THE CHESS WORLD.

AUCKLAND CHAMPION. NEW liYNN MATCH. Out of 16 games in the Auckland Chess Club championship Mr. D. I. Jones lost only one and becomes champion for the year with a score of 15 points. His only defeat was inflicted by Mr. R. E. Baeyertz, who this week defeated Mrs. Shorter in his last game, and comes through with a total score of 13J points. He will probably be second, as Mr. A. Pickett,, last year's champion, with five games yet to play, will have to win all of them to exceed Mr. Baeyertz's score. For his first appearance in club championship games Mr. C. B. Newick put up a very creditable showing, losing only 4J points.

After beating a team from the Dawson Printing Co. lust week the New Lynn Chess Club challenged the Auckland Club to a match between teams of 20 aside. The challenge was accepted and the match will be played to-night.

Arrangements are being made for a ma tell between the newly-formed chess clubs of Mount Albert Grammar School and King's College, but no date has yet been set for the meeting.

Black will then a ,, a (;k tllJnne at QB-I by r to Qlvto, Kt to QIM, B to K3, etc. „ .
