At that tender age, he says, " I was quite an e xp ert, playin,g easily bl indfolded." But h is father, f earful o f the strain on his young mind, forbade hi m to pursue a chess career. Born in Germany, Dr, Reichenbach fled to Russia "to escape H itler's underlings." Then he came to America, and he says " I am glad to be in U.S.A. nOw and forever. After having traveled through almost all parts of t he world, I feel her e like in Paradise." Dr. Reiche nbach entered CHESS REVIEW Postal Tourname nts In April, 1941. " I enjoy correspondence chess immensely. It gives me t he only opportunity I have for playing the game any more." Additional e xcerpts from Dr. Reichenbach's ve ry interesting letter I about his chess experiences are given in the Letters department.
