NEW REGULATIONS WILL
soon govern all tournaments that
are advertised or announced in
Chess Life. The new regulations,
which deal with prizes based on
the number of entries, were
adopted by the USCF Policy
Board at its May 1981 meeting.
These regulations attempt to en-
sure realistic estimates of attend-
ance and to assure entrants of
some element of predictability in
prizes.
The following regulations are
effective for tournaments begin-
ning on or after Nov. 15, 1981,
though earlier voluntary com-
pliance is recommended.
(1.) The total prize fund shall be
at least 50 percent of the amount
announced in Chess Life, no mat-
ter how disappointing the actual
attendance is.
(2.) The
total of prizes shall not
be reduced by more than atten-
dance shortfall times the max-
imum advance entry fee for each
player.

(3.) No prize shall be reduced
by more than the proportion of
the total prize fund's reduc-
tion.
(4.) Failure to comply with any
or all of regulations 1-3 may result
in the penalty imposed for failure
to hold an announced tourna-
ment; namely, that violating
organizers shall be barred from
listings in Tournament Life or
advertising in Chess Life for
three years.
Example A: Tournament A an-
nounces $ 1,000 in prizes based
on 100 entries. All entry fees are
$ 15 in advance and $ 20 at the
door. Only 80 players actually
enter, 40 in advance and 40 at the
door.
The division of advance and
door entries is irrelevant to these
regulations, as is the $ 5 "late
fee." The tournament is 20
players short of the estimate, and
the pertinent entry fee is $ 15.
Since $ 15 times 20 is $ 300, the
prizes must total $ 700 (the $ 1,000

fall). And in compliance with Rule
3, no prize may be less than 70
percent of what was promised
($ 700 is 70 percent of the estimat-
ed $ 1,000). If the Top Under 1400
prize was announced/estimated
to be $ 50, the winner of that prize
must receive at least $35 (70 per-
cent of $ 50).
Example B: In the same event
above, say only 10 players enter,
all at $ 15. The expenses for the
tournament (site rental, publicity,
etc.) are $400, and the entry fees
collected total only $ 150.
The prizes must total at least
$ 500 (Rule 1), and no prize may be
less than 50 percent of that an-
nounced/estimated.
The organizer of this event
thus faces expenses of $ 900

penses), a loss of $ 750. He will
estimate more conservatively in
the future.

are no competitors for an an-
nounced prize. In such a case
this money must still be counted
in awarding because the
actual'rizes
are based on the total
estimated. To calculate the prop-
er proportion, subtract the
unawarded prize(s) from the total
estimate and divide the prize
money to be awarded by this
result.
For example: In this $ 1,000
estimate, two $50 prizes have no
players competing for them.
Each prize paid, therefore, should
be at least 55.5 percent of its an-
nounced estimate [because
$ 1,000 minus $ 100 (two times
$ 50) equals $ 900, and $ 500 divid-
ed by $ 900 equals .55555.]
The net effect of these regula-
tions is to guarantee at least 50
percent of any prize fund an-
nounced in Chess Life and to en-
sure equitable and proportional
distribution of prizes in the event
that attendance at a based-on
tournament is disappointing. ~

some of their top players. Four
remarkable teams were formed:
Anthony Miles (Great Britain), La-
jos Portisch (Hungary), Bent

sky (Soviet Union). All are GMs.
In 1980, Karpov remained one
of the most active and success-
~
ful world champions on record.
He won important events at
Bugojno, Yugoslavia; Amster-
dam, the Netherlands; Bad Kis-
singen, West Germany; and Til-
burg, the Netherlands; and he led
the Soviet team at the olympiad
in Malta. All in all, he played 72
games against grandmasters,
winning 24, drawing 42 and los-
ing only six — the only six games
he lost all year. His 6~/2-~/2 record
against non-grandmasters raised
his overall 1980 score to 51~/2 of a
possible 79, an outstanding 65

