The Editor's Castle 37th Annual A, C. F. Tournament

The year 1936 will be long rcmc mbcrctl for its many nouble- chess events. The World Championship March, the Hastings Congress, the M argate Congress, the Al l-Russian Trade Union Tournament, and the United States Championship Tournament lw.ve all wt itten thei r names bo ldly :1cross Caissa's scroll. The Moscow Internationa l Tournament is making history as these li nes arc wrinen, and yet to come arc the Nottingham International Tou r. nament and the annual American Chess Fed. erat ion Congress.

W hile American chess enthusiasts fo llow world affairs avid ly, they naturally are even more interested in outstanding d :>mestic events.

The American Chess Federation has authOf. ized us to announce that its thirty.seventh con. secutive annual Congress wi ll commence on August 1 ~, 1930. A meeting of the Eastern D irectors of the Federation was held May I at the Marshall Chess Club in New York City . The bid of the City of Philadelphia co act as host for the Con,f,:ress was acccjJted.

A guaranty fund of $2,000.00 has be~n pledged by leading Philadelphia enthusiasts. M r. Sidney T . Sharp and Mr. Will iam A. Ruth, both d irectors of , he American Chess Feder. ation, will be in Charge, and the Congress itself will be sponsored by the Philadelphia Chess Association. Officers of the Associat ion arc: Wm. A. Ruth, Presi dent; Harry B. Oste r, Vice. President; I rving Goldstein, Secretary; E. Ray. mond Glover, T reasu rer. The co.operation of Mayor Harry T. Wi lson, the Philadelph ia Chamber of Comme rce, chess dubs, and news. papers is assu red.

The Congress will be mote than a mere tour. namenr. It is the inrem of the Federation to make this event, fo r the first time in the history of American chess, a convention of chess players from all partS of the United States. T he last two weeks in August was chosen widl this idea in mind. Jr is hoped that chess playe rs throughout the country will arrange their va. Cation schedu les accordingly.

The tournament as in the past wi ll be an "open" affair. Any chess .pla}'er may enter by paying an entrance fee of $ t O.OO. M r. Kirk D . l-Iolland, Vice· President o f the A. C. F., has generous ly donated a very handsome trophy which will be placed in competition fo r the fi rst t ime , his year.

The United States Championship Tournament

The long three_week grind of chess play is over. The sixteen comcscanrs gathered in New York City to battle for the tide of United States Champion have gone back to their reo spective homes in all parts of the country. They worked hard and are entitled to a rest while the chess players from coast to coast hail the new titleholder-Samuel Reshevsky.

"Sammy" is too well known to the chess world to require morc than a thumbnail sketch in these pages. Born in Poland and brought to America at the age of 9, he wuted the country giving simultaneous exhibitions, and made a profound impression wherever he wene Ju[ius Rosenwald, the head of Sears, Roebuck & Co., became interested in him. He persuaded the boy's parents to settle down and allow their son to sccure a good education. Reshevsky was graduated from the Detroit High School and the University of Chicago, where he studied accounting. He dropped out of chess for ecn years and it was not until 1931 that he picked up where he had left off. In thac year, he reentered the chess arena, and took first prize at Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the an· nual tournament of the American Chess Fed. eration. Since then he has managed to mix a li ttle chess with his business. He finished second to Fille in til(,' A. C. F. Tourneys of 1932 and 1933, tied with Fine for first in 1934, won rhe Syracuse International Tourney 1934 and the Margate and Great Yarmouth Tourneys held in England in 1935.

H is vicrory in the United States Champion. ship Tournament is a splendid testimonial to his stout.hearted fighting spirie. He starred off on the right foot with a victory in the firSt round. His dtaw in the second round still left him among the leaders. But his loss CO Bern. stein in the third round, capped by his loss to Horowitz in the fourth round, made his chances look rather slim. At this point, how. ever, he really buckled down ro work and his score in the next eleven rounds tells its own srory- 9 wins and 2 draws.

