1t was not a high-geared college

In CHESS CIRCLES
BY FRANK B. WALKER

LETTER has been received
~ from Isaac Kashdan, the

and Samuel Reshevsky are
planning to play a match OF 20
games for prize of 81 900. To raise
this fund 1t is proposed to play in a
number of different clubs and cities;
about half of the games in New York
The cost would be about $50 and ex-
penses for each game. They would
like to play at least one of the games
in washington. They want to get
the match started in October.
In his report on the Syracuse, N. Y,
tournament, Herman Helms says in
the Brooklyn Eagle: From wonder
child to grand master-that is the
story of Samuel Reshevsky The
latter title. although not precisely off,
cial, is unquestionably due to the
young man who as youngster, less

country and gave exhibitions of stimuli
taneous play which almost equaled
the performances of many 'of the
recognized experts" 1t was the third
tournament in succession in which
Reshevsky did not lose game. Akiba
Rubinstein, veteran chess master, once
told the little fellow that some day
he would be champion of the world.