LENINGRAD
4 MOSCOw
BY DANA W. NANCE
N THE FAI t. OF 1978 I FM3 THE
opportunity to study Russian for
nearly four months in Leningrad,
the most beautiful and haunting of
Soviet cities. As an avid chess player
(category I], I set as one of the goals of
my visit to find out what life is like for
chessplayers in the Soviet Union and,
if possible, to participate in a real
Soviet chess tournament. I succeeded
in the latter; as for the former, al-
though it would be impossible to learn
everything in four months, I did return
with many observations. I believe
these will be of special interest to
USCF members, being neither the im-
pressions of a grandmaster, sheltered
from the world of the average player,
nor the jumbled, fleeting recollections
of a casual tourist who, in the Soviet
Union more than in most countries,
cannot hope to fathom the life of the
"natives."
I had also hoped to improve my
chess by rubbing shoulders with Rus-
sians, but this did not happen. I re-
main today the same erratic category
I. player I was when I went to the
Soviet Union. If you'e not cut out to be

An amateur's impressions
of che'ss life, Soviet style
a master, you'e not cut out to be
master, and it doesn't matter where
you live!
Where the Russians Play Chess
The immediate response to the
question implicit in the above heading
is, "Everywhere!" We have all read
statistics on how many millions of Rus-
sians play chess, which is the second
or third most popular national pas-
time in the Soviet Union, behind soc-
cer and, perhaps, hockey, and there
is no doubt that such names as Mik-
hail Botvinnik, Bobby Fischer [yes,
Fischer!] and Anatoly Karpov are as
well known to Russians as the names
of Babe Ruth, Willie Mays and Reggie
Jackson are to Americans. For an
American chess devotee who was
used to being part of a rather anony-
mous subculture, this was quite a
change: When you tell someone you
play chess, you are not considered an
oddball — in fact, you are probably
speaking with another chessplayer
and may be invited to play a game on
the spot!
Still, there has to be some place
where this diffuse activity concen-
a
,I
trates, and in Leningrad such a one is
the Tchigorin Central Chess Club, lo-
cated on Zhelybov Street in the heart
of downtown. This building is another
surprise for the American player, for
whom "chess club" means a universi-
ty classroom after hours, or the recre-
ation room of a community center.
The club is classy: a vestibule with a
ticket window, a wide staircase domi-
nated by a framed portrait of "the
father of Russian chess," Tchigorin,
which leads to a spacious auditorium,
furnished with inlaid chess tables,
with a balcony providing yet more
playing [or spectator] space. It is a
building of which Leningrad chess-
players can be proud.
Yet I gradually discovered that the
central chess club is hardly the place
to go for a casual game, although I did
a couple of times play with chess ac-
quaintances there, not really knowing
whether or not this was allowed. It is,
perhaps, reassuring that most real
chess activity occurs elsewhere: I fre-
quently played in the back room of a
university physical education building
and the basement of a youth recrea-
tion center!
l5
I

There were still differences,
though. The Leningrad State Universi-
ty Chess Club was not something spon-
taneously organized by students, but
an official part of the physical educa-
tion department, provided with a full-
time trainer, a candidate-master
named Aleksandr Kentner. He was a
true trainer: Most of the meetings I at-
tended were deadly serious analysis
sessions, in-which Aleksandr Romano-
vich would put up on a demonstration
boar'd a position from an old book or
from 64 magazine; after a few
minutes'tudy the students would be
called on to give their solutions and
'easoning, after which the correct
. continuation would be demonstrated,
(This, incidentally, was a valuable
service, because chess books and
magazines are hard to get in the
Soviet Union, being'n short supply
and great demand.] Only once a five-
minute tournament was organized,
but even here the seriousness of Rus-
sian chess was evident: Even in five-
minute chess they play touch-move!
This rule-,coupled with the fact that I
am a weak speed player anyway,
caused me to have a catastrophic re-
sult.: /2-7~/2! After about three rounds
I mentioned that the touch-move rule
was causing me problems, and Roma-
novich offered to-waive the rule for
me, but I refused: "I-am in your coun-
try, so I must play by your rules!" This
display of honor may have brought me
some goodwill from the other players,
but that goodwill probably evaporat-
ed when I had to withdraw to go to a
concert .. nobody loves a quitter.
~ and category I players. I leaped at the
One question I never found an ade-
quate answer to was: How do you get
into organized chess if you'e not any
good? The chess activities at the
university were only for players of
category I and above, and during my
time in Leningrad I was never aware
of any tournaments for category II or,
below. There is, of. course, an exten-
sive program of chess for school
children, with trainers similar to the
university trainer, but if you end your
school years as a category II or III
player, are there any opportunities to
.move up? This I do not know.
My Tournament
The other chess club I frequented
in Leningrad was the Burevestnik
[literally, "Stormy Petrel "} Chess
Club, which, though cramped and dif-
l6
T~, ",O',Lie.0 -'0,';-- S
ficult to find if you didn't know where
it was, was a pleasant place to take
shelter from the bitter Russian winter.
This, too, was no spontaneously or-
ganized group, but part of the enor-
mous hierarchy of Soviet sports.
There are several nationwide teams,
each affiliated with a nationwide
labor union {Burevestnik for students,
Trud for industrial laborers, and the
Armed Forces team, on which Karpov
plays, are examples} which compete
not only in chess, but in all sports, on a
national level and on a local level.
{Pursuing the baseball analogy, it is as
if every city had a farm team for the
New York Yankees.) Like the universi-
ty club, the Burevestnik has a full-time
director. Though his position probably
makes him one of the most important
people in Leningrad chess circles,
Efim Solomonovich is a very ap-
proachable, kindly middleaged man.
When I was first introduced to him

