Grandmaster gives lesson in chessBy EUGENE CABLOGrandmaster WalterBrowne’s simultaneous exhibition last Sunday with the Ontario Chess Club was quite a lesson for those who attended.His 31 opponents ranged inability from an expert to a7-year-otd novice, and all played with the white pieces.Ail of them succumbed to his power in two hours and 45 minutes except Robert Chris-t i a n o , who accepted thegrandmaster’s offer of a draw.Because of the lack of players, Browne was not able to surpass the record for simultaneous chess held by Gideon Stahlberg, the Swedish master. The latter played 400 opponents at Buenos Aires in an exhibition which started at 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 29, 1941, and was concluded at 10 a.m. on Sunday. He wound up with the remarkable score of 364 wins, 14 draws, and 22 losses. Capablanca, the former world champion from Cuba, played 103 games simultaneously at Cleveland in 1922. His percentage of wins in this exhibition has never been approached before or since, by any other master. He won 102, drew 1, and lost none.Arthur Dake, a masterfrom Oregon, once took a 1,-500 mile trip to play Alekhine,the successor to Capablanca’s woild title, in a simultaneous exhibition. He lost in 13 seconds. Describing the game, the new defunct American Chess Bulletin says, “Shortly after play had started, all eyes were focused on Drake’s board, where the two were moving the pieces at less than one second per move. Dake lasted 13 seconds, when lie blew a piece and the game.”Jchn Skratulia, an expert from Victorville and presently a member of the U.S. Air Force, travelled 75 miles only to lose but only after a fierce resistance. Dane Hinrichsen of Cucamonga, one of the strongest players of the club, had a strong game but in the end had to resign because of two passed pawns.Chrisfano vs. Brown*White P-Q4 N-KB3 P K3 P-B 4 B-K2 N-B3 P X P 0-0 B-K3 N-K5 Q x B P-B5N x N (3)P-KB4QR-Cil P-B5 P-KR4 P-B6 R x B P x N Q-62 B-Q 4 Q-B4K-R2R-Q2P-R5P x PR-Q3P-K.N3K-NlK-B2B-K3AcceptedWhit®P-K4P-K64N-KB3 N-B3 B-N5 P-K5 0-0 K-Rl BxN P-Q3 P x P N-Q4 P x P R-B3 B-K3 N-N3 Q-KNl B x PB-Q4N x NR-B2P-OR3Q-KlQ-K3R-KNlR-Q2R-KB1R x PR-K2P-N4P-KR4R-R2P X B Q x RResignsBladeN-KB3P-B4P-KN3 B-N2 0-0 P x P P*Q4 N-B3 B-N5 B x B R-Bl N-Q 2P x NQ-B2QR-Q1Q-N2N X PB x PP x R KR-K1 Q-K2 P-B4 P-B K-N P-R3 Q-KB2 0 x P K-R2 Q-R4 ch R-K3 ch QR-K1 DrawOfferediBrown#BlackP-Q84N-OB3P-K3P-Q4N-B3 N-Q?
