CHHS REVIEW, JULY, 1961
ROBOT CHESS
The apprehension expressed in your
n.'Iarch issue [People and Machines at the
Chessboard by Botvinnik, page 72] th aI
YOll llIay have printed too many articles
on "robot chess" is quite unfounded, I
am su re, judging from the co rre~ p on d ence
I get nn the ~ubjec t from chess player~
202 in many lands.
( don'l believe that Botvinnik know ~
a~ lillie of whal com pUler I)rograms de.
"elolled in our cOllntr), for Illaying ches~
have accomplished as the arlicle which
you rcp rin ted from Komsomoiskaya Prav-
da would lead one to think. The t ransla·
tion you recei"ed was probably nol ac-
curate, or the man who wrote the article
did not qu ite follow what Boll'i nn ik meant
10 convey. From the article, one would
assume that Botvinnik suffers from the
same misconception in which Barnic
Winkelman was caught when he wrote
Mall versus Machine for you in 1957,
thinking that a computer had to consider
cI'ery IlOssible move at every lurn of play
and calculate the consequences many
moves ahead. In my reply to that article,
1 cil ed a simple end.game posilion which
IL computer program comprising instruc-
lions of a very general type would solve
by analyzing JUS! 25 moves, while brutul
analysis of every possible move six moves
ahead would have necessitated testing
about 100 billion variations,
Dr. Claude Shannon, who firsl outlined
a computer program for playing chess
some 12 years ago and who already at
Ihat time indieated Ihe necessity for prac·
tically every refinement introduced in this
field since then, pointed out from the
start that a "supermechanical" type of a
chess player such as BOlvinn ik refers to
/'''to "'''''~ ~...,..>; O~~ '«110'5 -SO'MlNG.
~ G'M\l \l~\""S-nA- ~ "D=.oou.. \,
could never be built and Ihat. a program
for playing the game could hope to be
successful only if it enabled lhe computer
to select for analysis merely a few moves,
omitting from consideration as many al-
ternatives as possible which a human
player of fair proficiency would reject at
a glance as utterly useless. Thus, what
BOlvinnik is quoted as saying about com·
puler programmers in lending to build
"precise robot chess players" is quite in·
correct, at least so far as Ihe work done
in our counlry is concerned.
He is allllarelltty also unaware of the
fact that our chess programmers have, as
a matter of course, proceeded in a manner
similal' to the one he suggests, gradually
changing their instructions, or adding to
them, after testing what the machine
makes of Ihe orders it reeeives. Neither
does he seem to he familiar with what
has been written here abo ut our gaining
an insight, from such tests, illlo the way
a chess player thinks - or does not think
- nor ahout our conclusion that, while
theoretically possible, Ihe dcveiopmelll of
a program thal would elluhle a com puler
to play like a master is not to be ex-
pected, because it would take much more
time and money than the effort would be
worth. Once a computer has been shown
to be able to play chess at aU, no matter
how badly, and it has been demonstrated
that its play can be improved by refin-
ing the instructions, the whole problem
has lost its interest for all scientists who
do not happen to he ardell! chess fans,
because aU the chess program was in-
tended to prove in the first place was
that a machine Ilsing exclusively arith-
metical procedures could solve non_
numerical problems.
Possihly some day, a very rich chess ell-
thusiast will a gr'ee to spend the several
hundred thousand dollars it would take to
have a group of chess mas ters learn how
to program a modern digital computer
and to work for years on refining a chess
I)laying program and expanding the dec-
Ironic equipment to keep step with the
refinements found necessary, until the
machine produces a s<llisfactory result.
I am rather certain that no enlhusiast
fitting this description will turn up, and
Ihus I disagree with Botvinnik when he
says that the time will come when me·
chanical chess players will be awarded
the title of International Grandmaster at
FIDE congresses.

