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.
