between Crakanthorp and Griffith. The latter quite early won a piece by a
clever manoeuvre at a cost of the exchange, and should have easily scored.
Later on, however, he lost a piece by a sheer oversight. Fortunately for him,
he had a majority of pawns, and at the adjournment he was endeavouring to win
a difficult endgame, in which he had rook and four pawns against rook and
three... evening session... Griffith tried hard to win his rook and pawn
ending with Crakanthorp, and the game should have been drawn, but Crakanthorp
missed his way, and Griffith gained an important point." (Sheffield Daily

care and patience to push to a successful conclusion. Wahltuch, however,
ventured on a sacrifice which, although quite powerful in appearance, was not
quite sound, and Griffith was able to escape by giving up the queen for two
more pieces." (Times, 22 Aug 1912)} 24. Ne5 $5 fxe5 25. Bxe5 Kh7 26. Rxg7+ Qxg7

ease, but being aware that no harm could come to him with ordinary care, he
took matters rather leisurely and finally when he had Wahltuch's king in a
