Game Department
It is always interesting to see the younger generation's determination to fight for supremacy. Salo Florh does not need introduction, as he has proved himself one of the ablest aspirants for the world's championship. M. Botvinnik of Russia is lesser known due to his country's obscurity up to the present time and his inability therefore to participate in any of the international tournaments. He is only 19 years of age and has won the Russian national championship twice. His present match with Flohr should reveal the hopes placed in him. We are presenting the first two games of these young giants and more will follow later.
