place finish at the chess Olympics
in Lucerne, Switzerland, last
vember was complemented by achieve-
ments off the board. The Olympics is also
the occasion of the annual meeting of the
World Chess Federation (FIDE), where
USCF's delegation was as successful as our
'hess-playin'g
counterparts.
The United States regained lost influence
in FIDE when Don Schultz was elected to
the Executive Council, FIDE's equivalent of
the USCF Policy Board. It has been many
years since an American has served on the
Council, and Don's e!~on is a tribute to
'oth his hard work and his popularity in
'f
FIDE.
Don had campaigned vigorously for the
post of Deputy Vice-President for -the
Americas, but he finished just behind the
candidate from Venezuela, Dr. Kafael
Tudela, who was one of the chief supporters
new president Florencio Campomanes.
(After two ballots, Don and Kafael were the
only two candidates. Paul Klein of Ecuador
had lost on the first ballot, and Carlos En-
cinas Ferrer withdrew aEter the second
ballot). On Tudela's nomination, Don wa
easily elected to the Council, receiving the
second-highest number of votes among the
many candidates for the seven at-large seats.
We thus achieved what the Policy Board
had instructed, because both at-large
members and the deputy presidents have a
vote on the Executive Council.
We continued our policy of close coopera-
tion with the Soviets in chess matters. Don
was elected co-chairman, along with Soviet
Chess I',ederation President Vitale Sevas-
tianov, of the Permanent Comnmsion of
UNESCO Delegates. Both men were in-"
strumental in upgrading FIDE's status in
UI'DISCO &om level C to B, allowing finan-
cial aid from UNESCO to chess-developing
countries. Don, along with Arnold Denker,
and Bill Church, was also elected to the
FIDE Commission for Assistance to Chess
Developing Countries.
The major concern in a FIDE election
year is the race for president. The three can-
didates were Florencio Campomanes of the
Philippines, Bozidar Kazic of Yugoslavia&

Kazic, a world-renowned FIDE arbiter and
author of the definitive Chess Competitor's
Handbook, was a late candidate, and he was
elia~ated on the first ballot. As expected,
the race came down to a contest between
Grandm Mer Olafsson and Campomanes.
Campo, as he is invariably called, won
65-43, with 108 of FIDE's 119 member
countries voting in person or by proxy. His
victory was expected; he had campaigned
energetically for the six months preceding

the election; The president is the key figure
in FIDE, and this is the first time in FIDE's
58-year history that a non-European has
been elected.
What Does the Future Hold?
I am very optimistic. FIDE wiJ change,
but that is a natural outcome of growth.
FIDE's growth has been planned and fos-
tered by the previous two presidents, Olaf-
sson and the late Max Euwe. A new general
secretary, Professor Lim Kok Ann of
Singapore, will take over &om Ineke Bakker
in March. And FIDE's headquarters will
move &om Amsterdam. But a fine commit-
tee, consisting of Lim and newly elected
FIDE Treasurer Koy Clues of Wales, will
oversee the transition.
Where will the office relocate? I venture a
prediction. The pundits in Lucerne agreed
that the probable new location would be
Vienna. While I defer to their experience, let
me suggest another possibility. A Filipino,
Campo is sensitive to the confluence of
cultures while remairiing proud of the in-
tegrity of his own country's heritage. A con-
summate politician and political strategist,
Campo may choose Madrid for the new
headquarters, with an auxiliary office in
Asia. Lanated in a European country,
Madrid would reinforce the continuity of
the European tradition in FIDE. But Spain
also stands at the crossroads of three other
continents, with which it has strong histor-
ical links: Africa, and North and South
America. So it is a logical choice.
Whatever decision is made, I think we
can be confident about FIDE's future, and
about the new influential position of the
USCF within FIDE. Campo, while very
much his own man, attended Brown and
Georgetown universities here in't'ie early
1950s. He has devoted most of his life to
chess. After a bitter campaign, Campo
worked hard to heal wounds. At the end of
the General Assembly meetings, upon as-
suming the chair, his first act as the new
FIDE president was characteristically mag-
nanimous. He said it was a pleasure, a
privilege, and an honor for him to recom-
mend to the General Assembly that in rec-
ognition of his excellent work, Fridrik
Olafsson be included in the roll as honorary
president of FIDE, and Ineke Bal&er as hon-
orary member. The Assembly agreed by ac-
clamation.
Don Schultz's success, in FIDE — our
success — is due not only to his own
merits, but also to the USCF team there
'orking
on his behalf. It included, in no
particular order, Arpad Elo, John Gavora,
Diane Smith, George and Evelyn Cunn-
ingham, Teresa Schultz, Arnold Denker,
Carol Jarecki, Ruth Cardoso, Bill Church
and me. It has been years since the U.S.
delegation has worked so well together,
and the results speak for themselves.
Other results &om the FIDE meeting
bear mentioning. George Koltanowski was
named honorary member of FIDE in rec-

 a good player according to the story
because...
~ .. whenher husband, White, found
himself in this apparently hopeless posi-
tion, she spoke up. "Sacrifice your two
Rooks, but don't sacrifice me," she ex-
claimed.
It's stories like this that gave kibitzing a
bad name, but it also gave her husband an
inspiration. Under the old rules, 1. N-R6ch
K-Bl 2. P-N7ch K-Kl 3. P-NS(Q isn't a
check. And 3. R-K4ch K-Q2! is legal.
When her husband found
himself in this apparently
h opeless postbon,
she spoke up.
"Sacrifice your two Rooks,
but don't sacrifice me,"
she exclaimed.
With Lady Di's clue, a good modern
player should be able to find the mate in six
moves. By Shatranj standards, it was a
spectacular problem because Rooks were
so valuable in those days, and White gives
up both of the'm. (Solution on page 39.)
Like I said, a good modern player should
find it, because a good chessplayer should
also be a good shatranjist. It's the same
with any offshoot. In more recent times,
the 1750s, Andre Philidor was the best
chessplayer in the world. He was regularly
asked to play in different groups, and one
of them, at the French Ambassador's house
in London, favored a game with a board of
fourteen squares by fourteen. There were a
whole bunch of odd pieces, a lot more ter-
rain — and also several acknowledged
masters of the game.
And yet, within a matter of weeks Phili-
dor was giving them all Knight odds at the
"new" chess.
I suspect that if suddenly tomorrow our
modern game were to disappear, we could
all take up Shatranj without any loss of
relative rating — but without much joy. 4

r i he U.S. team captured
the bronze medal at the
1982 chess Olympics in Lu-
cerne, Switzerland. In all, 732
chessplayers from 92 countries
— including 73 grandmasters-
took part in the team event held
October 30 to November 16.
The Soviet Union placed first
with an impressive 42'/z points
to second-place Czechoslo-
vakia's 36 — the largest win-
ning margin since the 1974
,.
Olympics at Nice.
The Soviet Union has won all
but two official Olympics since
1952 (it did not participate in
the 1976 Olympics at Haifa),
but the Soviet team has had its
problems . in recent years.
Hungary won in 1978 at
Buenos Aires, and the Soviets
barely returned to the top spot
in-1980 at Malta, winning on
tiebreak over Hungary.
In all, it was a sterling perfor-
mance by the Soviets, who
fielded the awesome duo of
World Champion Anatoly Kar-
pov on first board and Gary
Kasparov on second.
The U.S. team of grand-
masters Walter Browne, Yasser
Seirawan, Lev Alburt, and
-
Lubomir Kavalek, with James
Tarjan and Larry Christiansen
on reserve boards, finished one-
half point behind Czechoslo-
vakia.,
Yugoslavia was fourth with
35, and Hungary and Bulgaria
tied for fifth with 33'/z.
In a field of forty-five
women's teams, the United
States tied for seventeenth
through twenty-second, scoring
22 points. The Soviet team led
the way with 33 points, fol-
4'0
lowed by Romania with 30,
Hungary with 26,-and Poland
with 25'/z. China made a sur-
prising and strong finish, tying
with West Germany for fifth
with 24'/2 points.

