{Margate (1935) The chess club at Margate, a seaside resort in England, held
the first of five consecutive international tournaments in the spring of 1935.
Former world champion Jose Capablanca was invited to participate and he was
amicable considering his success at numerous British tournaments such as
Hastings. Samuel Reshevsky participated on behalf of the United States, and
Ernst Ludwig Klein traveled from Austria. The remaining seven seats in the
tournament went to the following chess masters from the United Kingdom:
William Albert Fairhurst, women's world champion Vera Menchik, Jacques Mieses,
Philip Stuart Milner-Barry, Brian Patrick Reilly, Edward G Sergeant, and
George Alan Thomas. The tournament proceeded in a surprising fashion, largely
due to the aggressive and often brilliant play of young Reshevsky.
Conventional wisdom had Capablanca as the sure bet going into the competition,
and he took an early lead following his win in the third round against 70 year
old Mieses. But the turning point came in the fourth round when Reshevsky (who
was only 23) defeated the former champion of the world in this game: Reshevsky
