The match between Jens Enevoldsen and Bent Larsen was a great success. Although the venue itself was hardly inviting enough to encourage people to spend the evening there, the games were surprisingly well attended in Politiken's lecture hall; on some evenings the room was full. The spectators witnessed an exceptionally exciting and nerve-racking contest in which the outcome remained uncertain until the very end.

The match may be briefly characterized as follows: Bent Larsen ought to have won, but Jens Enevoldsen did, since the match ended in a 3–3 draw. The first three games, as mentioned in the previous issue, ended in draws. Larsen had a slight advantage in the first and third games with White in the Ultra-Catalan, but Enevoldsen's fine endgame play saved both games; in the second game Enevoldsen stood somewhat better.

The fourth game proved decisive to a certain extent. Enevoldsen played the Spanish Game with White and obtained a positional advantage, but during an attack, in a moment of chess blindness—or, more mildly, carelessness—he lost the exchange within two moves and went down to a brilliantly conducted attack by Larsen.

In the fifth game Bent Larsen opened with 1.c4 and obtained a promising attacking position, in which Jens Enevoldsen made an unhealthy pawn move on the kingside. A knight sacrifice followed, and Black was faced with the threat of either mate or the loss of the queen. At the critical moment, however, the young master lost his nerve. Just as he seemed to have victory in his hands, he chose another path; Black slipped out of the trap, and the entire battle ended with Enevoldsen having an exchange for a pawn. He then converted the endgame in his usual masterly fashion.
