CAPABLANCA HELD TO DRAW
Kostich Forces Chess Game with Perpetual Check.
José R. Capablanca and Boris Kostich divided the honors of their return match adjourned from the final round of the international tournament at the Manhattan Chess Club yesterday, when, after a difficult ending in which both had to exercise the utmost caution, a draw was agreed to after fifty-six moves. At that stage, Capablanca had a queen and two pawns against Kostich's two rooks, but the latter was in a position to enforce the draw by means of a perpetual check.
It was the second draw between the two leaders, winners of the first and second prizes, respectively, and neither was defeated in any game of the twelve each contested.
