dominion chess championship. ONLY FOUR GAMES TO BE PLAYED. By Telegraph— Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. With only four games still to be played in the New Zealand chess championships it is not yet possible to pick the winner. Those at present in the lead are K. Beyer 8j points, J. A. Erskine 8 points and A. W. Gyles 8 points. Erskine has still two games to play and Gyles one, while Beyer has completed his series. . The remaining matches are Erskine y, E H. Severne in the sixth final round, Gyles v. Erskine and Severne V. Selling in the seventh final round, and Severne v. L. J. Darwin in the eighth final round. It is not possible for Severne to win the championship, but the result of his game against Erskine may very well vitally affect the Issue. Interest this evening centred in this game, which had been adjourned previously and was again adjourned at the conclusion of the day’s play. The game throughout was most even, and the present position at the 56th move shows an equality of pieces, with Erskine on the attack. The final result will depend upon this unfinished game and the one between Gyles and Erskine. , There were no surprises in to-days play. Beyer gained an easy victory over Abbott and Gyles won from Severne after an even and hard-fought game. Gyles also won against Kelling. Re.'»ults were;— Fourth final round: Gyles beat Severne. . , Seventh final -ound: Le Petit beat Abbott; Watt drew with Scott. Eighth final round: Gyles beat Kelling; Erskine beat Hicks; Le Petit drew with Watt; Beyer beat Abbott.
