International Chess Festival 06 Feb 1932, Sat Cheltenham Chronicle and Gloucestershire Graphic (Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England) Newspapers.com
The first “Chess Festival” promoted and financed by a newspaper was opened at the Central Hall, Westminster, on Monday, and continued there all week. The second half will be conducted at the “Empire Social Chess Club,” at Whiteley's Stores, Bayswater, W., from Monday next to Saturday, when the prizes will be presented. The Congress is the only event of its kind and magnitude held in London since 1922. As we have previously mentioned it is provided by the “Sunday Referee,” and it is managed by Mr. W. Hatton-Ward, that journal's chess editor. There are no entry fees, and admission to see the play is free, by ticket, to be obtained from Mr. Hatton-Ward, “Sunday Referee,” 17 Tudor-street, London, E.C.4. But probably any player can easily gain admission next week at Whiteley's.
The chief tourney is the International Masters', with twelve competitors—Dr. Alekhine, Dr. Tartakower (Poland), Geza Maroczy (Hungary), Koltanowski (Belgium), I. Kashdan (U.S.A.), Salo Flohr (Czechoslovakia), Mir Sultan Khan, W. Winter, V. Buerger, and P. S. Milner Barry—who not many years ago was of Cheltenham College and at that time won the British Boys' championship.
Dr. Alekhine had a great reception when he appeared at the Empire Social Chess Club on Friday of last week and engaged in simultaneous play against twenty-four strong London opponents. He won all but two games, which were drawn by Dr. F. Duncan and Mr. A. Streeter. Another end encounter was fixed for to-day (Sat.) at 7 p.m. at the Central Hall, Westminster.
One of the prize tourneys is for women, and the entries include the strongest in this country except Miss V. Menchik. Her sister, Olga, is one. Both were playing in Cheltenham a few years since. There is considerable difference in chess strength.
The prizes.—These are, in the “Masters' Tourney”: 1st £50, 2nd £30, 3rd £20, 4th £10. In the “Premier Reserve”: 1st £10, 2nd £5, 3rd £3, 4th £2. And the same in women's tourney. Some anonymous chess patron gives £10 for the most brilliant or “best recovery game” played during the Festival.
