Langerbein best of chess field

Dr. Helmut Langerbein ponders his next move in today's speed chess match.

Mr. Kumar Kranthi, visiting chessmaster from India, declared Langerbein as the best of his opponents today.

Langerbein lamented that Kranthi had stymied one of his early moves by a bishop and that the rest of the match revolved around that move. Langerbein said he could never regain the advantage.

Five other players competed but none were able to best Kranthi.
