The Hanauer-Borochow Match
The Los Angeles Chess and Checker Club arranged an informal match of two games between Milton Hanauer, former New York State champion and member of the 1928 American Olympic team, and Harry Borochow, California State champion. The first game was played on Thursday evening, October 4, and after six hours of play was adjourned, with a winning position for Borochow. It was continued next day for another two hours during which Borochow overlooked several winning continuations and Hanauer escaped luckily with a draw. The second game was played on the same evening and again Borochow built up a superior game but in trying to force the issue too quickly, lost the game. The score is as follows:

I'll Be Judge You Be Jury 14 Oct 1934, Sun The Los Angeles Times (Los Angeles, California) Newspapers.com

I'll Be Judge You Be Jury
BY PAUL JORDAN-SMITH
Chess players may resent the defection of Mr. Edward Lasker from their ranks, revealed in his new book, “Go and Go-Moku” (Knopf), wherein he records his opinion that the ancient game of Go is destined to take the place of Chess as the leading intellectual game of the Occident, just as it has reigned supreme in the Orient for some four thousand years.

AN ANCIENT GAME
Mr. Lasker, one of the famous chess champions of the world, now professes to like thus above all others. He learned to play in 1907 and all these years he has been a missionary to the Occident. Now that the implements of the game are available to Americans, Mr. Lasker has done this guide-book, furnishing the rules of the game and describing its tactics. He also gives a brief of history of the game, which had its origin during the reign of he Chinese Emperor Shun, sometime between the years 2255 and 2206 B.C. It crossed over to Japan around 754 A.D. and its popularity there may be compared to the popularity of baseball in America. Go-Moku is a simpler variety of the same game.
