Young Chess Marvel Bats a Thousand
Paris, March 16.—Twelve games of chess were played simultaneously last night by A. A. Alekhine, the young Russian chess marvel without looking at the board, the moves being called. He won eleven. The other resulted in a draw, Alechine will challenge Jose Capablanca of Havana, the worlds champion.
Capablanca sailed from New York yesterday to compete in the international tournament in London in July after playing exhibitions in France and Spain. It was announced that during his stay abroad efforts would be made to arrange a world's championship match with either Akita Rubenstein, champion of Poland, or Alechine, the Russian champion.

Alexander Alekhine
Alekhine was born in Moscow in the year 1892 acquired the title of master by winning 1st prize at the National tournament at the age of 16, which took place at St. Petersburg. A strong and most consistent player, his career has been most brilliant, the most likely contender for the championship crown—finishing second in the recent Masters' Tournament—and sharing with Capablanca, the distinct honor of being the only undefeated player. That this is no new experience for him is proven by his remarkable triple success in 1921 at Triberg, Budapest, and The Hague; winning 1st prize in each case, without losing a game. To enumerate his successes would be too lengthy. At Mannheim in 1914, he was leading with a score of 9½ out of 11 when the war suddenly brought this to a close therefore closing his career temporarily—below we publish his favorite win.
