The Editor's Castle By S. S. COHEN

In Union There Is Strength With this issue of THE CH ESS REVIEW we

complete our th ird year of service in the cause of American Chess. Our efforts, as in the paSt, have been directed toward promoting interest in the game and bringing to its devotees the mosr important news, the most interesting prob­~ems an.d garnes, and the most recent theQfetica[ InnovatIons .

It is indeed fitting, therefore, that in this issue we announce to the chess world the news of our affi liation with rhe most progressive or_ gani~ation in American chess circles today- the American Chess Federation.

We have agreed to serve as the Official O rgan of the Federation because we believe that this country needs a st·rong, central, active, executive body [Q promote chess and to coor­dinaH! all its activi ties- from the fostering of new players to the holding of a periodic Amer_ ican Championship Tournament.

The record of the American Chess Feder. ation f.rom its inception in 1900 (as the West_ ern Chess Association), to the present day, is indeed an enviable one.

I II the paJI: It has conducted thirty_six con­secU[ive annual tournaments in which the strongest players in the country have partici_ pated. Some of the winners have been: Max Judd, Oscar Chajes, Jackson W. Showalter, Edward Lasker, Samuel D. Factor, Carlos Torre, Abraham Kupchik, Samuel Reshevsky and Reuben Fine.

111 Ihe preJent: Using Mi lwaukee as a test cencer, approximately 10,000 people have been taught to play chess in the ~ast five years. Now arrangements with the NatIOnal Recreation As_ sociation are being perfected as a result of which chess will be taught in the municipal reo creation centers of 1100 communities through_ out the country .

[n the futflre: The American Chess feder_ ation is a truly democratic, self_governing Of_

ganization of chess players, by chess players, and for chess players. Its constitution insures to every member- whether individual or club -a vote and voice in its decisions. It will conduct an al/lll1al National Open Tournament; also an annual National Team Tournament.

It is our firm conviction that the affiliation of THE CH ESS REV[EW with the American Chess Federation presents an ideal set-up for the pro­motion of chess interest in this country. Com. ing at this season of the year, we may well be pardoned for envisioning this union as a Xmas gift from the Federation and THE CHliSS RE_ VIEW co the chess p layers of America.

The World Championship Match B, Fuo REINFELD

As this is written, 20 games have been p layed in the current march for the World's Cham­pionship, but I have seen the scores of only the first 13. Dr. Alekhine, after losing his lead, hai regained it and is now ahead by the slight margin of one point: lOh-9Y2. When one recalls that by the time the same stage had been reached, the result of his match with Capa. blanca was already foreshadowed, and both of his matches with Bog<lljubow were al ready "i n the bag" one must admit thaI Dr. Euwe's show­ing is one which places him very ddinitely in the front rank of the great masters. Of (ourse, he had already earned this posicion by the mere fact of his being accepted as a challenger for the ririe; yet mOSt players (including ex­perts) pooh.poohed his chances.

I was so r:1sh as to eJ{lpress the opinion, before the match began, that Euwe would put up a stiff fight for the title and might ev(:n win!! After the fou rth game I had to endure 9uite a bit of more or less goo.d_natured guffaws. But, from my knowledge of Euwe's games and of his streng th as a march/ layer, I fe lt thaI he would soon steady an whiule down rhe Champion's lead .

That is what happened.

To those who are not .familiar with Euwe's play, it is rather difficult to explain JUSt where his strength lies. His greatest asset is a certain elasticity which allows him to adjust himself to the temperament of his opponent, whether he be ea'pablanca, Bogoljubow or Alekhine. We see thiS in the 'Pr~m march, where he meets AleJ..hinc·s combinations (which are frequent, inspired and tricky) without losing 'his self_ possession, giving back blow for blow. Then, he has g reat reservoirs of patience and tenacity, backed up by an assured but not arrogant re_ liance on his abilities. I know of no other player (except it be Dr. l asker), who would not have emerged from the 1st, 3rd and 4th games of the match broken in spirit and de­pressed to the point of being unable to give of his best.

Euwe has an eCJuable temperament, one which is " philosophical" in both senses of the word. It IS th is which, in my considered, if unpopular opinio n, g ives him an advan(a~e over Alekhine, whose style has changed consi derably since 1932. Up to thar time {he Russian master was not only the great artist, producing com·

270

binations which as a group do not haW! thei, equal in cheIJ literatflre, bur he was also the perfect logician; for all the chances he took, his play was the epirome of soundness. In the last few years Alekhine's play has changed. He is more daring than ever, he is more freguently in danger of losing, he plays pSJchologicaftJ rather than logically. The artist has become a fighter.

