L lIuve noliced a fa il ing of chess publi­cat ions: they alwa)'s pr int diagrams fro m White's side ; also, in every problem or ending, White is always tI lt: '"hero."

This lead.'! to a onc·sidctlncs.'! frOlll which beginners fin d it hard to extricate them· selves. A friend who is learn ing the game td ls me he is so us(:d 10 sceing th ings from the White si,le tha t he j ust can' t play with Biaek. I had Ihe same d ifficult y, cla im it i5 the fault of text books that cling to this system hecause of " tradition."

This s itua tion can be remedied very simply by Ilr inting diagrams wilh Black at Ihe bOliom so the beginner can lea rn to see frolll bOlh s iddl, p lay either equally adcptly. Also. composers s hould make Black the " hero." Checke rs end inss a re made ind isc rimi nately. Why not so in chess?

Rodeo

When lh t: eX]Jan ~ ive Texans Jlut on a show, you can expect it to be the biggest and be~t of its kind. The U. S. Chess Federation Open Championship didn't fa ll short of these su perla tives. The largest en· try in the fOfty -eight year hi ~t ()ry of the t\'t:nt made it s eem more like a rodeo than 11 chess tournament. When the shoot­ing was over, grandmast er Isaac Kashdan emerged top hand . He lcti the eighty-fiv e contestants with 11 V2· 1 Y2. He had beaten , amon g others, Yanofsky, Steiner a nd U]vcstad, drawn with Kramer, Slmtasicrc and Cuellar to finish undefeated. Coupled with his second pl ace in last year's U. S. Cham pi onship, it made Kashd an's posi. tion as <JIlC ()f the lop U. S. players more wlid than eve r.

Runners·up were Canada's champion, ),outhful Dan ALe Yanofsky and Anthony E. Santasiere, winnCf of thc VCll tnor tOU f' ney. Each had 10·3. Fourth placc wcnt to :\Iiglld Cuellar of Colombia. lI e tall ied 9Y2"~Y:l ' An odd fea ture of Cucllar's sur· prise performance is the fa ct that th is is ouly h is third tournament in ten years of chc s~ !

George Kranwr, Au gusto Sanchez (an. other Colombian ) , Stcphen Shaw and Norman T. V;rhitaker were braekcted in fifth to eighth Jlosi tions wi th 9·4 each. Kramer shared the lead fo r the fir st sev· en round s but two successive losses put him out of the run ning. Whitaker also ranked ~ i gh but stumbl ed toward the end.

Staged at the White· Plaza Hotel by the Corpus Ch risti Chess Club, the tournament had the solid hacking of local husincss men and the Caller· Times. Sam E. Wilson,

iWEA TlNG IT OUT

J r., an oil operator, generously contributed $1,000 for fi rst p rize. This is surely a tr ibute to the energy of local sponsors of the event for Wil son had never played a single game of ch(;ss !

This cheerfu l cowgirl was, appropriate. Iy enough, the emb le m of the tournament.

Siddighls: The enormous cntry in· cluded pl ayers frOll! Mwenteen states, Puerto Rico and five foreign cmmtries (Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Mex ico and New Zealand). The group was so la rge thut only thirteen Swiss system rounds suf· fieed to run the event.

UI'~ct~ ~tlldded the early 1'0ll nds: Adams lost to Kcndall of Texas; Yanofsky to fifteen.yea r.old Larry Evans (see page 7).

Mex ico City champion Alfonso Fcrri..: must have gouen a shock when he lost to l\lrs. Mary Hain of IVliam i. Apparently he didn't reali ze how tough womcn players can be.

Herman Steiner lust the title he won last year at P ittshurgh but he kept some of his reputa tion. In the last round he

sweated out a 110 move victory over vet· eran master Edward Lasker.

