The Morning Call's Chess and Checker Column Problems, Games, Positions In End Games and News Items Will Be Welcomed W. H. STECKEL, Editor 1 Th?K7nlted States chess team won the world's championship In the international team tournament of the International Chess Federation during the past week scoring 48 points, Poland, last year's champion gaining second place with 47. Winning the title Is all the more notable as three members of the team (Steiner, Horowitz and Dake) had obtacles put in their way even before they crossed the Atlantic. Those who have commented on the strength of these players can do no more than retract the unjust statements that wr: made, this in Justice to the players in question.
We agree with those who are responsible and those who aided the team financially that the tear.) could cross the Atlantic and overcome big odds, that those who are a nonentity in chess circles yes even in their own city, should remain a same, and not give unreasonable news and comments that are not Justified and wanted. In the final round the U. 6. had to contend with Poland who incidentally had about the strongest team entered. Even after their ace in the hole (Kashdan) had lost to Ruben-stein, the team did not become discouraged but went right ahead and tried to win and very near did v,hen Marshall and Steiner scored draws and Horowitz winning his game against Pizeprorka, thus after ah gaining a tie with Poland and the championship.
The International trophy, donated by the Hon. T. O. Hamilton-Russell of England In 1927 was won that year by Hungary, which country successfully defended same at the Hague in 1928. The next competition at Hamburg In 1930 was won by Poland.
In capturing it this year, the members of the United States team made the following scores: Kashdan, 12-S, Marshall, 10-6; Horowitz, 10-4; Dake. 814-5V4. and Steiner, 7',-4-3'i. Of the eighteen matches contested by the Americans, 12 were won, 3 tied and 3 lost.
