Dr. Alexander Alekhine, world champion, who recently engaged and annexed first prize in the master's tournament at Pasadena, has no reason to dread any ol the many able opponents with whom his active career has brought him into contact.
With very few exceptions he has conquered them all, some with more or less difficulty and others with consummate, ease. Nevertheless, the world champion seems to have a nemesis. It is one of the Swiss experts who is not exactly in his class, but gets there just the same. Prof. O. Naegeli of Berne, enjoyed the great good fortune of winning from the champion in a small, unofficial competition arranged during a visit of Dr. Alekhine to that city earlier In the year. Dr. Alekhine did not regard that tournament as very important and feels that the game in question should not be taken too seriously. Prof. Naegeli met his famous opponent again in the international tournament held during the last two weeks In July at Berne. It was in the thirteenth round and the world champion fn the lead, was well on the road to achieving highest honors which eventually came his way. This time Prof. Naegeli obtained a draw.
