** Omaha Chess - 1918 **
reported by Howard E. Ohman
extracts from
Sunday World Herald
Feb - March 1918
Note by: Jim Jirousek
I wish to give a sample of the chess culture in Omaha around 80 years
ago. Howard Ohman wrote a weekly chess column for the Sunday World Herald
beginning on May 20th, 1917, (after school was out; he began his
journalistic career when he was only 17 years old!). Howard won his first
Nebraska Chess championship that year. His columns were focused on a
chess problem contest sponsored by the World Herald, and he included articles
from the "American Chess Bulletin" besides reports of local chess events.
The Omaha Chess club was open daily for noon time skittles for the folks
working in downtown Omaha and on weekends. The column was also written to
inform and entice people to the Omaha Chess club events being held the day
the column was going to press. The following games and commentary are
extracts from that column. In 1926 Mr Ohman was responsible for getting
permanent quarters for the Omaha Chess club at the YMCA. Howard was
a graduate of Creighton Law School, but served in the ministry and in
YMCA youth work instead of law. He was born in 1899 and died in 1968.
Unfortunately at the time they made the micro-fiche of the World Heralds,
the originals were not all complete or had been mutilated; so a fair
number of Mr Ohman's columns are lost. His column was always found on
the 2nd, 3rd or 4th page of the sports section in the Sunday World Herald.
Whole issues of the paper are missing (ie. 3/25/1923...), and many times
the sports section was gone or the column "clipped" (ie. all Dec 1917...).
If there are any old bound originals of the Sunday World Herald from
the years 1917-26, we may be able to fill in some of the gaps.
The Omaha City championship was decided by a round robin tournament
each year, but the winner could be challenged to a match by a respectable
opponent. The openings and strategy were different from those of today...

'Dr. Hunt Challenged.'
At last, after many months of waiting, the chess fiends of Omaha are
going to have the opportunity to witness a city championship chess match.
Dr C.B. Hunt who won the city championship by winning the annual
tournament last year, has been challenged by H. Coyle, and they will
play this afternoon at the Omaha Chess club.
A better chess match could not be witnessed in this city, for not only
are the participants the most expert in this part of the country, but
they represent almost exactly opposite types of players.
Let us examine the two chess sharks. First. Dr. Hunt. He has long been
considered one of the two best players in Omaha, and in the tournament
last year, he defeated all with ease, losing only one game, in fact.
In the simultaneous exhibition he gave not long ago, he accomplished
the almost incredible feat of defeating all of the city's best players,
but three, at the same time! Anyone who watches Dr. Hunt play in social
games at the local club is always struck by the careless and
happy-go-lucky way in which he plays against all opponents, and yet he
seldom loses a game. He seems to have that quality which makes him
an excellent chessboard strategist by instinct. Anyone who takes the
present city chess champion of Omaha to a trimming may with good reason
feel that he has accomplished a worthy task.
On the other hand, who can say less for Mr Coyle? He is the former
champion of Iowa, and a man who has played six games of chess at the
same time while blindfolded. There are probably not ten men in the
United States who can do this at all, yet Coyle can do it, and with
remarkable success. He has one advantage over Dr Hunt in that he has
had a great deal of match experience. When he lived in Canada, he played
many matches and won several fine chess prizes. His success in these
matches would make it unusual, indeed, if he should lose today.
As to style, as has been said, there is a vast deal of difference
between Dr. Hunt and Coyle. The former is a player who wins by position
and slight advantages in material. If the doctor wins a pawn early in
the game, his antagonist may as well consider himself doomed. for Dr Hunt
by a wonderful defense which he can so ably execute, will retain that
pawn and eventually turn it into a winning queen. He is absolutely
relentless when he has superior forces, for he never takes a risk unless
he is certain it is safe. However, though Dr. Hunt's methods are more
like a professional's than like an amateur's; he has no knowledge whatever
of what is popularly termed the books. He relies entirely on his own
judgment.
Not so, in any respect is Mr Coyle. This gentleman has a knowledge of
every opening that actually makes him an authority. Take for instance
the Vienna gambit, his favorite opening. He is so well acquainted with
all the variations of this opening that he could almost write a book on it.
But more important than anything else is his ability to plan and carry
out combinations. He has a wonderful imagination when it comes to
'positions to be'. But he is handicapped in match play by his constant
desire to have a lively game, regardless of what is at stake. He
sacrifices pieces with total indifference and it would not be surprising
to see him play even the hazardous Kieseritzky or Allgaier, this
afternoon. He knows what he is up against now, however, so he might play
closer. At any rate, the games will surely be interesting.
The match will be won by the first player who first wins five games.
Draws do not count. The games will of course be touch-move with a definite
but limited time for moves. The editor will referee. Everyone is urged
to come down to see the match today. No admission fee will be charged,
and there will be an opportunity to play social games if preferred.
Let us see how many spectators we can get. 2:30 p.m. sharp."

