Chess Ethics in a Chess Congress Debate
A letter to The Globe criticizes a New York chess congress committee for alleged self serving conduct. It compares Albany era Pilgrim Fathers to profiteering in photos and recounts a $300 prize offer and a Paris tournament payoff. The writer accuses the committee of backing Grundy then repudiating him to protect their own glory, urging players to curb such boards.
