artificial legs, was an athlete before his misfor- tune but, not

only four draws, one loss thereafter. Littlewood loses a pawn through 
Khassinâ€™s superior (more up-to-date) opening play, and never gets on

two Littlewood brothers ex­tended over three days. Sur­prisingly in view 
of their reputations, its main interest consisted in its delicately played
end-game. White’s treatment of the opening is well-nigh perfect. 19... Nf4
concedes a pawn. Black feared 20 Rg3 followed by h4-h5. In the knight and 
pawn end­game after 35...Nxd8, Black’s 36...Ne6 and 37...Ng5 recover the 
pawn by force. White is able to lure the black a-pawn on to its eventual 
doom. The last 20 moves of the game are worth an article in themselves, 
the win being balanced on a knife-edge throughout. On move 68 White 
falters; on move 72 he picks up the thread again. Typical of the 
Littlewoods’ ideal temperament for chess: though Norman still thought he 
had a draw ten minutes before he resigned, he soon got over his 
disappointment and it was in the afternoon after the final session of this
game he cheerfully swindled Hindle (Rd. 4)." (CHESS)} 1-0