"or i..~e '83
.S. t3 &en
BY JERRY HANKEN
f you have a sharp eye, you
.. may have noticed this listing
on page 48 of the January Chess
Life under National Events:
"U.S. Open 1983: August 8-20,
Pasadena/Los Angeles." Note
that item! It is the first mention
of an historic event that you can
be part of!
Pasadena, California, is a
thriving city of over 100,000
that is virtually surrounded by
Los Angeles. Widely known as
the home of the Rose Bowl, the
Rose'Parade and the famous Jet
Propulsion Laboratories,
Pasadena has many other
charms, such as the Norton
Simon Museum and the well-
known Huntington Library — a
mansion-turned-museum.
For a true family vacation in
conjunction with a magnificent
chess tournament, Southern
California is the place to go.
Disneyland, Knot ts Berry
Farm, Magic Mountain, Uni-
versal Studios, the mountains,
the beaches, and all of the other
wonderful attractions of this
area will be at your disposal.
Many daily tours are planned
for the two weeks of the Open.
The really good news about
this U.S. Open is the hotel. The
Huntington Sheraton — a
Remember: The HuntingtoJi Sheraton in Pasadena,
August 8-20. See you there!
71
Southern California landmark
— is both beautiful and elegant.
The Rose Bowl teams stay
there, and the Olympic-sized
swimming pool is so beautiful
that it is often used as a
background for Hollywood
commercials.
And the rates? Would you be-
lieve $ 38 for a single or double
room? I hardly believe it
myself, but it's true.
As for the chess, it will be
memorable. The doubling of
the prize fund to $ 20,000
assures the participation of
many very strong players. At
least five strong grandmasters
are expected to play.
Also under way are negotia-
tions to hold a truly prestigious
international event such as a
candidates'atch in conjunc-
tion with this Open.
Daytime tournaments and
exhibitions, as well as the U.S.
Speed Championship, will
make these two weeks into a
veritable chess festival. The
large California drawing area
makes it quite likely that the
Chicago 1973 record of 763
players in a U.S. Open will be
shattered.
Start plainiing your summer
vacation now. Come to the U.S.
Open in Southern California
and become a part of chess
history!
And, if you'e really making
long-range plans, don't forget
the U.S. Open in 1984 in Ft.
Worth, Texas.

McGogney, you see, has a
special chess set that fascinates
and intrigues anyone sitting
across the board from him at his
home in Jefferson Borough,
about ten miles south of Pitts-
burgh, Pennsylvania.
Each of the thirty-two pieces
are handmade, and a story lies
in the significance and origin of
each one.

said it all began in 1965. "I went

his work:
The other three Rooks also

iseum, fashioned from a rock
quarried by slaves to make that
ancient structure. "This piece
represents wealth by decree,"
he said.

from the bottom of Pearl Har-
bor. The tip was made from a
piece of fused quartz formed by
the explosion of the first atomic
bomb in New Mexico in 1945.
~ A sinking Spanish
galleon,
from a tunnel built under the
English channel. Wooden oars
on the ship came from Spain.
"The sinlung of the armada in
the Channel had a tremendous
impact on history," McGogney
said.

It was then, McGogney said,

piece representing an influence

n our first installment we described
the Chess Eye-Q as a Grand Prix for
,. everyone. Ten months and thousands
of entries later, it appears that was case:
our file folders bulged as 391 people
entered at one time or another. And the
competition was fierce. The two top point-
getters were just three points away from a
perfect score!
But slow and steady might well have
won the race. Simply being quick enough
to be a 2-pt. winner m every contest would
have given you 16 pts. — enough for one of
the grand prizes.
But, on to the winners:
Mattel Computer Chess games go to
John Braley, Seattle, Washington; Gary T.
Robinson, Norfolk, Virginia (both with 21
pts.); Wesley Koehler, Tescott, Kansas;
Clive Morgan, Winston-Salem, North
Carolina (both with 19); and Harold
Kjallberg, Richfield, Minnesota (18 pts.).
Tied with Kjallberg with 18 pts. was
David Eklund of Westboro, Massachu-
setts. Kjallberg won the tiebreaking draw
of lots, so Eklund receives our second
grand prize, a Kaisha chess clock.
A one year's subscription to the Players
Chess News goes to Richard Collins,
Holden, Massachusetts (17 pts.); Richard
Mahon, Brooklyn, New York (16); An-
thony Bruni, Spring, Texas; and Jim McIn-
tyre of Ponca, Nebraska.
Consolation prizes of a chess book went
to our other top point-getters. With 14 pts.:
Ronald Camara, Fortaleza, Brazil; Lewis
Neidle, Stamford, Connecticut. 13 pts.:
Charles Bouzoukis, Wilmington, Dela-

Jack of All Trades
For anyone who's been involved in chess
for the last forty years, coming up with an
answer to our special "hidden" quiz in
Eye-Q ¹7 ("Who is Jack Battell") should
have been a snap. After all, there are
dozens of correct answers. Here are some
excerpts:
"In addition to authoring Eye-Q ¹7, Jack
was for years the composer of ten prob-
lems a month in Chess Review." —'onald
Gravatt, Buena Vista, California.
"Jack Straley Battell is, of course, the
wonderful old gentleman who used to
head Chess Review's and then USCF's
postal department. It was his job every
month to tabulate and publish the results
of postal tournaments — but, most impor-
tant, to never say 'won from'r 'lost to.'e
always came up with a new word from
what seemed an endless supply." — Jim
Marfia, Grand Rapids, Michigan.
"We members of the Correspondence
Chess League of America know Jack both
for his entertaining column in The Chess
'jNI "41-
-
.
Correspondent and as a first-rate postal
player of long standing." — Charles
Bouzoukis, Wilrzungton, Delaware.
In his days as executive editor of Chess
Review, "Jack wrote many outstanding
stories and articles dealing with a wide
range of chess subjects, including a little
known masterpiece in collaboration with
Kenneth Harkness, titled "This Made
Chess History." This nine-part serial
helped to clarify the various accounts of
the Automaton, otherwise known as The
Turk." — Alan Benson, Berkeley, Califor-
nia.
"Jack is an old codger like myself who
forty years ago was a New York master."
John Rehr, Cartisle, Pennsylvania.
Although Jack is often best known
nowadays for his contributions to postal
chess, he deserves greater recognition as
one of the nation's premier chess jour-
nalists. jack started back in October 1943
with Chess Review, one of Chess Life'
predecessors. In addition to his duties as
postal director, he wrote extensively for
the magazine.
Jack soon worked his way up to associate
editor in February 1947 and executive
editor in September 1948. While CR Editor
I.A. Horowitz was busy with the business
end of the magazine, Jack guided the
famous journal through its heyday, right
up to time it was sold to the USCF in 1969.
In November of 1969, when CR and CL
became Chess Li fe & Review, Jack signed on
as associate editor. He moved to
Newburgh, then the site of USCF's offices,
to became director of USCF's postal

 department, a position he held until he
retired in 1978.
Jack, who now admits to being around
mumblety-mumble years old, still writes a
regular chess column and continues as
Newburgh Chess Club's foremost chess
volunteer.
Among those with a right answer to this
"quiz" was Daniel Cillis of Klamath Falls,
Oregon, who won the drawing for the 1982

Jesus Christ walking across the Sea of

cream-colored rock was taken from the
bottom of that body of water. The figure
stands on a piece of glass, which represents
the water, he added.
Despite his success with the tedious
process of acquiring the materials he need-
ed, McGogney says one thing is still miss-
ing. "I'd love to somehow receive a few
one of the Queen's crowns," he sighed.
"That would make my set complete."
What value does he place on his chess
set? "It's priceless. How could some of
these pieces ever be replaced after it took
me so long to acquire many of them?"
McGogney says that while he may have
the "world's greatest chess set," he also
isn't a bad chessplayer. "I never lost a tour-
nament, but then again, I never entered

Why You Lose at Chess by Tim
Harding; Batsford (North Pomfret,
VT 05053) 1982; 120 pages, no in-
dex, algebraic notation; paperback
lists for $ 14.15.
BY LESLIE BRAUN
osing in chess is as inev-
.u itable as death. But know-
ing why you lose is vital if you
want to move up the chess lad-
der.
Tim Harding's latest book
provides a unique panorama of
the ultimate tragedy over the
chessboard, with instructive ex-
amples gleaned from the open-
ing, middle- and endgame. To
make you feel at home, the
humble author probes his own
mind in presenting two of his
own losses!
One theme dominates: the
more you are aware of the fac-
tors that lead to defeat, the bet-
ter equipped you'l be to avoid
these pitfalls.
The book is well organized,
contains many ironic situations
that will amuse you, and should
benefit all those who are tired of
losing (that is, everyone).
Subjectively, two of the
book's observations make an
impact:
First, there is this quote from
Richard Reti: "The opening is
the hardest phase of the game,
because it is very hard then to
know what is going on." How
true! And, I might add, the
bizarre moves earn the "!"
while the seemingly logical
4'5
ones are zapped with a "?" (ask
anyone who plays the Najdorf
Sicilian).
Second, masters will often be
in trouble around moves 15
through 30 against good
amateurs who know their
openings. But the masters win
most of these games anyway
because of their superior end-
game ability.
This noble effort is marred by
typos. And because British
publication costs are high, the
levy on this work is about $ 14.
If you can afford the tariff, you
will receive your money'
worth.

BY BARRY SPIRO
i he Players Chess News,
a newspaper published
twice monthly, is the most en-
couraging development in
American chess publishing in a
long time. The Players organi-
zation, located in Los Angeles,
began expanding its activities
after it became clear that PCN
would be a substantial success.
One of its latest projects is a
series of small, plainly pro-
duced booklets, each contain-
ing 100 recent games with a
particular opening. So far, there
are five booklets, covering the
Sicilian, French, English, Ruy
Lopez, and Caro-Kann.
The idea for this series is a
good one, but the publisher has
barely developed it beyond the
drawing board stage. As far as I
can tell, the games and notes
were copied verbatim from
back issues with no re-editing
or added comments.
Looking through the first
twenty pages of the Lopez
volume, I counted thirty-five
unannotated games to only five
annotated. The Caro-Kann has
a reprint of Jeremy Silman's ex-
cellent article "The Contem-
porary Caro-Kann," but the
other volumes have no theo-
retical articles at all.
The Sicilian contains an index
of players, but for some unex-
plained reason, there are no in-
dexes in the other volumes. I
was mildly shocked to find that
page 21 of the Sicilian has a
game that is interrupted in the
middle of the page with the in-
struction, "Please turn to page
48 for the continuation of the
game"! (I love the polite
"Please" !) This is standard in a
newspaper format but inexcus-
able in a book or pamphlet.
Coverage of specific opening
variations is only sketchy. The
popular and crucial Pelikan
Sicilian is given only three
games, none of them by grand-
masters, and one taken from a
European girls championship
(mentioned in PCN but not in
the booklet).
What is the value of this
series? Non-PCN subscribers
and active tournament players
may find these brief booklets
useful for keeping informed of
recent games and theoretical
developments. I only wish the
editors had done more than
copy their own material.

Play the King's Gambit by Yakov
Estrin and I.B. Glaskov; Pergamon
1982; indexes of illustrative games
and variations; algebraic notation;
both paperbacks list for $ 13.50
(Volume 1: King's Gambit Ac-
cepted, 173 pages, USCF catalog
number 0333EP; Volume 2:
King's Gambit Declined, 131
pages, 0334EP; both $ 12.15 to

BY JOHN K. HILLERY
ith today's plethora of
openings monographs,
it was only to be expected that
someone would seek to revive
the King's Gambit. Estrin is, of
course, the well-known Soviet
correspondence master, while
Glaskov is a Soviet candidate
master and long-time King'
Gambit enthusiast.
There are definite problems
with these books. In volume 1,
pages 55-56 and 74-75 are so
confused as to be nearly incom-
prehensible — rather surprising
in such well-made books.
Another minor quibble is the
absence of any reference to the
book by Viktor Korchnoi and
Vladimir Zak on the King'
Gambit. Korchnoi himself is
mentioned only when his
games make it unavoidable.
On the other hand, the reader
is blithely referred for further
analysis to the works of Petroff,
hardly standard in most chess
libraries.
Of more importance is the
quality of the analysis. Here
one must exercise caution; the
authors show definite bias to-
ward the initiative.
A number of variations con-
clude with "a strong attack" or
"full compensation for a pawn"
when a more reasonable con-
clusion would be "unclear."
Defensive technique has, after
all, advanced a bit since the
days of Adolf Anderssen and
Max Lange.
Still, the authors have suc-
ceeded in their stated purpose:
to demonstrate that the King'
Gambit still has the right to ex-
ist. They have done an excellent
job of gathering and systematiz-
ing old games and analysis, and
they have quite probably im-
proved on some discarded
lines.
To be sure, some improve-
ments consist of going from a
loss to a draw, but one
shouldn't ask too much of the
venerable Hamppe-Allgaier
line.
The first volume covers most
of the lines of the King's Gambit
Accepted, while the second in-
cludes the King's Gambit De-
clined, Falkbeer Countergam-
bit, and oddments, many of
which tend to arise from the
Vienna Game.
Although not inexpensive,
these book can be reasonably
recommended to serious King'
Gambit players, particularly
correspondence players willing
to take the time to check the
variations critically.

because White is forced to get out of check first.
On the next move (or after 15. Bd2 Bxd2+), Black
can move his Queen to safety.
14. a3 JP
Black should now concentrate on freeing his
cramped position. One idea is 14.... d4, pr=vent-
ing Be3 and opening the a8-f3 diagonal for Black's
problem Bishop. If White continues with 15. Qe4
(remember to look for double attacks), then 15....

19. a3 Rc8 seems to give Black more than enough
for his sacrificed pawn. Another promising pos-
sibility is 14.... f6, attempting to free his game.
14.... f5?
This push makes no sense. Black should try to
improve the scope of his light-squared Bishop,'not
worsen it. By playing ... fV-f5 instead of ... fV-f6,
Black violates two Closed Game Principles: ¹3
(don't block your Bishops with pawre) and ¹5 (if
cramped, free your game by exchanging pieces).
15. Rcl
Since there's no need to play Be3 immediately,
White grabs the open c-file, in accordancel with
Closed Game Principle ¹9 (seize open lines).
15.... Bb7
One must wonder about this Bishop's future.
Note that 15.... d4 would open the long diagonal
but lose a pawn after 16. Qf2.
16. Be3 Qd8
Black's last move was forced. By driving the
Black Queen back, White takes control of another
open line: the a7-gl diagonal.
17. Nd4
What a post for a Knight! From d4 it overlooks
key squares, placing real pressure on Black's
game. We now see why a closed position may be
better suited to Knights than Bishops. The fixed
16 CHESS LIFE / FEBRUARY 1983
pawns do not hinder White's Knight — it can
jump over the central barrier. On the other hand,
Black's Bishop at b7 is literally walled in. Notice
how the Knight both attacks and blockades, put-
ting pressure on Black and preventing him from
making a freeing advance with his d-pawn.

Black. had to protect his e-pawn. A mistake
would have been 17.... Qb6 because of 18. Nxf5,
with a discovered attack on the Queen.
18. 0-0
This late castling illustrates an important dif-
ference between open and closed positions. You
usually castle early in open positions because an
open center often puts your King in danger. With
the center locked, however, the King is safer. In
i F//yi some closed games it's best to leave your King in
the center until you can tell if pawn advances will
open, up one flank or the other.

BASIC CHESS
CURRICULUM ¹11
White has resisted playing d3-d4, which nov-
ices might like because it makes a "prettier" pawn
structure. But it has serious drawbacks. First, it
.
makes White's dark-squared Bishop a problem
Bishop, robbing it of scope. Second, Black might
gain counterplay by transferring a Knight to c4.
Finally, in these types of positions d4 is best for a
piece. For example, in the middlegame it makes
an excellent post for a Knight, while a King is
often well-placed there in the endgame.
Closed Game Principle ¹10:
If the Center is Blocked,
Don't Automatically Castle.
18.... h5
Perhaps Black was afraid of 19. g4, because if he
plays 19.... fxg4, then 20. f5 will open up the game
in White's favor. Black isn't ready for a fight since
his pieces lag in development. This suggests:
Closed Game Principle ¹11:
If Behind in Development,
Keep the Game Closed.
Black's last move puts yet another pawn on'a;
light square, making life miserable for his lighi:-
squared Bishop. But then, it's hard to find good
moves here.
19. Nc3
Let's take stock. White has an advantage in:
~ space, because his pawns are more advanced
and his pieces have greater mobility;
~ time, because he's better developed and has
the initiative;
~ ~ ~
P ~
~ 4
~ ~
I
~ King safety, though this is not yet significant
vnth the posibon closed, and
~ pa~n 'tructure, because he has fewer
weakn~~. and his pawns help his pieces,
whereas Black's pawns block his own forces.
Individually, these fine points seem unimpor-
tant, but collectively they are overwhelming.
Clearly, White has the upper hand. So far, Black
has not had to give up material to counter these
"small advantages," but he may have to eventual-
ly. Since small advantages can be important,
especially when grouped together, we have:
Closed Game Principle ¹12
Try to Accumulate Small Advantages
White's last move started a maneuver. Because
this Knight was the least developed of all his
pieces, he has decided to make greater use of it.
Try to guess where the Knight is headed.
19.... Kf7
This is played to relieve the Knight at f8, which
has been tied down defending e6. It reveals
Black's limited number of options.
20. Nbl!
Where is the Knight going?
20.... g6
We don't mean to sound like a broken record,
but Black seems oblivious to the problem of his
light-squared Bishop. With all his pawns now
fixed on light squares, he must be careful not to
exchange his King's Bishop. Otherwise, the dark
squares would be indefensible. Black avoided 20.
... Nd7 because 21. Nxf5 mf5 22. e6+ Kf8 (but not
22.... Kxe6 23. Bb6+, wizLning the Queen) opens
up the game for White's better developed pieces
(though the resulting position is unclear).
21. Nd2 21..-.. Nd7 22. N2b3
Finally, it appears White's Knight is headed for
c5. White has had the time for this maneuver
because the position has been closed.
22.... Rc8

