Queen Pawn Game: Colle System (D04) 0-1
Albert C. Simonson administers the first defeat to Reuben Fine. Both sides castle on opposite wings. Fine is overcautious and the attack soon passes to his opponent, who pushes through relentlessly and ends with a brilliant Knight sacrifice, forcing his Pawn through to a new Queen.

Queen's Gambit Declined: Three Knights Variation. General (D37) 0-1
When two leaders meet the result is too often a colorless draw. Here both the players exhibit great caution and establish “blocked positions” at almost every opportunity.
