GIRL CHESS
She Made World Champion
Stop and Ponder
EXPERT
ALL great chess players started young on the road to
fame.
Bobbed-haired, dimple-checked, little Miss Elaine Saunders, of Twickenham, has the makings of a chess genius, and at the age of 12 she sat at the tables and faced the world's champion, Dr. Alekhine.
She met the Russian master at the Charing Cross Hotel, where he played a simultaneous game with a team of Kent experts.
Thirty players opposed the master, who passed lolsuroly from table to table tying up his opponents by unexpected moves. Although the girl did not mate him, she caused Dr. Alekhine to hesitate and to knit his brow.