New Steinitz cartridge upgrades
Morphy'reat s mid-game play in Great Game Machine
Game Machine Mainframe reworked to ron at twice the speed. Code-named Mega 4
Continuing in the tradition of the popular SOSQ@elle
Great Game Machine, Applied Concepts, Inc. OOHIISNON
introduces the Steinitz Chess Cartridge and 4
megahertz Great Game Machine mainframe.
$0 0 SN .

Steinitz is programed to be a siccant im-

provement over the GGM's Morphy cartridge,
and although the Gruenfeld cartridge and
Capablanca cartridge may be used cont1guous-
ly with it, Steinitz will contain a good portion of
the playing strengths of each of those previous
cartridges.
According to Mr. Dennis E. Pirkle, National
Sales Manager of Applied Concepts, Inc.,
Steinitz may be played on current Modular
Game System and Great Game Machine main-
frames as an update to Morphy, but it will play
with even greater strength on the new Mega 4
mainframe.
Mr. Pirkle also contends that Applied is look-
ing into the feasibility of upgrachng existing
rmunframes to the 4 megahertz speed. Indica-
tions are that by the time of this reading, I.C.D.
will be able to answer questions relating to
upgrading possibilities, strength, and availabili-

BY JACK PETERS
r i he "World Master of
Chess" tournament, held
June 4-22, 1982, in Turin, Italy,
was by far the strongest tourna-
ment of the year. Its 2627
! average rating places it in
category 16, the World Chess
l Federation's highest bracket.
Unfortunately, it will probably
be remembered not for its ac-
complishments, but for its
failures.
Organizer Nicola Paladino
planned to invite World Cham-
pion Anatoly Karpov and the
champions of seven countries
to his double round-robin spec-
tacular. But, when some
players withdrew shortly after
the first round, he was left with
only a field of seven.
Worse yet, the West German
l grandmaster Dr. Robert
Huebner became ill and had to
drop out midway through the
tournament, when he was tied
for first place. Huebner's ad-
journed game from round 6 was
adjudicated a draw to complete
half of his schedule, making his
results official.
The small number of wins
(only nine decisive games! )
caused the scores to be tightly
bunched. Only 1'/2 points
separated those who finished.
83
I
The sensation of the event
was Ljubomir Ljubojevic's win
over Karpov in round 2. Ljubo-
jevic admits to "a complex"
about playing the world cham-
pion, and this was his first win
in dozens of tries.
Later, Karpov staged a mini-
rally, winning two games to
catch up to supersolid Ulf
Andersson, the only undefeated
player.
Perhaps Ljubojevic's win
gave Karpov added incentive in
the rematch. In any case, the
world champion produced the
best game of the tournament,
an attacking gem of understated
elegance.
Sicilian Defense
Karpov Ljubojevic
1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d63. d4Nf6
Black invites White to test the
seldom played 4. dxc5 Nxe4.
4. Nc3
Karpov declines the offer,
and the game returns to the
usual path of the Sicilian
Defense.
4.... cxd4 5. Nxd4
The transposition of moves is
designed to render 5. Qxd4
harmless. AEter 5. Qxd4 a6,
White cannot set up a Maroczy
Bind with 6. c4 because his
Knight blocks the c-pawn.
Compare this with 3... cxd4 4.

5.... a66. Be2 e6
Another transposition. Black
veers from the Najdorf lines
beginrung with 6.... e5, a Kar-
pov specialty, in favor of the
solid Scheveningen.
7. f4 Qc7 8. 0-0 b5?!
Ljubojevic, true to his reputa-
tion, chooses an aggressive, but
probably unsound, continua-
tion. The normal Scheveningen
move is 8.... Nc6.
9. Bf3
White must play sharply,
because 9. a3 Bb7 10. Bf3 Nbd7
presents Black with few prob-
lems.
9.... Bb7 10. e5 dxe5 11.

BY BURT HOCHBERG
few days after it happened, a
friend called to tell me that Ed
L . E. Edmondson had suffered a
catastrophic heart attack and was not ex-
pected to live. I remember thinking, "You
mean Ed Edmondson can die?"
It's hard to imagine that robust, energetic
man lying helpless and still. And harder,
for me, to accept the fact of his mortality.
For more than sixteen years he was my
friend and teacher, my colleague and sup-
porter; and for ten of those years he was
the man I worked for, the man whose
dreams I shared.
But far beyond that, he was the architect
of the U.S. Chess Federation we know to-
dav. It was he who put chess on the map in
this country. If leaders of the future see
more distant horizons than he did, it is
because they are standing on the mountain
that he built.
Master Plan
The decade 1967-1977, roughly the years
As editor of Chess Life & Review from 1966 to 1979,
Burt Hochberg worked closely with Ed Edmondson on a
daily basis.
USCF Establishes Two
Memorials for Edmondson
r i o acknowledge the role Ed Edmond-
son played in the federation's history
and development, USCF has made plans
for two permanent memorials.
The first is a trophy for the National
Open, a tournament Edmondson invented.
The original, including winners'ames,
will be displayed in a place of honor, and
each year's winner will receive a replica of
this Edmondson Cup.
The second is a dedication of two new
rooms at the New Windsor offices as the
Edmondson Suite. Recently constructed to
meet the growing needs of the federation,
the suite comprises a conference room and
office for the executive director. It thus
commemorates two of the important roles
played by Edmondson.
Friends of Ed who wish to contribute to
the costs of these memorials are welcome
to do so.
87
Ed was the executive director of the
USCF and the U.S. delegate to the World
Chess Federation (FIDE), was the most
momentous period in the history of chess,
surpassing even the Morphy era. It was a
time when the prestige of the most power-
ful nations on earth was at stake over the
chessboard, a time of testing and struggle, a
time when the greatest genius the game
has ever known walked among us — and,
then walked away from us. And it was
largely due to Ed Edmondson's vision, in-
telligence, and strength that it was a
momentous decade and that Bobby
Fischer actually became champion of the
world.
Ed had a grand plan for the future of
American chess. It was a flexible plan in
many of its details and in its timetable, but
by the time I first met Ed, in 1966, its broad
outlines were firmly fixed, and they never
4'hat changed.
The plan grew out of Ed's conviction that
American chess had to develop great,
popular players — "stars," if you will—
like the ones that helped make tennis and
golf so attractive to the media and the
public. Then chess would be popular too,
like those sports. The USCF would grow
and prosper. It would be able to provide
more recreational and educational services
to the amateur player and at the same time
properly support and represent the profes-
sional. And out of its larger pool of players
would emerge a greater number of
masters, grandmasters, and even world
champions — encouraged by a supportive
federation, an enthusiastic public, and the
prospect of adequate financial rewards.
These great players would in turn attract
still more people to the game through
media exposure, and the cycle would con-
tinue.
Specifically, these were Ed's major goals:
American world champions — men,
~ ciency.
women, junior, teams
~ A strong American influence in FIDE,
with Americans in key FIDE positions
'
A "pro tour" of money tournaments
for professional players and a system of
futurities to provide title opportunities for
promising young players
~ A USCF membership truly represen-
tative of the popularity of chess in this
country
~ The largest retail mail-order chess
operation in the world
~ A national postal chess operation run
by the USCF and linked with international
postal chess organizations
~ A financially sound business office
that would provide timely, efficient
membership services
~ A national chess magazine —
perhaps
two magazines — that would link
organizers and players together and also
provide current chess news, games, and
analysis by the best authorities.
These goals, and others not mentioned,
would not be achieved overnight, of
course. Some might not be achieved for fif-
ty years, maybe not at all. But they were all
realistic, achievable goals. Each, however,
was part of a total concept of how the
USCF should interact with all facets of
American chess, and none of them could
be said to be the goal of the USCF. All of
them together were the goal.
In 1966, when Ed's term as president
ended, he was hired as executive director,
a position created especially for him. This
represented a crucial shift in the power
structure of the USCF. Formerly, ex-
ecutive power had resided solely with the
president, who was usually far from the
USCF business office and preoccupied
with his own professional career. A full-
time executive director, vested by the
president with the authority to make deci-
sions and carry them out, could ac-
complish much more.
Ed wasted no time. He immediately
made plans to move the business office out
of New York City to a more economically
advantageous location, began hiring a pro-
fessional staff, started to reorganize the
retail sales department to make it efficient
and profitable, and took a thousand other
steps to improve USCF's service and effi-
And he began to chart a course toward
the world championship title for an
American player.
The Fischer Years
Bobby Fischer was the most likely can-
didate. Indeed, everybody was certain that
he would be world champion one day.
There were obstacles to overcome, of
course. But although Bobby could take

