VETERAN EX-CHAMPION OUTPLAYS ENGLISHMAN
A timely counter thrust at the seventeenth move, breaking up his English opponent's combination, followed by some gilt-edge end play, earned for Dr. Emanuel Lasker, veteran ex-world champion, a notable victory over Sir George Thomas in the international tournament at Nottingham. Dr. Lasker also held Dr. Alexander Alekhine to a draw.
A bit of brilliancy brought victory to Dr. Max Euwe of Amsterdam at the expense of William Winter, British champion. The scores:
