How to Mate in Three Easy Moves

The three VUC teams are off to a good start. Following the 4-1 C grade team victory over Wellington on June 1, the A and B grade teams last Saturday, playing the same club again, forced the pace. The A grade team won very well by 4-2, wins being obtained by Wade, Henderson and Johansen. Since Wellington was considered one of the strongest teams in the competition, our chances for the A grade title are greatly enhanced, in spite of the weakening of our team by the absence overseas of our champion, Wade. The B grade team lost by 1½ to 3½, with one game unfinished; but since this game looks like a win for us, the result will be 2½ to 3½.

Students will Join in wishing our top board, R. G. Wade, every success in his visit to England to play in the British Chess Championship and the International Masters' Tournament at Hastings.

The Chess Club meets in Room C4 on Tuesdays at 7.15, and new members are heartily welcomed.
