CHESS Dr. Alekhlne has accepted the Invitation to take part ift the Masters' Tournament at Burne, July 16. At the end of March a small practice tournament was held at Burne, Dr. Alekhlne, Dr. O. Naegell, D. E. Voellmy and P. GygU taking part. The result was that Alekhlne, Naegell and Voellmy all tied with two points each, Alekhine losing to Naegell.
This is the first game that Alekhine has lost in a tournament for some time. The tournament, however, was only a practice tournament and probably the champion experimented in testing out an unsound variation. , The National Hungarian Championship Tournament held at Budapest recenly was won by G. Maroczy with a score of 13. E. Canal scored 12, A. Stciner 11, L. Btelner and A. Lllienthal tied with 104 points. Maroczy did not lose any games, but drew five, wining the balance.
The game now published was played in a recent tournament at Bad Ems. The game is of more than usual interest on account of White's fourth move for the attack. See note below. Falkbeer County Gambit 1 P-K4 1-P-K4 2 P-KB4 2-P-Q4 3 PxQP 3-P-K5 4 P-Q4ia) 4 Kt-KB3 5 P-P4 5 B-K2 6 Kt-K2 6 Castles 7 Kt-Kt.3 7 R-Ksq 8 B-K2 8 P-B3 9 PxP 9 KtxP 10 P-Q5 10 Kt-QKt5 U-Castlcs ll-B-B4ch 12 K-Rsq 12 Kt-Q6 13 BxKt 13 PxB 14 P-B5 14-P-QKt4 15 QxP 15 Kt-Ktt 16 Kt-K4 16 PxP 17 QxP 17 B-R3 18 QxQB 18 RxKt 19-B-B4 " 19 RxB 20 RxB 20 Q-R5 21 P-KR3 21-Q-Kt6 22 RxKt 22 Q-K8ch Resigns.
(a) The text books practically ignore this continuation for the attack, relying on 4 P-Q3, which is generally considered White's best reply. The text move of P-Q4 was analyzed some time ago by Tarta-kover, but unfortunately we have not the analysis In our library. t Problem No. 2871 is solved by P-Q3. Problem No. 2872 is solved by R-QKt8.

'til the world understands why Robert J. Fischer criticised the U.S./British and Russian military industry imperial alliance and their own Israeli Apartheid. Sarah Wilkinson explains:

Bobby Fischer, First Amendment, Freedom of Speech
What a sad story Fischer was,” typed a racist, pro-imperialist colonial troll who supports mega-corporation entities over human rights, police state policies & white supremacy.
To which I replied: “Really? I think he [Bob Fischer] stood up to the broken system of corruption and raised awareness! Whether on the Palestinian/Israel-British-U.S. Imperial Apartheid scam, the Bush wars of ‘7 countries in 5 years,’ illegally, unconstitutionally which constituted mass xenocide or his run in with police brutality in Pasadena, California-- right here in the U.S., police run rampant over the Constitution of the U.S., on oath they swore to uphold, but when Americans don't know the law, and the cops either don't know or worse, “don't care” -- then I think that's pretty darn “sad”. I think Mr. Fischer held out and fought the good fight, steadfast til the day he died, and may he Rest In Peace.
Educate yourself about U.S./State Laws --

After which the troll posted a string of profanities, confirming there was never any genuine sentiment of “compassion” for Mr. Fischer, rather an intent to inflict further defamatory remarks.

This ongoing work is a tribute to the life and accomplishments of Robert “Bobby” Fischer who passionately loved and studied chess history. May his life continue to inspire many other future generations of chess enthusiasts and kibitzers, alike.

The photograph of Bobby Fischer (above) from the March 02, 1956 The Tampa Times was discovered by Sharon Mooney (Bobby Fischer Newspaper Archive editor) on February 01, 2018 while gathering research materials for this ongoing newspaper archive project. Along with lost games now being translated into Algebraic notation and extractions from over two centuries of newspapers, it is but one of the many lost treasures to be found in the pages of old newspapers since our social media presence was first established November 11, 2017.
