A CHESS RECORD
Blindfold “Knight’s Tour” Dominion Special Service. Dunedin, July 23.. 1 A world’s record was broken at the Otago Chess Club’s rooms last night, when Mr.' E. Bennett, a member of the cjub. made a blindfold construction of the knight's tour, using six boards simultaneously This feat, which is an academic one. consists of placing the knight on any square and moving it so that each square on the board is covered once only. Mr. Bennett, with six boards, concluded his task in less than two hours without making any mistakes, and a committee which supervised the attempt will report the record to the Otago Chess Club Committee in order that it may receive official recognition.
