"IT'S YOUR MOVE" The Morning Call's Chess and Checker Column Problems, Games, Positions in End Games and News Items Will Be Welcomed W. H. STECKEL. Editor Capablanca's Chess Marathon It required eleven hours of unremitting attention to the 66 boards forming the square around which he traveled Irom 2:45 o'clock in the afternoon until 2:10 o'clock in the morning with only a half hour out for refreshments to enable Jose R. Capa-blanca to recapture the world's record for simultaneous play at the Hotel Naelonal in Havana, according to reports of this unusual chess marathon received from Cuba.
Mrs. Capablanca, radiant in white silk was present to lend necouragement to her famous husband. Gen. Alberto Herrera, chief of the general staff, presided, and Santiago Gutierrez de Celis spoke brielly, sketching the master's career. The first draw was recorded at a t?ble captained by Gumersindo Martinez, a chess veteran.
The former world's champion won 45 games from 225 consulting players, drew 17 with 85 players and lost four against 20 players. The winners were Centro Gallego, Club Ferroviario, So-cieded Cubana de Inginieros and Bufete Babino Gonzalez Montcs. Each of these clubs was represented by five players. Among the teams which drew were those from the Cuban House and Senate, the Ministry of Communications, Army Club, Aviation Club, Jockey Club, Press Club. Cuban Chess Federation and Havana Chess Club.
(New York Sun). After playing and giving simultaneous exhibitions in Reading. Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, Binghamtoi, Allen-town. Philadelphia, Harrisburg, we find that I. Kashdan is on his way to the coast to be one of the participants in the International tournament held at Los Angeles, in August.
His latest exhibition was held in Cincinnati where the young master played against 29, winning 26 and drawing 3. i Reuben. Fine arrived via a light-ray plane, as "Zuurc Chess champion of Mars," to give a simultaneous exhibition at the Marshall Chess club. His costume was most effective and his disguise most baffling at first. However, his rapid and incisive play at the ten boards arrayed against him made the hundred-odd spectators quickly suspicious of his identity, for he is the rapid transit expert of the club.
After a little over an hour's play he had won eight and lost two. Here are the results of the Consultation tournament conducted at the Mercantile Library, Philadelphia: Weiner-Levin, 5 ',-:.; Drasin-Regen, 4-2; Ruth - Winkelman, 3U-2H: Bauder-Di Martnoi, 3-3; Sack-Gordon, 2-3; Gedance-Wilklnson, 1-4; Martinez-Huntsberger, 1-5.

There were eight countries competing, each having 10 men on the team. The highest individual score was 146 points and the total possible for a team was 1460.
Great Britain finished first with 1446 points, five members of the team having a score of 146 each. The other competitors finished in the following order: Hungary, Italy, India. Holland, Norway, Germany and France. Denmark won in 1930 and conducted the tourney. Great Britain plays host this year.
The weekly rapid transit chess tournament was conducted in the Y. M. C. A. with W. H. Steckel winning first honors. B. Geary, a new comer in the tournament, showed up strong by taking second place. Every Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock similar tournaments will be held.

But its success for future affairs of this kind was assured when all the participants enthusiastically agreed to hold similar events. W. H. Steckel won this first event with W. Wallitsch second, and A. Weiss third. A Young, L. Buss and E. Kahler were also entered. Reuben Fine, Marshall Chess club champion, won the weekly rapid transit tourney of said club with the score of 5'i-s.
