The thirteenth Congress of teh German Chess Association is to take place this year at Hanover, from July 19th to the middle of August, in connection with the 25th anniversary of the Hanover Chess Club's foundation. We have received the programme from which we learn that there will be first, an International Masters' Tourney, with 18 entrants at 25 marks each, the entries to be made to Herr W. Ottemann, of 7 Gretchenstrasse, Hanover, at latest by July 1st. Another 25 marks must also be paid as caution money, which will be returned if the player carries out all his games. Each competitor to play one game daily with every other, at a time-limit of 30 moves in the first two hours, and 15 moves an hour afterwards. Adjourned games must be finished before the close of the tournament. There will be eight prizes, the first being that of the German Chess Association and consisting of 1200 marks. The second will be 900 marks, third 600, fourth 400, fifth 300, sixth 250, seventh 200, and eighth 150 marks. There will also be two prizes for the prettiest games; the first, 300 marks, presented by Baron Rothschild of Vienna; and teh second, a silver cup, value 100 marks, the gift of the Court jeweller, Herr C. Lameyer, of Hanover.
Harry Nelson Pillsbury, during a rest day in the international tournament of Hanover (1902), gave a blindfold simultaneous exhibition against 21 players of master strength, who could consult with other players and analyze on the board. Up to then, no chess master had dared to give a simultaneous exhibition under these conditions. After almost 12 hours of struggle with the opponents, Pillsbury passed the test perfectly with a score of +3 -7 =11.
