CHECKERS POMEROY— JORDAN WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH GAMES 50 Games, Unrestricted Played Under the Auspices of the Binghamton Chamber of Commerce at Binghamton, N. Y., Aug. 28 — Sept. 25, 1913 M. E. POMEROY ^ VA Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1913, by M. E. POMEROY, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D, C. JAN -2 ©CI.A3G1432 CHECKERS (Extractfrom M. E. Pomeroy's Speech at the Banquet Fol- loicing the Pomeroy- Jordan Match.) Checkers is not an idle amusement. Several very valuable qualities of the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired or strengthened by it, and so to become habits ready on all occasions. First, foresight ; that which looks into the future and con- siders the consequence of an action. Dr. Samuel Johnson said it was seeing events in their causes. Second, circumspection ; that which surveys the scene of action and reckons the relative strength of the different positions. Third, caution ; that which ever holds you in check and on your guard. The rudiments of the game may be acquired in an hour, but a lifetime may not insure its perfection. Among the qualities requisite to become a good checker player are cal- culation, concentration, memory, locality, combativeness, pa- tience and vigilance. Simple in its origin and nature, yet the merits and beauties of checkers lie not on the surface. It is not to the careless observer and heedless player that the beautiful science of the game exposes its intricate problems and grand combinations. It is not to those who give no thought, devote no time and exert no faculty in acquiring the method of extracting the richness and variety of its treas- ures that its secrets are unfolded. It is only to the devotee that is careful, painstaking and persevering in its cause that its secrets are revealed and its treasures developed. How marvelous the variety of its methods of conducting the mimic warfare — the well planned attack, the skillful de- fense, the "cut," the "blow," the "block," the broken crown- head and the captured men. Think of its strong positions, its dexterous movements, its winning ways and its drawing propensities. Long may the great game live, and may its votaries ever increase in numbers and knowledge of the science. 3 4 WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH M. E. POMEROY M. Earl Pomeroy was born in Delaware County, New York, October 5, 1867. At an early age he evinced a marked apti- tude for the game and was soon recognized as a proficient and skilful exponent of scientific checkers. He won the World's Correspondence Tourney, without los- ing a game ; winning 7 and 47 being drawn. He moved to Philadelphia in 1893 and resided there several years. While there he won the Philadelphia Championship Tournament, losing only one game, which he lost to M. C. Priest ( Ex-Champion of America ) in the final round ; their score being, Pomeroy 4, Priest 1, Drawn 13. Mr. Pomeroy has won numerous matches and tournaments, winning several prize medals and cups, the list including Pillsbury, the celebrated checker and chess player, whom he defeated in a match 3 to and 5 drawn ; Kearns, an Ex- Champion of Philadelphia, and many other experts. In February, 1913, he contested an exhibition match of ten games with Alfred Jordan. All the games were drawn. Mr. Pomeroy 's business interests in Binghamton, N. Y., where he now resides, are such that he has but little time to devote to the great game which he admires. ALFRED JORDAN Alfred Jordan was born in London, November, 1870. At an early age he won the Championship of London. He thrice won the English Championship. He won the great Scottish Tournament in January, 1912, defeating James Ferrie, Ex-Champion of the World, by the score of 1 to and 11 drawn. Mr. Jordan has toured the world, giving exhibitions of his skill and meeting all comers. In Australia his score was, Jordan 2624 , all others 17 ; drawn 717. The list including Boreham, Champion of Australia, whom he decisively de- feated in a match. In America he defeated Banks, Drouil- lard and numerous other experts in matches. , Mr. Jordan is one of the world's greatest and most cel- ebrated players, winner of tournaments and matches legion, and prizes galore, and has played every prominent checker player in the world.

(a) Second only to 11 15 and is productive of many bril- liant and intricate combinations. (b ) Forms the "Bristol" proper, one of the oldest and most complicated replies to 11 16. 24 19 would have formed the "Paisley," a favorite with Jordan, and a very safe defense. - (c) 10 14 is a favorite with many experts and is equally good. (d) Jordan's favorite line. 8 11 is usually played. (e) Decidedly best. 7 10 was played by D. C. Davis against Pomeroy in the Philadelphia championship tourna- ment, and the game continued 20 16, 2 7, 30 25, then Davis played 8 12 and Pomeroy won by 26 23, 19 26, 31 22, 12 19, 22 18, correcting Robertson's Guide. (f) 17 13, 4 8, 25 22 is equally good. (g) If 17 13 now, black secures a powerful game by 2 6. (h) A great improvement on Lees' Guide, where 11 16 is played and white secures an easy draw. (i) Brilliant and powerful. WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH 2nd Game — Alma.

(b) The oldest and safest move. Another popular and very interesting line is 27 23, 7 11, 24 20, 15 24, 28 19, 10 14, sound and complicated. (c) Only move to draw. C. W. Yeomans played 23 19 against Pomeroy and lost as follows: 23 19 25 22 24 19 13 9 2 7 6 15 8 12 4 8 11 16 24 27 26 22 12 16 19 10 22 17 27 23 9 6 "7 "2 19 12 6 15 8 11 18 27 27 31 16 20 26 10 13 6 17 13 32 23 6 2 2 6 Black 1 10 15 18 20 24 31 26 22 26 wins.

It is one of the 8 WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH most wonderful openings of the game of checkers, brilliant and intricate, and one of the favorites of all great masters of the game. (b) Jordan's favorite line, and also favored by several experts. (c) Barker preferred 30 26. (d) 23 18 simplifies the draw. (e) Only move to draw. Barker's American Checker Player gives 27 24, 14 17, 21 14, 10 26, 31 22, 7 10, etc., for a draw, but instead of 7 10, play 2 6 and black wins. (f) One of Jordan's ingenious inventions. (g) If 18 14, white draws neatly by 28 24, 14 5, 24 19, 5 9, 6 2. 5th Game— Whilter.

(b) Known as the "Block" line. (c) Best. POMEROY VS. JORDAN 6th Game— Glasgow. Pomeroy's Move. 11 15 7 16 4 8 19 23 17 26 15 22 23 19 20 11 29 25 26 19 30 16 . 32 28 8 11 3 7(b 10 15 15 24 8 12 24 27 22 17 28 24 (c 17 13 22 18(f 16 11 31 24 11 16(a 7 16 2 7 12 19 6 10 1 6 24 20 24 20 21 17(d 17 14 13 6 2 9 16 23 16 19 7 10 10 17 10 15 5 14 27 11 25 22 20 16 (f 25 22 6 2 Drawn.

(c) Best, and most frequently played. 25 22, 7 16, 22 18, was formerly played by some prominent players, but it is not so safe, and the line is not to be recommended. (d) Best. C.

The favorite line of Ferrie, Henderson and many other ex- perts. (b) All leading players now favor this move. Wyllie had a partiality for 21 17. (c) Much interesting play springs from 27 23, but it is not quite the equal of 25 22 in strength. (d) Preferable to 8 11. (e) 22 17 is also a good line. 10 WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH 8th Game — Alma.