In other words, he has become a disciple of the style made famous by Dr. Lasker. Unfor_ tunately, (his type of play requires the eguable, philosophic temperoment, which weighs possi. bilities and risks ra/;onally, in so far as possi. b le. But in this respect Euwe is much nearer to lasker than Alekhme is! The first two play like philosophers, but Alekhine plays like a gambler! Of course, such fighting chess, with its psychological impacts, has' its extraordinary fascinations, but in t11e long run, I believe, Dr. Euwe's method of play is bound to be the more successful. Anyone who plays over the 7tn and 13th games can see the favorable aspects of the "gambling" sryle, while the 10th and 12th games conclusively 'reveal its weakness.

However, no matter what the outcome of the match may be, the chess world owes Alekhine a vote of thanks for his bold and colorful play throughout. Such lively championship chess has not been seen since the almost legendary games of laBourdonnais and MacDonnell a century ago.

Many players will wrinkle the-ir noses at White's moves 4·8 ~ for everyone knows that the Q should nO! be moved early in the game.· But there is a pro­found conne<:tionbetween White's 4th and 7th moves and the rest of ~he game, namely: with his 4th move White obtains 2 Bs, and with the following Q man­euver he forces an open game, so Ihat the Bs will have ample scope. Furthermore, Black's KB is gone. so tha.r his black squares become decidedly weak along the diagonal KB1-QR6; and this weakness is still further intensified by White's <:apm!e of ~he KKtP. Note what an impormnt part is played throughout Ihis game by the weakness of the squares QB4, Q3, K2, K5, KB3, KKt2, KR3 in Black's camp.

10 Kt_Kt3 R_Kt3?

Here Black misses a real chance for counter play; ins lead of the meaningless text move, he should play 10 . , , Q·R4! 11 B·Q2, Q-R5 or 11 Q_Q2, P-KI3; 12 B-K2, B-R3; 13 0-0, 0-0-0 wilh a much better game than he actually obtained,

May Your Christmas Be a Happy One!

W ith the approach of it new year next month, tht: p resent chess gcner.uion will per_ haps look back o n this December month as a curtain signal cl imaxing the d ose o f an event· fu l year in which numerous su ides were made to promote (he Royal Game in it glamorous

and big way. In real ity, December represents r h e "spirit" of giving; as evidenced by the usual appeals extended- a gen. tl e request a?d a great consCIence troubler - "give [ 0 the needy". A Christmas stock. ing fund means much to a multi. tude o f unfortun. ate kiddies, it n d so it is also with such funds f 0 (

chi ldren's hospitals, etc. It is strange that the wo rds " needy"' and "greedy" are p raCl ically synonyrnous (!) . All sportS and pastimes. in. cluding chess, all pleasures and business prob_ lems of paS{ and furu re, are but a few of many items that shou ld be fo rgotten- at least mom. entarily-to allow some reasonable consider_ ation to the ,part of helping create a little happiness and pleasure for some other soul besides one's sel!.

A Political Situation Undoubtedly, chess po lit ics were p roperly

stirred in the past few months, as various dubs, associations, federations and organizations were rearranged and set into a spi rited working o rder by inj ecting new blood here and there. Annual elections of officers, 'promoters, b ig mogu ls and so on were the main issue of reeent chess activity in every nook and corner. The appointment by vote, for active service to cover the duration o f 1936. of representatives to the Canadian Chess Federation, the Manitoba Chess

Association, rhe Winnipeg , the Toronto anrl Montreal and miler , various city leagues, and the many dubs· cx{'(lltive.s, etc., enfo rces a yearly Dominion_wide reorganization to share Canada's task in assisting the chess wo rld to keep moving! Another b ig chess season is being ushered in, and with it a larger sca le of activity is being pred icted( !)

Theoretical Contributions of the Moscow Tournament

By E. RABINowrrSCH

.. Part II.

Defending the black side of the Queen's Gambit, Dr. Lasker created a diversion which made some of the expcrr theoreticians knit their brows disapprovingly. Later their con· cern was proven to be unfounded. The game procwled: 1 P.Q4, P.Q4; 2 P_QB4, P.K3; 3 Kt.QB3, Kt_KB3; -4 B.Ke5, B_K2; 5 P-K3, 0.0; 6 Kt.KB3, P.KR3; 7 B.R4, Kt.K5; 8 BxB, QxB; 9 Q.B2, Kt.KB3!

White

Ordinarily Black dqcs not play P.KR3, and instead of retreating his Kr, it is exchanged on QB6, followed by a fianchetto of the QB. The game continued: 10 B.Q3, PxP; 1 t BxP, P­QB4; 120_0, Kt.QB3; 13 KR.Ql, B.Q2, reo suiting in an even game.

