German-American, North City, South Jersey, West Philadelphia and Northeast. Two more chess organizations of Philadelphia or vicinity may enter later. The tournament will start in November. It is possible that a City Championship Tournament may be held in the spring. The following is the game where Alekhine and Kashdan met in the Mexico City tournament.
Prior to this game these experts had met four times, three games were drawn and Alekhine won one, score now standing: Alekhine, 1; 4 games drawn. The defense adopted by Kashdan is most interesting and is now rarely seen in first-class tournaments and matches. Accordtncr to our recnl- lectionsi however, Pillsbury In his early career adopted a form of the Kings Fianchetto Defense to the Ruy Lopez quite successfully, but CHESS AND 'BY WALTER did not follow up the defense in his latter game. The fact that Alekhine was unable to make any Impression against P-KKU adopted by Kashdan for his sixth move is a strong argument in favor of the masters experiment ing with this defense In some of their Important future contests.
