Former World Champion. Dr. Max Euwe. Ernest Gruenfeld. Hans Kmoch.

a nd many other authorities This latest and immense work, the most exhaustive of its kind, ex­

plains in encyclopedic detail the fine points of all openings. It carries the reader well into the middle game, evaluates the prospects tJ1ere and often gives complete exemplary games so that he is not left hanging in mid-posi tion with the query: What happens now?

A logical sequence binds the continuity in each opening. First come the moves with footnotes leading to the key position. Then fol· low pertinent observations, illustrated by "Idea Variations." Finally, Practical and Supplementary Variations, well annotated, exemplify the effective possibilities. Each line is appraised: +, - or = .

The large format- 7lj2 x 9 inches- is designed for ease of read· ing and playing. It eliminates much tiresome shuffling of pages between the principal lines and the respective comments. Clear, legible type, a wide margin for inserting notes and variation.identify. ing diagratllti are other plus features.

In addition to all else, this book contains 439 complete games-a golden treasury in itself!

one clear point of resemblance: in each, the you nger mall WOIl , Spassky defea ted Ke res in their Quarter-f ina ls Ma tch ; a nd Ge ll e r, Smyslov; a nd this " trad ition" was ca rr ied on into the first Sem i.fina ls : Spassky won from Geller, In fac t, the twen ty-nine· year-old Spassky smashed th e fo rty­two-year-ol d Gelle r in good sty le, much as each had don e fo r his opponent in the ea rl ier ma tches ,

Should matters move all i ll the sa me way : the yo unger player a lways winn ing, th e prospects of Lajos Port isch wo uld not be loa bad us this gifted Hunga r ian player is the youn gest o f the ma tch contesta nts, We know, however, that in the chess str uggle age does not play any a ll , important pa rt and the regula L-jty pointed out is certainly acc identa l.

The expla na tion of Spassky's successes which, accord ing to thi s com­menta to r's expecta tion, ma y exlend clear to his winni ng the Wor ld Champ­ionshi p, sooner resides in his long experience on a very broad base, Not­withstand ing his youthfu lness, he has itlready been more tl1l1 11 ten yea rs in the top class, I n 1956, he was a dre!lcled opponent in the Cha ll engers Tournamen t at Amsterdam ,

True, Smyslov won that tournam ent, but Spassky was the only playe r Lo defeat him in a sha r p game, Lt was a lready clea r then that Spassky was a master with all wea pons. He excelled hoth in a ttack a nd defense, in stra tegy a nd tactics, in openings and endgames, Yel Ihis very fact a lso was a n ind ication th a t Spassky would not become a Morphy, a meteor fa ll ing from the chess hea ven crushing eve rything in its wa y, Spassky would follow a gradua l rout e, build a broad fundam ent 0 11 which he coul d expand l ittle by litt le, He di d not a tt a in spectacu la r successes in recen t years, He won the Ru ssi.~l1l Championshi p once hUI ot her times ca me out fou rth or fi fth,

The ris ing line I II Spassky's career, il owever, was pla in ly discernible,

So it was not at a ll a stonlsil in g thut he shared first place in the Amsterdam Inler20nal last year, Bul his trlumllh t his yea r over Keres was 11. SllI' lwise, For Lhe chess world had become fuw ill ar with the Idea or Keres' olllstand ing at_ tainwents hl the Chnll engers Rouud,

After SIlRssky had oyercome this se1"l . ous obstncle, he was t ons ider ed to be capable or anything, Geller had to lose: a nd th e next opponent also, be i t Tnhl , P ortl sch, l vkov or Larsen, wil l become a vlcUm in Octobe r as well. And t hen perhaps Pet rosY!ln?

Spassky's ma tch vicLo ry aga inst Geller came about regll iar ly and QllleLl y, T he [irs t win \\'1\9 scored ill t he second ell · co un ter, T hen t he II la}'en; prodllced on ly draws th rough the fi f th game, The sec_ ond bl ow came in Game six; and, PI'ac­tical1y, It m ennt the en d, Under the de_

vice of "Everything 01 ' nothing," Gellel' nnalneol " nothing" in t he eighth J;ame. So t he stur dy Uk l-ainilln, who recen tly had show ll extraordina ry form a lso, was eliminated.

