ADAMS AND HIS VIENNA
Weaver Adams, former U.S. open champion, invariably plays the Vienna opening when he has white. And he frequently wins. Playing against Albert Pinkus in the U.S. Open Tournament in Detroit last summer, however, he came a cropper. This is the tournament which was won by young Arthur Bisguier of New York. Here is the Adams-Pinkus game:
