Description:
"The 1931 volume has coverage of Hastings 1930/31, where Capablanca lost to Sultan Khan and had to be content with second place behind Max Euwe. Euwe is criticised by HT Bland for a agreeing a 176-move draw with Sir George Thomas in the last round, thereby securing outright victory: ""There is far too much of that sort of thing nowadays, those draws where neither try to win if a draw will suffice. It is not fair to the other competitors."" The July/August edition proudly reported the USA's first place in the International Team Tournament in Prague, to which HT Bland appends a celebratory poem.208 pages."