Up-to-date opening analysis by an outstanding authorit y.

by DR. MAX EUWE Former World Champion

THE PIRC DEFENSE - a Revolution against Fixed Opinions

AFTER Wo rl d War I, Reti 's ideas we re first brought - into practi ce: refra in from occ li Pying the center and seize upon the hostile center frolll il s flHnk. And many good resu lts were obtained, for example by the King's India n Defense. Yet it beca me Ihe finn convict ion of the young masters of the period that the successes were indebted to the fact that the opponent had built too broad a center: e.g. by P- QB4, P- Q-1 and P- K4 . Sli ch a center, it is trlle, increased the possibil it ies of its crea tor in one sell~c but also made his center squares more vul nerub le. The system against it wo rked, in general : set one cen ter Pawn on the th ird ra nk allowing the opponent fu ll opportun ity to form a broad center; direct one or two Knights aga inst it ; fianchetto one or two Bishops; and, finally, attack the center hy moves like P- QB4- or P- K4. Such an attack proved promising against formations with Pawns on QB4, Q4 and K4 and even better with th em 011 QB4, Q4, K4, and KB4. The general opinion remained, however, that this system would not work aga inst more modest and compact centers with Pawns on Q4 und K4. In the worst outcome, it was though t, supporting moves like P-QB3 and P- KB3 could in­tercept any serious actio ns. Hence, the "fianchetto el i Donna" ( .. . P-QN3) and "fianchetto del Rey"

Part I. The Quiet Deployment White Black

1 P_ K 4 P_Q3 2 P_Q4 N_K B3 3 N-Q B3 P_KN3

( .. . P-KM3) were rejected mostly witho ut further argument.

It was ra ther surprising, therefo re, that, shortly after World War n, the Yugoslav Grandmaster Vasja Pirc int rodllced th e move] .. . P- Q3 followed q uickly by the King's fiu ll chetto with abo ut the saille objectives <lS in the normal King's Ind ian. The grea t difference, however, Wil S that Black d id no t fight against the broad center bu t only agai nst Ihat with Pawns on Q4 and K4 . So, whe n some experience seemed to pro· duce sati sJucto ry counterplay from the P ire (also call­ed the Yugoslav) Defense, that mea nt l it tle less than H revol uti on against fixed opinions. A solid deploy­ment by \,\Th it e is sufficient indeed to keep Black from gell ing th e ini tiat ive. But it is difficult for \, Ihite to achi eve mo re than eq ual it y. The P ire Dc­fense has IJecollle a 100 % opening, eq uivalent to all ot her current answers to 1 P- K4. NIany strong play­ers, aillong them Botv inn ik, are its ardent adepts .

In thi s art icle and the next will be rev iewed the most importa nt lines of the opening, divided into two sections : a ) the quiet handl illg by White with 1. N-K83; b) the more or less sharp va r ia tions, namely, 4 P-B3. 4 B- QB4, 4 B-KB4, 4 P- B4 n"d 4 B- K2 followed l)y S P- KR4.

RETURN of the Haunted Chessboard

It was Jes~e Einkorn who brought the news to the Little Chess Club. "]\ com· puter, one of a stepped.up grade, work· ing from a programme"-Einkorn pro­nounced it in three syllables-"devised by an expert abroad, does the job at last!"

Al Conboy looked up from his regular Saturday-night game with Vic Nolle: "What's best: I P-K4 or 1 P-Q4?"

"Dat's easy," said Howard Derringer, "PK4 off course." He did a 'take' : "Huh! Confuter? Say, dat's guff. No'buddy tells me no machine pi'ays chess. Nuzzer!"

"Hold it a minute, Hotshot," I said, Derringer was a school dropout; but

no one formed opinions quicker or stuck by them more stubbornly. So hi~ nick· name was a natural.

"Yon may heat mM! of us at chess; but Conboy knows this subject. £inkorn does. too." I added as I saw Jesse stiffening. "But he's maybe prejudiced. How ahout , C '"., It, on ..

Con looked ~teadily at Einkorn: "\Vhich ?"

"Which? Oh," said Einkorn. "It hasn't solved all , chess yet." He blinked a bit at Hotshot's raucous "Ha!" and crowded in: "But it does perform in, er. it does playa masterly game!"

"Proof?" Con'hoy put in suavely, "Well. it wins from master~. Why, it

routed three topraters!" "Who?" Vic cut in, "Don't beseech me

to entertain the exceedingly improbable surmise that Fischer was fru~trated by this electronic contra()tion !"