In the Indian Defense, Black docs not dis. pute the center in thc early part of the game, bur lianchettos his QB (West Indian*) or his KB (East Indian*): 1 P.Q4, Kt.KB3; 2 Kt. KB3, P.K3; 3 P.QB4, P.QKt3; 4 P.KKt3, B· Kt2; 5 B.Kt2, B.K2; 6 Kt.QB3, Kt.K5; 7 Q. ' B2, KrxKt (7 ...

The game: 4 P.QR3, BxKtch; 5 PxB, P.QB4 ; 6 P.KB3, P"Q4; 7 p" K3, 0.0; 8 PxQP, KtxP! (more usual is 8 ... PxP).

JOSE RAOUL CAPABLANCA

Part III. The chess fraternity that is presumed to con·

cern itself with a game that IS purely intellec. tual, should be immune from the emotional storms that attend most of the battles of the world of sport. The career of a chess.master extends ove'r many years-his record is clear­his sames are open to the most careful scrutiny. Surely the judgment of the experts ought to be capable of weighing the relative meri ts of chaL lenger and champion in a title match.

Nor should there be occasion for (he plati_ tudes and homilies that precede and follow (he clash of twO pugilists or golfers. Where the champion is always invincible before ·his down. fall, and .. a mere shell of his former self", or "a really over_rated figure", the day after. Where a single lucky blow or point, or a series of fortu itous strokes, has this surprising resulr. For the fortu nate winner-the acclaim of the genera! public; and for the other-speedy oblivion.

Surprisingly, thc chess world faUs into pre_ cisely the same illusions. Normally it recog. nizes that the slightest shades of difference dis tinguish masters of the first rank and honors each of these as an artist of high excellence. But under the stress of a title contest it in. dulges in all the vagaries and inconsistencies that are bound up in an effort to determine relative capabilities by the peculiarly artificial standards of any encounter. Irrespective of rhe outcome of the match at Buenos Ai res, the atti. tude of the chess public ran strictly according to the time honored formula.

Previous thereto, none of the critics gave Dr. Alekhine any chance of success and few indeed took any cognizance of his fine tourna· ment record in Europe. However, as soon as he gave indications of victory, a complete reo appraisal of his merits as a player took place. There was a sudden reversal of the judgmenc of his fellow masters, although most of these had known him intimately for many years. Further, as Capablanca trailed his opponent, a new view.point sprang up as to his real strength, and only a few of his supporters refused to be shaken by this single match showing as against his fulLlength performances over twO decades. Finally when D r. Alekhine emerged as the new champion, hc succeeded co the usual adulation that is given to every title.

282

holder and only unexpected defeat will prove to the average player that there is no magic in the term "champion", and that he, tOO, is vulnerable.

In his writings Dr. Alekhine has resented the action of Capablanca which placed upon him the onus of winning second place in the New York Tourney of 1927, in order to es_ tablish his right as challenger. From informa. tion [hat has come to us, it seems dear that the Cuban was motivated only by a desire to

make the match possible. While he recognized the logical status of the Russian master as the world's second player, critics and players gen_ erally were quite cold to the importance of the match. They envisaged a tcturn contest with Dr. Lasker, pointing particularly at the ease with which the latter had won from A!ekhine in their first game at New York in 1924. The apathy to the battle at Buenos Aircs is indeed comparable to the initial indifference of chess players to the pending match between Drs. Alekhine and Euwe in Holland.

There can be little doubt that Capa aimed to stimulate interest in the match, and in the later stages of the 1927 Tournament was actu_ ally solicitous of Alekhinc's fortunes. For the latter tohavc placed below Nimzowitsch would have made a tide.match an ami·climax. And the fillancial arrangements that are a not unim. portant part of such events, might have been Jeopardized thereby.

Nor is it open to question that Capa was supremely confident of his own chances. With good reason, for not only had the 1927 Tour. ney marked the beSt achievement of his long career, but his personal record with Alekhine led him to believe that the latter could not gain a single point against him.

Such, tOO, was the verdict of the critics. Spielmann forecast not a single win for the challenger. Kostic, who had no particular love for Capa, was of the same opinion. He wrote in a German chess publication "Die Neueste Schachnachrichten" arrer the match:

"Before the beginning of the match, all the masters, almost without exception-in. eluding myself imost naturally_were con. vinced that Capablanca would surely emerge the winner. Eaoh ba'sed his opln. ion upon the perlection of his technique, which had ,become legendary. Such was my belief also, based upon the opportunity I had during the war to become familiar with his playlng.strength .. !'

