On August 14, 1932, Alexander Alekhine arrived on the eve of the Chess Congress Masters Tournament (part of the Los Angeles Congress) at the Maryland Hotel in Pasadena, following the 10th Modern Olympic Games at Los Angeles. Alekhine won the event (and $250) with a score of 8.5-2.5 (+7=3-1). Isaac Kashdan took 2nd with a score of 7.5-3.5. Next were Arthur Dake, Sammy Reshevsky, and Herman Steiner with 6.5. Next came Harry Borochow, California State champion, with the score of 5.5-5.5. He was followed by Fred Reinfeld, Jacob Bernstein, Reuben Fine, and Samuel Factor, all with 5-6. Jose Araiza came next with a score of 3.5-7.5. Last place went to Adolph Fink, San Francisco's strongest player, with a score of 3-8. It was agreed that the California player having the highest score in this event would be declared champion of California. Thus, Harry Borochow became California champion for the third straight year. This international tournament was promoted by Cecil B. DeMille. The tournament organizers also wanted to invite Capablanca, but Alekhine demanded an extra $2,000 appearance fee if Capablanca participated in the event. The money could not be raised (the whole budget for the tournament was $1,500), and Capablanca was not invited. Lavieve Mae Hines (1896-1997) won the Pasadena Congress Women's Chess tournament, which was held concurrently with the Pasadena 1932 International Chess Tournament.

Here Fischer and Larsen are preparing for they're legendary candidates semi final match and yes also this match ended 6-0 in Fischer's favor.
As usual Fischer won many games in the end-game as he was in better form and did not crack from pressure after the 5th hour of play.

This letter signals the starting point of the Oxford v Cambridge match ("Cambridge Chronicle and University Journal," February 25, 1871). After 136 matches held between 1873 and 2019, Cambridge leads with + 59 - 56 = 22.

It was a promising start in the #SpringChessClassic - Group A, as the first round ended with 4 decisive games and only one draw.
