  NewspaperChessArchiv: From the The Los Angeles Times, Chess by Herman Steiner, November 04, 1951 U.S. Women's Championship
Mrs. Mary Bain of Miami, Fla., Southern chess champion, was still leading the field as the United States women's chess championship tournament went into its seventh round last week in New York. She had yet to suffer a loss with three games to go. In the sixth round Miss N. May Karff of Boston defeated Mrs. Gregor Piatigorsky of Los Angeles in a game lasting 82 moves. In another adjourned game Mrs. Nancy Roos of Los Angeles drew with Mrs. Kathryn Slater of New York in 48 moves. Mrs. Bain met Miss Karff in the seventh round but play was adjourned when time ran out. Mrs. Gresser of Manhattan was on the black side of a Giuoco piano with Mrs. Piatigorsky in the seventh round, playing aggressively, the Californian essayed a combination involving the sacrifice of a piece. It turned out to be unsound, for the New Yorker found a flaw in it and proceeded to build up a strong front. Mrs. Gresser won in 20 moves and, with a score of 6-1, took undisputed possession of second place ahead of Miss Karff, with whom she shares the national title currently. In a queen's pawn opening, played between Miss Lucille Kellner of Detroit and Mrs. Roos, the Michigan contestant annexed a pawn and seized the initiative. Miss Kellner improved her chances and eventually won by checkmating Mrs. Roos in 58 moves. The standing of the players:
Mrs. Bain won 6, lost 0; Mrs. Gresser, 6-1; Miss Karff, 5-1; Mrs. Owens, 3-3; Mrs. Slater, 3½-3½; Miss Kellner, 3½-3½; Mrs. Roos, 2½-4½; Mrs. Piatigorsky, 2-5; Mrs. Grummette, 1½-5½; Mrs. Raettig, 0-6.
