Rossolimo and Sherwin Lead Field In Open at End of Sixth Round

The U. S. Opcn Championship at Milwaukee drew the unprecedented field of 181 players, ol which around 40 were from the Master and Expert Classes, to become both the largcst and strongcst Open event in American chess history. Numerous upsets occurred in the open ing rounds with CUrt Brasket, recovering lrom poor form at Colorado, de· leated Arthur Dakc, while Walter Grombacher scored a startling victory over I. A. Horowitz.

Almost every state was represented by at least one player, while France, Canada ond Cubtl in the persons of Rossolimo, AndeNlon, Haley and Florido added international color to the event. The majority of the ranking U. S. Masters, headed by U. S. Champion Larry Evans, are in the list of contestants, augnlented by reccnt European arrivals ol strength yct to be proven in Zemgalis, Pitschak, Dreibergs, and many others. A number o( younger play· ers came from Kansas City, includ· ing the winner, U. S. Junior Champ-ion Saul Yarmak.

Listing the ranking players at hazard, these include: li'rank R. Anderson, Hans Berliner, Arthur B. Bisguier, Curt Brasket, DonaJd Byrne, Karl Burger, James ' Cross, Arthur W. Dake, J . F. Donovan, Larry Evans, Jose Florido, Eliut Hearst, I. A. Horowitz. Alex Kevitz, Dr. Ariel Mengarini, Max Pavey, Nicholas Rossolimo, A. E. Santa-siere, Albert Sandrin, George Shainswit, James T. Sherwin, Her· man Steiner, Mlroslav Turiansky and Elmars Zemgalis-a list which undoubtedly is lull of omissions.

SECOND-RATE CHAMPIONSHIP? 8y u . S. Maste r CARL PILNICK

THE June 20th isue or Chess Life carried the an-nouncement of a change in the method of de-termining a challenger {or the U. S. Chllmpionship. The new system milkes all U. S. citizens holding a rating o( Expert or higher In the USCF rating list eliiibi c to particip"lc in a Swiss-type tournament, the winner to have the right to playa match with the present champion in 1954 for the title.

In a letter dated July 3rd scnt by Harold M. Phillips, USCF pr£sidcnt, to all those eligible to pi a)" the following information wa'l a(ldcd : (8) The tournamen t is to take place in Philadelphia, Sept. 11·20Ih, and will be a ten-round Swiss, (b) The entry fcc will be 825, with the "hope" that rirst prize would be at least $250.

There is no doubt that the USCF Directors have (ull aulhorily to activate this new system. There is also no doubt that by so dOing they have made the U. S. championship a second·rate chess event.

To eJV)lain this statement, let me poi nt out wll1ll I believe is the basic misconception which inrl u· enccd the Directors into taking their action. The purpose of a chess championship tournament is not mcrcly to find a winner, but to match the best playeNi against each oth.r, The USCF is presently con-ducting an excellent campaign to stimulate new interest in chess and incrcase the number of active playcNi. As one phase or this pm-gram, tournaments like the U. S. Open are held all over the country and ar1! becoming annually larger and more successful. This is won-derful. bul the U. S. championshi p is, in chess as in any other sport, still supposed a must repeat) to match the best players ago inst each other. Why do events like the World Series, the Davis Cup matches or the Olympic games generate so much excitement? Be-cause the fans know that each of these is a "than-which-lhere-is-no. whicher," that is, the best. Don't the basebal1 people want to dC!velop better playeNi and more Cans too? Sure they do, but they don't try it in the World Series. They de-velop fArm !';ystf'ms nr T,ll/tips' n:tys or midgets in the outfield or what-have-you. The Series is reserved for the best. And does this increase snobbery or narrow the popular appeal or t he game? Which base-ball game is more difficult to get tickets to, t he World Series or the Yankees against the Browns?

With this in mind, consider in detail the new system and nlso the reasons given for the stillbirth of the old plan.

(1) The Directors say "The three-year cycle plan for the U. S. Championship ... has been found to be unworkable. No area qualify-ing tourn aments were conducted in 1952. . due to the diHiculty in breaking the country into equ itable areas, and finding an organization in each area to organize and con-duct such a tournament." It seems to me that the "organization to or-ganiZe and c(mduct" is none other than the USCF itself. and in aban-doning the plan without trial the Directors have also abandoned their responsibilities.

The USCF Board of Directors have amended the Championship plan so that most of t he ob jection s, voiced by Master Pilnick, have been removed. For details on the revised p lan. refer to page one.

(2) The proposed Swiss System tournnment, i t is claiml'd . "is de-signed to select one challenger for the Title-and all authorities agree that the Swiss System, as proposed, will accomplish this end." All au-thOl·ilies do not agrcc, but let us concede this poin t. As anyone who has ever competed in n large Swiss loul·nament will testily. below the first two or three places the results and standings are almost meaning-less as a determination or r elative p laying strength. Certainly. the rat-ing statisticians have a mathemati-cal for mula for obtaining this in-for mation, but the ratings caOllOt be any more rel iable than the tour nament itself. (Everyone knows the old swindle whereby it can be "proved." by comparative SCores against different opponenb, that the Vassar J _ V. team is 72 points better than Notre Dame. And let me also inject parentheticaUy the notion that the few glaring incon-grui ties on the rating list at pre!';-ent are almost exclusively the re-sult of Swiss tournament results). To use these results, for example, to decide whether a particular player ran.ks 5th or 6th in the country is not only misleading but foolish. Only in complete comj)l't i-lion with eoch other can the rela-tive ronk i n~s of this country's top players be conclusively estoblished.

