{The Boy Competitor. In the major competition great interest centred in the
game between Gerrard (white) and the youthful Abrahams. The latter is just a
couple of months short of 16. Hearing of the congress, but having no
connection with any chess organisation, he quietly walked into the Liverpool
club, and modestly asked whether he would be accepted in any of the contests.
Mr. E. Spencer happened to be present, gave the lad a game, and was so struck
with Abrahams's play that he at once secured his entry in a much more
important tourney than the youth had ever dreamt of. His game against Gerrard
to­day ran as follows:-} 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. e3 Nf6 5. Bd3 dxc4
6. Bxc4 Be7 7. O-O O-O 8. b3 b6 9. Bb2 Bb7 10. Nc3 a6 11. Rc1 b5 12. Bd3 Nb4

Qh5 Nxf1 20. Rxf1 Qd5 21. Rf3 ({Whatever we may think of the play of White -
and he assuredly ought to have played} 21. Qf3 {, instead of Rf3 at his
twenty-first move - it is impossible to withhold admiration for young
Abraham’s style. Commencing to play when nine years of age, his father being
a fairly strong player, Abrahams, who is a student at the Liverpool Collegiate
School, knows only a little in the way of book openings; but there is
certainly reason for hoping that, under the tuition of the many fine players
in Liverpool, he may develop powers which will eventually carry him into the
highest ranks of the game. (Manchester Guardian)}) 21... c5 22. Ne2 cxd4 23.

gathered round, the board at which Abrahams played his third round game with
"N. O. Bodey" (an alias covering a very strong player). At first it seemed
certain that the young player was going to meet with his first defeat, but
"Bodey" at the critical juncture attempted to exploit what proved to be a
miscalculated attempt to mate, and, instead of coming out of the struggle with
a rook to the good, he found the tables suddenly completely turned against
himself." (and Abrahams won)} 0-1

{"The impulse of youth, unhampered by excess of knowledge, not only leads to
unexpected success, but occasionally also to tragic reverses. Young Abrahams,
when opposed to untutored players of his own class, gained victories in the
major tourney by means of his fertile imagination. When, however, he was
opposed to players with a good knowledge of the openings and general chess
strategy the result was different. Thus he succumbed to the experience and
sound play of Drewitt in the fourth round, and he met an equal fate in his
game in the fifth round against W. H. Watts. In fact his collapse and eclipse
were remarkable and crushing." (Gunsberg, Liverpool Daily Post, 5 April 1923)}