MASTERS IN THE MAKING 2. Jim Cross ~md Larry Evans

By John Rather

•

THE runn ers-up in the reccnt U. S. Junior championship afford an interesting contrast in types. J im Cross of Glendale, California is tall, quiet and unassuming. At seventeen, he has been playing c11CSS

for only two years. Starting with Hoyle's Games on which so many have teethed, he learned quickly; soon he topped his school club's ladder. When he moved to Ca li fornia, he attracted the allention of I-lerman Stein­er who is always eager to help young players. Under the chessmastcl"s tutelage and by ullremitting study of mastcr games, Cross Llossorr\ed . He entered the first jun io r tournament in 1946 \vith 110 high hopes yet he fin ished fourth only two points behind the winner. Onlookers, impressed hy his imaginative p lay, predicted big thin gs for him. Hi s performance th is yea r has shown them to be r ight. Cross feels th at his big hand icap at Cleveland was lack of open ing knowledge. "One finds," he says, "the junior players study the openings a lot more enthusiastically than most of the older players." He mea ns to eliminate this flaw from his own play. When he does, J im Cross will be a force to reckon wilh in American chess.

Fifteen- yea r-old Larry Evans has an almost explosive enthusiasm for chess. He learned to play when he was six but paid little attention to th e game unti l seven years later. Hi s interest arollsed , he devoted hi m­self whole-heartedly to the task of improving. Play, study and more play was his formula. It paid d ividends in th e ri gorolls competition of New Yo rk's best clubs where even a rapid transit tournament has its turnout of masters . Evans was only sixth in the f irst junior even t but by early this year, he had improveq enough to tie with Santas iere for fourth and fift h in th e powerful Marshall Chess Club championship. At Cleveland, he justifi ed thi s excellent showin g. Evans has a gift for rapid t ransit. He even plays his tournament games in accelerated tempo. But it is just this impetllOsity- this hra~hness, if you will- which he must learn to curb if he is to become a really great player.

I SOLATED PAWNS are gent'rally regarded with distrust~evcn by expericnced

players. H ere, in the course of an ago gressive lioe, White voluntarily assumes one. Imagine the surprise of holh players when the " invalid" marches down the board to queen!

THE DECISIVE GAME

CHESS is primarily a struggle and, in fol. lowing the results of tournaments, we

look for the most exciling struggles we can find, Sometimes it happens to be a game unconnected with the top prize; at other times it is a brilliant battle of a la il·endeJ' against the winner (frequently the losses of great players are even better than their wins), But most often the best games are those between two leaders,

In this year's Soviet championship, it was anticipated that, with Botvinnik ab­staining, there would be a race between

• Keres and Smyslov. Up to a certain point the prediction was right. After nine rounds, G1tANIHI AS'l'ER REUBEN FINE

Smyslov was leadihg with seven points, while Keres and Bondarevsky were tied for second place with six and a half. Keres and Smyslov met in the tenth round.

Their game was full of surprises, Keres as White chose a quiet open· ing, After only a few moves, Smyslov was quile sa fe. Then he made a psychological mistake in an even position he rushed into complications, apparently in an attempt to win. The punishment was immediate and severe; after only eleven moves, Keres had a won game.

One loss does not spo il a tournament for a mastel', but it can go far. As in a similar situation with Botvinnik three years ago, the defeat seems to have depressed Smyslov. In the . first nine rounds, he had scored seven points ; in the last nine, he could only manag'e to get five, Of his seven wins in the tournament, five were scored in the first half, only two in the second, Keres, on the other hand, kept up a steady pace and finished a comfortable two points ahead of his rival.

II. 5 P - K3, NxN; 6 NPxN, P- KN3, 7 Q- H4ch, N-Q2; 8 B- R3, Q- B 2; 9 n.­K2, D- N2; 10 0 - 0, 0 - 0; 11 P - Q4, P - QR3; 12 P - B4, P- K4; 13 QR- Q1, KPx P; 14 PxP, P- N3, with equality (Keres· Fine, match USSR vs, U,S.A., 1946).

4 P-KN3 P-Q4 5 PxP

N ot 5 ... PxP? 6 P-Q4, transposing to the Rubinstein Variation of the Tarrasch Defense, which Is decidedly in White's fa vor.

