Handicap Classes. One or more will be arranged during the week, in which the £5, liberally offered by G. W. Medley, Esq., from the "Löwenthal Fund," will be competed for.
Mrs. Rimington Wilson has kindly offered a handsome memorial prize, value £5. It will be given to the player in Class I. who wins the greatest number of games at this and the next two meetings of the Association, which the present Secretary will arrange. In counting up the score, each first-prize winner will have two games deducted, each second-prize winner one game, each third-prize winner half a game. This prize is meant for the regular attenders and supporters of this Association (of which, in bygone years, the late Mr. Rimington Wilson was so good a friend), and will not probably fall to the strongest players, who will have been otherwise rewarded. Mr. P. T. Duffy (eminent chess writer) and the Rev. G. A. MacDonnell have been specially invited to the meeting, and are expected to take part in its proceedings. Intending competitors should apply at once for programmes to Rev. A. B. Skipworth, Tetford Rectory, Horncastle.

On Friday afternoon a public luncheon was held in the Central-room at the Guildhall in connection with the visit of the Counties Chess Association to Boston. The following gentlemen were present:—T. Garfit, Esq., M.P., President of the Association, in the chair; the Mayor of Boston, G. W. Thomas, Esq.; the Vicar of Boston, Rev. Canon Blenkin. M.A.; Rev. A. B. Skipworth, of Tetfor Rectory, Horncastle, secretary of the Association; Rev. J. Stuart-Jackson, Spilsby-road, Skirbeck; Rev. A. C. Rowley, M.A., Vicar of Sutterton; Capt. Iles, Grimsby; H. D. Simpson, Esq., Louth; R. W. Staniland, Esq., Hussey House, Boston; J. C. Simonds, Esq., J.P., Fishtoft Manor; H. E. Bird, Esq., London; Rev. G. M (sic; A). MacDonnell, London; Rev. W. Wayte, London; Rev. J. R. Coker, Buckinhamshire; Rev. C. E. Ranken, Malvern; Mr. H. Jackson, Dewsbury.
Mr. G. H. Henderson, who provided the luncheon, gave complete satisfaction.
The President, in proposing "The Queen and the Royal Family," said no class of men were more loyal than chess players. They often, he believed, dreamt of kings and queens, and in their waking moments breathed the air of royalty; and the Counties' Association had often been honoured with the patronage of Prince Leopold.
The Rev. C. E. Ranken, in proposing "The Bishop and the Clergy of the Diocese," said that was the second meeting of the Association in the diocese of Lincoln which he had attended, and on both occasions they had received great assistance from the Clergy. They were honoured with the presence of the Vicar of Boston, who had taken considerable interest in their meeting. Chess as a clerical game as one of their pieces was named after the clergy, although from the origin of the game that would be a misnomer Chess was a wholesome recreation, and if kept within proper bounds was very useful to clergymen as a relaxation (Hear, hear.)
The Vicar of Boston thanked the company on behalf of the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese for the compliment they had been pleased to pay them. He did not know whether the Bishop of Lincoln amongst his many wonderful gifts was a chess player, but his genius was singularly versatile. Speaking for the Bishop and for the Clergy generally he said it was their greatest pleasure to to all they could to promote the intellectual as well as the moral and spiritual good of the community. There was nothing so conducive to the work of the parish as change of occupation, and as a recreation chess was doubtless useful to many clergymen. He thanks them for the pleasure their visit to Boston had been to him.
Mr. C. J. Tunnard proposed, in a few suitable words, "The Army, Navy, and Volunteers."
Mr. R. W. Staniland, in returning thanks for the toast, humorously pointed out the connection between the toast and the Knight in Chess.
The Rev. J. R. Coker proposed "The Mayor and Corporation," to whom their thanks were due for the kindness and hospitality shown by his Worship who was present. They had been welcomed to Boston by their worthy president, the Member for the Borough, by the Vicar of Boston and many other local clergymen, and by the Mayor and Corporation, whose health he begged to propose.
The Mayor of Boston, in responding to the toast, said the hospitality shown by the Mayor and Corporation would have been more worthy the thanks bestowed upon it had not the honourable president of the Society, by placing the Guildhall at the disposal of the Association, prevented it using the Assembly-rooms for the purpose of its meeting. He had no doubt the gathering had been of great assistance to the chess-players of the town.
The Rev. A. C. Rowley had great pleasure in proposing the health of the two distinguished visitors who were present—Messrs. Bird and MacDonnell. He did not think he was going too far in saying that they were two of the most distinguished players in England. Mr. Bird, too, was one of the oldest players in the country. He remembered that one occasion the last-named gentleman sent him one of his books, in which there was a peculiar opening. In playing a game with Mr. Bird afterwards, the latter gentleman used the opening he had published in his book, but he did not adopted the mode of defence which accompanied the opening; consequently, he (the speaker) soon collapsed. (Laughter.)