"Come again?" queried Einkorn. "011 , no. Fischer refused to play. But it beat the next three." His voice rose on the last declaration. then fell off almost comically 'as he saw Vic about to retort.

Vic paused, however. smiled a hit and then caught my eye and headed for the coatroom. I followed.

"Attend," he intoned. "1 have a strap· ping conception wherewith to discombohu_ late thb omnipotent confabulation."

Vic had had a brainstorm. In a word, or at least many fewer than Vic used, it \V'as to confute the computer with his haunted chess se\.* At first his plan appeared a

real ploy. Then I grew dubious. What made Vic think a machine would be af_ fected by a ghost?

Vic 5miled confidently when I put that question. "I'll convince you; but, first , can we effectuate any intercourse with the directorate, that is, gratuitously per­adventure? None of liS are ~uperabun­

dantly usuoapient of the wherewithal." "There's Conboy," I mused. "He's had

dealings with top men in that line. May­be, he can swing it." And we hurried back to the playing room.

Conboy was still probing Einkorn. "Well," Einkorn was responding reluc·

tant ly. "I don't really know. It cC'uld he the computer didn't Illay complete games. That does involve a lot, almost infinite calculations. Perhaps, even Magicount 11714 is un'able to raule them off fast enough, even at 1.000 computations a second. But it did outshine three master~ ,

somehow. I didn't catch the whole story." He grimaced at Hotshot's snort.

"Just solved positions faster'?" Conboy inquired gently.

"Hold it a minute, Con," I broke in. "Can you 'arrange fOJ' U5 to test the com· puter?"

"IJ '," 'd C "Y , h' V'" s. salon. ou In tIS, lC. So long as you're not counting on your caissic sagacity "

"Oh, verily," retorted Vic. "and which of us has the ascendancy in the mono­machy of the moment?"

"Good question," said Con. "Shall we settle itT' And he turned to the chess· board beside him.

"Con!" I exhorted, and Vic backed me up. wordlessly, for a wonder.

Con became more 8erious. "Doubt it. These fellows aren't in it for peanuts. Expect yuu don't intend endowing them?"

"We know we haven't the ca5h." 1 acquiesced. then put it more ~lowly: "Tell 'em, we run a gaml' up to, er, is it 37

v, 7" moves. IC.

"28." said Vic, somewhat. suurly,

"Okay, a mere 28 moves, and the com· puter won't be abie to give a reasonable 29th, That won't take time to speak of. and it ought to rankle the Joes in charge!"

"Dis 1 gotta obsoive." said Hotshot. "In 15. could he 12 moves, I smacks in wit' one dat ain't in no books. and wot's da confuter do den, e'h?"

Con ignored Hotshot and cocked an eye· brow at Vic. "Sure of your ploy? You're

lllore up on compukrs than to think they just play from memurized book lines?"

So Con had not ignored Hotshot. Vic cleared his throat. " Look," I said hurri(,dly. "Vic and 1

will give you a rundown. Point is, can 'f ,,, you set up a sessIOn or us.

"Who directs this project?" Con asked Einkorn, "Dr. Ernst Denker?"

At Jesse's /lod, Con turned back to us. "W!'ll," he began, 'and his tone was skep_ ticaL "I can try; but you two had bet· ter be convinc--"

To our surprise. Jes~e cut in. "I know Karl P leigher-he types off the code to the computer-and I'll arrange it. We Can work in a session on a Sunday when 11714 is not engaged. You can't tell me you can ~tump it with anyone-move problem!"

"It's not a problem." I said mildly, "It's .. " a game POSJtiOIl.

"Just so, just so," answered Einkorn. "The computer will do it. Why, even the Euratom programme could cope with the 'tree for anyone move.t It's 'all a waste of time, really; but Pleigher and I will devote an afternoon to confounding you,

, " you agnostIcs. Con looked uncomfortable. My own as­

surance and Vic's apparently hardly counted with him. Still, he said, "Well, I'd like to see the test."

"Me, too," spouted Hotshot.

"You're all invitl'd." Einkorn announced.

He was 'as good as his word. 'Fifteen minutes later, he was back from the phone: "Pleigher says to come around at 3:30 tomorrow."

Pleigher, with Einkorn in close attend · ance, greeted us: "Gentlemen, this b

He nodded to Einkorn who named U~

all in turn and concluded: "Dr. Denker."

