Reshevsky, Kashdan and Fine,
A Great Chess Triumvirate

LISA JOANNA FEINSTEIN

Chess has always been a game
to intrigue and fascinate the Jew-
ish mind. In the days of old Eu-
rope, when. the Jews lived in semi-
exile, they excelled at the game,
but not on a national basis. Who
knows but what great chess
minds remained shrouded in the
veil of the Ghetto in Poland and
in Russia before the first war?
It remained for Mikhail Botwin.
nik of Russia, the anti-Semitic
Alexander Alekhine, now dead;
Dr. Max Evwe of Holland and
Jose Capablanca of Cuba to domi-
nate the international scene in
this fascinating and intricate
game.
In recent years, however, a new
generation of champions has aris-
en, a. Jewish generation that has
won honors not only on these
shores, but overseas as well.
Three of them in particular are
outstanding — Samuel Reshevsky,
Isaac Kashdan and Reuben Fine.
Each has a story filled with dra-
ma, filled with suspense and 'brim-
ming with achievement.
Of the trio, Reshevsky is the
best known, partly because of his
career as a child prodigy. Now 35
years of age, this great player
came to this country in 1921 from
Poland at the age of 10. Even at
that age he had acquired a repu-
tation which was augmented by
exhibitions he gave in countries
outside of Poland. He made his
American debut in 1921 at West
Point, when he single-handedly
tackled a team of 20 players and
he lived up every bit to his name,
conquering all ten without losing
a game.
But Reshevsky's sponsors did
not seek to capitalize on his amaz-
ing ability. It was more important
to them that he should grow up
as a normal youth and so he was
sent to high school and to the
University of Chicago, temporarily
retired. When he returned to the
game he swept all opposition be-
fore him, capturing the Western
championship, the New York
State Chess Association honors
and two tournaments in England,
in one of which he overcame Ca-
pablanca, a former world's cham-
pion. It was relatively easy for
him to sweep the American title
in 1936 and he has been virtually
unchallenged since.
In his early years, Reshevsky's
mental greatness was not limited
to chess. He could solve the most
Intricate problems of the Talmud,
often astonishing Jewish scholars
In so doing.
Reshevsky's fame was not lim-
ited to his American conquests.
When he returned to Europe for
the first time he had the satisfac-
tion of winning the Masters' tour-
nament at Margate, England, de-
feating Capablanca among others.
He then annexed the British
Chess Federation laurels and was
judged on the basis of these tri-
umphs one of the leading players
In the world. In more recent
years he has been playing spora-
dically but when he engages a ri-
val at the boards his skill re-
mains almost insurmountable.
Closely associated with Reshev-
sky because of his consummate
strategy and success internation-
ally is Isaac Kashdan. At the age
of 41 he is a past master at the
board, for he has won his spurs

at international events many

years ago. In fact, he forced Re-
shevsky to share the U.S. cham-
pionship with him for eight
months before the Brooklyn mas-
ter defeated his rival from Flat-
bush in 1943 to regain sole pos-
session of the bauble. Back in
1928 Kashdan starred at the In-
ternational Chess Federation at
the Hague and was the ace of the
U. S. team that placed second in
the Olympic competition. He was
awarded a special medal for mak-
ing the best individual score of
any of the many players repre-
senting the 17 countries in the
field. This honor he augmented a
few years later when he emerged
the victor in the race for Inter-
national Gonfalons.
Perhaps the brightest feather in
Kashdan's crown is his sensa-
tional engagement in 1933, when
he emulated the most famous of
all chessmen by playing against
400 opponents across 100 boards.
Four rivals were pitted against
him on each board. It was a se-
vere test of his ability to concen-
trate and his rapidity in thinking
in dealing with new situations as
they came, remembering at the
same time what had transpassed,
was little short of stupefying. But
Kashdan was up to it and ac-
quitted himself most nobly.
The third of this towering tri-
umvirate is Reuben Fine. The
youngest of the three, he was born
in New York in 1914 and like-
wise gained both American and
International distinction. Like
Kashdan he once toppled the
mighty Reshevsky winning the
U. S. rapid-transit honors in a
"lightning" competition. With Re-
shevsky he was invited to go to
England to compete against other
greats and he lost only two games
out of a dozen.
In 1943 he visited Guatemala
and engaged in 204 games. He
won 180 of these, drew in 20 and
lost only four. Two other perfor-
mances were at "blindfold" chess.
That is he did not see either the
board or the pieces. In neither
case did he lose a game. In the
first he won nine games and
drew one; in the second he won
eight and drew two. When he
won the U. S. Open tournament in
1940 his closest rival was a West
Coast Jewish star, Herman Stei-
ner of Los Angeles. On another
occasion he was likewise trailed
by another up-and-coming Jewish
player, Herbert Seidman, in the
annual Marshall Chess Club title
play.
Just as Fine is a product of
the City College of New York so
is Seidman a graduate of a mu-
nicipally supported school, Brook-
lyn College, which first saw him
rise to great achievements. Seid-
man rates mention among the
satellites of the mighty triumvi-
rate by virtue of his promise. At
the height of his career he was
drafted into the Army but with-
al nevertheless found time to en-
gage in competition. He is 'parti-
cularly adept at "rapid transit"
games. This refers to the rule
which compels every competitor
to make a move within ten sec-
onds instead of being at liberty
to proceed with the game at his
own pace.
Mention should also be made of
other Jewish players who would
have been more outstanding were
it not for the presence of the
dominating triumvirate. In addi-
tion to Steiner and Seidman

