CHESS VS.

By DR. MAX EUWE and DR. WALTER MEIDEN

"This is a work written specifically fol' amateurs who play other ama­teUl·S. Based on the theory that the best way for the amateur to meet the errors of other amateurs is to study how a master would exploit those errors, Chess Master VS, Chess Amateur consists of a st'lies of twenty·fi ve copiously annotated games between master and amateur into which are woven comments .... takes up almost every aspect of the nature of chess. Star ting with games against beginners, to show how to derive the greatest advantage from gross errors, it continues wi th games of stronger amateurs whose errors are more subtle. Each game incl udes explanations or chess terms and develops concepts of chess and teaches chess techniques .... In short, the book contains a great deal of materIal or Interest to the amateur, much of which Is essential to understanding the game and considerable of which is not found in the t raditional chess book."- Jack Straley Batt.eli , Chess Revi ew. 314 pages, 25 games

An outstanding recent game, annotated by a former World Champion.

A LIABILITY OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP T IGHAN PETROSYAN claims as

a shadows ide of hi s otherwise very favored position as World Champion the fact that he has little opportunity for training. And he certainly has less chance to meet the strongest players of the world since he does not compete in vari­ous preliminary rounds for the World Championship. He considers his staying out of the Candidates Round especially as a se rious handi­cap in regard to practical training.

Therefore, he does lIot miss a single chance to participate in other strong tournaments, sllch as the in. ternational contests in Los Angeles in 1963 and Buenos Aires in 1964. And now again he has played on the first boa rd of his country in the team 10ul11ament at Tel Aviv.

His result at Tel Aviv, though not overwhelming, was very satisfac-

In the following game, we fully recognize the World Champion, His sty le is quiet, careful and position­ally based on an isolated Queen Pawn of his opponent's ; hut, after the mu til ation of the opposing Pawn formation, he concentratcs hi s at­tention against Black's wcak :;quare, KB4, His strategical plar is lard , ed wilh little combinHtions wh ich, in the end, break the sp irit of his Dutch opponent.

Altogether, the Pet ros),,,!! style shows great analogy with that of Capablanca who, too, was notoriolls fo r hi s almost faultless play, spiced with small venomous pinprieks. Only, much better than Capablanca, toda y's World Champion masters the theory of openi ngs,

Up-to-date opening analysis by an outstanding authority,

by DR. MAX EUWE Former World Champion

THE GRUENFELD GAMBIT THE theory of the openings con tains many unsolved

problems, a numbe,· of which OCC lIl" even in fre­qu ently played va r iations . The Jun eI' afford the prac­tical player a welcome opportuni ty for study _ For he can th en surprise opponents who have not gone deeply into those problems.

T he theme of thi s a rticle is one of those qu estions in the Gruenfeld Ind ia n Defense. It is a prohlem which must he conside red from two points of ,' iew. On the one s ide. the ga mbit playe r ca n ho pe to ohta in com pensa tion fo r his Pawn by taking adva ntage of his ra l)id mobili za tion of pieces. On the othe r, the ad ­versa ry may trust to hi s defensive capa bilities 10 ell­able him to ove rcome all difficulti es and finally verify the opin ion : "A Pawn is a Pawn," if not qu ite, indeed, "A Pawn is worth a l ittle trouble,"

From the fi rst d iagram (below), we can state two concl usions : First, i f Black does not wish to give up 1.1 Pawn, he ought to have played 5 ' .. P-B3 ( in . ~ t ead of 5 .. . 0 - 0). Yet that . .. P- B3 mea njS that Black refrai ns from th e forcef ul hand ling of the Gruen. feld by mea ns of an eventu al . . . P- QB4, the essence indeed of the whole Gruenfe ld system. So that Pawn sacrifice i ~, in a higher sense, fo rced. Second, Wh ite need not accept the sacr ifice, by 6 PxP, hut can play 6 N- 133, 6 R- Bl or 6 Q- N3 instead. Yet, in a ll these va r ia tions, Black obta ins vi rtually a hundred per cent counter play just by push ing his Pawn to QB4. SO, from a hi gher po int of view, the acceptance of the sac­r if ice is forced for W hite, too .