'Dr. Hunt Wins First Game'
"Dr C.B. Hunt, chess champion of Omaha; won the first game in his match
with C.H. Coyle, his challenger at the rooms of the local Chess club
last Sunday afternoon. The game was a most interesting one. And although
it lasted three hours and five minutes, not one of the large number
of spectators present left before it was over.
Dr Hunt had the white pieces, and opened up with his favorite opening
P-KB4. Mr Coyle replied with the From Gambit, sacrificing a pawn for
position. Coyle soon regained the pawn, but he was forced to play on
the defensive throughout the remainder of the game. The middle and
end-game found the players with bishops of opposite colors and even
pawns, and the spectators all agreed that a draw was certain. Dr Hunt
was not playing for a mere draw, however; and he pushed ahead until the
black king was suddenly found paralyzed, unable to move out of a
threatened mate on the next move. The idea had not occurred to Coyle
and after recovering from his amazement, he graciously resigned.
The second game of the match was started and twenty-five moves
completed when it was adjourned. At adjournement Coyle appears to have
a slight advantage, an attacking position; which will probably win
a pawn.
The match is apparently going to be as interesting as expected; the
two players, so far showing about equal ability and it will doubtless
require eight or nine games to determine the winner. The match will
be resumed this afternoon starting at 2:30 o'clock. Every chess
player is earnestly urged to attend and witness a rare exhibition of
chess skill and brain power.
The first game follows: "

'Hunt and Coyle Tied'
"The score of the match for the city chess championship between
Dr C.B. Hunt, present champion and C.H. Coyle, challenger, is now a
tie; each player having won two games. At the beginning of play last
Sunday the score was 1 to 0 in favor of Hunt, but in the subsequent
play Coyle managed to win two games, while Hunt won one. The match was
witnessed last Sunday by a great number of spectators, and all agreed
that the players are equally matched.
The two games won by Coyle were both of them long and close, each
continuing for sixty-five moves. Hunt's single win, however, was short
and snappy; Coyle being completely demoralized in the very opening, and
the game ended in less than twenty moves.
As stated in last Sunday's column, the second game, which had to be
adjourned, found Coyle with a pawn to the good at the end of twenty-four
moves. Coyle retained this pawn for forty moves more, it finally being
forced into the queen row and winning the game.
The third game was the one won by Dr. Hunt. He had just lost a game and
was determined to win the next one in a hurry. He opened up with the
dangerous King's Gambit and Coyle's remarkably weak move gave Hunt the
opportunity he was looking for. He took advantage...[ ripped ]
The fourth game was the best played so far. Both players were extremely
cautious, and the position was a complete deadlock. Coyle than made
several attempts to break through, and finally succeeded. His superior
position then enabled him to win a knight. Hunt playing poorly at
this stage, and the surplus piece decided the game later on.
The two players will meet again this afternoon, and it is thought it
will be the last series. Play will commence at 2:30 o'clock at the rooms
of the Omaha Chess club. Everyone welcome."

'Dr Hunt Breaks Tie'
"Dr Hunt 3, Coyle 2. Thus stands the score in the great match for the
chess championship of Omaha. Last Sunday began with the score two apiece,
the gladiators sat down and faced each other with the determination
to decide the match one way or the other at that sitting. Naturally
neither player would risk the game by playing hastily and the afternoon
rolled away three long hours before even one game was finished. And at
the end of this long game, both players were only too ready to quit for
the day. So tired were they by the long study of one of the hardest
contested games of chess ever witnessed in Omaha.
Hunt, with the white pieces, surprised the spectators by opening up
with the Queen's pawn, a dull sort of development; which the doctor
very seldom plays. A rather early exchange of queens caused the game
to be a struggle for supremacy in the middle-game positon. Coyle, by
his thiry-third move threw a pawn on the rook file. He had a knight and
bishop to help it along, while Hunt also had a knight and bishop to
prevent the pawn from queening. Such was the position, if the pawn
queened Coyle would win; if black's defense was strong enough to
stop it Hunt would win. Coyle decided to risk it and so fine was the
doctor's defense, that the pawn had to be given up as lost. Hunt
than used his advantage in material and position and with admirable
precision won out in the ending which is well worth studying.
The two experts are steadily improving their play. Not a move was
made last Sunday that could be called a bad mistake. Of course, the
best moves were not always made, but on the whole the play showed that
Hunt and Coyle have a professional vision into chess strategy that is
above the average.
After the game, Coyle's comment: 'That was the hardest struggle I
have ever had over the chess board. I never lament over losing a game
such as I lost today to Dr Hunt. In fact, I would rather lose one
such game than win a dozen ill-played games.'
Rue Williams, considered an expert authority on chess problems and
analysis, had the comment that the game was masterfully complicated.
He also declared that the moves of each player in the later part of
the game were the best possible. When requested to annotate the game
Mr Williams said it would be impossible for him to do so with
accuracy and correctness.
'The more I study it, the more complicated and the more confused
I become.' Was his reason for not attempting to make notes.
Because of the failure of last Sunday's speculation that the match
would be finished that day, we refuse to say today if the match
will end. If two games are to be played today, and Hunt wins them
both the present champion will retain his title. On the other hand
Coyle must win three games in order to wrest the laurels from his
antagonist. Play will again commence at the Omaha Chess club at 2:30 o'clock."

