Brunnemer of the Ocean Hill and Broadway Chess clubs of this borough, is making quite a record in correspondence chess, having taken part in three preliminary tourneys and one semi-final of the Greater New York League, with a total score of 19 wins, 2 draws and one loss. After his experience, Brunnemer is of the opinion that this form of chess yields some of the finest games on record. Appended are the scores of three games Brunnemer won in elegant style from S. H. Chadwick of Cranford, N. J.; R. E. Platt of Waterbury, Conn., and Dr. J. W. T. Patton of Truro, N. S. Black announced mate in three moves, 24. RxPch, etc. https://best-in-chess.blogspot.com/...

Apr-05-25		NewspaperChessArchiv: It wasn't truncated. I checked source code: "1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Nf65." The fifth move is ran together with moves 4 & 5.
