Persitz Making an Impression

 



Source: Chess Review, December 1954, p. 356 and 370, respectively.

Mr. Halsegger also notes that in the same issue, the rising star of Israeli chess - Raafi Persitz - was making an impression in England. In particular, the article by Bruce Hayden reports, he managed to play two tournament games in one day... 75 miles apart. First he played in the Oxford University vs. Cambridge University match in London. Then he was in time to catch the train to Swindon in order to play in the Oxfordshire vs. Gloucestershire county match (playing against no other than C. H. O'D. Alexander.)
