Isaac J. Kashdan. champion of the Manhattan Chess Club and one of America's strongest players, gave an interesting simultaneous exhibition in this city recently. Sydney T. Sharp, champion of the State, added to his laurels by defeating Kashdan in a well-played game which we publish this week.
We are advised that an interna tional tournament will be held this summer at Bern, Switzerland. Dr. Alekhlne has accepted an Invitation to play. The other olayers will probably include Bogoljubow, Bernstein, Dr. Euwe, Salo Flohr and Mir Sultan Khan.
In addition there will be several of the Swiss experts, Including Paul Johner, Hans Johner and three or four other players not so well known in this country. Isaac Kashdan, we understand, has declined an Invitation to take part, as it is his expectation to be In California at that time, where he will participate in the chess congress of that State. Jose R. Capablanca recently gave a simultanous exhibition at Havana, playing against 330 players, five to a board. The contest was staged May 14.
The simultaneous player won 46 games, drew 16 and lost 4. This surpasses the exhibition given by Dr. Alekhlne some little time ago, when he played against 300 players, but notwithstanding the lessor number his score was inferior to that of Capablanca.