Mr. Bird thanked the company for the way in which the toast had been received and spoke of the great interest he felt in the game of chess, his connection with which was so well-known. He regretted that the meeting had not been open to the public free so as to allow the workingmen of Boston who felt an interest in the game to profit by the gathering; he thought the aim of the society had been lost sight of in charging an exclusive price for admission. Those who were kind enough to subscribe to the society did not do so simply for such men as Mr. MacDonnell and himself to play chess, but that a knowledge of the game might be diffused, as it was calculated to improve the intellects, if not the morality of those who learnt how to play it. He thanked the people of Boston for their kindness and hospitality.
Rev. G. M (sic; A). MacDonnell spoke 'of' the pleasure it had afforded him to be present at that meeting. He had mixed amongst the leading players of chess in this country for the last twenty-five years, and during the greater part of that time he had had the pleasure of knowing their able secretary Mr. Skipworth. In the course of his remarks he dealt with the questions—(1) are English chess-players inferior to continental ones? (2) If so why does the inferiority exist? In answering the first question he referred to Saunton, the best chess-player of his time, who, considering the time in which he lived and the practice he had, was still unequalled. He mentioned Mr. Buckle, another Englishman, who, in 1851, won a series of three games he played with Andersen (sic), the champion of the world, who had won the first prize in the International Tournament, held a short time before. Alexander MacDonnell was another illustrious English Chess player for whom he (the speaker) had been mistaken on one occasion by Neumann, when playing with him at Glasgow. Those and many other examples he could point to of players in the present day, all went to prove that English players were not in any way inferior to those of the Continent. But suppose the alleged inferiority did exist it was easily accounted for by the over-estimation of chess so constantly met with in continental players. To them it was the most important thing in the world and their one ambition was to shine in the game. He knew one celebrated player who had stayed at home three days after having won a high prize at chess and with the expectation that the Empress of the French would invite him to lunch. A foreign player who was declared winner at a tournament in England was astonished because the Queen did not send him a congratulatory telegram. Another continental gentleman he (the speaker) had known once said to him, "I believe you will live to see the day when the members of the Government will be selected from the first chess players." He had replied "I hope to goodness that I shall [[live]] to see that time, but I believe it will be a very disastrous day for the country." (Laughter.) The best chess players were unmarried an his experience proved to him that matrimony always had a deteriorating effect on the play of the man concerned. He was playing a match with a gentleman when he (speaker) received a telegram, "Darling, Lizzie's down with the measles." Of course he lost the game. (Laughter.) After some further remarks the speaker took his seat amid applause.
The Rev. W. Wayte, in proposing "The Counties' Chess Association," traced the history of the society from the time when it was successfully started by the present secretary. Under Mr. Skipworth's direction it had gone on well for a long time as the Yorkshire Chess Association and also after its name was changed to the Counties Chess Association. But when the secretary was changed the society had begun to go down, and it had almost gasped its last gasp when Mr. Skipworth was again placed in his old position. Their present meeting, as a result of this, had been far more successful than their previous one. He coupled with the toast the name of their first and last secretary—Mr. Skipworth, to whom they owed so much. (Applause.)
The Rev. A. B. Skipworth, who was received with applause, thanked the company for the way in which they had received the toast and said he scarcely deserved all the compliments Mr. Wayte had paid him. He looked upon the game of chess as on calculated to do a great deal of good. It helped them in their homes, and helped them very much as clergymen in their parishes. If they could, by this game, make their homes more attractive, they would be putting down vice and all that was bad. One benefit arising from the annual meeting of the Association was that the establishment of a local chess club usually followed it. Chess was a sort of antidote for gambling; the trifling prizes given to the winners generally being expended in the travelling expenses to the player or some memento of the meeting. He had done his best to make the arrangements of the meeting complete, and as far as admitting work-men was concerned, those ho had seen the local papers would know that the working-men of Boston had been invited to apply to the clergy of their parishes for tickets of admission, which would be granted to them free. He again thanked them for the way in which they had received the toast.
Mr. H. D. Simpson, in proposing "The President," spoke in terms of high praise of the assistance rendered to the society by the Members for the Borough, who occupied the chair.
The President, who was received with applause, spoke of his own connection with the society, and the pleasure it had afforded him to act as President, and attend the meeting. Before taking his seat he proposed "The Winners."
Mr. H. Jackson, of Dewsbury, briefly responded.
Captain Iles proposed "The Vice-Presidents."
Revs. A. C. Rowley and J. Stuart Jackson responded.
This brought the toast-list to a close.

