Our friend, the Anonymus, the Ignotus, had defeated the strongest chess player on earth in open combat!The amazement is great when the inconspicuous Dr. B., Austrian emigrant on a passenger steamer from New York to Buenos Aires, rather coincidentally competes against the reigning world chess champion Mirko Czentovic and defeats his mechanically experienced opponent with playful ease.
