Incomplete record. This archive holds 24 of the 65 games played; 41 are missing. Twenty-five scores represent twenty-four of sixty-five played pairings; forty-one scores are missing. Both Whitaker–Hahlbohm versions represent one pairing.
The event and its surviving record
Edward Lasker won the Western Chess Association championship at Cleveland, held from 5 to 13 October 1921, scoring 9½/11. Samuel Factor finished on nine and Herman Hahlbohm on 8½. The twelve-player round robin included one unplayed default, awarded to John Beckner after Samuel Shapiro’s late arrival.
Twenty-five scores are available, representing twenty-four of the sixty-five pairings actually played. Forty-one game scores are missing. Whitaker–Hahlbohm appears twice because a timing dispute led to a replay from move twenty-one. Both versions belong in the game list; the crosstable counts the replay once.
The contemporary bulletin prints Stearns–Whitaker as a draw after White’s seventieth move, while the preserved archive version continues to move ninety. That difference remains disclosed here; the archive retains its native score.