, _ I

DECEMBER, 1935

Kostic further expressed the current thought that Capa could be defeated by none of .rhe grandmasters and revealed that at the Kecske­met Tournament in 1927, Alekhine had con_ fided to him his own determination to wrest 3 or 4 games from the champion before he yielded the necessary 6 wins. Such was the goal of the challenger.

Bernard Kagan, chess publisher and a player of expert calibre and Judgment, commented upon the general surprise at the course of the match. "It was incomprehensible to most players," he wtote, " that Dr. Alekhine could have scored such success .• . However, know_ ing that the doctor was in splendid form and well prepared for the contest, I predicted that . .. he would win several games in the match ... But a final triumph for Dr. Alek_ hine was not to be anticipated."

I Such was the most optimistic forecast which die European admirers of the challenger could irldulge in. Even his extraordinary showing at Kecskemet was insufficient to arouse visions of possible success fo r the gifted Franco.Russian. In fact the general consensus of critical opin_ ion ran to Spielmann's forebod ing that he would not score a single game.

However, as soon as the match was over, the tenor of comment changed radically. Dr. Lasker typified the g radual shift of opinion under the subtle pressure of the prosaic fact. Interviewed in Berlin, he was guoced as fol_ lows:

"What is your comment upon the victory of Dr. Alekhine?"

"It is the victory of the invincible contestant 0F r rhe spirit which would flee from the un­k?owable. Capablanca would attain certainty c~rough wisdom: Alekhine is more of an artist, ~re adventurous, and this spirir is in principle tile more powerful as long as we are concerned with a matter of struggle."

"Were you surprised at (he outcome of (he match?"

"No. I expected victory for Alekhine as soon as I saw (hat he would carry the fight (0

his opponent." Presumably it is considered a strategic error

fo r a great man to be surprised at anything. For the attitude of Dr. Lasker was the key_note of critical comment in the chess world. With a few exceptions the masters rushed to do hom. age (0 the new king. The fact escaped chal. lenge: only "raisons d'etre" were unearthed (0

indicate the superiority of the conqueror avec the conquered.

We have indicated our disbelief that the match at Buenos Aires can be rationalized to demonstrate any of these things. The perti_ nent guestion is, therefore- what is its signi_

283

ficance? Our answer is-and this applies to 90% of all matches and contests-that in six weeks late in 1927, out of 34 games played, Dr. Alekhine won 6 and Capablanca won 3, with 25 draws. Beyond these isolated facts is merely the over_emphasis that the ultimate vic_ tory of one side brings in its train.

A careful examination of the games shows clearly the scant margin of the viaer. The loss of the first game was a tremendous blow to CapabJanca. For up to that time nothing had occurred to indicate that the challenger could defeat him in a single game. In fact Capa's attitude toward Alekhine was somewhat that of guide and mentor- almost a big brotherly fee ling- and included the we ll. founded conviction of absolute superiority.

Yet in spi{e of this initial win and the morai advantage It confer.red, at the end of ten games Capablanca led by the score of 2_1 with 7 draws.

This is a noteworthy fact. Lasker retained his title in his match with Schlechter by the score of 1_1 and 8 draws in a 10 game match. The chess world has never since that time con_ sidered this -a particular blot on the good doc_ ror's record.

Unfortunately, for Capablanca the contest was prolonged considerably, and as a champion who had come guite lackadaisically to the match, and had somewhat lost his keen zese for bartle, the odds lengthened against him. He was guick to sense this, and shortly after the fifteenth game his letters ro friends in New York looked forward to a rerurn contest,

As it happened, the loss of the 11th 1!.nd 12th games proved the curning point. The first of these was won by Dr. Alekliine, though his op­ponent was guilty of several errors of judg_ ment. But the second was lost by an extraor­dinary blunder-an oversight almost incompre­hensible, Thereafter Capa puc up a teal fight, and it was not until the utter weariness of the fina l games set in, that Aiekhine obtained the necessary 6 games.

We do not state these facts in a controversial spirit. Our study of the match makes (hese conclusions inescapable, This is the record:

Capablanca won the 3rd, 7th and 29th games.

Alekhll'le WOI'I the 1st, 11th, 12th, 21st, 321'1d al'ld 34th.

The rest were drawn. Beyond the simple facts all generalization

is apt to be unwarranted. Except perhaps that a title match is no rest_cure for a chess cham_ pion no matter who his opponent, and that a return engagement between these principals should not be delayed.

Curious Chess Facts By IRVING CHERNEV

Reuben Fine and ,Isaac Kashdan are offiCers in the Mexican army.

