Jan-15-12		jessicafischerqueen: http://www.olimpbase.org/1931/1931i... Yep it was <Alekhine>, Gold Medal on first board. 1. Alekhine, Alexander FRA 13½ 18 75.0 <Rubinstein> garnered the Gold Medal on first board a year earlier at the Hamburg Olympiad with a staggering 88%! Thanks <ughaibu> though for your post, I'm working off one source here (Skinner and Verhoeven's "Alexander Alekhine's Chess Games 1902-1946), which is reputable, but I doubt it is invincible>

Jan-15-12		ughaibu: Okay, thanks for the details.
