Sylvan Beach Rice Trophy 1904

Marshall sweeps the Rice Trophy at Sylvan Beach
15–19 August 1904 · Sylvan Beach, New York, United States
Marshall won with 6/6

Frank Marshall won every game in the Rice Trophy competition at the seventeenth New York State Chess Association meeting. His perfect 6/6 left Otto Roething and Kenneth Howard tied for second in the four-player double round-robin.

Four players, two circuits

Marshall, Roething, Howard, and Rudolf Guckemus each played the other three competitors twice. That format produced twelve games between 15 and 19 August.

A perfect result

Marshall's six wins gave him a three-point margin over Roething and Howard, who each scored 3/6. Guckemus finished without a point. The twelve archived games account for the complete crosstable.
