Game Department
The match between Flohr and Botwinnik ended in a tie after fourteen games. The first six, which were played in Moscow, were won by Flohr with two wins and four draws; the next eight games, played in Leningrad, resulted in Botwinnik winning two and drawing six, resulting in a tie for the match.
The following game, which was won by Flohr, demonstrates the power of the two bishops against two knights, and the writer took this as the theme for his lecture last Wednesday evening at the Hollywood Athletic Club.

Nimzo-Indian Defense: Classical. Berlin Variation (E38) 1-0
Another game by the writer against the Polish champion, Akiba Rubenstein, who was visiting in this country in 1928, demonstrates that even against superior force the rook and pawn ending can be drawn.
