March 22, 1931. Chess Cable Match. London v. Philadelphia. Arriving at the Royal Automobile Club at 8:15, I found that about eighteen moves had been played on each side in the Anglo-American chess match for the Insull Trophy. This illusive Cup becomes the property of the city that wins three times against a Transatlantic rival. London beat Chicago in 1926, and New York in 1927, but could do no more than draw against Washington in 1928 and 1930. Philadelphia took the field against us yesterday, at 2 p.m. London time.
On Board 4, Buerger defended with the Sicilian; and on No. 6 Sergeant declined a King's Gambit offered by that voluminous analyst, Mlotkowski.