An analysis of his games reveals that he steadfastly carried the attack to his opponent. He was not satisfied at any time to accept: a routine draw, but worked very hard over each game and refused to call quits until every pos. sibility had been exhausted. He really deserved to win. The chess players of the United States may congratu late themselves upon the fact that for the next two years the crown will be worn by one whose chess truly reflects the standard of play in this country.

SAMUEL RESH.!iVSKY

In taking second place, Albert C. Simonson, youngest of the contestants, achieved a posi­tion which none had forecast for him. Despite the fact that he played on the United States World Championship Team at Folkestone, England, in 1933, his record was nOt outstand. ing enough to win him a place among the seeded players. Only a close circle of friends realized the steady increase in his playing strength during the past few years. The first public intimation of his prowess occurred this past winter when he tied with Alexander Kev. itz for the championship of the Manhattan C. C.- losing the play.off.

His play during the tournament was marked by keenness of perception and boldness of ex· ecution. If it were not for his youth, (he was 21 las t December), he would probably have scored a tremendous upset and finished first. His only losses occurred in the first and last rounds. He played his first game against Kash. dan in a spirie of youthful bravado, and before he knew it, was a rook behind with no com. pensation. Sobered by his defeat, he played more rationally thereafter, drawing when nec. essary, playing for a win when the position in. dicated, and emered the final round tied with Reshevsky for the lead. Paired against Facror,

he made the (:ltal mis take o f youth, and p layed fo r a w in at a ll COStS, l ailing CO kee p the draw in hand . T he result was d isastrous.

Third and fou rth p rizes were sha red by G rorge N e lson T reysman and Reuben Fine. T reysman's fi ne showing can be ranked as one o f the outsiandi ng events o f the tou rnament . T he o ld sayi ng that a p rophet is without honor in his o wn cou nrry is very ap ropos in his case. O nly a few o f the better p laye rs who had crossed ~words with him in occasio nal le:lgue matches acco rded h im much consideratio n in thei r calculations. Fine p layed steady chess but dre w 100 many garnes. H e lost the least number of games, b ue-the fi nal score o f 7 w ins, 1 loss and 7 d raws does not represent h is (Cue possib il ities. H e had [Q bear T reysman in rhe fi nal round to tie w ith him.

Kashda n finished in fifth place-a g reat dis. appointment to his supporters . His loss to Ha naue r hurr his chances considerab ly.

Srephens worked long and hard . The first ro und was confined to one session

o f play (Saturday, April 25 ) , and the evening devoted to a banquet in hono r o f F rank J. M a rshall , retiring champio n , and rhe co n· testants.

At the beginn ing of the firs t round sp«ial prizes were offe red to the p layers as follows: For the most b rilliant game, $50 a nd for the best played game $2 5, both com ributed by 1. S. Turover of W ashing to n. By anothe r W ash. ingtonian who desires to remain anonymous, $5 0 for rhe most brilliant game o pening with P.K4. By H arold M. Phi llips, $50 fo r t he best score by a non.prize w inne r against t he p rize winners. By R. G. Wahrburg, $25 fo r the second beSt score by a no n.prize winne r against the pri ;>:e wi nners.

The br illiancy and best p layed game prizes h ave nOt yet been vo ted upon. W e hope to be able to announce the winners in our July issue. Abraham Kupch ik and I. A. Horowitz divided the two prizes for the beSt score by a non_prize winner against rhe prize winners- both scor· ing 2 points against the first five .

D enlur·Pille : A bit of excitement at the tail end of an uneventful game-but il petered out into nothing. Ht1I1t1l1tr·H oroUlil2: A d ean CU I win' for the second player. Hanauer's remark "W here did 1 blunder ?"" attests to th is. FM/or·Bernstein : In· accurate opening play left Factor with a weak Pawn which he subsequently lost, and with it went the game. Kashdall ·Simonson : Simonson adopted a line recommended hy Dr. Tartakower but varied at the critical moment arid went astray. Rtsht vs!y. MOrIOn: Through a maze of (omplicatiOrlS Reshev­sky maintained the whip hand, winding up two Pawns ro the good. Daiu.K"ptbile: Dake obtained a powerful bind at his 1'th turn which he capitalized in grand style.

Kevilz, suspecting that his opponenl had something up his sleeve, never· theless went headloos imo the variation, and o/xained a beautiful game.

