Alekhine vs Sanchez 1939 - The Winnepeg Tribune (Canada)

The Winnepeg Tribune - Manitoba Canada
26 August 1939

This newspaper from Manitoba province of Canada did provide a chess column! It's hard to find a chess column in Canadian newspaper. The newspaper also seems to only available from early 1900s so this column come as advance as 1939. The chess editor initial was J.H.B.

Games - Status RARE:
Alexander Alekhine vs Sanchez 1939 1-0
French Defense Tarrash Open variation.

This game is from a simultaneous tour in Bogota 1939. The partial report of this game was found in Edward Winter notes, but this is the only game move found! So another rarity from the dust of Canadian library!

Problems:
A mate in two composed by C.G. Rains

The Daily News (Perth)
12 November1891

Games - Status RARE:
Willem Siebenhaar vs Purnell 1-0, King's Gambit - Muzio Gambit

The Australian also has its Romantic era chess master. We found the name Siebenhaar, which strongly referred to Willem Siebenhaar who was chess activist reside in Western Australia in the 19th century. He played a club member identified as Purnell. The game was in Muzio gambit, although black was up the materials he done a grave mistake and lost. The moves given in the chess column was blurry (8..B-KB3 is hard to decipher), some moves are not understand by me but nevertheless I have constructed the game and looks ok.

The Daily News from Perth frequently reported chess in its sport section.

The Montgomery County Times - Wales UK
2 November 1895

Games - Status RARE:
A consultation game played by Rev. Chapman and Dr. Colbourne against J.H. Blackburne. Unfortunately I found the given moves cannot be continue on move 13 B-R2 .. and lead to move 17 Kt x P is a total halt. Perhaps a printing error. Reader are encouraged to help.

My reading on the descriptive notation as below:
Rev. Chapman / Dr. Colbourne vs J.H. Blackburne 895 0-1
C31 King Gambit Declined Falkbeer Counter Gambit
1.e4 e5 2.f4 d5 3.exd5 e4 4.Bb5+ c6 5.dxc6 Nxc6 6.d4 Qa5+ 7.Nc3 Bb4 8.

Blackburne has a lot of documented simuls and consultation games. This is one of them documented by Welsh region newspaper. The Montgomery County Times did not give the name of their chess editor, or at least I haven't found it yet.

Problem:
Anonymous chess problem mate in two.

Report:
An interesting report about St. Petersburg organizing a tournament between Steinitz, Chigorin, Lasker, Pillsbury and Tarrasch. The report detailed the "playing fee" and remuneration condition for players. Unfortunately this 'super-GM' tournament only move on with four players, as Tarrasch uninterested to join.
