UNITED STATES CHI!SS FEDERATION, 80 eut 11th St .... t . NEW YORK 3, N. Y.

CHESS lJFE

U. S. AMATEUR The new United States Amateur Chess

Champion is Frank Street, a 20-year-old Expert from Washington, D.C.

Street posted a score of 6lh·'h to fin­ish on top of a record-smashing field of 242 players at New York's Henry Hud­son Hotel over the Memorial Day week­end.

Tied with the winner in game points, but placing second and third respective­lyon median points, were Edgar Mc­Cormick of Elizabeth, N.J. and David Love of Rochester, N.Y.

The battle for first place was decided in the final round when Street and Love drew a game marked by numerous time· trouble oversights. McCormick, mean­while, downed Robert Wachtel to take second place.

Scores of 6·1 wefe turned in by Rich­ard Abrams, Plymouth Meeting, Pa.; Norman Hurttlen, Union, N.J.; Robert Durkin, Pleasantville, N.J .; E. S. Jack· son, Flushing, N.Y. and John Grefe, Hoboken, N.J. They fin ished fourt h through eighth in that order.

.. .. .. .. .. Street, who recently won the Wash­

ington (D.C.) Chess Divan tille, played in the 1964 U. S. Amateur in Asbury Park and finished 19th in a Held of 141.

This year's defending champion, Mi· chael Hailparn, fin ished 24th with a score of 5-2.

• • • • • Adjudications were handled, with his

usual efficiency, by grandmaster Arthur Bisguier . The huge f ield made Bisguier's task a far from easy one, and at one point Arthur spent five minutes "ad· judicating" a post·mortem!

• • • • • The 19615 Amateur had the largest

turnout of any weekend tournament in the U.S. so far. The previous record (224) was established at the Eas tern Opcn in Washington, D. C. in 1963.

• • • • • The field included three fo rmer U. S.

Amateur ehamps: Edgar MeCormick (1961), E. S. Jackson (1942 & 1944), and Michael Hailparn (1964). Many other former champions were ineligible, sinee their last published ratings were in thc master class. .. .. .. .. ..

The turnout of women players at the Amateur also probably set a U.S. r ec· ord-15 ladies eompeting for the Worn· en's Championship. Defending cham· pion Zenaida Huber finished second to Eclesia ("Jo") Cestone.

• • • • • Joe Reinhardt, Gerald O'Flaherty and

Bill Goichberg divided the directing chores. Fortunately, an extra room was available at the last minute to handle the overflow of entries. The tournament was originally scheduled to be limited to 200 players. .. .. .. .. ..

Next year's Amateur?-Probably in New York with 300 players the mini· mum goal.

JUNE, 1965

GORE WINS The 1965 Ph iladelphia Championship,

sponsored by the Philadelphia Chess As· sociation and played at the new quar­ters of the Franklin-Mercantile Chess Club at the Hotel Philadelphia, drew a large entry of 112 players over the weekend of June 11-13.

New York master James Gore, whose score of 5~2·lh includcd an upset vic­tory ovcr grandmaster Pal Benko, placed [irst in the standings, edging out sec­ond·place Joseph Sha[fcr on median points. Shaffer, however, as the highest­scoring Philadelphian, was ollicially awarded the city title.

Benko, finishing in third place, led a group of players with 5·1 scores. The others, in order of linish, were John Grefe, Rohert Dur kin, E. S. Jackson, Wil· liam Bragg and Michael Hailparn.

The large fi eld included 25 masters and exper ts and 18 juniors. Art Cassel­man was the T.D.

ILLINOIS OPEN Robert Byrne and Ed Formanek scored

61,2 points in seven rounds to split the first two prizes in the 1965 Ill inois Open, played in Chicago on May 28-31. Next in line, with 6 points, were Dr. E. l\Iartinowsky and Allen Kaufman.

Other prize winners in tbe 146·player field were : Class A-John Nowak, Troy Armstrong, C. Ramas (all 5·2); Class B­Dave Sillars (4lh); Class C-F . Merto­gul, J. Bikuleius (each 4); Class D-E. Pointer, K. Krogh (each 2lh); Unr ated­Robert Aten (4); Woman's Prizc-Sara Kaufman (4); Junior Prize-Ralph Tob­ler (5ih).

CENTRAL MICHIGAN Lloyd Kawamura edged out Shane

O'Neill for first place in the 75·player Central Michigan Open, played in Lans· ing on May 29-31. Each scored 5% points in 6 rounds. Paul Poschel, yield­ing two draws, was third with 5-1.

