The Leipzig Chess Club "Augustea" is one of the oldest in Germany, having been founded, if we recall correctly, 65 years ago in 1848. That venerable society recently organized a 12-man Hauptturnier to celebrate the anniversary of its inception. First prize was claimed by Dr. Antze of Bremen with the fine score of 8½ points, followed closely by Herr Zimmer of Limbach with 8 and Herr von Hennig of Kiel and Dr. Valentiner of Leipzig, each with 7½. We have received one game score from the tourney, a short victory by Herr von Hennig over fifth-place finisher Herr Blümich. This miniature was awarded the beauty prize - largely, we suspect, owing to the possible Rook sacrifice at the 21st move, which the reader will find included in the notes.
