Brilliant Chess Play By Russian Master
Despite the momentous happenings which culminated in the great revolution, Russians maintained more or less interest in the game of chess, interest in which has made such exceptional strides in Eastern Europe and brought forth so many Russian players into the front rank of the masters. While the revolution was in progress, according to reports to hand yesterday, A. A. Alekhine of Petrograd, the brilliant young expert who was leading in the Mannheim International tournament broken up by outbreak of the war and who later escaped after being interned, visited Odessa for the purpose of giving a series of exhibitions.
In simultaneous play there Alechine made a score of 17 wins, 2 drawn games and 1 loss. Subsequently, he played eight games while blindfolded, and of these he won seven and lost one.