and told him about my desire to play in
a Soviet che s tournament, he immedi-
ately offer ed to enter me in a quarter-
final section of the Burevestnik club
championship for candidate masters
opportunity, although it is possible
that by doing so I might have usurped
the place of someone who had a legiti-
mate right to an invitation. Solomono-
vich warned me, though, that I would
find it a strong tournament — eight
candidate masters and eight category
I players. (One of the candidate
masters withdrew early in the tourna-
ment.}
At this point I should comment on
~
some differences between Soviet and
American tournaments and rating
systems. Virtually all tournaments are
held in the grandmaster style
round robins, with adjournments
after the first time control and special
days set aside,for the completion of
adjourned games. There is no numeri-
cal rating system; as in grandmaster
chess, you move up by attaining
norms. Each player has a passport
-sized booklet in which his tournament
results and norms are noted. This sys-
tem has both advantages and disad-
vantages. It is achievement-oriented,
so you cannot move up a class by pil-
ing up good but not out-standing
results. On the other hand, there are
obvious inequities: The player who
falls a half-point shy of the norm two
or three times, the player who has one
freakishly good result, which he can
never live up to thereafter. The round-
robin system has the virtue of pitting
you for round after round against
players of roughly equal strength but
also has the drawback that players
who are dong poorly tend to get
disheartened and withdraw. [I won
two games by forfeit in his way, and
another player won three!}
The tournament was a remarkable
one for me, as I played miserably yet
had an extraordinary amount of good
look, which culminated in the eighth
round
~ I when the following "accident"
occurred:
Nance/cat. I— Meiroyan/cat. I
White to move
31. Ne7+ Kh7 32. Qxh6+!
Here my opponent studied the
board for five minutes, then wordless-
ly stopped his clock. At first I thought
he was acknowledging the perpetual
check, but then, as I watched in
amazement, he wrote "Black resigns"
on his scoresheet! Once again we see
the psychological power of "parting
with the lady" [Later he discovered
!
the mistake, but bore me no grudge
because of it; in fact, he became a
good friend of mine.}
Surprisingly, though I had never
before in my life played an adjourned
game, my adjourned games were the
highlight of the tournament for me, as
the following two games illustrate.
First, take a look at the position at the
top of the next page.
I have spent more time analysing

Trabski/candidate master-Nance
White to move
this position and its consequences
than any other position I have ever
reached (a good feature of adjourn-
ments: they encourage deep analysis).
Black's protected passed pawn might
give him some faint hope of victory,
but his splintered pawn formation is
very vulnerable to attack. It seems to
me that Black's only winning pro-
cedure is to penetrate with his King on
the Kingside. Hence White's most
reliable defense, I thought, is to bar
the King's approach with 42 Ra5 Ke6
~
43. Ra6+ Kf5 44. g3. Black must now
either try the breakthrough g5-g4 or
agree to a draw (the Rook cannot
leave the f-file because of g3-g4+ Kf4,
followed by Rf6+ and Rf5]. However,
White chooses a different plan, which
should also have been adequate.
42. Ra5 Ke6 43. Ra6+ Kf5 44. Rc6

