Frederick D. Yates, many times British champion, passed away recently. He specialized in the Ruy Lopez and was nearly unbeatable in it. The following game is probably one of the last examples of this opening left by him. From the 1932 British championship tourney, when Yates was deposed as titleholder by the young East Indian, Sultan Khan.

L.A. Times Game No. 324

Fred Dewhirst Yates (white) vs. Conel Hugh O'Donel Alexander (black)