All the favo rites were forcing the play.

D Mker_Hanau er: At the expense of a piece. Han· auer ventured on an incorrect combination to free a cramped posit ion. Horowilz-Faclor : Equalizing in the opening, Factor played tOO boldly, and allowed his Kt to become trapped. BernsleilJ·Ka!hdan : At his wits' end to make the advantage of a B tell over a Kt, Kashdan was aided by his opponent , who blun. dered at his tu rn to seal.

Had he scored this vital point, as he shou ld have, wha t a di ffe tent story would have been wri tten. Kupchik­Steinu: The recipe for a swel l concoction, but both players were indifferent.

The "odds on" favorite stumbled, but the rest of the contenders are still setting a faSt pace.

Ktlshdan-Horo wilz; Accu rate (oumer play de­featc<'! an almost sound sacrifice bJ' H orowi tz. ReJh­eVJk)'-BernSlein; O ne poor move nullified thirty-five good ones.

Dake threw a half_point away, while Reshev_ sky was upset fo r a second time. The rest o f the favorites were running true to form.

Denker·KaJhdan: Continua! pressure netted an ex­change, which required a bir of fin esse to capitalize. Kashdan was equal to the occasion. Fine_Kevil;;: Another experiment with dle Budapest. Clever end play by Keyilz held a draw. KU/Jrhik·Adami: " Did you overlook it ?" Kupchik was heard to say as he grabbed a Pawn in the opening. For a while, how_ ever, ;t appeared that K had overlooked someth ing. Morlr)l1-TreJJman : Monon was unable to hold a menacing queen side Pawn advance in check. Simon. Jon-Su iner: Pointless jockeying for position foun d Steiner a Pawn minus, with the inferior posi tion. Btfnltein·Dake: A game full of vicissitudes ; draw­win--draw. Horowitz·ReshevJky: Prodigy picks Pawn. 'Pays piper. Hanauer·PaClor : Two Pawns to ehe good, but Hanauer was unable to hold the adverse commanding b ishops in restraint.

Kashdan's second successive loss featured this round. Dake remained in the lead with Fine keeping pace. Horowitz began to skid with an unexpected loss to Adams.

Fine-Mor/on ; An impclUous attack fin ds no opening and reco ils to Morton's disadvantage. Simon­wn-KuNhik ; Kupchik missed his chance in the opening. Simonson returned the compliment in the ending. BernJlein·Kevilz ; That the French Defense is a strong attack was pointed out by Kevin. Horo_ wilz-Adams : Horowitz refused a draw. Denk.er­Treyunan: Sharp th rusts enahled Treysman to hurdle difficul r harriers. Hanauer-Steiner : An unimpressive draw. Facto r-Dake: A good example of Mail ing. The winner had more patience.

Re!hevi kY_Fine ; Unenterprising, exchange varia­tion of the Prench Defense. Dlike-Ka,hdaIJ." One is afraid, the other da ren·t. Steiner-Factor: In a rather complicaled posilion, Stein .;-r was outplayed. TreYim aIJ _Hanauer." Hanauer must have missed his opportunity in Ihe opening- Ihe pmitiuo looked t(j() good.

Reshevsky for the third time overthrows a pace maker, this time usurping his position. Simonson manages to keep pace.

Reshevi ky-TreYJl!lan : A vIgorous Queen side Pawn advance should have been countered with a King side attack- and wasn't. Horou,itz·Simonson .' Simonson won a Pawn. Simonson lost a Pawn. The game should have been drawn, but Horowitz was off form. Fine.BerIHtein : The clergy, after a merry chase, succeeded in bagging the quarry. KaJhdan. Adami.'

Interest is at fever heat due to the stirri ng duel between Reshevsky and Simonson . Treys. man is coo close to both of them for comfort.

