The Rosenwald tournament was made possible by a small unselfish band of chess connoisseurs-like Alexander Bisno, Jose Calderon, Maurice Kasper, and Lessing Rosenwald. They love chess as an intellectual pursuit, an exhilarator of spirit. They want to help the game. They want to help its players. The American Chess Foundation, organized by these gentlemen, is an institution dedicated to the promotion and advancement of American chess.
The Rosenwald Tournament is only the beginning!
The Lessing Rosenwald Trophy Tournament, an annual affair, will henceforth provide America's ranking Chess players with top-flight competition. Substantial credit for the emergence of this important event belongs to the author of this valuable book and to his equally talented colleague, Arthur Bisguire. They observed that before America could regain Chess supremacy, greater opportunities would have to be afforded her Master players to engage in Master competition. The Lessing Rosenwald Trophy Tournament is an eloquent answer to an inspired plea. - Jose Calderon

"On the chessboard lies and hypocrisy do not survive long. The creative combination lays bare the presumption of a lie; the merciless fact, culminating in a checkmate, contradicts the hypocrite. - Emanuel Lasker"
