Dear Brother in Chess:
The first thing that
must be said is that the editor of these bulletins apologizes for the tardiness
of this issue. Partially, this has been caused by the work required for the NY
Open material that is enclosed. Partially, it is because he has other
personal matters to handle which have taken his time.
The New York
Open material is offered for your enjoyment, for your study and as an incentive
for you to join us in the Second African‑American Unity Chess Tournament Series,
which will be held. Count on it! If it doesn't begin this month, it will take
place this summer. The brief article on the New York Open does not give
information on our own players in the tournament, except for mention of my IM
norm, so the following table will let you know how our brothers did in the
international section:
Emory Tate (2441)
scored 4.5/9, drawing with GM Lev Alburt;
Norman Rogers
(2386) scored 4.5/9, beating IM Jay Bonin;
Alfred Carlin
(2330) scored 4.5/9, drawing with Bonin and IM Francisco Ochoa (ESP, with a FIDE
rating of 2410);
Ernest P. Colding (2277) scored 3/7;
and
Mark Meeres (2249) scored 6/9 (including a half‑point
bye), beating IM Leslie Leow.
Jerome Bibuld has
permission to include with this bulletin a mailing of his own, concerning the
historical work he is doing.
In terms of score, Mark
Meeres rolled to a $150 victory in the 4th African‑American Unity Chess
Tournament, which ended the First African‑American Unity Chess Tournament
Series. Meeres scored 3.5‑.5 by winning his first three games, then drawing with
Wilbert Paige, whose 3‑1 record tied with Ernest P.
Colding, to split the $1.50 2nd and 3rd prize moneys. The next four
players got their $20 entry fees back, while the last four in the
ten-player field split the remaining $40 of the guaranteed prize
fund.
Following is the bulletin of the 4th
African‑American Chess Tournament. One game is missing because the editor
found it impossible to reconstruct.

That's it for now. I've received very little comment from those
of you who have not come out to the tournaments and would like your input. A
disappointment is that, with the exception of Wilbert Paige and
Elvin Wilson in the last one, only New York have played. If
some of you would join us, provided housing Friday night, that might be
arranged. Please let me know.