Fine·Horowitz : Fine was ready 10 mix it at all COStS but to no avail. Dedu· Be'1I1rein: Why call it a draw in the ad journed position? Hanauer-Sim. OniOn : A rich reward fo r line play, courage and

d erermination. Farlor·Morlon: Neither side could or cared to make an im:rreSSion. Ka1hdan.Kup(hik: For once Kupchik fai le 10 recapture a Pawn when he had the opportunity. ReJhetIJky·Kef1ilz: A weak. ness in the opposing ranks- anorher, and then a rhird-that was more than enough. Dake.Adam! : A real old fash ioned set· ro, and a treat fbr the kib­in ers . S/(i"~.·T~eysma": T reysman managed a mobile Pawn majori!y 10 advantage.

reversal in a recent match ag;linst players of the Dartmouth Club; with names 01 winning team first mentioned, the scoring is submitted as: Chisholm 1, W ro:::n 1: Barss 2, Jakin 0; Stanford 0, McMahon 2; Lynch I Yl, Waddell ~'2; Stroud lY2 , Lucas Yl ; Clarke I, Milgate 1.

The Toronto championship and name of title holder must be synonymous in a practical sense; as it is today, a mention of Toronto·s city cham_ pionship caust:s one to think of Belson! The 1936 event came to its ult imate conclusion with J. H . Belson and trO\,hy facing the camera. The record now attaine( b,. J . H. B. is extended to one more term and accounts for five con_ secutive repeats in as many years! As reported, the fina l order is:: J . H. Belson 6Y2 -Y2; R. E. Martin 6_1 ; P. Auerbach 4Y2-2Y2; C. F. Good­man 3Y2-3J,'2; D. Murray 3-4; R. Drummond 2-5; S. W. Stock 1J,'2-5Y2; B. H. Hawker 1_6.

After the final ninth round in the Toronto Major Tournament, K. Kerns appeared to have excellent chances of clinch ing first honors, with leading scores as: Kerns 7_0; Bambridge 4-1 ; Erichsen. Brown 4Y2-tJ,'2; Taylor 3Yl-2Vz; ad­journments unaccounted.

"A hot time for hot weather,'· seems to be the slogan of chess clubs in Toronto, with friendly matches planned for the entire summer season, and with the Toronto Chess Club al_ ready reported to be setting a haughty pace (!) , under the able supervision of R.

COLLE'S CHESS MASTERPIECES By FRED REiNFELD Pritt $1.50

When Edgar Colle died on April 20, 1932, he was but 35 years of age. Yet he left behind him an impressive record in over.the·board combat and in contributions to the theory of chess. Even today when the general hypothesis of chess play is undergoing revision, Colle's Variation may still be relied on to lead the staid Queen Pawn Opening inco enterprising channels.

Of such stuff were his tactical maneuvers and opening innovations made thac it was only fit. ting that they be gathered cogether to effect their proper appraisal. For this task the public owes a debt of gratitude to Fred Reinfeld. Painstakingly has he tapped every available source, culled the best, and with pungent com· ment added, transformed the mass of chess data inco a really enjoyable book.

Fifty.one games are recorded, each thor. oughly annotated in the inimitable fashion Reinfeld has Set for himself. Indices of players, openings, tactical motifs, strategical motifs and ~nd_games serve as valuable guides in shonen_ 109 the labors of the reader. The book is fur. ther enhanced by a shon biography of Colle.

TIlE ART OF OIESS COMBINATION By EUGEN E ZNOSKo.BoROVSKY Price $3.00

From the facile pen of Znosko.Botovsky an. other book comes to light, and this time in a more ~pecialized field-combinations. In a dear, lucid manner the author tackles this fas. cinating angle of chess play. Begjnning in the most elementary fashion by defining a com· bination and building up gradually to embrace problems, studies, geometrical ideas, and num· erous other tactical and strategical motifs, the reader is led on to the concluding chapters en· titled "The Life and Death of a Combination." Under this heading we find the sub.divisions: I Preparing the Combination; II The Meehan. ism of Combinations and III Refuting a Com. bination.

To enable the reader to learn the art of com. bination and to improve his gifts of imagination and analysis, the author submits an exercise or tWO at the end of various chaplers. The solu. tions to these exercises are appended at the back of the book. 200 illustrative examples, ' well indexed, may also be found there.

212 pages, 8x5, cloth cover, clear, readable type. well diagrammed.
