Winkelman a by. Jose R. Capablanca of Havana., Cuba, former world chess champion, emerged victorious but not unscathed from his encounter with forty of New England's leading chess players at Boston, Mass., winning thirty-two, drawing six and losing two games. Something must be done, says Senor J. R. Capablanca. chess wizard, to make the game of chess more difficult.
. ' In 20 or 35 years, he says, compounding the amazement of thousands of fans who find chess quite difficult enough In its present form there will be probably a half dozen players who will have mastered all of Its possibilities, enabling them f to make every game a draw. , To avoid this state of affairs, Capablanca proposes the addition of two more pieces, and two more squares width to the board. The pieces he suggests would go In between the queen and the queen's bishop and the king and the king's bishop. He would call them, perhaps, the minister and the marshal.
Two additional pawns also would have to be added. The new pieces would move, one as the rook and the knight, the other as the bishop and the knight. From the New York Times. A final call upon Dr. Alexander Alekhine of Paris to accept his challenge for a match for the world's chess championship was Issued by Jose R. Capablanca, Cuban chess star and former world's champion. Capablanca calls for the match to be played under the London rule3 of 1922 either In the United States or Cuba during the winter of 1931-32. Dr. Alekhine won the title from Capablanca at Buenos Aires in 1927. In addressing his demands to Dr. Alekhine, Capablanca stated that the present champion during the course of their match in 1927 promised to play a return match with him In the United States in the winter of 1928-29. Capablanca also stated that in accordance with the London rules adopted in 1922, which require a champion to accept any bona fide challenge for his title within one year from such challenge, he addressed a formal challenge to Dr. Alekhine on October 8, 1928, but that Dr. Alekhine rejected it because he was "previously engaged for another title match during that year." ' The Cuban further asserted that Dr. Alekhine failed to live up to an agreement made in the spring of 1929 with Capablanca's New York representative, Dr. N. L. Lederer, to play a championship match in the spring of last year. In concluding his final call upon Dr. Alekhine to accept his bid, Capablanca declared that "in the event of your failure to accept this challenge to appear against me I will be compelled to claim the championship of the world by default and will be prepared thereafter to meet all comers for the title in free and open competition.