LeL us now consider the consequences of this tu rn " forced" on both sides ,

The opelliug, a Ruy Lopez, began: 1. P- K4., P- K4 2 N-KB3, N-QB3 :l B- NS, P-QR3 4 B- R4, N-B3 5 N-B3,

Cover scoring ta ble at line indicated, Set up position, make Black's next move (exposing table just enough to read it ) . Now guess White's 6 th move, Lhen expose it. Score pal', if move agrees; zero, if not. Make move actually given, Black 's reply_ Then guess White's next, and so 011_

By WALTER KORN International Judge for FIDE

ODDS AND ENDS Man is a hoa rde r. Sometimes, because biLlen by

bitter experience, he prov ides d ur ing the seven fut for the seven lean years. Or because he feels insecure without a reserve to fall back on in times of need (and, ironicall y, then his stock proves to be moth-eaten!) . Or, fi na lly, because hoard ing gives hi m th e i ll usion of possession (a lthough the weight only ties hi m down).

Walter Korn

Because your ed itor "hoards" chess literature (hut just for a str ictly l imited period of time !), he ClI ll at times provide addi tional info rmation requested hy

readers. Indeed , he must, in a sense, supply supplementary chess nou r· ishment since the readers in turn like to " hoard" or (to pu t it in modern elegance of express ion) to select, coll ect and keep complete a ll the desideru ta fitt ing unto a theme.

Therefore, your edi tor has sampled this time some dom ino points and bricks miss ing from the chain of previous topi cs. The chosen head­ings will have a fami lia r r ing for ou r longstand ing subscr ibers .

For the !lumber of Whi te pieces left on the boal'd leaves illega l (or shall the editor say impossible?) t h e status of Black's Pawns. The Pawns would r equire more captm'es to gain thei r places than there a l'e White men missing.

McPherson therefore comes up with a general I'eduction of materia \. and a mate in se l·e ll. Sol R ubinoII' comes up with the same idea. But he materiRliz.;s it into a conr:rete diagram and a solution in s ix m oves. The previous proviso, voiced by the E xecutiye Edito r, that the artis t ic pOint of the a ncient original setting (page 364, Decembel' 1961), the ballet·like pirouettes of Blacl{'s Pawns alight to be retained if the theme is to have rea l merit, that proviso is un· fortunately not m et.

PAWN POWER IN CHESS

by HANS KMOCH

FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS of Pawn play are keys to chess strategy, govern lhe game hy reo

mote control. Basic relationships hetween Pawns and pieces illustrate how each can show to best advantage.

The author of this profound book defines a completely new set of terms which vigorously de· lineate the outstanding features of Pawn configura. tions and their significance. Originally published in Berlin, the book met with instant acclaim: "A sensational book ... a primer of chess strategy unparalleled since Nimzovich's Mr System . .. we con~ider it the best publir.ation on chess stralegy since the end of World War II," - Die Welt. "The publication of this outstanding book constitutes a turning point in the history of modern chess literature ..• can be highly recommended to players of all strengths,"-Aachener Volkueitung. "Kmoch's masterful explanation makes it per· fectly clear to the beginner as well as to the advanced playcr how the fate of a game depends on Pawn formation. A te~!book of the first order." - Arbeiter. Zeilung. "One of the few books which, at a glance, one can recognize as an im· morta!''' - Chess.

CHESS REVIEW', (1965) Seventh United State, Open

POSTAL CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP The Eighteenth Annual Golden Knights

THE current ed~tion of the Golden K,nighls touma.ment is_now, under . way, and cntnes are acceptable ulltd NOlJember 3D, 196;,. It IS COil ·

ducted under CHESS REVIEW's Rules and Regulations for Postal Chess, II ~ mailed .with assignments, and with the special rules given below.

In effect, the Golden Knights is an "open" tournament, without reo ga rd to our rating classes so far as the entry goes. The ratings are calculat· ed. however, quite as usual. We " rate" aU games in C HESS REVIEW tour­neys. It is an "open" tournament because we cannot pretend to " seed" cll ndidates for a championship and because it gives the weaker players a f ~ hance to gain by experience against stronger ones.

To speed. play for the first round, we group all the entries received g~ographically so far as possible. Otherwise, entries are matched off into 7 man groups strictly in the order of our receipt of their applica. tions. Qualifiers to the later rounds are grouped likewise in order of 'Iualification, but without regard to geography.