A race ·horse has been named after Capa_ blanca.

Rubinstein won four (4) brilliancy prize~ in one tournament (Teplitz-S:.:honau, 1922).

Dake, playing the English opening, beat H. Muller (who had written a treatise on this opening) in 21 moves.

A book has been published called "One Hund'red and One of My Best Games of Chess"'. Ie co~tains 109 games.

Tchigorin, who had so much trouble finding a defense to I P_Q4, played this as White only once in his entire tournament career (Nurem_ berg 1896).

G. A. MacDonnell was the winner of a tour_ nament played in 1868 at London whetein a1\ the contestants began their games with the positions of their Knigl1!s and Bishops reversed.

A chess critic, spe;tking over the radio in 1935, gave it as IllS opinion that Alekhine's style was not convincing . At that time Alek_ hine had 28 first prizes to his credit, 16 of them without a single loss, undoubtedly the greatest record ever achieved by any chess master!

In the 1935 Championship Tournament of the Williamsburgh Chess Club, 35 games were played in succession without a single draw being recorded.

In the double round tourney held at Baden_ Baden 1870, Anderssen beat Steinitz 2_0, Stein_ itz beat Neumann 2-0, and Netlmann beat An_ derssen 2-0.

Most players arc proud of their victories, but Napier thinks the best game he ever played to be the one he lost to Dr. Lasker at Cambridge Springs, 1904.

The game between Carlos Tone and Ernest Grunfeld was adjudged "the most beautiful of the M~rienbad 1925 tournament," The com· mittee, in 'awarding the brilliancy prizes, did not rake the game into consideration, as they erroneously believed one variation of Torre's combination to be unsound. They discovered tbeir error too late to make tile award as by that time Torre had returned to America.

2.' In COntrast to this, Capablanca was awarded

a brilliancy prize for his game against Schroeder in 1916, for a beautiful variation which never occurred bur which Capablanca had in mind.

In a tOurnament played at Mexico in 1935, nine Mexicans and three Americans were the participants. Each of the Americans made a clean sweep against the Mexicans. In their individual encounters Dake beat Fine, Fine beat Steiner and Steiner won from Dake, leaving a most curious triple tie for flfst place.

In the 21st round of the New York 1924 tournament, a most curious and almost incred_ ible position arose between Janowski and Ed. Lasker. White had three connected passed pawns on the 7th rank ready to Qucen. Black had one passed pawn on the 7th. Surely a most remarkable situation and one which could never have occurred before in master play and yet

In the 62nd match game between La Bour_ donnais and McDonnell, the former had three connected passed pawns on the 7th rank ready to Queen, and the latter had one passed pawn on the 7th.

VI' to 193-1, neither Dr. Lasker nor Capa_ blanca had ever finished below 3rd in tourna_ ment play. At Zurich 1934, Lasker finished 5th, his po?fest tournament performance, while Capa a !Jttte later (at Moscow 1935) could do no better than 4th, his lowest score to date.

A curious double disaster occurred also to Lasker and Capablanca in 1934. Alekhine beat Lasker at Zurich in 26 moves, sacrificing a Queen to do so. Lilienthal, at Hastings, Deat Capablanca in 26 moves, also sacrificing his Queen.

Steinitz was once arrested as a spy. Police authorities assumed that the moves made by Steini!z in playing his correspondence games with Tchigorin were part of a code by means of which important war secrets could be com_ municated.

Harrwitz published a book on chess in which several Morphy games were quoted. All of these were games that Morphy lost.

Capablanca, who is credited with the "guick_ est sight" of any chess master living and who has the reputation of being the world's beSt rapid_transit player, lost a tournament game (in Moscow, 1935) on time limit.

After ten moves of his game against Berger in Carlsbad 1907, Marshall had his KKt at QB3 and his QKt at KB3.

THE CHESS REVIEW

1 have in one or ewo cases penalized solvers for giving incorrea variations. Likewise, for claiming false cooks I have deducted (he full value of a prob­lem. This 1 feel is fair; if you gee three poims for being right on a cook, you should lose Ihree for being wrong.

In fUlUre, please. send solutions as follows :

For two movers: Keys alone.

For three and four movers: Key move, and all varIations leading to a distinct White ~ec· ond move. See for example the solutions above to the three and four movers.

For cooks: just the Key move. .

Be sure to avoid ambiguity in writing a move: thus, in sending so!utiops to No. 350, one or two sent 1 Sg3. This is insufficient; it should have been written 1 S(h)g3 or 1 S(h5)g3 or KSg3.

I shall be very serict about enforcing these rules; poinlS will be deducted for infractions.
