1923.08.24-25. Team Match 2 rounds. Each team has 12 players.
The 4th in a series of chess matches between two cities, Semarang and Djokdja (Yogyakarta), took place on 24-25th August 1923 at the Jansen Hotel, Semarang, Central Java.The host managed to beat the guest 15.5-8.5. Semarang, which trailed by 4 points at the start of the match, turned the tables to win the overall series 53.5-50.5. Semarang proved that they were the more balanced team. Djokdja had the multiple Java Kampioen Jan Dirk Bleijkmans on the first board but he couldn’t do much. He had to share the spoil, 1-1, against his arch enemy Jacob Gerard Baay. The worst thing happened to Djokdja was four of their players couldn’t score even half a point.
At that time Semarang and Djokdja, alongside Batavia (Jakarta), Surabaya, and Bandung, became the chess epicenters in Java.
