The above cutting, from Al Ha'mishmar, May 10th, 1963, p. 8, mailed to us by a frequent correspondent, is about the students' chess tournament of 1963. The interesting point is that the winners are all future chess "greats" in Israel, the younger generation that replaced the "old guard" of Czerniak, Porat, Itzhak Aloni and others in the 1960s. These are Shimon Kagan, (1st place, 8.5/11 with no losses), Uri Avner, ex-IDF champion (8), who lost in the last round to Yoel Aloni (Holon's champion). Third place went to Amir Helman.
