by S. Loyd was won by C. W. Eccles of the Brooklyn Club. <Press Report> [(2)] The third annual tournament of the New York state Chess Association, held at No. 54 Union Square on the 23d inst., was the most successful ever organized by that society. Great praise is due to the indefatigable efforts and admirable arrangements made by the chairman, F. G. Janusch, and the secretary, H.J. Rogers. The prizeswere as follows: First, $35; second, $22; third, $15; fourth, $10; and fifth, suxth and seventh $6 each. The following well known players contested: Eugene Delmar, J. W. Baird, S. Lipschutz, D. G. Baird, A. B. Hodges, J. M. Hanham, J. S. Ryan, E. A. Ford, Dr. W. R. Dalton, H. J. Rogers, F. H. Cheeswright, E. J. Kaltenbach, Dr. G. Simonson, Dr. Otto Meyer, W. Holliday, E. Levy, Edward Olly, E. Kemeny, J. H. Fitch, J. W. Young, Theodore Rosenfeld, W. N. Hopcroft, Charles Eccles, G. H. Richards, W. C. Baldwin, A. C. Clapp, E. W. Dahl, W. Timme, F. H. Yeaton, B. F. Wilcox, R. Beranje and B. Simon. In the final result Eugene Delmar and John W. Baird tied for first and secnd prizes, but, owing to the lateness of the hour, Mr. Baird resigned in favor of Mr. Delmar, who was therefore declared champion. EA ford and G. Simonson divided third and fourth prizes, A. B. Hodges and J. M. Hanham fifth and sixth, and H. J. Rogers and F. H. Yeton the seventh. In the solving tourney Samuel Loyd offered a handsome gold chess badge for the first solution to a problem (which appears at the head of this column), composed by himself expressly for this occasion.There were nineteen competitors, and the correct solution was only given in after the competition had lasted for two hours. The winner—evidently the youngest in the competition—was Charles W. Eccles, a member of the Brooklyn Chess Club. The judges of unfinished games were Dr. F. Mintz and S. Loyd, and their decisions gave universal satisfaction. At a regular meeting of the committee Charles A. Gilberg was elected president and G. Simonson secretary. <Games> 11 of the 57 games played were published by H. J.

Scripture, Frank T. Watson, S. R. Calthrop, W. W. Ellsworth, C. Schubert, W. M. de Visser. Address: Chairman Chess Committee, room 9, Albany Savings Bank Building, Albany, New York.

Y.) will entertain all presenting tickets of membership in the New York State Chess Association at the moderate rate of One Dollar and Fifty Cents per Day. It will be neccessary, however, that E. A.

City as well as for excursion rates from Elmira and Corning, N. Y. This will be a most enjoyable affair and promises to be the most successful event of its kind yet held in the State of New York. Mr. E. H. Underhill, the zealous chairman of the Tournament Committee, expects not less than fifty entries. The programme is very enticing for a mid-summer outing and those who decide to go to Skaneateles may rely on comfort and enjoyment under the efficient management of Mr. Underhill. Mr. E. H. Underhill writes that arrangements have been made where-by members of New York State Chess Association, by showing tickets of membership, can secure excursion tickets from New York to Skaneateles good from Aug. 26th to 31st, on Peoples line for $8.64 and by N. Y. C. and H. R. R., good from same date to Sept. 3d, for $ 8.60, and that other arrangements are being negotiated by this energetic lover of Chess. Let us all go to Skaneateles. It is no matter whether school keeps or not this warm weather. Columbia Chess Chronicle 5(1), 1889.07.15, p. 4-5. https://hdl.handle.net/2027/hvd.hxk...

The game against Hodges terminated with the brilliant sacrifice of the Queen. <Related> Kihm Winship: Chess in Skaneateles, Part 1 – Skaneateles https://kihm6.wordpress.com/2009/09...

C. June 12, Vice-President Janusch in.the chair, It was decided, after prolonged discussion, that the Ottendorfer Cup Tournament must be played. An invitation was received from the Buffalo C. C., and Cazenovia and Skaneateles were also considered as places for meeting. St. George, Staten Island, was, however, finally selected. The tournaments to commence August 7. The prizes in the handicap will amount to $55. [(1)] Although last Saturday was the date fixed for the opening of the summer congress of the State Chess Association, the members had not assembled in full force until Tuesday, August 8, when the tournaments commenced at the St. George Hotel, Staten Island. The main event is, of course, the contest for the Ottendorfer silver cup between the chess clubs of this state. For this competition the clubs were represented as follows: Manhattan, J. M. Hanham; Brookly, E. N. Olly; City, J. Halpern; Albany, W. H. K. Pollock; Staten Island, A. B. Hodges. The special committee of managers, Messrs. A. B. Hodges, F. G. Janusch and F. Rose, were early on deck and hustling to arrange the various pairings and attend to the comfort of the visitors. The entries for the handicap were as follows: Class A1 Hanham, Pollock, Delmar; class I., Frere, Scripture; class II., Souweine, Helms, Searle, Waller, Dixon, Sobernheim; class III., McMartin, Dr. Russell, Karpinski.

This gave Helms, of Brooklyn, the first prize, as none of the other competitors could possibly equal his score. Karpinski on the other side received the fourth prize, as he only scored 1½, while Pollock as well as Frere already registered two wins. Pollock and Frere, therefore, had to continue fighting for second and third prizes. [(4)] <Summary> It cannot be said that the recent congress of the New York State Association at St. George, S. I., was particularly well attended, though graced by such well known patrons and masters as W. Steinitz, E. Lasker, S. Lipschütz, C. Gilberg, F. G. Janusch, E. Delmar and others. It must however, be remembered that circumstances prevented such arrangements as existed in the happy days of Chittenango and Skaneateles. The play, after all, is the most endurable feature, and both the cup and handicap produced some splendid games, although the former contest proved such a walk-over for Hodges, who made seven out of eight possible points. Some of the competitors, however, made but a half-hearted fight, once the Staten Island champion got a firm grip on the coveted trophy. This was scarcely unnatural, seeing that they had nothing left to play for. The opinion was freely expressed that there ought to be prizes, as in all other tournaments nowadays. The result of the handicap was as follows: first prize, H. Helms, 4½ games, $25; second prize, W. H. K. Pollock, 4 games, $15; third prize, W. Frère, 2 games, $10; fourth prize, C. Karpinski, 1½ games, $5. [(5)] <Games> Nine of the 18 games in the Staats-Zeitung Trophy and nine games in the Handicap Tournament were published in the various newspapers listed below; the dates were derived from the reports. <Notes> Although the venue is consistently listed as St. George, Staten Island, the compliant address is probably Hotel St. George, New Brighton, NY. The cross tables follow [(6)]. The games that were irrelevant for the prizes and were no longer played were probably scored for players who were still present. <Sources> (1) The Albany Evening Journal, 1893.06.17. http://www.chessarch.com/excavation...
