Alekhine-Vasquez
We picked a game from the Mexican Tournament as being rather a good example of the methodical manner peculiar to the world's champion. His plan early becomes evident, and is never deviated from. Comments on the play seem superfluous.

Brooklyn Eagle, Brooklyn, New York, Thursday, October 20, 1932
Success in the international masters tournament just concluded at Mexico City hinged upon the outcome of the encounter between Dr. Alexander Alekhine and Isaac Kashdan, in so far as chief honors were concerned. Inasmuch as it ended in a draw, the first two prizes were divided between them, which was quite in accordance with expectations.
None of the representatives of Mexico was able to win or draw against the noted visitors, whose international experience caused them to be placed in a class quite apart. Nevertheless there was an occasional long session which was sufficient to demonstrate the ability of several of the home representatives, when hard pushed, to hold the invaders at bay.
It was quite fitting that Capt. J. J. Araiza, national champion, should finish third. He was a participant in the recent California Congress and it was largely through his efforts that Dr. Alekhine and Kashdan received invitations to visit Mexico. Dr. J. A. Asiain, winner of fourth prize, showed himself to be a worthy opponent, and Capt. J. Vazquez, placed fifth, also made a brave showing.
