Great Britain took the twelfth match 6½–3½, its second consecutive victory in the Newnes Cup series. Three unfinished boards—Marshall–Blackburne, Wahltuch–Voigt, and Rosenfeld–Thomas—were adjudicated, leaving Britain one further consecutive win from permanent possession of the trophy.
Ten boards across the Atlantic
The series used representative national teams linked between London and Brooklyn. After the inaugural eight-board match in 1896, every edition used ten players per side; the games were played in timed sessions while moves crossed the Atlantic by cable.
The games
All ten games and results match BritBase's scores. The last-board player appears as L. B. Meyer in the historical records and as Leonard B. Meyer in BritBase; the source database's `Meyer, Leonhard B` is the same man, misspelled.
Final standings
All ten games survive, and they add up to the official match score.
