  GoldenKnight: See my comments on Charles Bagsby's page. He beat Alekhine at his peak?! Just after he became World Champion?! I wonder if this was a simul. Please post if you know.
Apr-29-14  RedShield: Yes, this was part of a 43-board simul at the Mechanics Institute in which Alekhine could only score +27 -8 =8.

Skinner & Verhoeven quote E.J. Clarke, editor of the <San Franisco Chronicle> chess column: <Was Dr Alekhine off his game or is it true, as rumoured, that we have an unusually strong group of chess players in San Francisco and the Bay cities.>

Note that Bagley, as part of a consultation team, had drawn with Alekhine the day before in a clock simul at the Institute:
