BY PAUL J. MILLER. Jr. SAMUEL RESHEVSKY, chess champion of the United States, and Reuben Pine, who both hail from New York City, are playing in the international masters' tournament that opened at Kemeri, Latvia on June 16. Reshevsky is seeking first-class competition as a preface to his participation in the F. I. D. E. international team tourney at Stockholm. Fine is at his best and his objective is the well-lined purse that is the reward of the victor.
Vitally interested in the stakes at issue are Dr. Alexander Alekhin, former world champion; Stahlberg, Book. Tartakower, Ozols, Flohr, Petrow, Keres, Feigin, Hasenfuss, Landau, Mikenas, Berg, Apscheneek, Rellstab and Steiner. It was at Nottingham a year ago that Reshevsky and Fine engaged in the same international fray to tie for third prize with Dr. Max Euwe, world champion, while J. R. Capablanca and Mikael Botvinnik shared top honors. It is our opinion that Reuben Fine Is America's greatest inthe-money star and that he is L'nele Sam’s No. 1 player, excepting none. In the tournaments at Kereri, Paris and Stockholm, youthful Reuben shall have a hundred chances to vindicate our faith.