The Counties' Chess Association Meeting at Leamington, commencing Monday, October 24th, 1881.
Class I. Open to all provincial amateurs, and to metropolitan amateurs by invitation; subscription of £1 1s. The first prize will be of the value of £10; the second prize of £4; the third (if there are eight entries), £1 10s.

This prize is meant for the [[regular]] supporters of this Association (of which, in bygone years, the late Mr. Rimington Wilson was so good a friend), and will not, probably, on account of its conditions, fall to the strongest players who will have been otherwise rewarded.
Class II. Open to amateurs not strong enough for Class I., by subscription of 10s. 6d. The first prize will be of the value of £7; other prizes according to the number of entries. Local members may play in this class without any further subscriptions.

There was a public luncheon on the Friday, when the chair was taken by the Rev. J. Coker who, through family connections, represented both the town and the neighbourhood. The President of the Association, the Dean of Worcester, Lord Alwyne Compton, was unavoidable absent.
[[Leamington Spa Courier]], 1881.11.05, p3
——————————————————————————————————————————
On Friday, a "luncheon," which developed itself into a dinner, was given at the Manor Hotel, when about thirty gentlemen were present, and in the absence of the president, Lord Alwyne Compton, the Rev. J. Coker presided, and discharged his duties in a very genial and effective manner. After the usual loyal toasts Mr. Wayte, with considerable humour, proposed the health of the indefatigable manager of the Association, the Rev. A. B. Skipworth, to which the latter gentleman responded with characteristic modesty and [[bonhomie]]. Mr. Ranken, with no little tact and good taste, proposed a toast of "The Press," coupling with it the name of Mr. MacDonnell, who responded in a manner that seemed to give satisfaction to all parties. Mr. Owen proposed the health of the chairman, and gracefully referred to one special service he had rendered to chess by organising an annual match between the veteran players of the provinces and the members of the Oxford University Club. The chairman then proposed the toast of that club, coupling with it the name of the Hon. Secretary, Mr. Wainwright, who made a suitable reply. I can personally testify to the admirable arrangements which were made, as well for the comfort of each visitor as for the carrying out of the programme of the Association.
The next annual meeting will be held at Manchester.

A time limit of twenty moves to the hour is to be observed in each of these classes.

A prize may be withheld from any competitor failing to comply with this regulation. The competitors in these classes are expected to play in both parts of the day, but will not be called upon to complete more than two match games in the same day unless they choose.

Arrangements will be made for finding opponents for members who may not wish to join in the matches or tournaments. Tournaments will also be arranged for visitors who may not be able to attend for more than one day, if sufficient entries are obtained. The Rev. G. A.

