NOTTINGHAM AND PHILADELPHIA
For the benefit of those who may have missed the final standings of these two tournaments in the daily press, the Nottingham tournament resulted in a dual triumph for Capablanca and Botvinnik, closely followed by Euwe, Fine and Reshevsky. At Philadelphia the winner was I. Horowitz, who thus succeeds Fine as champion of the American Chess Federation.
Horowitz won a brilliant game from his fellow New Yorker, Kashdan. Note the two sacrifices!
