Chess 29 Mar 1923, Thu Brooklyn Eagle (Brooklyn, New York) Newspapers.com
Bound for Carlsbad.
Oscar Chajes and Jacob Bernstein, who will represent this country in the forthcoming international congress at Carlsbad, will sail from here on board the 8.S. President Fillmore, Saturday morning. Judging from their recent performances, both are in excellent trim for the fray abroad, in which they will encounter, day in and day out period of three weeks, some of the finest chess experts of Europe, including Rubinstein, Alekhine, Dr. Tarrasch, Maroczy, Teichmann, Reti, Bogoljubow, and others of that class. It will be a grueling ordeal for them, but a wonderful experience.
Chajes only recently defeated Whitaker in Philadelphia by a straight score and Bernstein, three times winner of the N. Y. State championship, has been playing consistently for the Rice-Progressive Chess Club in the Metropolitan League matches. The voyage of 12 days should benefit both of them appreciably and upon their arrival in Europe they will doubtless be in proper condition to give a good account of themselves.
Typical Game by Brunnemer.
Brooklyn has suffered this season through a number of defections. The League team, therefore, is finding it pretty hard sledding against the big clubs and for that matter cannot afford to take chances with any of the others. Among those who have gone elsewhere is J. W. Brunnemer who lives in New Jersey and finds it more convenient to play occasionally for the Chess Club International. He conducted and won a typical game against J. Khotimlansky of the Rice-Progressive Chess Club, the score of which follows:
Played between J. W. Brunnemer, International C. C., and J. Khatemlansky, Rice-Progressive C. C., in the Metropolitan League match at the rooms of the latter, March 10, 1923.
