He who had declared "Chess-it is too simple" -why had he been driven to a draw by Lasker and two others? Why had he finished third in the tourney ? At first the master made no explanation, but gradually-as the passport became more wearisome- the persistence of the press took its irritating effect and drew forth remarks.
