February 19 1939

The Honolulu Advertiser, Honolulu, Hawaii, Sunday, February 19, 1939

Dr. A. A. Alekhine, world's chess champion who visited Honolulu in 1933, seems to be having his ups and downs. Beaten in 1935, he regained the championship in '36. Down again in '37 he regained it again in 1938 to lose it again last month to a school teacher.
Recently he said he hoped to attend both the New York and San Francisco world's fair and would like to visit the Islands for several months in the fall.