MASTER DATA PROVIDED
In a recent issue [April, page 127], one
of your readers requested an article on
interplay between Lasker, Capablanca and
Alekhine and other great masters - their
IHetime results vs. each other in tourna·
ment and match play. I submit the fol·
lowing comllilation which you are weI·
come to check on and use if you care to,
as a partial basis for some article along
the suggested line.
Lasker and Capablanca met at St.
Petersburgh, 1914 in 3 games, Lasker 1
to 0, 2 draws. The match at Havana,
1921, Capablanca 4 to 0, 10 draws. At
New York, 1924, Capablanca by 1 to 0,
1 draw. At ~Ioscow, 1925, a draw. At
Moscow, 1935, a win for Lasker. Notting.
ham, 1936, a draw. Moscow, 1936, result
or the game unknown to me. Result :
Capablanca 5, Lasker 2, 15 draws (ex-
cluding Moscow, 1936).
Lasker and Alekhine met at St. Peters·
burgh, 1914, Lasker hy 2 to 0, 1 draw.
Prior to this, they met once that I know
of, an exhibition game, a draw. In 1924,
New York, Lasker by 1 to 0, 1 draw. At
Zurich, 1934, Alekhine won. At Notting.
ham, 1936, a draw. Result: Lasker 3,
Alekhine 1, 4 draws.
Capablanca and Alekhine met at St.
Petersburg, 1913, whether tournament or
exhibition 1 don't know: 'Capablanca won.
At St. Petersburg, 1914, Capablanca by 2
to 0, 1 draw. At London, 1922, a draw.
At New York, 1924, 2 draws. At New
York, 1927, Capablanca by 1 to 0, 3
draws. The Match at Buenos Aires, 1927,
Alekhine by 6 to 3, 25 draws. At Not·
tingham, 1936, Capablanca won. At
AVRO, 1938, Alekhine 1 to 0, 1 draw.
Result: CapabJanca 8, Alekhine 7, 33
draws.
Here is the liCetime record compilation
of the great triumvirate (source, the rec·
ords in Reinfeld's The HIIllIan Side of
Chess, now published as The Great Chess-
masters alld Their Games) ;
Lasker, Capa, Alekhine
Total Games 519 567 1097
Games won 298 296 623
Games lost 57 . 35 113
Games drawn 164 236 361
% scored 73.2 73.0 73.2
HARRY SPEAII
Chicago, Ill.
• Mr. Spear gives a good deal more data:
most of which, Lasker vs. opposition, is in
Dr. J. Hannak's Emunl/.e! Lasker.-ED.
QUERY
Your young champion, grandmaster
R. J. Fischer, is a very remarkable chess-
player, but, away from the chessboard, is
he a complete moron? Forgive the query;
but, in an interview on our British radio,
he said:
a) Alekhine's games are "dull and un·
original" ;
194
b) Emanuel Lasker was "a weak
player" ;
Yes, I know he is still very young, and
I know that almost all grandmasters con·
sider their own genius to exceed that of
any other player, living or dead. Never·
theless, for anyone to express in Imblic
such ludicrous opinions about two of Ihe
greatest players of all lime really does
lead one to suspect that, anart from his
hrillianc!;! in shifting the pieces around,
he is a complete idiot.
May I take this opportunity to say how
much I enjoy CHESS REVIEW and how
eagerly I look forward to its arrival.
(MISS) CECILE CHAZALOi'i
Hove, Sussex, England
REBUFFER REBUFFED?
It's a long way from Indiana to Mas·
sachusetts, hut I think Mr. Ames [see
Rcmler's Forum, page 98, April] is over·
juherous. On a recent correspondence
game, he even questions the way I spell
my own name. He'd probably insist that
the first words uttered by Kennedy's
daughter be "Mr. President."
I'd just like to remind him of a famous
aphorism from the ancient Cyrillic:
The mice dilln.'t care !low you spell it,
They only walltell to bell it.
W. H. (IOWA FARMElc) DONNF.I.I.Y
• Having once reported Hoosier Donnelly
as from Iowa, we expect severe censure
from Iowans again.-Eo.
PROTEST
In the March issue, I saw that there
will be no more return matches for de·
feated World Champions. I should like to
~ay that I think that a defeated World
Champion is entitled to a return match.
I du not think that a defeated World
Cham Ilion should have 10 work his way lip
after losing only one match.
Tor;y WARNOCK
Alpine, Texas
• Mr. Warnock's point has always seemed
sound to us. Botvinnik likewise llas
voiced the same opinion.-Eo.

SOME BOUQUETS
You are putting out a very good maga-
:7.ine, and I hope your subscription cam-
paign is successful.

Aside from enjoying contents in total,
I look especially for Readers' Carnes, an·
notated by L A. Horowitz. They appear
altogether too infrequently. I too have
learned never 10 take the KB Pawn.
ED BLATT
f1artford, Conn.
I have been a subscriber to CHESS RE-
VIEW for the past twenty-five years. I
have also subscribed to other chess peri·
odicals. And I most sincerely believe
you r style and methods of introducing
chess to your readers is without any ex-
aggeration the best yet. One of the most
intcresting items in my opinion is your
Chess Quiz section. It certainly sharpens
the mind of beginners and experienced
players alike. It instructs as well as
entertains.
Lots of luck to you and keep lip the
good work.