"Excruciating pleasure to meet YOll,

ah. fellow chess players," Dr. Denker boomed. He was a large and, well, loft)' type. "I am not myself much of a player but do enjoy chess as a small·time hobbY. a trifle which I prognosticate with hyper_ assurance this computer"- here he waved vaguely at a bank of quiescent. eyeJets-· " will cnmpletely master.

Pleigher tapped his keys, the buzz be­gan again, then ceased, and all was silence for a moment- which added to the effect.

A snap, all lights on the panel went out and then a red one blinked on.

The doc said, "Oh, dear." And Pleigher got up and went ouL

Einkorn- he had become unhappy and unhappier all afternoon---asked apprehen. sively; "What happened."

He got no reply. Hotshot put in: "Yeah, wot happcn?" The doc glanced about, settled on Ein·

korn, then apparently could not hear his mournful expression and turned to Con as the next most sympathetic; "To put it briefly, a fuse blew."

Silence. Then Hotshot sounded off: "I knew it,

I knew it-da p~ition was too tough for d,-- hal 'n you said it heat Fischer. Huh, it couldn't even tink up une single move here, it couldn't"

"1 didn't say Fischer," said the doc. "As a matter of incontrovertible fact, I didn ' t profess it prevailed against anyone, 1 said, 'It played well against Lasker.' "

Hotshot was not to be denied. "Yon said it , you said it beat topnotchers. I know it, you said it- well, YOll let it out, you heat topnotchers. You, I said, not dat machine."

"Gentlemcn," said the doc looking from Derringer to each of us in turn. Some· where his urbanity had gone.

"I'm afraid, Doctor," said Einkorn, "II was I who related that Magicount had defeated three top.rated players."

"Hm," said the doc. "Well, you've put us in a rather false position, J am afraid. Good play, yes ; winning play, not quite.

"Very weU, gentlemen . You win dis"­he grimaced-"I mean this game, if you choose to regard it so."

'·How do you, Doctor?" asked Con. "Wel!, a fuse blowing is an accident." "Hey!" cried Hotshot. "None 0' dat.

It comes from strain, don ' t it. We wore it down!"

"Oh, very well," said the doc testily. "But just consider tllat the 'strain,' as you call it, is from continued usage, not just this game, not just this one Jlo~ition, this one move."

" 'N how many .games has da perfumed, doc?" If the doc had bitter, Hotshot sounded furious.

The doe began: "The program has·--'" "Say, Con ," cut in Hotshot, "Wot's wiL'

dat 'Da program has' stuff?" "He has a point there, Doctor," said

Con. "How many gamcs has thili computer played?"

"Well, Lasker yesterday, the three top­raters and two eXllcrimental games."

"S' I" I I H I "S' IX. S lOutC( ots 101. IX games. Know how many I played? Six tousan', and I ain't blew no fuse!"

CHESS REVIEW, AUCUST, 1965

"Gentlemen," said the doc. "I think this sesRion is terminated. We can accom· plish nothing of point now."

As he ushered us out, he added: "Magi­count has worked on many and vast projects. It did not 'wear out' just on this position or on the pitifully slight effort it has pUl into chess. Why, just last month. it completed the full details for Ihe federal plan to ensure the ready cir. culatiun (.f coins, despite the current ~hOl·tage. Naturally, there has becn wear and tear un the mechanisms " he broke off looking at Hotshot. Hotshot wa~ Ilawing uver his small change. "Only $1.14." he said, "'N dat machine guin' to be pUllin' ils hex on it? Hurry up. fellers. t guU-a get out and stock up on . ,. COlli S.

The gOlld doctor slammed the door.

On the way tu the corner, Einkorn , un­hallpier evcn than before, came out with: "Of course, the fuse hlowing was, cr. phony. Douht computers have any?" He looked at Con.

"Oh, anything electric needs fuses:' Con reillied. "Save~ blowing of valuable parts. But there was no nverloll(ling of circuil ~ here. No, ~ome gadget blew, a defective or over·worked part."

H"t shot wasn't having any of that. "But it hlew on our po~ition. Oa machin e couldn't call a move, 'n dey hadda have an nut, dey did:'

"COllie off it, Hol~hot. ThaI was C(l·in. cidence." said Con indifferently.

Hotshot regarded him doubtfully, then ·-impressed by Con's manner, prohably­conceded, the fuse, that is. He could; he still had a main point, and he made it. "Yeah, supposin' okay- still, we won cia ball game. I'd win it every lime."

