Dashing Player
Andre Lilienthal is hardly heard of nowadays. He was a dashing player when I knew him in Paris, and played him in a number of tournaments in Spain and England. His brilliant win over Capablanca in Margate, 1936, will long be remembered. He is a Soviet citizen and plays in a number of Moscow tournaments, but that's all one hears of the romantic Andre. The game that follows was played in the championship of Moscow, 1944.