 champions, and they had to have plenty of
opportunities to develop by meeting strong
opponents and to earn international titles
so they could get invitations to foreign tour-
naments. To give young Americans the
chance to meet and play the best foreign
players, he invited foreign grandmasters
here to play in our tournaments and to give
lecture and exhibition tours all over the
country. (Ed's idea had another point, too:
Many of these grandmasters were influen-
tial with their own federations, and by
helping them earn money in the United
States, Ed gained friends that would be
very useful in FIDE.)

These annual events were two of the first

In the 1960s Ed set his "pro tour" plan in
"big-money" opens in the country, and al-
though in years to come they would be
,
somewhat overshadowed by tournaments
offering bigger prizes, they set a pattern of
relatively short tournaments at which pro-
fessionals could make good money. And by
attracting top players, they also gave young
masters the top-level playing experience
they needed.
And there was Ed's "futurity" program,
a system of invitational tournaments
designed to provide opportunities for un-
titled American players, especially young
~ verywhere Ed Edmondson went,
chess followed. As his career in the
- ~ Air Force — and later his duties as
USCF's chief representative — lead him
around the country and the world, he
worked tirelessly to promote the game he
loved.
Ed was born August 13, 1920, in
Rochester, New York. Like many chess
greats, this master of chess organization
learned the game at five by watching his
father and a friend play.
Ed quickly showed the tremendous
energy and enthusiasm for the game that
was to characterize his life. In high school
he helped organize a chess club, and by the
time he graduated his efforts had led to the
creation of a six-school chess league.
After working for General Electric and
Eastman Kodak, Ed signed up with the Air
Force during World War II, becoming an
airborne radar operator.
After the war, Ed's Air Force
assignments during the 1950s kept him
moving around the country, and
everywhere he went he started chess clubs
or pitched in to help develop existing ones.
From Shreveport, Louisiana, to Topeka,
Kansas; from Sacramento, California, to
San Antonio, Texas — Ed worked long and
hard in behalf of chess.
In Topeka and San Antonio, for example,

ones, to acquire international ratings and
titles.
And there were the national tours Ed ar-
ranged and managed for American pros.
And the feature articles about our
players that Ed persuaded major maga-
zines to publish.
And the contracts Ed got book publishers
to give American chess writers.
And Ed's program of per-diem expenses
for American players competing for inter-
national titles.
"I think some organizers tend to be a lit-
tle short-sighted about this," Ed said in
1977. "Franldy, if they resent the too-small
incomes that our few chess professionals
are making today, they'e overlooking the
fact that only if the professional is ade-
quately compensated will the young player
see that the game amounts to something;
he will maintain his interest, become
stronger, help us get more publicity and
complete the circle. More publicity brings
in more new people. You'e not giving
anyone something for nothing when you
offer adequate compensation for the strong
players. You'e simply building a pyramid.
The strong players happen to be at the top,
but the benefits filter down in the form of
publicity in the general press, games that
are worth studying, technical innovations
that weaker players can learn from, and

Ed helped bring club membership rolls
over 100, a huge success even by today'
standards. In Texas, he was elected presi-
dent of the state association and edited the
state journal.
Having made so many chess friends
around the country, Ed was a natural for
national office. He became USCF's na-
tional vice president in 1961, and he was
elected president in 1963.
Until 1966, when Ed's term as president
expired, primary responsibility for the
federation's affairs rested with the presi-
dent, who worked with a business
'ity.
manager in the USCF office in New York
When Ed retired from the Air Force
in 1966 as a lieutenant colonel, he became
USCF's executive director. This is perhaps
the most significant step USCF took
toward becoming the organization it is to-
day.
As executive director, Ed concentrated
fulltime on developing the federation into
an efficient and professional organization.
It is a tribute to his skills that membership
began doubling every three years, reaching
a peak of 60,000 during the "Fischer
Boom" and falling off to 50,000 later—
more than five times the number of
members USCF started with when Ed took
over in 1966.
the whole thing is bound very tightly to-
gether. .. We have to give our strong players
~
opportunities to become stronger and make a
better living in order to get media attention
and thus attract new people to the
game.'d's
philosophy of chess organization—
what's good for the top player is good for
the federation — proved its value in prac-
tice. But there had to be a lot moie. The
federation had to have the resources not
only to help support the professionals but
also to provide its growing numbers of
members with the services they wanted:
timely, accurate ratings, qualified tourna-
ment directors, a fine magazine, postal
chess tournaments, high quality chess sup-
plies at discount prices.
Within a year after taking the job of ex-
ecutive director, Ed moved the USCF to
Newburgh, New York, and in 1976 to New
Windsor. He intended to buy the building
in New Windsor, but legal snags developed
about the right-of-way, and the project was
put on hold until they could be resolved.
'ventually
the USCF did buy the building,
and now owns a physical plant adequate
not only to serve our present members but
a great many more.
In 1969, Ed made a deal with Al Horo-
witz to merge his Chess Review with the
USCF operation. This deal, at one stroke,
added several thousand new members, ex-
S
Ed also served as USCF's delegate to the
World Chess Federation. He proved just as
popular with chess people abroad as he
was here, earning election to FIDE's
governing council.
In his long chess career, Ed had many ac-
complishments he could point to with
pride. But when asked to sum up his feel-
ings upon his retirement in 1977, he show-
ed characteristic modesty. "The reason I
got into chess in the first place," Ed said,
"was that I enjoyed the people I met in
chess. What has meant the most to me has
I'e
been not only the personal friendships
made, but the good feeling I get from the
majority of our members, from their enjoy-
ing common social activities. There is a
very good fellowship in chess, and

Now Ed Edmondson is gone. Now he
belongs to history. But for those of us who
kr.ew him, shared beer and tacos with him,
first heard of Ed in Chess Life when,
.. still in the Armed Forces, he asked for
contributions to blind chessplayers in
whom he had become interested. I lost
contact with him until he showed up as the
executive director of the USCF, which at
that time was located in the same building
and on the same floor as my office. We met
frequently, and I consider it a great
privilege to be able to say that we became
real friends. It was a pleasure to cooperate
with this always friendly and businesslike
gentleman (in the truest sense of the word)
and his lovely wife, Nancy. His death is a
great loss to me, a .d I will remember him
forever.

fort of a struggling federation. He may
have been a pawn as a chessplayer, but he
was a King in promotion, and he almost
single-handedly helped build the USCF to
what it is today.

Black obtains easier play with 6.... b6!.

