Reshevsky Simultaneous
On Jan. 28 Samuel Reshevsky gave a simultaneous exhibition at the home of Gottfried Reinhardt, where he played against 37. He won 33, drew three (against Mrs. Matilda Harmat, Hunter Weaks and Leonard Standers) and lost one to D. Amneus. The following evening he played against six players at the home of Alexander Bisno with clocks (40 moves in two hours). Here he won three, lost one to Sven Almgren, drew with Jim Cross, and one game, against Robert Smith, which was adjourned to be adjucated, looked like a draw.