"How's thai?" I asked curiously. "Ba, any time I gotta playa confuter,

I get in a clock game, see? 'N 1 arrange to short ria city power. Howzat?"

"Nnt with a club clock. They're all elcctric." I said drily. "Say, Vic"- I threw in while Hotshot was still sputter­ing- "how'd y l1U know the 'haunt' would

the subway; "Come on, you promised to tell."

"All right," he said softly. "But lets ab~quat11 1 ate the vulgarians. No, tip Cun the high sign; he desen'es to know." And Vic engaged Einkorn and Hot shot in a decoying line of persiflage.

Vic and I sought The Captain's Table, not 100 long a trip away, and wait ed for Con. When he came, Vic hcgan his ex· planation.

" It's simple, grievolls1r. The machinc"{ ignore or he impervious to any huunt-

but thc human agency II"es C<Hlle in:' "1 knew it !" The shuut rung in lily ear.

Con and Hot~hot , of course, were baf· fled. and Vic had to repeat thc whole laic of the haunte(1 chess sct. He got it across only wi th difficulty.

"So now, you see," I took up--I saw the whole now, and Vic's telling would have killed the eutire evening- "the doc and Pleigher ran off the moves and saw the 'haunt' on QR2. There was, in their ('yes, II whole extra Rook against them. So, whil e Ihe machine came back with a legitimate move-if WI' concede, jUH for the sake of argument, that it can playa hit of ches;; -Hotshol, will ya shmldup a minute. hnh!" '

It worked. Hotshot shut up. "Well, the machine offered, probably,

1965 1st Tournament of Peace

By DR. PET AR TRIFUNOVICH

This tournament is designated "The Peace Tou r­Il1.ll1ltml" in connection with the victory o f the Allies in World War II . The last da y of the tourn ament, Ma)' 9, co· incided with the date of victory and th e cllpi­tulation of Germany, May 9,1945.

The organ ize rs intended to SlImlllon a ll the bei:il players of the world and thus present a sort of un· officia l world championship. But such was Car from the evt!nt uid ity. In the first place, the Soviet contingent

was not its best. T he organ izers looked for Pelrosyan, Botviuuik , Tahl , Spa ssky, Gell er and Smyslov . Instead of the chess SIIIlS, however, clime sIal'S of the second lll llgnilude: Antoschin and Gipslis, th ough Petro­syau and I3rollstein did come.

A general view of th e tournament hall

Black's most powerfully posted piece on his QB-I. Note [hat , after 13 H-nZ, Blad! ean not try 13 .. . N-R-I because of 14 P-QN4, NxB 15 Qx:\" wsting Black a piece. Another advantage of t his Rook maneuver is that White's Queen Knight {,an go to e ither Q2 or QB3 and. espe· dallY if Dlacl, attempts to secure his Knight on Qn·1 by P- QH4. then White 's Knight can immediately occupy QN~ _

12 . . . . 13 QN-Q2 14 P- K4

0 - 0 8-Q2 · . . .

This is not an attack ing move as in the usual I'Hl"iations of the Queen 's Gambit. White's idea is to obtain more space, especially for his Queen and his King Bishop which are in terfering with eadl other.

14 . . . . KR- Ql Blae1{ simply looks for good del' elop_

ment for his pie(;es and succeeds. His pieces are healthily developed und hI'! has a strong Knight which attacks vul_ nerable spots in White's CH mp (K5, Q()

!'l1ld QN6) .

15 Q- K3 · . . . White reinforces his Queen Knight

Pawn a nd secures a retreat 1"01' his King Bis hop.

15 . B-Kl 16 8 - K2 · . . .

Not 16 P-QN4. NxRP! 17 RxN, P - QN4 as IVhite loses his Queen Knight Pawn.

16 . . . . P- QR4! Black thwarts the th reat of 17 P-QN4!

NxNP 18 Q-B3. SO it was important to fortify the Kn ight on QB·1. As cmnpen· sation, White has QN5 for his Knight. Both sides are opera ting only with purely positional elements.

17 N-84 8-Bl Black has secm'ed all vital poiJlt~ and

(",Ill now begin his CO Ullterplay.

18 N- Q4 N_N5 Logieally, Black avoids exch anging

Knights as his are stl·onger. 19 QR-81 P- QN3 20 R-Q2

This doubling of Hooks on the Queen file will lead to exchanges favorable f01" Black whose minor pieces are more ef.

t = check; t = db!. check: § = dis. ch.

