Great minds battle over the chessboard

Steinitz vs. Lasker, Alekhine vs. Capablanca, Karpov vs. Kasparov? No!
In 1933, two of the greatest minds that ever lived sat down at a table and played a game of chess. In this battle of brain power, renowned physicist Albert Einstein defeated fellow scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer, who would go on to help create the world's first atomic bomb.

This Saturday, a re-creation of that match will be broadcast - and analyzed - at Chess Day, an all-day affair at [the] Princeton Public Library.
Read "Chess will be king for a day at Princeton Library" from The Princeton (NJ) Packet.
