IMPORTANT DRAW
The United States team defeated Argentina in the international team match in Yugoslavia last month by a score of 2½-1½. At first board, for each country, was a player born in Poland. Samuel Reshevsky having lived in this country for about 30 of his 39 years and Miguel Najdorf having remained in Argentina when war broke out in 1939 and Poland was overrun.
The draw seems a little premature, but undoubtedly neither player was satisfied with his own position and the draw clinched the match for the United States.