(3) The new tournament is oo!'!n to aU players with a rating or Ex-pert or higher. The Spring 1953 rating list contains 48 players with the rank of Master or higher (N-eluding the Masters Eme rlLi and the provisionally-r ated Schmidt and Zcmgalis). and 111 players with the r ank of Expert. Of course not all these nlayers can compete. but the possible total is still ] 59 en-tries. Wh at would winning such a tournament prove? Nothing more

than that the winner was capable or doing well against a chance com-bination or three or {our players much Weaker than himself and four or five in his own class. Is this considered tI cha mpionship tourna· ment? I wa nt to see players like Bisguier, Kramer, the Byrnes bat-tling each other, not lattenini hall their scores against players they shou ld beat handily nineteen Umes out of twenty. If the purpose of tho:! tournament is mcrely to select one challenger, I sny do away with the tournament complete ly. 'fhe USCF rating list, while not pcrfC

of the Di rectors. In short, use the rating list, use it as it was Intend-ed to be used. U time is available {or nineteen rounds of play. invite the 20 top-rated players to com-,Jete in a round-robin. If time is ayaHable (or only nine rounds, In· Ylte the top 10 but keep the tourna· ment a round·robin. If a player is unable or unwilling to compete, the next highest player fills in . If no lime is available, top doe lakes all. Of course there will be some inequities but the rating list is the most accurate and impartial tool available. If we don't usc it lully 101" chanlJl lon~hjp events, what do we use it fo r ?

Finally, after the entrics are completed, would it be too unortho· dox to poll the players themselves as to the most mutually convenient playing dates and location? Would thrones totter and castles crumble?

To sum up, I think the new plan is a clear case of the Directors acting in good fai th but nonethe. less choosing whai is not the best, but the easiest for them. What can be done? At th is late stage, prob· ably nothing, but if enough pn ... tes ts are heard in Milwaukee, f u· ture U. S. championships may lignin be something more than hodge-podge, grab-bag cvcnts.

THE ELEMENTS OF CHESS By International Master HERMAN STEINER

Hypothetical Game Illust ra ting Principles, Rules, and Objectives

(Continued f rom issue o f Augus t 5 )

Now back to the game. Black is now, in chess parlance, on the move. He has to make his eighth move. It is indeed an important one. So far, he has made all the developing moves thai arc possible. He must determine what his op-ponent's· threats arc and what he intends to do about them. Fi n.1 l-Iy, he must decide upon his Qwn threats and whether he has any.

He considers, and sees that White can play his Jo' jrst Objee-live. Can Black nullify this threat or can he play his First Objective with safety? P-Q4 cannot be play-cd with safety, although it looks as if it could. Why not? 8 ......... , p.Q4; 9. B·Kl5, threatens 10. PxP. Black is compelled to make a few ex· changes in order to avoid losing F orce. This helps While to develop.

If you cannot prevent your op' ponent from achieving his Objec· tive w-ithout giving up more than the Objective is worth. then by all means you should yield. be· cause that docs not necessarily give your opponent a decisll/e ad· vantage. The only one wbich will give this is the Third Objedll/e-create a weakness and take adl/ant· age of it. Remember, a weakness is a target, either mobi le or sta· tionary, which can be attacked with more Force than that wit h which it can be defended, and un· less it can be gained, i t is not a weakness. If Space or Time ha l/e been gained by attacking this weak· ness, it is an advantage.

It is easily seen that when you are faced with the necessity of judging the position and making the winning move, you must know why it is the winning move. It is not enough simply to gain Force, Time, or Space, lor your opponent is not necessarily compelled to .l:!ive up the game; it is still to be won. and until your opponent finds it hopeless to continue and resigns, the best moves are still to be made.

Black has exactly the type of position jus t described. He does not want to disturb his develop-ment, so he ignores his opponent 's threat and plays 8 . ........ , 0-02

Alw IJla~k pi",.: 8. Develo p ing move Threat of F il"$t Oblec1ive to threaten his F irst Objective and develop. White, havini! an oppor· tunity to play his First Objective wUh a threat of a lark (p·Q5, plays 9. p.Q4 : tl TSt ObjectiVe with safety!

How doe~ he arrivc at this con· clusion? First he asks: "What does my 'opponent threatcn?" and read· i1y sees that the fork at Q5 is n major threat, for it will win either the Bishop or the Knight. There· fore , he makes a move which will nullily the threat of the fork. He may accomplish this in any lIf three ways: 1) by lJu)Ving ei ther of

sti tu ting the fo rk for greater value, or 3) by the }~orce which threatens I' - in this case the Pawn, which is the safest of the tht'ee moves. To avoid confusion let us lake each SCparately, aod in doing so remcm· bel' that with these th ree choices we have sub·choices, as it wen:!, related to the main choice. Agaill, under ellch 01 the!;e sub'choices, we have "sub·slIb·choices."

1. Moving the threatened Forces: .) B. Kt5 b ) BxB

2. Allowi ng the fork (p. Q·5)_an exchange for one of greater value (counter·threat ),

3, Removing th e Force whIch threaie ns the fork : a) BxP b) Ktx P cl PxP

Moving the thre,tened Force: The threatened Force is e ither Bishop or Kn ight, and we have, therefore, two alternative moves as above: B-Kt5,

Both arc infcrior. Thc fir~t , B·Kt5, is inferior because, although it does not lose Force, it does lose Time and Space. The alternative, BxB, is inferior for the same rca-sons. It should be discarded be· cause as cn n casily be scen, it opens up the Rook liIe for the opponent. In evaluating thc re-sult.:; of this move, account should be taken of the controlling F races belore and aCter the move.
