To Begin Next Wednesday at Foreign Y.M.C.A.
The International Chess Club of Shanghai is revising its winter programme of play, and beginning on Wednesday, Jan. 26. will open its play at 6 p.m. in the main lounge of the Foreign Y.M.C.A. This evening of play will open with a simultaneous exhibition by the present champion of Shanghai, Mr. S. Kosovsky, against thirty of his Shanghai opponents. Persons who cannot arrive by 6 o'clock but who would like to take boards against the champion if tables are free may do so. The event is an open one, and no fees will be charged, but non-members of the International Chess Club or non-members of the Foreign Y.M.C.A, are requested to bring with them their own chess sets.
Shanghai chess players desiring membership in the Foreign Y.M.C.A or the International Chess Club should note that beginning with Wednesday February 2, all meetings of the Club will begin play at 530 pin instead of the usual hour of 830. This change has been made in order to permit adequate time for play before the curfew hour of 11.30.