CHESS AND CARTOON LOVER
I love chess and also love the art of
cartooning. Unfortunately, I do not rate
much higher than novice in either one.
In one of your recent issues, a reader
wrote tbat "Chess Vignettes and chess
cartoons were space wasters." I do not
agree; and, to prove it, I am sending one
of my crude drawings. Perhaps, you can
waste a little space. Some of your readers
may get a chuckle out of it.

Conclusion
T he Siesta Variation leads to com pli-
cat ed positions after both 7 P- Q4 and
7 0-0 . In most Instan ces, Black has to
sac r ifice a Pawn t o take over the at·
tack or at least a n initiative .

 THE CASE OF THE MISSING CHESS MEN
"T he whole I c rrjlor~' is unci .. imcd." ~id
Joel Shoebridgc. "All we need do is lu-
cate the lode, somewhere in western Col.
orado, and we clln file on a forlune in
gold."
"SomeWhCl'l;l in western Colorad o," reo
tortcd Kennelh Hilchen, bitterl y. "That 's
some hund r ed~ of square miles, and we
wouldn't kn ow iron pie fool's gold, if
we saw it:'
" No, but we have the old sourd ough's
slory. The site is ma rked br a Kni ght or
at least II ho rse's head, scratched un II

Knight when we see one."
"Yes," Ken burst out. "So did old Cral"
per know II hurse' s head - and how many
years did that hillmed prospector look -
and not find it!"
"But you' re forgetti ng the rest of the
story, Ken. Old Crapper didn't know chI'S!!
and so he neve r tr ied 10 t rack down th ~
cl uC$ in il. He knew the old hidago,
sea rching for Ihe fa bled EI Dorado, 10'
ealed th e lode back when onl y a few
Spaniards had l.enetrated the region. He
knew he'd fought hi ~ way back through
Kiowa s, Cheyen nes, Comanches and what
not, nearly 10 Ihis mission "
"And then two Jues, name of Black lind
White," cut in K en, "saved him from th e
Indians who hurl cut down his last few
followe rs a nd were torturing him. And,
knowing he was don e for, he had the cute
whim o f ha vi ng them p lay chess for ..... Ilich

Spaniard te aching Ihem the move;! from
his deathbt.-d for weeks and Ihen umpir·

died. But CrallPCr didn't even know who

"So he didn 't, Ken, but we do. There is
a clearly won position on the board her e
at the miss ion. As the padre slIyS. the

" Su re," answered Ken, b itte rl y aga in .
" The padre has shown us their kits, j ust
as he did Crapper. The mission stowed
them IIway for more than thre e hundred
yellTs - just to baHle li S, that 's all.
"Now that th e Indians are fairl y quiet
at last ( Damn Colonel Cherrington, any·
way! ), we co uld push right on and claim

He looked at Ihe boa rd before them and

" Yes," said Joel, "White must have reo

cove red cheek with Knight to Bishop's
sixt h. Bllt then Blllck's Bishop ta kes th e
Rook with check ; and , even Ihough Rook
l akes Bishop is another check, White will
still be a whole Rook down."
"Still," he said, suddenly, almost des·
perately, " mightn't White hllve won? We

" They'd ha ve had to be in Spanish in

" Padre." :and. liS the ml $illf\J1 head en·

T he padre shook h is head. "No, son."
T hen , as he saw the board before th e~ll .
"Oh, you mean the game '! I did not kll Ow

