Red Deer Advocate, Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, Friday, March 28, 1958

Many old residents of Red Deer will remember Russell Scott, a watchmaker, who was a keen chess enthusiast. Taking his vacation at the time of the Dominion championship tourney, he went to Winnipeg where he had entered his name as a contestant. On his return he described for me his reactions. It was his first experience of playing by the clock, and he confessed that the time limitation rattled him a little. For a first try he did quite creditably. There was time for only one round which meant twenty-eight games, each of the eight entrants playing one game against each of the other seven. Morrison, a Montrealer, who was the then champion, defended his title with a score of 6½. One player scored seven ducks-eggs. Scotts score was 2½, one game against the ducks-egg artist, one victory over a player who made a better score than Scott, and a draw with champion Morrison — the only player the latter failed to beat. Scott moved from Red Deer to Calgary, where he worked for Birks, became chess editor of the Calgary Herald and chess champion of Alberta. He retained this title until he moved to B.C. —W.F H.
