Battle Creek (CHESS LH'E. October 20, 1948). The results wer e not satlsfllctOry.

I"ifteeu playdrs were taught the moyes and of these none has troubled himself . to a ppear at the club. }>'ive players s ucceeded in wiuning at least one galile from .the attendant, and thus winlling a tree c lub membersh ip. A tota l of lliirty Ilersons played. A month later, onl~' one of these has appeared to play at the club.

Additional Daca By A . Buschke

(Conti"urd jTo", -,he Jdn lldry 5th i1JU~ of CHESS LIFE)

T HE T\VO iustances we refer to arc the games 21 (Alekhlne­

K imzowitch, AII-Russiau Masters' Tournament, SL ,PetersJrurg 1914) and 41 (Aleithine--LeYitsk i, 8th match galll e, 1913 .

\Ve ha\'e a lways foulld it quite fasc inat ing to compare notes by the same anuotator to the same game in d ifferent publications, and par· ticular ly when tho author of the notes is one or the partners, and a t that one of the outstand ing mastCI'S and annotolOI'S of his d ay, like Alekhine. No doubt, just such writers will find it difficul t to jus t repeat their old notes in the sec· ond publicatioll, a ud as theil' in· s ight and unders tand ing for tho In­tricacies of the game sharpens, will no t be satiSfied with lheir old on. notation s, so they will certainly re­

. vise thell! . ad just them to recent discovel'ies in the openings, poin t out shortcuts fo und ( by others or ily themsclYes) in the meantime, ctc.

1··o1'tllnatcly. just in goIng t h rough Aleklline's games, it is often yery rewarding to compare h is "old" no tes ~ith the lIew ones IlUblished in his OWIl collections of "Best Games"; in his eary gamos, be was one o[ t he most ind ustrious con· trilmtors of aUliotations to such newspapers as "Novoe Vremia" (Ncw Times), a nd m OllY of the ga mes (his own and other players') annotaled by Alekh ine werc reo peated iu "Shakhmatnyi Vestnik," a semi·monthly chess magazl!le w'hich was published in )loscow from 1913-1916.

Compared with the rather exten· sive notes in "Dest Games 1MS· 1923," Atekhlne's 110tes to the fo l· lowing game In "No\'oe Vl'emill" of Jan. 10, 1914 (repl'l lI tCld In "S11akh· malny! Vestnlk" 1914, no. 8 ot F eb. 1, 1914) are unus ually shol·t . As fal· as t ile notes In "Best Games 1908-1923" are concerned, we may refer our I'eaders to Game 21 (p. 56) In that collect ion; -& lnce. occasionally, lhey eveu (litrel' from the notes publlshed In the German edition. We will a lso refer to more Import· an t tliscl'ellancies In tbe following ]Jnhllcalion of the game whero a ll

K U'tT RICHTER, one of EUI'oPc's mos t pl'olilic and most engaging chess writers. presents here the book or lhe German champion­

Theil come the first and second bri1!laucy prize games and the Max Lango pdze gam e . In the other sectio ns a ppear nearly a hundred games and positions undcr such special lwadlngs as short games. blllnd Cl's, the bishop pair; the blockad e, knight Ilgalnst bishop, and 80 on. E ,·cry gl~me and posltlon 19 aunotated; there al'e 96 dlngr.ams . The g am es are indeXed by opcning-s alld by 1llayers. with cross I·e fe rellces. The scoretablc (s how ing opponents by number, as in Cli ESS LIFE tables) I'evea ls that the winnel·, Bogoljuboft (l0 'h-1 'h) did not lIIeet three mon from the Il I'St ten, includtng both Unzicker and Puul Schm idt. R ichtBl' Inade an even score, as did Ahues and Saemtscb ,

The, book is "ecommClIded to the general chessplayel". not only be· cau ss the German of chess nnnotntlOns Is easy but also because the lIl cthod or presenting the mRlel·lo.1 makes tho most of it . Richter an­aJyzed the whole tournament to get his diYisiolls and examples, not mOI'ely the outstandin g games. Ths whole puhlication could serve as a model fO!' a selecl.ive toul'llament hook.

By Guilherme GroeSSeT

, Selld solU tion to Posi tion No. 39

to tile Editor, CHESS LIFE, by F eln'uary 5, 1950.

Tile pressu re of the Holfdays (a good excuse ill any case) prevented lhls colu.mnlst from announcing the rosults of the filial quarter and the year"-botll endeu .with the solution to Position No. 35. Final quarteJ' hetweelJ Sven Brask, Edmund Nash solvin g'S e nded In a th"ee-way tie alld Wm. B. \Vi lsoll with pel'Cect scores each, and the award thel'e­fore will go to the last Olle or these to miss out UPOII ,a solutiou i o the comtng year. F01: the year's award, SVOll Brask and Edmund Nash tied (the only ,solvers to submit answers to a ll 24 ,POSitions) with 22 points out of 24, but as Mr. Brask failed to submit to Position No. 36 as tie. bl'eaker, the aw a rd for the year gOeS to Mr. Nash.

We discover that we fnlle d a ll wcll to announc~ the tact that I~dw. J. Kor punly wus victol" In the t hi rd quarter by virtue or soh1ng the lie-breaking con tluuatlons, whereall Mr. Fauchcr railed to s ubmit.

For the new series, beginning with POsition No. 26, It has hoen decided to make It a stra ight lad­del· contBst, wllh prizes going to t he high ma n tor each quar ter ( scoring willS only). Pl'ize winllers w ill t heu haVe t he! r points canceled and begin over again at the bottom of the ladder.