"'What abo ut the fi rst names? " Ken

"Why, Eduardo can mean ' de fen der' as

And, of course, White's name was what
you say as 'victor.' As I said, a pretty

" But Ed ward was Black," said J oel. "Or

"To be sure, Eduardo was Black. but

Sharp Reversal in Victory
We do llol have much of world opinion
(as this article is written ) on the final re-
sult of the \Vorld Chess Championship
Malch. But it is quite apparent that
there will be considerable discussion, if
not outright contrOI'ersy. as to the rea·
sons behind the sharp reversal in showing
by the contenders last year and this.
We have alrem]y advanced one way or
another two (obl'iotls) r easons, the health
of the contestants this year and last, and
Hans Kmoch's view that Botvinnik was (in
addition) far beltcr prepared than Tahl
this year.
The Briti sh muga:dne Chess under the
heading "BOlvinnik's Finest Hour" virru-
ally conceded Bu[vinnik's viclory wit h only
seventeen games reported (10% to 6;4 ) .
quoted Alberic O' Kell y de Galway as reo
marking that Botvinnik won only two
games in the whole match (21 games)
last year hut that this year he had won
two ill the first thrce games played. And
it goes 0 11 to ask : Can it be that the
underlying fuctor in Tal's success hither·
to has been his supreme confidence; and
that once this is shaken, he pales to a
shadow?
But it follow s up immediately with "A
more likely expl anation of the queer r eo
versal of fort unes is: influenza."
Among Russian commentators, V. Panov
says : "One big difference in principle
between a chess match and a tournament
is that it is easier 'findi ng the key' to a
single rival than, for instance, to 19.
Thc challenger and defender, preparing
for a match, can st udy scrupu lo usly t he
strong and weak point s and even take
into account the tastes and habits of one
annther. Whereas, in last year's match,
Botvinnik, mecting Tahl across the chess·
board for the firsl lime in his life,
groped his way through the contest and
had a hard time studying the 'white
spots' on the maps of fu ture chess en·
gagemcnts and gradually getting acquaint·
ed with his oP llOnent's original style, he
now knows that young man through and
through. "
Stahlberg's Opinion
"Winning the world chess c rown is not
an easy task," st aled Grandmaster Gideon
Stahlberg in an interview for the Moscow
press, "but holding onto it is still more
difficul t. Best proof of this is offered by
the two Botvinnik vs. Tah] matches,"
"Botvinnik failed to withs tand T ahl's
h igh. pressure game last year," the Chief
Umpire of the World Title l\htdl con·
tin ued, "but he got himself into cxccllent
trim for the return match.
" I believe thaI Tahl's sluggish and un·
certain performance this year was pri.
marily due to his underestimation of the

challenger. Besides inadequate training
in theory, the world ti tle defender was
not at his best in physical conditioning.
Tahl was a very tired man after fonr
hours of play in most of the games and
he often committed costly errors in this
conditio n.
"A young chess player is IIsually opti.
mistic and especially if he has scored
major victories. This is quite understand·
able. Only a few believed in a win for
Botvinnik. Tahl was much too care·free
in the first half of the return match.
"It is my opinion that the third and
seven th games of this match were of
great importance, and not only because
BOLvinnik won them, but also because he
opposed Tahl's 'aggressiVe play with simi·
luI' sharp actinn.
"I think that Tah] made a big psycho.
logical a nd tactical mistake after winning
the eighth game. Although he was ill
for a few days hefnre, Tahl chose a very
risky varia tion in the ninth gamc, Illayed
rashly and, naturally, paid the penalty.
This setback obviously had great effect on
the world champion. This, I believe, ex·
plains his uncertain and nervous play in
the next two games.
"Botvinn ik's victory is not only another
great achievement for him, but also the
establishment of many new chess records.
Whereas Alekhine succeeded only once
in ·regai ni ng lhe world chess crown, Bot·
vinnik did it twicc. Besides, Botvinnik
is the only 50 year old Grandmaster who
has won the/ wo rl d title at this age. An·
other record• was set up in the twent iet h
game, whi 11 lasted fourteen and a half
hours and in whic h 121 moves were made.
"The chess world can be p roud of such
a champion as Botvinnik. H is play is
both subtle and logical , and it is a real
pity that he has taken part so seldom in
major international tournaments in reo
cent yea rs.
"What can he said ahout Tahl? He
fought stubbornly till the "ery last min·
ute and lost in grand style. It should be
pointed out that he was war off form and
that he lacks experience, Ilart icularly in
chess endings. Howeve r, with his vast
talent, Tahl will, of course, get rid of
his faults.
"Who knows bUI, perhaps, he will
emer ge victorious in the nex t Challen·
gers' Tournament. If this occurs, he will
again face Botvinnik in a world title
match in 1963."
Conc:lusion
As to the correct conclusion, there can
be none, none that be Ilroved to one and
all. We think it's safe to suy that all these
opin io ns which we have cited here and in
previous issues may have some t rut h in
them. It is also possible that the match
and return match went as they did for
reasons not actually stated, too.
But we do main t ain that, when illness
is a fact - or, for that. ma tt er. severe per·
sonal worry - that factor has to over·
ride all others in a chess mat.ch between
anything like equal players. Performance
in chess depends primarily on a smooth
flow of ideas. The better prellared man
may excel in this, so may the more con·
fident one. But it is a lead ripe cinch
that the ideas of a sick 'man must fal ter,
