Budapest this year. The reas on why Samuel Rcshevsky and Dr. Reuben ALEKH rNE
Fine will not compete for the right to play Mikhail Botvinnik for the
World Championship title is nei ther financial nOf a matter of indif·
ference - it is a political reason.
We have been advised by readers that politics has no place in
c hess, when we ventured to suggest that chess has no place in politics.
But our readers failed to suggest how thcy would keep politics out of
chess. Now we face a political situation wh ich cannot be ig nored in
which two of the principal contenders for the World Championship title
are barred from participation because the U. S. State Department is '
refusing travel visas for Hu ngary. FOf this rcason the U.S. table tennis
team was rccently unable to compete in a world championship held in
Budapest; fOf this reason neither Fine nor Reshevsky will be able to
avail themselves of their r ight to contest for the opportunity of meet-
ing the World Champion in a title·match.
The validit y of the Candidates Tournament and its prestige is, of
course, greatly impa ir'ed - the ri ght o[ the winner or the Candidaies
Toumament to meet Botvinnik in match play is one that w ill be subject

In the issue of May 20th, we misinformed our readers to the 811ck , I ",en
e{lcd that Leopold Waul or Vienna had won the ICCA Correspon.
dence Championship of the World . What we should have said was
that the ten finalists for the Correspo ndence World Championshi p
had been qualified, and that thcy were: Leopold Watzl (Austria), A.
Viaud (France), Olaf Barda (Norway), Th. D. van Seheltinga (Holland),
C~ J . S. Purdy (Australia), Antonio Cuadrado (Argentina), G. R. Mitchell
and Gabriel Wood (England), Dr. Edmund Adam (Germany), Piet v/ t
V eer (Holland), Dr. J . Balogh (Hungary), Dr. Mario Napolitano alaly),
Sverre Madsen (Norway), H. Malmgren (Sweden ), and Jack W. Collins
(New York).
This first serious error in reporting should do much to convince
those critics, who have variously accused us of a superiority complex,
that their fears are gro undless. We can and do make our mistakes;
but will always e ndeavor to hold t hem to that irreduciblc minimum.