6 B_N2 7 0 - 0 •

N_QB3 N_ B2

Keres gives this move a question mark; however, the fat a l mistake comes later. Simpler was 7 ... B- K2 and, If then g P- Q4. Nx N; 9 PxN, 0 - 0, transposing to ?. variation of the Catalan System which leads to an even game.

\Vhlle the text proper Is not a blunder, the spirit behind it Is. For with It, Smyslov prepares the establishment of a Pawn at K4, which proves to be his un· doing.

THE CONFIDENCE GAME

A LL other things being equa l, confidence wins games, For some unknown rea son , it

sparks the menta l ignition, d ispels doubts and promotes clcar thinking, Tn con tra st, thc timor· ous Milquetoast complex bewilders and be· fudd les.

This psychological factor ha s heen noted hy authoritics and laymen alike, "Ience, con· fidence builders of one kind and another are employed during the course of th e chess game. lames Mason , ill the "Art of Che~s," suggests I. A. HOROW ITZ

that, if your opponent takes a lon g t ime for a move, do not give him crcdit for making combinations, but give yourself credit for making him th ink, A local expert psychologizes himse lf before each game, "How," he asks him;;clf, "can anyone with a head shaped like that p lay chess?"

Evell th e masters resort to th e psycholog ical weapon. In th e preface to 11n earl y edition of Capablallca's " My Chess Carecr," th e author hoa sts, "I pla yed against the members of th e MHnhaHan Chess Cl uh and mowed the m dowll , olle by one, lIntilthey recognized my su per iorit y."

Defi nitel y, confidcnce wins games. In an end game, Horowitz 1Jef$U,~ Golornhek, H was abo ut to win a piece. He beamed the sa ti sfi ed ex· prcs" ioll of the cat th at swa llowed the canary. Con tagiously, his opponent despaired , rep l ied desultorily and res igned. All the time, however, the position could have ueen red uced ,to slll'eds by a simple rejoinder, with cverythill g off the board save II Bishop in Horowitz' favor. As yet, no known mcthod has becn HllllOUllced of mat ing with a lone Bishop!

Con fi dcnce and conceit go hand ill hllncl. In Napier's "Amenities," the a uthor remini sces: "Once while walking over \,\Ta terloo Bridge, in London , with stout hearted Teichman , we conversed of the in gredient s that associate to makc a chess p layer. I ventured a remark that, if he would mllilC one indispensablc in gredien t, I would name atl able player wholly d e;;; titut e of it. And Ri cha rd vcry tolerant ly said , 'Have you given

I I ' ;I'" a ny t loug It to vanity. 1\'0 one can accuse the topnotchers of modesty, false Or otherwise,

Jil a rece nt survey of Amer ican mastcrs, caeh agreed that he ought to head the li st, wi lh Reshevsky second, Tha t is as it ollght to be.

Thll s it is evident tha t the correct attit ude is to d iagnose one's own position and perform an autopsy on the opponent's. Move with impun ity, capt1lrc wi th a lacrity and resip:n with di gnity !

Profess ional conceit is universa l. Rogolyuhov hrags, "I win I a m While becall ';:e 1 am White, when I am Black heca use no~o I yu hov."

J'he idea Is to provoke White to over· extend his central Pawns by advancing them rapidly,

I n the early days oC chess (heol'y, when development was considered of para· mount import ance, sueh a plan wou ld be frowned upon. [<'or it was inconceivable at that time that one could afford to sacrifice several t em pi. merely to pro· voke a Pawn to the fifth ran k. Today, there exists a greater appreciation of the balance of position. A weakened Pawn structure may be sufficient compensation for development minus.

Today, it Is not a question of w hether B lack gets compensation. That is con· ceded. The question is, how much.

W hile B lack 's plans vary uncerta inly, White builds logically and consiste ntly. As his rew a rd , be ach ieve s a fine chance at a subtle sacrlfice.

