CHESS CHAMPIONS.
NEW ZEALAND CONGRESS. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, Dec. 29. The New Zealand Chess Congress was continued to-day with the following results: THIRD ROUND. E. E. Hicks v. Barnes. —The Scotch Game. Barnes developed quietly, and the position was even at the adjournment, when Hicks forced the exchange of queens. The game stands still adjourned. Stenhouse v. Davies. —A Queen’s Pawn game was opened in the accepted modern style, until Davies made a weak move, giving him a very cramped game, which he lost on the thirtysixth move. Pihl v. Anderson. —This was a Queen’s Pawn game, which was very even, and developed into a most interesting end game, when Anderson won a pawn. Pihl, however, defended skilfully, and a draw resulted. Gyles v. Severne.—ln this Queen’s Pawn Game, both players came out of the opening stages with even material, and even positions. The outstanding game in the second round was between E. A. Hicks and A. Keeling, which resulted in ,a win for the former, who plaved his favourite Frenoh Defence.