'Dr Hunt Retains City Title'
"By winning two games last Sunday from his challenger, C.H. Coyle,
Dr C.B. Hunt retains his title of chess champion of Omaha. The final
score of the match was Hunt 5, Coyle 2; drawn 0.
Despite the rather one-sided score; the players were very even in
strength, the only difference being that Hunt had that excellent
power of sticking hard to the very finish, while Coyle seemed to relax
towards the end of the game. As to the quality of the games, it cannot
be said truthfully that it was extra high. It is true that the body
of the games was sound and elegant, but all this was spoiled completely
by some remarkably freakish moves at the end. The two final games of
the match were lost by Coyle, because in each instance he set out a rook
which was absolutely unprotected from his antagonist's knight. However,
close analysis shows that Hunt had the advantage both times.
Mr Coyle gave no alibi for losing. He said that the doctor was much
stronger than most players believed, and that his own defeat was not
attributable to bad playing by himself, but wholly to Hunt's impenetrable
defense and accurate attack.
On the whole, the match was a great success. It brought many new
players to the club and showed all the spectators the superiority of
careful playing over 'skit-games'. As a result, the club should benefit
materially.
The next match will be between Dr Hunt and A.G. Dodge. Mr Dodge is
also a very fine player, but he has not had the experience in serious
play that Hunt or Coyle have had. For this reason, it is very probable
that Hunt will win, though Dodge may spring some of his tricks and
surprise us. Both players are very rapid, so the match will be fast
and the games interesting. Play commences next Saturday at 2:00 o'clock
Of course everyone is urged to attend.

'Dr Hunt Triumphs Again'
"Dr C.B. Hunt 5 and A.G. Dodge 1.
The chess championship of Omaha is still in the possession of
Dr C.B. Hunt as a result of his decisive defeat of Dodge last Sunday
afternoon. Mr Dodge showed himself to be no match for his more experienced
antagonist, who had no difficulty in pressing powerful attacks, while
preserving his defense intact.
A stranger who came into the chess club room while the match was going
on inquired if it was a rapid-fire match! And such it seemed, for the
whole series of six games took but three hours! The two players simply
could not restrain themselves from moving with the greatest rapidity,
and the many mistakes and oversights made the match almost a farce.
It was a contest to see which player could hold on to his pieces the longest,
and in this Dr Hunt was far superior to Dodge. Only a single game - the
one produced elsewhere in this column - was fit for publication and this
is far from being perfect chess.
Dr Hunt entered the match with the greatest confidence and courage.
Having the white pieces, he started out P-KB4 and the battle was on.
Hunt, as usual, soon gained a pawn, and then a knight, and then a bishop!
Three simple oversights by Dodge, who by now was going even faster than his
usual noon-hour skittles rate, and his position was soon hopeless.
The next game was quite interesting. Dodge sacrificed a piece in order to
gain an attack. He threw every piece into the territory surrounding his
opponent's king, but to no avail, for the doctor used every piece he had
to defend and the extra pieces soon broke the attack and won the game.
The third and fourth games were also won by Hunt and he had a big
advantage in the fifth, when Dodge suddenly found himself and by the
prettiest move made in the whole match forced a pawn into the queen row
and won. But this spurt, apparently, did as much harm as good, for Dodge
became reckless again and the sixth game was captured by Hunt without
much trouble.
The only reason for Dodge's failure to make a better showing lay in his
inability to take the game seriously. There is no doubt that he is one of
the strongest players in the State when he can control himself, but his
everlasting desire to move without studying the position loses many games
for him. No matter if he makes forty excellent moves in a game, it amounts
to nothing if he than makes one bad move which loses a queen, a rook or
some other advantage. At times Dodge shows a foresight in chess which few
can equal and if he would only settle down and restrain himself he certainly
would accomplish wonders.
As for Dr Hunt, it need only be said he played an irresistable game. He
was steady throughout and despite several errors incident to over-confidence,
his defense was too tight to be broken and his cunning eye discovered many
holes in his opponent's position. He has now disposed of two of Omaha's
finest players by winning ten and losing three. Who will be the next to
defy him? We suggest LaRue Williams, Gacemeier, or Thompsen"