A. WYATT JONES We were saddened to learn from USCF Secretary Marshall Rohland of

the death, earlier this year, of A. Wyatt Jones. Mr. Jones, a resident of

Shreveport, La., was seventy years old.

Mr. Rohland writes: "He helped save the USCF during its darkest hours

back in 1951, quieting the discord then present in the organization and

personally assisting at a time of grave fi nancial crisis. His passing is not

only Shreveport's loss, it is a loss for all who are engaged in the promotion

of American chess."

THE NEW U.S. WOMEN'S AMATEUR CHAMPION, Eclesia Cestone of W. Orange, N.J., gives a brief endgame lesson to Grandmaster Pal Benko. USCF Senior Master Mike Valvo (standing) takes the opportunity to pick up a few pointers, too.

CHESS LIFE

Mastery and Misery by PAL BENKO

The following games were played lasl autumn in the chess Olympiad at Tel Aviv. Both are interesting. with s im­ilar endings that illustrate the difficulty of defending a position with isolated pawns against determined endgame technique.

QUEEN'S GAMBIT DECLINED (Torrosch Defense)

Pal Benko Klaus Darga (U.S.A.) (W. Germany)

1. P·Q4 N·KB3 2. P·QB4 P·K3 3. N·KB3 P·Q4 4. N-B3 P·B4 5. BPxP NxP 6. P·KN3 ....... .

More usual here is 6. P-K3. (Black can equalize more casily after 6. P-K4), The text is an old move that Alekhine used to play.

6, ........ PxP 6 . ....... . , N-QB3; 7. B·N2, NxP; 8. KN x

N, NxN; 9. PxN, PxN; 10. QxP, QxQ; 11. PxQ, B-Q3 leads to an even game, as in Alekhine-Euwe, 1937.

7. NxN QxN 8. QxP QxQ

An interesting try here is 8. . ....... , Q-QN4!? as playcd by Korchnoi against me in the Candidates Tournament at Curacao, 196:2. That game continued: 9. P-K4, Q-N5ch; 10. QxQ, BxQch; 11. B·Q2, BxBch; 12. KxB, and White was Icft with a slight advantage. White won in a long ending.

9. NxQ B-NSch 10. B·Q2 BxBch 11. KxB B·Q2

In a game Alekhine·Euwe 11 ....... .. , K-K2; 12. B-NZ, R·Ql; 13. K-K3 was played and Black had problems develop­ing his Q-side. The text move was recom­mended by Alekhine as an improvement, but neither player was familia r wi th all this.

12. B-N2 13. NxN 14. BxBch 15. QR·Bl 16. K·K3

N·B3 "xN Px"

O-O·Och K·B2

Alckhine says that Black has an easy defense in this Rook ending. Is it so? During the game a master came over to

JUNE, 1965

me and rcmarked that grandmasters used to give draws in such positions. I replied that grandmasters like Rubin­stein and Capablanca used to win such endings!

17. R-B4 R·Q3 18. R-QR4 R·Rl 19. R·QBI P-QR3 20. P·N3 K·N2 21. R·N4ch K-B2 22. R·N4 ....... .

What looks like a beginner's strategy of attacking pawns is actually a maneu· ver to weaken Black's K·side.

22. ........ P·N3 23. R-KR4 P·KR4 24. R·KB4 P·KB4 25. R-Bs R-QNl 26. R· Rs R·N4!

R·QI Black, in time pressure, hasn 't played

the best. He shouldn't have allowed White to open the king. knight file. but he thought he would be able to seize this line for himself. This was not need· ed , as Black already controlled the only open file . Instead of moving his king side pawns, Black should have proceeded with ........ , K-R4 and ........ , N·N3, or with .. ....... R-Ql ; ........ , R·QRl ; .. ... ... . K·B4; and ........ , P·QN4; winning the rook pawn. Black now hopes for 39. R-KN2? R­Q8ch! ; 40. KxR, N·K6ch and 41. ......... NxR, winning the king rook pawn.

39. K·K2 R-KNI 40. K·B2 R-QR1

The last move in time pressure. Blaek was worried about repeating the position. 40 ......... , R·Ql should have been playcd. Alter 41. K-K2, K-R4 Whitc would almost be in Zugzwang. The text move unneces· sari ly allows Wh ite to exchange his pas­sive k night.

Black prevents any counterplay by the White rook. After 42 ......... , RxP; 43. R-Q6, R-B5 ; 44. RxP, RxP; 45. R·B5. the outcome would be unclear .

