...masters most notably missing from the Hastings tournament were Dr. Alexandre Alekhine who was resting for the match in which he will defend his world's championship against Dr. Euwe this spring, and Germany's handsome, beefy Ewfimij Dimitriewitsch Bogoljubow. The gallery, watching the tables in the hush of the Hastings and St. Leonards Chess Club, were most interested in two equally famed players neither of whom did as well as might have been expected. José Raoul Capablanca, onetime champion of the world, lost two games and finished fourth, a point behind the winners. Fat, solemn Vera...

D. Bogoljubow, needs only two games out of the required series of 30 to keep the world chess championship. Said he: "Even the most confirmed opponent of the contention that the game is threatened with death through draws, could not have hoped for such a development." Play will be continued next week at Heidelberg...
Ewifimij Dimitriewitsch Bogoljubow, Russian, was educated for the priesthood, but at 19 expressed a preference for chess and other worldly pleasures. Large, thickset, handsome, he looks much more like the popular conception of an operatic tenor than of a chess player. Bogoljubow is best Russian player, although the Soviet government, disapproving of some capitalistically sponsored tournament which he entered, officially deprived him of his title, and at the same time equally officially gave him a pawn-and-move handicap against any other Russian player...