\ CHESS REVI EW, AUGUST. 1965

Another v iew: T rifunovich expected us to ident ify the players, but tha t requ ires a magnif ie r

feclive. Wh ite otlght in stead to t ry to s wap minor pieces: e.g. by 20 N- B2 01' 20 N- N5! 13xN 21 PxB after which \Vhite is "ertainly not the worse off_ And, in the last line, 20 . . . Q->.'I 21 B- K5 secu res Q6 for White.

The best way to swap Rool,s.

22 N- R3 P-K4 24 RxR R- Q2 23 N/4_ N5 25 RxR

26 N- 84 . . . . 26 B- 134 Is more precise. The Knigllt

Now 28 B- B4 is bad because of 28 .. . 13x13 29 Nxl3. Q- Ql 30 Q-Q2, Q-Q6 e tc. cr 29 .. :\"/4- QG with the t hreat of 30 ... 13-13'i.

Black casts bnt on e eye on H6 for his Queen.

By WALTER KORN International Judge for FIDE

THE FIGHTERS AND THE STUDENTS OF CHESS The title thi ::; II IDut ll is actua ll y a species of pa raphrase of Ih al

for January 1962, "Composi tion and Practical Play." The earlier , arti cle described how accumula ted knowledge of basic ancient st ratagems proves llseful a t critica l juneL Ll l'es in modern games.

Then, as now, the t:Oncern of th is department is not with mid d le­game maneuvers bu t with artfu l conclusions in the end game whether in ove r-th e-board play or ill composed end-ga me studies, and also with th e corre lation of play and stu dies.

T hi s fascina ting relationsh ip was first explored in modern book fo rm ill A. O. Ge rbstm an's "S/wkhmatnl1)'fL Parli),a i Kompozotsiya" ( Russia ]930). Then the topic lay dorma ll! until the '50';;. Then the Roumanian (now Israeli) iVl il u Milescu begun systema tica ll y La collect mally a grouping of strik in g examples on thi s point. Seekin g a wider alldiem:e for his inventive ma nll script, he attracted A German tnmsiater of p restige in Dr. Hans Stand Ie, and the two came ou t with a book, "Das £ill maleills des EndspieLs" (\Valter de Gruyter & Co., Berli n 1965)-the title means something like "The Algebw of the Endgame" 0 1' "Funda­Ille ntub of End-game I\Ii'<lstery."

Sta rting with a position fl'om the I ~lter

book, this artic le will then lurn to an older spe(:\men and then to tll'O qu it e recent instances of assoeialed types all in the fashion of \'intage ~li1e~clI ,

In a sense, most or us are ah'ead~'

familiar with this i(ind or elementary breakthrough, from one or another of the many prototypes in 0111' beginner's cUI'riculum.

White wins by 1 P- N6. and 1 .. , SPx!' 2 P - R6 ! or 1 . •• RPxP 2 P- B6 !

Here While wins in line with the ell'. mental")" school cHche: 1 P- K5, PxP 2 P- N5, PxP 3 P- B6 ! PxP .] P- R5.

The most interesting all(1 practical deviation for lllack is 2 ... K - Q3 3 P - B6, K-K3 PxKP, K - B2 ;) PXP, P-N4; but White slin preval1s by 6 K ..

Milescll produce s many startling ex. amples of his own and, as a res ult of Obsel'vant and Intelligent research, has projected an exquisitely original manu· script. It hs a pity, howel'er, in this wl'iter's opinion. that the authors are given as "Staudte and ~Iilescu . " Tlw deliberate revel'sal of the alphabetical order alJIJarently indiclltes 11 deddedly larger and more important conu'ibutioll to the work by the gifted doctor, Hans Staudte.

Actually, scrutiny by this writer dis . closes that Milescu provided the concep· tion, the spadeworl( Hnd the bulk as well as the spirit 01' the source material even though Karl Richte r, in a foreword . talks of Milescu's "initial idea" only.

Even if there has been very cousider. ab le linguist\(; elaboratIon by the Ger. man edItors of Milescu'S chessic s truc· ture, it seems. the ilt'ilI"ary effort has been overdone at the expense of reo quisite clarity. As a particular example, lhe table of contents would have lent itself ideally to a functional ~llld thematic description of the wondel'ful and ex. l"iting parallels !I1ustrated in this in. structive book. Instead, many and merely jO\lrnalese allego!'les dilute the essence of Milescu's stal'tling compal'isons .
