A frequent correspondent sends us a note of Doar Ha'yom's column from the early 1920s. A specific point of interest is that, as we have noted before, the chess notation was from right to left, with the first Hebrew letter (aleph) donating the h-file, not the a-file, the second Hebrew letter (bet) the g-file, etc.
Naturally, this caused significant confusion!