Black shall soon regret this move. He
should abandon hopes to develop the

An exclamation point to illustrate how

19. Rael Nf8 20. fxe5 dxe5 21. Bf5!
Beliavsky applies the squeeze with
meticulous accuracy. By provoking Black's
next move, the dark squares around
Black's King will become terribly weak.

can improve by playing 14. Qel! in answer

16. Qh5 NE8 17. Nd5 Rxf1+ 18. Rxf1 Be6,
but White retains attacking chances with
the subtle 19. Be2!, as Kasparov showed in
the post-mortem.
13.... gxf5 14. exf5 b5!
Now Black seizes the initiative.
15. Be3?!
Better is 15. cxb5, but Black's compensa-

 This dangerous pawn sac is practically
forced because 17. Kxe3 Ba3! leads to a
sharp position in which Black's two
Bishops might have something to say.
17.... Nxg2
Otherwise, Black is simply worse (17....
Nxc4 18. Nxc4, with the idea of Ne5).
18. Rcl!
A quiet but strong move. The direct 18.
Kf3?I leads to sharp play with good chances
for Black: 18.... Nh4+ 19. Kg3 g5 20. f4 h6!
21. E5 e6 22. dxe6 Exe6 23. Rcl b6!.
18... g5 19. Bb3 Nf4+ 20. Ke3 Bh3
~
21. Rbc2!
The only move, but a rather good one.
After 21. Rc7? Rac8 22. Rbc2 (22. Rxe7?
Rc3+ 23. Kd4 Ne2+ 24. Ke5 f6+ 25. Kd6
Rd8+ and mate next) 22.... Rxc7 23. Rxc7
Rc8, Black has a fat extra pawn (24. Rxe7?
Rc3+ 25. Kd4 Rd3+).
21.... Rac8 22. Nc4! e6!
The threat of either 23. Na5 or (in case of
22.. . b6) 23. Ne5 worried me. It was a
~
good time to be worried: I had two minutes
left for the rest of the game!
23. Nd6 Rxc2 24. Rxc2 exd5 25. exd5
Rd8 26. Ne4!
If 26. Nxb7, then 26.... Rd7 27. Nc5
Nxd5+ 28. Kf3 (28. Kd4? Nb4+ ) 28.... Rd8
29. Nb7 Rd7 30. Nc5 Rd8, with equality
(31. Rd2 Be6).
26.... Bf5! 27. Rc7 Kg7 28. d6 Bxe4
As they say, the slower the pace, the
fewer the problems. Still, if I only had
more time, I'd have played 28.... Ne6 29.
Bxe6 (29. Rxb7Bxe430. Kxe4Nc5+) 29....
Bxe6, and now either 30. Rxb7 Bd5 or 30.
Nxg5 Rxd6, with an easy draw.
29. Kxe4 Rxd6 30. Rxf7+ Kg6 31.
Rxb7 Rd2 32. Rxa7
I was afraid of 32. h4, although 32....
Rxf2 33. hxg5 Nh3 looks drawish.
32.... Rxf2 33. Ra6+ Kg7 34. a4
Rxh2 25. Kf5 Rb2 36. Rb6
If 36. Ra7+, then 36.... Kf8 (36.... Kh6??
37. Bg8) 37. Bc4 Rb4 38. Bb5 Nd5 39. Ke6
Nc3 40. Kf6 Ne4+ will draw.

36.... Nd3 37. Rb7+ Kh6 38. Rb6+
Kg7 39. Rb7+ Kh6 40. Rb6+ Kg7 41.
Rb7+, draw
Finally the time pressure — and the
game — is over. Thus, I had a hard time in
my "own" variation, and I was happy to
survive. Four months passed, and history
repeated itself when we met in the first
round of the Hungarian Championship.
This time we made the first twelve moves
quickly. Then Portisch played...
13. Nb3
And I got very suspicious. Portisch is
famous for his preparation. I checked
every move once more but — although I
had some doubts — I decided to be consis-
tent (for a change).
13.... Rd8 14. d5 Nb4 15. a3
One interesting possibility: 15. Bc5 Nxa2
16. Rc2 Nc3 17. Bxe7 Re8 18. d6 Nxe4! 19.
Bb5 Nxd6! 20. Bxe8 Nxeg. Although this is
unclear, Black does have two passed
pawns for the Exchange.
15.... Na2 16. Rc2 Nc3 17. Bd3!
Here we are! This is stronger than 17. E3
e6 18. Bd4 Bxd4 19. Nxd4 Na4! (but not 19.
~.. Nbl? 20. Rcl Nxa3 21. Rc3 e5 22. Rxa3
exd4 because after 23. Bb5i, White's center
pawns are stronger than Black's Queenside
pawns) 20. Nb5 exd5 21. Nc7 Rb8 22. Nxd5
Be6, with more comfortable play for Black.
17.... e6 18. Bg5
After 18. Nd4? exd5! 19. Rxc3 dxe4,
Black wins material:
18.... f6?
I considered 18. . Rd6 for a long time
~ ~
(my clock was runring a little too fast
again), intending an Exchange sacrifice
such as 19. Kd2 Na4! (19.... exd5 20. e5i
Bxe5 21. Rxc3 Bxc3+ 22. Kxc3 is better for
White) 20. Bb5 Bd721. Be7 Bh6+! 22. Kel
(or 22. Kdl) 22.... Bxb5 23. Bxd6 exd5,
when Black has good compensation for the
Exchange.
19. Bd2
Of course 19. Bf4? is a mistake: 19.... f5!
20. Bc7 fxe4! 21. Bxd8 exd3 22. Rd2 exd5!,
and Black has the upper hand.
19.... Na4 20. Bb5
Not 20. Bc4 Nb6 21 Ba5 Rd6!.
20.... Bd7
~
There was another opportunity for an
Exchange sac with 20.... Nb6 21. Bb4 exd5
22. Be7 Bd7 23. Bxd8 Bxb5 24. Bxb6 axb6
25. exd5 Rxa3. This position deserves fur-
ther exaaunation. White also can simply
play 20.... Nb6 21. dxe6 Bxe6 22. Nc5.
21. Bxd7 Rxd7 22. dxe6 Re7 23. 0-0?
Portisch misses a promising tactical shot:
23. Nd4! E5 24. Nxf5 (or 24. Bg5 Re8 25.
Nxf5) 24.... gxf5 25. exf5, and the con-
nected passed pawns are very formidable.
23.... Rxe6 24. Rc7 Rxe4 25. Rxb7
Bf8! 26. Rcl! Bxa3?
This is a stupid mistake (made in serious
time pressure); the normal 26.... Re7
avoids the unnecessary complications.
27. Rcc7 Bf8 28. g3?
White should play 28. Rxh7!, when the
situation becomes difficult again: 28.. .
~
Rae8 29. f3 R4e7 30. Rhxe7 Rxe7 (although
30... Bxe7 loses a pawn, it's still probably

a draw) 31. Rb8 KE7 (not 31.... Rf7? 32.

How to succeed at a chess
tournament without really playing.
~ I
~ ~
hen a major chess event comes
to your area, do you invari-
ably participate? Most of the
time you should, because playing serious
games is one of the best ways to improve.
.
Nevertheless, there may be times when
you can't or don't want to play — perhaps
you have only one day to spare. You can
still join in, and learn a great deal, by
'atching instead of playing.
l center square in turn and ask if it
The Art of Kibitzing
Instead of a set, board, and clock, you'l
need a notebook and perhaps a diagram
pad on which to jot down interesting posi-
tions for further study. Try to arrive about
- an hour after
the round has started, and
stake out ten boards for special attention.
The games of grandmasters and masters
obviously make the best subjects, but can-
didate masters and even category I players
can also be well worth watching;-
The art of kibitzing is really the art of
analyzing, applied to somebody else'
game. Try to do it systematically, by look-
- ing at each position in turn
and asking the
same questions of yourself (preferably in
the same order) as you would if, if were
your position. For example:
e Who's ahead in material? For
very inex-
perienced players, counting up pawns and
pieces again and again will be good prac-
tice, because the ability to tell at a glance if
someone is ahead in material is a basic
skill. Even grandmasters begin their
analysis by determining how things stand
materially. In doing so, follow a definite
procedure. Always count pawns first, for
in'stance, then pieces.
~ From what
opening did the position arise?
You can usually tell by studying pawn
structure. Most openings, and even varia-
tions, have their own characteristics, such
as Black's half open Queen-Bishop file and
fianchettoed King-Bishop in the Dragon
Sicilian. The more such set-ups you learn,
the better. (If, after careful study, you are
still in doubt, consult one of the
players'coresheets
)Classifying a .position this
way helps in recalling other similar games
you'e seen. In chess, plans and
maneuvers tend to repeat themselves, and
Biuce Pandolfini is a national master and an expert
kibitzer from New York City.