13th CCA Congress, Handicap, Birmingham (1883)
<Introduction>
The Handicap Tourney had 25 combatants with the usual odds and the losers in the first round were privileged to take part in a consolation tourney, whereas this privilege was denied to the losers in the ensuing rounds, to whom certainly more credit seems due for making a longer stand. We know that this practice generally prevails in handicap tourneys, but surely the rule is one which needs altering, as it is based on no sound principle. We have no space for the issue of each round, and can only record the fact that Mr. MacDonnell won the first prize and Mr. D. Y. Mills the second. The first prize consisted of the £5 5s. kindly contributed by F. H. Lewis, Esq. in the Losers, or Consolation Handicap, Messrs. Jacobs, Thorold, and Walton divided equally the two prizes. [(1)]
<Synopsis>
The Handicap tournament attracted twenty-five competitors. A very liberal donation of £5 5s. being forwarded to the Association by F. H. Lewis, Esq., (London) for amateur competition, the Committee offered that sum as the first prize in this Class. After the first round the score stood as follows.
Winners:—Pilkington, Burn, Lee, Coker, MacDonnell, Fisher, Wildman, Mills, Blake, Shorthouse, Wilkinson, Fedden, Templar (a bye).
Losers:—Walton, Ranken, Leather, Collins, Thorold, Newham, Spens, Jacobs, Marriot (by default through illness), Skipworth, Lambert (by default), Huntsman.
The play proceeded as follows:
Winners.—2nd Round. Shorthouse, Lee, Mills, MacDonnell, Pilkington, Burn, Feddon (a bye) won their games.
3rd Round. MacDonnell, Mills, Fedden, Lee (a bye) won.
4th Round. Mills and MacDonnell won.
5th Round. MacDonnell won and thus secured first prize £5 5s.; second prize, value £3 3s. falling to D. J (sic; Y). Mills.
Losers.—2nd Round. Newham, Jacobs, Blake, Thorold, Spens, Walton, won.
3rd Round. Walton, Jacobs, Thorold won and agreed to divide equally the two prizes, viz. £2 2s. and £1 1s. respectively. [(2)]

<Introduction>
Class III. Open to British amateurs not strong enough for Classes I. and II. First prize, £3; second, £1 10s; and £2 2s in consolation prizes. [(1)]
<Synopsis>
Some misunderstanding having arisen in this contest, and two out of the six competitors having retired, we withhold the scores for the present. [(2)]
Class III.—The scoring in this class cannot be definitely known at present, the conditions not being thoroughly understood by all the competitors. [(3)]
There were, however, complaints respecting the treatment of competitors in Class III., which the decision of the committee, in the absence of any evidence, did not mitigate. [(4)]
Considerable dissatisfaction was felt at the action of the committee in altering the original arrangements in this competition, and ordering a number of games played on Monday and Tuesday last to be cancelled. Messrs Giles and Moscardi refused to play under the altered terms, losing their games by default. [(5)]
<Conclusion>
Another cause of dissatisfaction was the alteration of the terms on which the competition in Class III. was conducted. At first it was understood that it was to be played as in the other divisions, each competitor to encounter all the others, and, in fact, every one of those who entered play one or more games upon this supposition. On Wednesday morning, however, it was stated that the six entries were to be divided into two classes, morning and evening, that all the games previously engaged in were to be cancelled, and that each player had to engage in three contests against the opposing two in his division. Messrs. Giles and Moscardi, under these circumstances, retired, altogether, and allowed the games to be scored against them without playing. [(6)]
For Class III. there were only six entries, all of them local players with the exception of Mr. Shorthouse of Birmingham. There was some little confusion about the arrangements for this class, in consequence of divided action between the local and general authorities, and on account of some of the entrants being only able to play in the evening, which occasioned a change being made in the conditions of the contest after it had actually begun. A protest was made against this irregularity, and it was left to the local committee to settle the difficulty, the final result being that the two prizes were awarded to Mr. Caple of Bath, and Mr. Shorthouse of Birmingham. [(7)]
We are informed by Mr. Skipworth that the first prize of £3 in Class 3 at the Bath meeting was adjudged to Mr. Shorthouse, and the second of 30/- to Mr. Trobridge, not Mr. Caple as stated in our report. [(8)]
