A. Kupchik 4 1 A. Denker 34 14 D. MacMurray .3 2 E. Schwartz 3 2 R. Willman 24 4 I. Kashdan 14 14 Kashdan's low score is due to the brilliancy of one of the younger players, A. S. Denker, who won a fine game. Kashdan no doubt felt that he should score against his younger opponent and probably weakened his position by attempting to force an attack which was not warranted.