the more you know about what happened
in similar games, the more likely you are to
hit upon the correct way to play the posi-
tion at hand.
~ Who controls the center? The side that
controls more central squares will usually
have the advantage. He will have more
space in which to operate, and it will be
easier for him to shift his forces from one
sector of the board to anether. Look at each
"belongs" to one side or the other. If one
player seems to control more squares in the
center, ask how he can best take advantage
of it. Then look at the problem from the
other side's point of view: ask what he can
do to contest the central squares and
perhaps wrest control of them from his op-
ponent.
The art of kibitzing
is really the art of
analyzing, applied to
somebody else's ga me.
Try to classify the situation in the center
as well. Is it an open center? That is, have
one or more central pawns been captured
or exchanged? Is it a fluid center? In other
words, can both players still move their
center pawns, or have they become fixed
in place, leaving greater scope for play on
the wings? Before tackling this exercise,
you might want to read up on pawn
centers and corresponding plans in classic
textbooks, such as those by Ludek
Pachman or Alexander Kotov.
~ Are any pieces especially well
placed?
Badly placed? Perhaps White's Knight has
achieved a powerful post on e5, or Black's
Queen-Bishop is still on its original square,
hemmed in by pawns and fixed on light
squares — a so-called bad Bishop. Often an
entire game plan can be based on taking
advantage of one well-posted piece or ex-
ploiting an opponent's badly placed one. At
the same time, see if either side can use this
advantage to start an attack. If some pieces
are undeveloped, ask yourself if they can
still be posted effectively, and, if so, where.
~ What are the strong and weak
points for
each side? Strong squares are those which,
given time, a player can occupy to good ef-
~ ~
feet. Usually, one side's strong squares will
be the other side's weak ones. Sometimes
one square stands out as being dramatical-
ly strong (or weak). In other cases, a player
may be strong or weak on a whole series of
squares, often all of one color. You may
then have what is called either a light- or a
dark-squared game, in which play seems to
take place mainly on that particular series
of important squares.
Ask yourself how, if your own position
contained such strong squares, you would
go about exploiting them. Then change
hats. Ask how, if your position were weak
in that way, you would go about defen'ding
it. This is how both sides in a master game
form their short-range plans — they iden-
tify what needs to be done and then look
for the best way to do it.
~ Who stands better? Once
you have
sorted out the elements of a position, it is
time to come to some conclusions. If you
have decided that one side has the advan-
tage, try to put into words — and down in
your notebook — just what that side's ad-
vantage consists of. Perhaps Black is a
pawn ahead. The next step i:& to ask what
compensation, if any, White has in ex-
change. Perhaps one player has an ad-
vantage in space or some particularly
well-posted pieces. Usually, you will be
able to list these factors in parallel col-
umns, assigning what you think is an ap-
propriate value to each one. The impor-
tant thing here is to put your thinking in-
to words. There is no better way to come
to grips with a chess position and im-
prove your analytical ability.
~ What is the correct
plan for each side?
Here again, you should try to put a
general plan into words. It is entirely un-
necessary to work each game out to a
concluding position — an impossible
task, usually, and, for your purposes,
beside the point. Your job is to deter-
mine, as well as you can, what each
player should be striving for. When you
are satisfied that you have done so, move
on to the next board.
Now Do It Again

survey of ten boards, a great deal will

Notes and Queries
~ Reader Taylor Kingston of Santa Rosa,
California, writes: "One topic I would like
to see discussed is the relationship between
a person's over-the-board strength and
postal strength. Is there a direct correlation
between the two, or are many players good
at one and not the other?"
Hanon Russell, in the book mentioned
above, writes: "... mention is made of the
fact that regardless of what strength one
plays at over-the-board, one should be able
to play at approximately one class higher in
strength in correspondence chess. This is
because one will have more time to reflect,
work out variations, etc. Whether or not
this actually works out in practice is a mat-
ter of debate. In theory, of course, it should
definitely hdld true."
If you have an opinion on the subject,
please send it and other postal-related mail
to me at the address above.
"... Regardless of what strength
one plays at over-the-board,
one should be able to play
at appro~cimately one class
higher in strength in

 and Ron Henley as seconds, did not escape
such unpleasant surprises. Because there
were only two hours to analyze adjourned
positions, we did not always find the best
continuation s.
In his game with Grandmaster Bent
Larsen, Browne had unfortunately missed
some good continuations, reaching this
position at adjournment. Larsen's last
move was 1. Rb2-c2!?, and Walter had
sealed 1.... Re8-el
Maybe we should have enjoyed doing
the analysis, but our position was inferior.
The question is whether White's passed
pawn is good enough to win given the
small amount of material left on the board.
We started by analysing the most obvious
move, but we failed to go further because it
involves a race in which everything
depends on one tempo. For example: 2. b7
Rbl 3. Rc6+ Ke7 4. Rc7+ Ke6 5. Ke4
Rb4+ 6. Kd3 g5 7. Kc3 Rbl 8. Kd4 f6! 9.
Kc5 Kf5 10. Kc6!? gxf4 11. gxf4 Kxf4 12.
Rc8 h5 13. b8=Q Rxb8 14. Rxb8 h4 15.
Kd5 h3 16. Rh8 Kg3 17. Ke4h2 18. Ke3 Kg2
19. Rg8+ Kf1! 20. Rh8 Kg2, and Black can
draw at the last minute. We were con-
vinced,the draw could be held in other
'ines,
too.
But let us see what happened.
2. Rb2
White returns his Rook to its former
post because he could find nothing bet-
ter. It is a well-known motif: Black's
Rook will be forced into a passive role
while his colleague moves freely about.
White will make use of this freedom.
2..... Re8 3. b7 Rb8
We believed 4. Ke4 Ke6 5. Rb6+ Kd7
4'05
6. Kd5 Kc7 7. Kc5 Rxb7 8. Rxb7+ Kxb7
9. Kd6 g5! 10. fxg5 hxg5 11. g4 f5! holds
the position. And.we were right. But...
4. Kg4!!
White's King surprisingly shuns the
center for the Kingside, hoping to weaken
Black's Kingside pawns and penetrate
there. Now White would have a simple
win after 4.... g6 5. Rb6+ Kg7 6. E5 g5 7.
Kf3 Kf8 (7.... h5 8. Ke4 h4 9. gxh4 gxh4 10.
Kf4, and White wins) 8. f6! Ke8 (8.... h5 9.
Rc6) 9. Kg4.
4.... Ke6 5. f5+ Ke5
If 5.... Kd6, then 6. Kh5!, and now either
6.... Kc7 7. f6! gxf6 8. Kxh6, and White can
win easily or 6.... Ke77. Rb6 f6 8. Kg6 Kf8
9. g4 Kgs 10. Rc6!. Although Walter tries to
prevent this line, the situation is hopeless.
= 6. Rb4
g6 7. fxg6 fxg6 8. Rb6 Kd4 9.
Rxg6 Rxb7 10. Rxh6
White no~~ has a theoretically winning
position because Black's King can't reach
White's Queening square.
10.... Rg7+ 11. Kf4 Rf7+ 12. Kg5
Ke5 13. g4 Rf8 14. Kh5 Rf7 15. g5 Kf5
16. Rh8! Ke6 17. Re8+ Kf5 18. g6 Ra7
19. Rf8+ Ke6 20. Rf1 Ra2 21. Kh6 Ke7
22. g7 Rh2+ 23. Kg6 Rg2+ 24. Kh7
Rh2+ 25. Kg8 Ra2
Or 25.'.. Rh3 26. Rel + Kd7 27. Re4 Rh2
28. KE7 Rf2+ 29. Kg6 Rg2+ 30. KE6 RE2+
31. Kg5 Rg2+ 32. Rg4, and White will win
by building a "bridge."
26. Rhl, Black resigns
Our only consolation consisted in the
fact that the adjourned position was lost in
any case; we could not do anything against
White's fine Kingside maneuver.
Climactic Showdown
The biggest surprise revolved around
the adjournment between leaders Smyslov
'nd Zoltan Ribli in the next-to-last, round.
The game stretched into a second ad-
journment, allowing both sides sixteen
hours for analysis. Ribli's first tactic was to
get some sleep, confident that he could win
the adjourned position. But by morning his
analysts had decided the game was a draw,
and this judgment was confirmed by the
"Budapest Hot Line." No Eurther analysis
could change this judgment, and so Ribli
showed up at the adjournment thinking
that he was going to get only half a point.
Smyslov, on the other hand, played as if
he thought he would lose quickly.
Who was right? AEter some forced ex-
changes, Smyslov had to decide what to do
with his attacked Bishop.
1.... Bh2?
As we'l see, this loses. However, 1....
Bh4 (hoping for a draw with 2. Ke4?
Bd8!) does not help, even though it looks
natural. After 1. .. Bh4, White has a bet-
~
ter resource, one similar to that in the ac-
tual game. One interesting possibility: 1.
... Bh4 2. b6 Kc6 3 Ke4 Kxb6 4. Ke5 Kc7
~
5. Ke6 Kd8 6. Kf7 Kd7 7. E6 Kd6 8. Kg7
Ke5 9. E7 Be7 10. h4! (10. f8 = Q? Bxf8+
11. Kxf8 Kf4! 12. Kg7 Kg5 and 13.... h5
will draw) 10.... Kf4 11. Kxh6! Kxg4 12.
h5, and White wins. Black's Bishop is
helpless against the two passed pawns.
Afterward, Smyslov
admitted he and his team
had done bad work
The right continuation is the prob-
lemlike 1.. . Be5! (or similarly, l.
~
Bel) 2 b6 Kc6 3. Ke4 Bc3 4. h4 (the best
try; although 4. b7 seems to be best, it too
leads only to a draw; for example, 4...

