CHESS PRODIGY’S PROWESS.
PARIS, March 3. In a mammoth chess tourney, Alexander Alekhine, the Russian chess champion of the world, engaged 300 players at sixty boards simultaneously, winning thirty-seven games, losing six and drawing seventeen. At each board Alekhine encountered the combined skill of five players. He averaged three seconds for each move at the beginning, but the intervals became considerably extended as the problems increased. The tourney finished in the early hours of the morning.
