CHESS MATCH LASTS TEN YEARS
Ten years ago Mr. H. Kaye, a resident of Britain, challenged his neighbour, Mr. John Garside, to a quiet game. Mr. Garside, it happened, was on the point of leaving for Australia, so it was agreed that the match should be played by correspondency. It takes about three months to obtain a reply from Australia, and the game has dashed along at an average speed of four moves a year. About a year ago a critical position was rdaehed. and from then until now the match has been one Jong thrill. It was clear that, three or four moves, at the most, must see the end. Conld Mr. Kaye win? Could Mr. Garside stave off defeat? It would probably be an exaggeration to say that both players held their breath between moves, but the nearest possible approach to that took place. The final move has been made by Mr. Garside, and after ten years the result is known. The match ended in a draw.