The game was adjourned here, and White sealed his move. When the U.S. learn started to look at this position, some suggested 43. R·H2, dcCending the pawn. I didn' t think that we should look at this move at all , since alter 43 . ........ . R-R4j 44. P-B4, R-B4; 45. R-B2, P-N4

would win a pawn without giving White any counterchances. 1 didn't think that a player of my opponent's catagor)' would make such a move. It looked as though he surely would have sealed 43. K·K3!, and after 43 . ........ , RxP; 44. R-KN2. with active counterplay. Indeed, after looking at this line, I couldn't find a sur e win tal' Black. I was even considering not taking the pawn (after 43. K-K3) and playing 43 ......... , R-KN!; 44. K-B2. P-84, etc. I was so busy looking for a win against 43. K-K3 th al I even arrived late for the resumption of the game. When the sealed move was revealed, I received one of the biggest surprises of the OlympiCS; the sealed move was 43. R-R2 ' after all! I didn' t play the obvious 43. .. ...... , R·R4 because I was afraid that my opponent had found a drawing line (he hadn't , as was revealed during post-mortem analysis) and also because I hadn't looked at the line at all. In-stead, I played 43 .......... P-QN41. After I had made this questionable move which threw away the win, my opponent took off his jacket and prepared to play 11

long session. Ho had surely expected to lose after 43 ......... , R-R4!

43. R·R2 P-QN4? 44. P·R5 P-84 45. K-K3 P-B5 46. P·B4 ... .....

After this move, insuring active co un­terplay, Black has no real winning chances.

CHESS LIFE

ZAGREB Borislav Ivkov of Yugoslavia and

Wolfgang Uhlmann of E. Germany tied for first place In a strong international tournament played in Zagreb, Yugoslavia (rom April 12 through May 9. World Champion Petrosian, who lost onc game (to Hungary's Lajos Porlisch) was rele­gated to th ird place.

Three of the players in this lourna­mcnt- Ivkov, Portisch, and Larsen- wiJI soon be playing in Ca ndidates Matches. (Ivkov will pial' Larsen and Portisch will play Tal ), Larsen must considerably im­prove on his recent performances if he is to have a chance. Portisch continues to show impressive Corm and his match with Tal promises to be a hard·fought and bitter encounter.

Notable in the results from Zagreb was the poor showing made by the Soviet contingent as a whole. Bronstein only succeeded in posting an even score against the first fou.rteen players while Antoshin and Gipslis lost games even to the lail-e nders. (See erosstable)

The 25th Daniel Notcboom Memorial, playcd in Noo,!"dwijk, Holland in Febru· ary, saw the return to tournament play of fo rmer World Champion Mikhail Bot­vinnik. Botvinnik is now 54 years old, but he went through the fie ld at Noord­wijk with the grcatest of ease, fini shing a fu ll I if.! points ahead of second-place Pctar Trifu novich. Bent Larsen's threc losses in so short a tournament (plus his Later poor resul t at Zagreb) indicate that he must clearly be regarded as the unde! rdog in th e! upeom ing Candidatcs :M atch against lvkov.

CARIBBEAN CHESS HOLIDAY!

C H E S S - The Story of Chess Pieces from Antiquity to Modern Times BY HANS and SI EGFRIED WICHMANN

Ooer 200 alustratiOOl The origins of the game of chess are lost in obscurity.

Legend and fable attribute the game to ancient civi lizations, older perhaps thon 4,000 years. The ea rli est known author­ity is a tenth-century Arabic author, AI Mas'ud i, who de­scribes life-size Indian chess sets carved in ivory in the forms of men and anima ls. None of these Indion pieces survived, but a figure of Arabic workmanship in the sa me sty le does exist , and it is wi th this first acknowledged chess piece tha t the magnificent photographic record of chessmen begins in this book.

For religious reasons, the Arabic p ieces cou ld not be representotiona l. They took symbolic forms, evolving loter, in the Christian world, into figures qu ite unrela ted to the original Ind ian pieces. Chess sets have si nce been made from ivory, walrus bone, porcelain, blown glass, quartzite, ala­baster, coral, all monner of woods, and a wide range of metals-from the jewel-studded go ld and silver sets of kings and princes to the high ly stylized stainless steel pieces of today.

Hans a nd Siegfried W ichma nn have traced the develop­ment of the meaning of the chess p ieces and described their artistic execution. Over two hundred il lustrations, many in co lor, show the finest and rarest chess pieces in the wo rld .
