Samuel Reshevsky resumed his stewardship of the Lessing J. Rosenwald trophy by winning the third Rosenwald tournament in New York. Reshevsky, after a first-round loss to Bisguier, took over and never again seemed in trouble; in the last 10 rounds he won 8 and drew 2. Bisguier, the runner-up, could not quite capitalize on his running start or, perhaps, he just couldn't keep up with Reshevsky's blistering pace.
Somewhat surprisingly, Arthur Feuerstein took third place. We expected Donald Byrne, who is perhaps the most talented of the U.S.C.F.'s young masters, to finish in the top three.
Bobby Fischer's score of 4½-6½ cannot be considered a failure but is, rather, a sort of triumph. Feuerstein was the only other non-master competing. The untitled players seemed not at all over-awed by the distinguished company.
There was one last-minute change in the lineup: senior master I. A. Horowitz withdrew and his place was taken by Eliot Hearst.
