Chess Congress at Southsea on Wednesday from an extraordinary incident in the
game between Jacobs and Gooding. Jacobs checked with a Kt forking King and
Rook, and the astonishing thing was that neither player noticed the check.
Jacobs had not said "Check," and Gooding went on with the line of play that he
had previously intended, while Jacobs left the board, and on returning
captured the Rook. A few more moves were made, when, on official intervention,
the rule was enforced requiring the players to go back to the position in
which the illegality occurred, and Jacobs soon after­wards won." (Sevenoaks
Chronicle and Kentish Advertiser - Friday 24 August 1923) BCM gives the
illegal continuation: 25...Qf4 26.Nxh6 Kxh6 26.Ng3 at which point a
representative of the tournament committee stepped in and reported the
illegality.} Kh7 25. Nxh6 Kxh6 26. Rxe4 {Source of game moves: Tinsley

clearly marked in the newspaper which provides the score, drawing attention to
Pratten's youth. So this one is probably wrong. Perhaps it is one of Pratten's
wins against Miss Adams (Portobello) or JW Thomas (Orpington) - JS} 1-0

These now play off in a minor tournament, other competitors also continuing in
sectional tournaments, according to strength." (Yorkshire Post and Leeds

of White to Lajos Steiner (from Endre Steiner, who played in the Major Open)}
