First Published Postal Game in Palestine

Source: Chessgraphics 

On 22/10/1931 (p. 3), Marmorosh's Davar chess column announced, that, as a result of the interest in the Marmorosh - Kniazer match (+4 =2 -4), some of the games from which had been published in his column, a postal game between the two will be published, move by move, in the chess column. This was duly done, and the game was concluded on Feb. 11th, 1932 (Davar, p. 3). This is, to our knowledge, the first published postal game in Palestine.