Jesse P. Fa rber Dr. B ela Rozsa

W hit e Black 1 P- Q4 N-KB3 3 N- QB3 B_N 5 2 P_QB4 P- K3 4 P-K3 . . . . The popular reply today, because

frequent pla y a nd analysis has caught up with other moves , Q- N3 , P- QR3 and Q- B 2, and show n the Inevitable equal­Izing lin e fo r B la ck in each , 4 . . . . P-Q4 6 PxP 5 B- Q3 0-0 7 N-K2

p ,p N-B3

7 . .. P- B4 mai n tains tensi on in t he ce nter, especially agaInst t he P - K4 for which Wh ite Is Sllre to pia y ; but Black:, having the choice, probably want s t o avoid r e tu rning t o the usual and not ravorable bOOk l: ne, a s could be forced by 7 ... P - B 4 ; 8 P- QR3, BxN; 9 PxB.

8 Q- B2 B-Q3

Black's maneuvers now begin to be an ohject-less on , t ricky but ti me,wasting. Not in t he u sual, immed iate s en se; for here h e m oves a piece twice hut threat­ens . . . N- QN5 t o wIn t he "min or e x­chan ge" and compels 'White's 9 p - Qn3. In these re·adju stm e nts of h is position, however, Black loses time to W h It e who makes r egular developIng m o ves w he n­ever' he can .

9 P- Q R3 R_ Kl 10 B- Q2 P_QR 3

Here's another e xample. mack cannot fear 11 N- N5 , B- B!! after w h ich he ca n . . . P - QH3 and . . . B- Q 3 when eXi)edient. In fa c t , h ere he "waits" in hopes of 11 0- 0 , BxRP t h a nd a w innin g attack. (See the next game.)

11 P- B3 • • • •

Counteri ng that t hreat o f B xHP before castli ng and also preparing P- K 4.

11 . . . . P _ KR3

See what we mea n ? Attually, there is good rea son her e, too, for t he Pawn meak: Dlack wants to free his King Knig ht for' m an euve rs wi thout allowing BxP ch. There 's usu ally a reason of som e sort fo r any m ove. B ut , even w h en all the reasons are good, there's still a dubiOUS a rom a about one tempo.less m ove after another.

12 0 - 0 B_ Bl

, , 1

Again a r e ·a djus t men t. Black prevents P - K 4 fo r t he time being , by opening upon the wblte Queen P a wn. But , since h is snare remai ns unspru ng, he m ight better have saved m ove 10 a nd , in fact, m ove 8 also. With 8 ... R- K l and, when pushed, . .. 13- 131, he'd be temp i ahead of hlmseU by n ow.

13 P- Q N4 B- K3 14 N- N3 N- Q2

15 QN_ K2 16 B- B3

N_ N3 B- Q3

How that Bishop va cillates! P r'efe r able for B lack seems the .. . N- B5 so de vious ly pr epar ed. T rue, it leaves t he cen ter t o W hite after 17 BxN, P xD ; but Dlack has some prospects in a protec ted (after . .. P- QN4) pa ssed Pawn and the t wo B ish· ops- a nd his King B ishop at B1 would guard the hom e fron t.

17 QR-Q1 18 P-K4

Q_ Q2 · . . .

This objective is suprem e in games of this t ype, when it can be att.alned .

19 . . . . BxN 20 NxB 21 P xP

p,p NxQP

A nd Black ha s won a Pawn. Or has he? The virl.Ues of t his gam e now begin to shine. 'W h ite's every piece pr oves well placed- and , though the ' c risis is a ttained by the sa crifice of only a Pawn, t he com­bln a tfon is all the s ubtler. A Queen sac­rifice is v ir tually im possi ble of achieve · ment between be tte r p layers, t he offer of Ii piece is obviou s and so a Pawn sac is a comparatf ve r efi nement. Here, too, it s eems to fall t ruly by oversight.

21 Q- B2 N-N4

Having a ttacked t he Quee n as he won t he Pawn, Black now a ttacks a pi ece and Paw n , seemingly keeping the initiative, but attesting rathel' to t he depth of White's de ceptive t a lent.

22 B- Rl

Even by h indsight, It is not easy to decfde what Blacl! can do. He shrewd ly removes h is Que en from the line of the white Queen Rook, tbereby plans h is counter to ""'hite 's t h reat on the King Knight Paw n.

23 N- R5 B_ N5