f6 Kd6! 9. h4 Ke5 10. Kg6 Ke6) 4. Bf6! 5.
h5 Bh8I [this fine move is the only way to
rescue the game; here 5.... Kxb6? loses;
for example, 6. Kd5 Kc7 7. Ke6 Bc3 (7....
Bh8 8. Ke7) 8 f6 Kd8 9. g5, and White
~
wins; this possibility is avoided by the
unusual Bishop move] 6. b7 Kxb7 7. Kd5
Kc7 8. Ke6 Kd8 9. KE7 Kd7 10. Kg6 (if 10.
f6, then 10.... Kd8! draws) 10.... Ke7,11.
Kxh6 Bc3! 12. g5 Bd2! 13. Kg6 Kf8, and
the position is a theoretical draw (consult
Reuben Fine's Basic Chess Endings for
more information) ~
But now for the rest of the game
2. b6!
This pawn sacrifice diverts Black's King
so that his White colleague can penetrate.
White will win.
2....Kd5 3. b7 Bb8 4. h4 Ke5 5. h5
Here are two possibilities: (I) 5.... Kf6 6.
Ke4 Ke7 7. Kd5 KE6 8. Kc6 Ke7 9. g5! hxg5
10. h6 Kf7 11. Kd7 g4 12. h7 Kg7 13. E6+
Kxh7 14. f7 Kg7 15. Ke8 Bd6 16. b8=Q
BxQ 17. f8=Q+ and (II) 5.... Ba7 6. Ke2
Kd5 7. g5! hxg5 8. h6.
After Smyslov resigned, Ribli told him
the game was only a draw — then proceed-
ed to show Smyslov the drawing line.
Smyslov, who didn't want to believe it,
called over another former world cham-
pion, Tigran Petrosian, to take a look at the
position. Afterward, Smyslov admitted he
and his team had done bad work. The
game earned Ribli the awards for both the
best game and the best endgame.
It's amazing to think the nine-member
Soviet team could not find the draw,
especially when the fate of first place hung
in the balance. It just all goes to show how
difficult it is to find the truth of a position,
even one that seems simple. Sometimes
even true experts can commit mistakes.

gave Fischer the title). Spassky played 14.

in the paper of a woman who started at six-

Professor Arpad Elo addresses
this question in his book The Rating of
~
Chessplayers Past and Present. Top players
~ .
appear to peak around thirty, holding this level
for teri3years before, tapering off. He writes:
-"When. players are introduced to the game at
the same age, differences in aptitude show very
early... persist and even widen in later life
fill/z, lilt/«,i r
... No great master of record learned the.
.
game late in life, or even in adulthood... On
i~~p~&P,
the other hand, the old adage that a player not
a master by age twenty-one never will be ap-
pears not entirely reliable, although at twenty-
one the future master should be near that level
... The most spectacular advance in proficien-
cy appears between the ages of twelve and
eighteen, when, on the average, a player may
gain as much as 150 points per year."
Individual circumstances vary. In the
September issue, page 44, we published a win
by Judge Leighton (age seventy and improving]
over a master rated 2439. Older players retain
and increase their skill, wi th incentive, but are
more subject to fatigue. Vassily Smyslov, at
sixty-one, might be the next world champion-
ship challenger!
Agonizing Reappraisal
James West, Kearny, New Jersey: Here
is my analysis of a theoretically important
line of the Najdorf Sicilian. The game was
-
played last September during the final
round of the New Jersey Open, and it may
be my last opportunity to get into your col-
umn, since according to my arithmetic, my
4I/z-1I/z result should put my rating above
2200 to stay.
'- Ever since Velimirovic-Kazzaz (Nice
1974), the tactical shot 13. BxP has been
considered the refutation of Black's
Queenside castling. But 15.... N-B4! calls
for a reappraisal of the whole line.

For me, 1982 might just as well have
been 1972. The Spassky-Fischer match
still seems to be the last word in several
sharp variations. For example, my fourth-
round draw, against Kenneth Potts Fol:
lowed their'ourth game for the first
twenty-one moves!
In game 15, Spassky continued 13. BxN
NxB 14. QxP, snaring a pawn, although
Black managed to draw.
13. BxP PxB 14. N/4xNP Q-N3 15.

Kazzaz played 15.... P-Q4, offering back
the sacrificed piece; but he lost to the

My opponent later asked me "what else
is there?" A game of mine in 1980 con-
tinued 16. PxP?! BxP 17. NxBch RxN 18.

compensation.
John Nunn, in his 1982 update of
Michael Stean's book on the Najdorf, gives
16. Q-R3! on the basis of a correspondence
game that continued 16.... N-Q4 17. NxN,
when Black was in trouble. Instead, 16....
PxP 17. PxP N-Q4 seems better in light of
18. NxN? BxBch. Of course, after 18. BxB
NxB 19. RxRch RxR 20. QxP (or 19.
N-Q6ch K-Nl 20. NxP), White has an at-
tack and three pawns for the piece.
Perhaps best is 16.... B-R3!? since 17. PxN
PxP 18. N-Q5 Q-N2 seems to hold.

It's amazing how many players, in-
cluding a former New Jersey champion,
have fallen for this trap. Two other
possibilities are 19. B-N3 P-B4 (intending ...
P-R4-5) or 19. K-Nl N-Q2 (or even N-R5!?).

The poetic justice inherent in this game

Q-N3 becomes a wasted tempo, especially
after the KN-file is opened. In my opinion,
White must return to Spassky's 13. BxN,
followed by the snatch of the IQ&, if he is
to hope for any advantage. At least then
White has a pawn to compensate for the,'

Larry Quigley, Cassopolis, Michigan:
'I'III not sure if this is my best game, but it
is certainly my flashiest. It may be my first
and last chance to be in your column,

I.B. GM Leonid Shamkovich-Dave
Koval/1950 (simultaneous exhibition 1980):
A. This arose from a French: 1. P-Q4 P-K3 2.
P-K4 P-Q4 3 N-Q2 PxP 4. NxP N-KB3 5. NxNch
QxN 6. N-B3 P-KR3 7. P-KR4 N-B3, and now the

Bishop, and Knight for the Queen — which was
enough to win. If you thought this Bishop was
immune from capture, you'e in good company.
B. In view of the weakened Kingside, it is like-
ly that White will want to castle long as soon as
possible. White achieves this maneuver
economically with 1. B-K3, followed by 2. Q-Q2,
delaying the development of the KB until its best
post becomes apparent in the subsequent action.
Right now K3 is surely the best post for the QB.
C. Too passive is 1. B-K2. How does White
know so soon that this Bishop belongs here in-
stead of Q3, QN5, or even QB4? It's better to
delay this decision while making necessary
preparations to secure the King on the Queen-
side. Put off until tomorrow what you don't have
to do today.
