The Russian chess master Alexander Alekhine came to New York City, New York, United States of America to play simultaneous chess matches with 200 opponents. in this photo he is about to make a move at table number 50. The photo was taken in the 1920s. Original photo from Scherl/Süddeutsche Zeitung Photo. Dr. Alekhine made a couple such trips to the United States. Hermann Helms reports in 1929 in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, New York, Thursday, March 14, 1929, page 32. Dr. Alexander Alekhine Off For Second American Tour; Opens at Manhattan Club “A passenger on the good ship Aquitania of the Cunard Line, which sailed from Southampton yesterday, Dr. Alexander Alekhine of Paris is crossing the ocean at greyhound speed. He is due to arrive in the Port of New York some time on Tuesday, barring heavy weather. Two days later, he will open his second American tour at the rooms of the Manhattan Chess Club. “There will doubtless be an exceptionally large outpouring of members to welcome the world champion, who has not been in this country since 1924. The entertainment will take the form of simultaneous play and it is expected that the main playing room of the club will be taxed to the utmost. “Dr. Alekhine's engagement by the Manhattan Chess Club also calls for a seance of blindfold chess, which probably will be against a team of 10 picked players, and two or three consultation games, to be conducted simultaneously. A rare treat is in store for the members and their friends.” https://www.topfoto.co.uk/asset/4407303/