The Rabbinical Council
of America Faces 5707

The Rabbinical Council of Amer.
ica is the organization of rabbis
in the United States and Cana?
which represents orthodox Jul
ism and the modern approach.
Members are mostly American •
born, and practically all univer.
sity graduates. Yet all of them
have had the traditional rabbinic
training with its emphasis on
Talmud and rabbinic law that
was characteristic of the Yeshi-
vos in the old country.

They are for the most part
graduates of the Rabbi Isaac El-
chanan Seminary, of New York,
and the Hebrew Theological Col.
lege, of Chicago.
The member of the council of
America is unique in American
Jewish life in that he practices
his "Rabbonus" in two distinct
fields.
He is, first, a rabbi in the tra-
ditional sense. He must be thor-
oughly versed in rabbinic lore,
setting aside time for study of
the Talmud and its come' r:aries
and participating in all phases of
study. Kashrus supervision is his
special field.

HE STUDIES TORAH

He generally has a Talmud To.
rah and eagerly devotes Himself
to its welfare. In addition there I
are the daily services, the Talmud
classes, the d'rashes for the older
generation, the charitable work
with "meshulachim" and all the
details that are part of traditional
Rabbonus. It is a full time task,
exhausting in its demands, this
traditional Rabbonus.
The council comprises a mem.
bership of 350. Many of the mem-
bers occupy pulpits in small com-
munities especially in the South
and West.
In these communities, it is the
rabbi who practicrilly single-
handed maintains loyalty to Jew-
ish values and the integrity of
the Jewish community.
Though its members are scat-
tered all over the country, it
maintains offices in New York,
since New York contains the
greatest settlement of Jews.

HELPED WAR EFFORT

In these past years the council
has been occupied with the war
effort. Through its representation
on the CANRA, committee on
Army and Navy Religious Activi-
ties of the JWB.
Through its Committee on Pal-
estine, the Rabbinical Council
will seek to bring the power of
religious affirmation to the Pal-
estine problem.
It is pledged to full cooperation
and support for the Yeshiva Uni-
versity and to the Hebrew Theo-
logical College, of Chicago.
Within the professional rabbinic
field, it hopes to establish a pen-
sion plan this year and to achieve
progress in working towards ten-
ure of office and the dignity of
the rabbinate.

these worthy lesser lights include
Isaac Horowitz, Milton Rubin-
stein, Louis Levy, A. Levy, Charles
Rubel, Albert S. Pinkus, Abe Ya-
nofsky (the champion of Canada ),
Julius Patros, Benjamin Altman.
Irving Rivise, Bernard Wolk, Har-
old Sussman, Alexander Kevitz,
George Kramer, Max PaveY,
Abraham Kupchick, Sidney Bel'
stein, Oscar Shapiro, Dr. Get ?

It was no accident, then, that
when it came to selecting a team
to represent the United States in
a match with Russia in Moscow
In September that ReshevskY.
Kashdan and Fine were named In
the first breath. Likewise selected
were Pinkus, Steiner, Horowitz
and Kevitz and Bernstein was
chosen as an alternate. Accord-
ingly. Jews predominate on the
squad carrying the American col-
ors against the famed Soviet
