By PAUL J. MILLER, Jr., America's Authority on Social Chcaa. Challenger Alekhin Leads. THIRTY games of gruelling chess and the cloture will either see Dr. Max Euwe vindicated as the world chess champion or the reappearance of Dr. Alexander Alekhin on the universal stage as the pre-eminent titlist after a twoyear enforced “vacation.” Twelve of the match games have been completed, with the battleground shifting from one Netherlands city to another. After the thirteenth encounter the score stands: Alekhin, 5; Euwe, 2; drawn, 5; adjourned, 1. GAME NO. It SLAV DEFENSE. (Oncen'i Gambit.) Euwe. Alekhin. Resigns Displaying some of the aggressiveness that enabled him to defeat Alelthin for the world title two years ago.
Euwe in the thirteenth game, contested at Amsterdam, exchanged queens after the eighteenth move, castled on the king’s side of the chessboard and laid down a bristling attack. Alekhin, ill-content with being on the defensive, employed the Slav defense, placed his king in a belligerent position and, after the fortieth move, the game was adjourned, Champion Euwe sealing his move. Hostilities between the grandmasters have commanded world-wide interest as never before. Every game of the world match will be depicted in this column and the notation will be printed exactly as received. The proofs will be checked and double-checked (always I personally do this) and if there are unexplainable inconsistencies in the published games, remember that 11 am puzzled even as you and bear with me until I can receive personal letters restating the issue correctly.
