BY PAUL J. MILLER. JR. LEYDEN chess fans witnessed Dr. Alexander Alekhin,' ex-world champion and probably the greatest of living grandmasters, defeat Dr. Max Euwe, world champion. In the eighth game of the current match .series for the world title. Of the two champions, Euwe is the younger and is the favorite with the Dutch gallery that follows the itinerant match schedule from one Netherland city to another. Possibly this latter factor will have great weight in determining the outcome of the title fray. Current scoring stands: Alekhin, 4; Euwe, 2, and 2 draws.