of the 1978 Karpov-Korchnoi world

course, aroused tremendous interest
in the Soviet Union. Every. game eve-

from the audience, citing tiredness—
certainly a justifiable excuse, but
l8
could it have been that there were
certain questions he didn't want to
answer? His report was very biased,
as he dwelt at length on his victories
without explaining any of his defeats,
criticized the size of Korchnoi's en-
tourage without saying how many
people were in his own, and criticized
Korchnoi's interrupting the match
with time-outs, while portraying his
own time-out as a necessary and in-
genious strategy. Moreover, I found
him unappealing as a person. Toward
Korchnoi he was very sarcastic, and
he showed he could be sarcastic to-
ward others, too: At the beginning of
his speech, when the incessant flash-
ing of flash bulbs began to annoy him,
he said testily, "I think that's enough
already, OK?" rather than asking the
photographers to stop.
Lest my negative reactions be seen
as a result of my bourgeois prejudices,
I will mention that several students
from the socialist state of Hungary,
with whom I attended the lecture,
were even sharper in their disap-
proval of Karpov than I have been.
Nor is Karpov an object of universal
adulation in the Soviet Union, as one
might conclude from the newspapers.
A master, who is one of the best young
players in Leningrad and probably
knew what he was talking about, told
me later that among serious chess-
players in Leningrad, those who knew
Korchnoi before he left, those who
had been filling the hall at the central
chess club, the majority had been
rooting for Korchnoi to win. As a
chessplayer he has a more interesting
and exciting style, and as a man ... let
those who have known him judge.
I hope I have succeeded, in this long
article, at giving the reader not a
bird's eye but a worm's eye view of
chess life, Soviet style. I must em-
phasize, however, that these are the
memories and opinions of only one
person, and I would welcome correc-
tions or additions from people who are
in a position to know more. There is,
happily, a growing number of such
people in the USCF (in some East Coast
tournaments, I have noticed, Russian
has become like a second language!}.
If it has not been done before, I would
like to conclude my article by extend-
ing a heartfelt welcome to these new
members of the USCF, who are cer-
tain to make a great contribution to
chess life, American style.

1. e4 c5 2. Nf 3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4
Nf6 5. Nc3 g6 6. f4t
~
Nobody, I know who plays the
Dragon like's to play against this.
6.... Nbd7 7. e5f?
Wow, he plays it anyway. Now I
suspected a prepared line. Accepting
the pawn is forced.
7.... dxe5 8. fxe5 Nxe5 9. Bf4 Nfd7
Moving the Knight on e5 is embar-
rassing after Nbd5.
10. Bb5 Bg7 11. Qe2 (M 12. MH)
Time to take stock. Black still has
8
the pawn. White has a lot of pressure
on the d-file. There are no immediate
threats, however.
12.... a6 13. Bxd7
Any retreat by this Bishop allows
Black to begin his attack with ... b5.
Very interesting is 13. Bxe5 Nxe5 14.
Ne6 Bxe6 15. Rxd8 Rfxd8, where
Black has Rook, Bishop and pawn plus
pressure for a Queen. The position
would be fairly equal but Black can
improve with 13. Bxe5 Bxe5 14. Bxd7
Bf4+, keeping the pawn.
13.... Nxd7 14. Bg5
Here Rowley offered a draw. After
the game he said he was somewhat
surprised that I had found the best
move each time after accepting the
pawn. Since I had an extra pawn and
the two Bishops I decided I should try
to win. The passive 14.... Re8 is not my
style, so I thought for 40 minutes.
Originally I was analyzing 14. .. ~
Qa5, but 15. Nb3 would put a damper
on the party. Now it was Rowley's
turn to use 40 minutes. He said after
the game that he really felt lost here.
On 15. Nd5, I intended 15.... Qa5!,
with complications.
15. Qxe7! Bxd4 16. Rxd4 Qxd4 17.
Bh6
Now White is down an entire Rook
but he has all the play. This is the
critical position of the game, and
perhaps 17.... b5 wins. If 18. Rd1, then
18.... Qf6 19. Bxf8 Qf4+ 20. Kbl Nxf8
21. Rd8 Bb7 22. Qxf8, mate. So, per-
haps 21.... Qh6 22. Nd5 Bb7 23. Nf6+
Kh8 24. Qxf7 Qg7, and Black holds.
Rowley suggested 21. Nd5! Qh6 22.
Nf6+ Kh8 23. Qe4!, and then 23....
Rb8 24. Qe5 23.... Ra7 24. Qd4, in
either case setting up a winning
discovery. Of course, Black could
abandon the Rook and counterattack
the Knight. For example: 23.... Ra7 24.
Qd4 Qg7! 25. Qxa7 Qxf6, and it's still
a hard fight. Back to the game.
17.... Qf6 18. Bxf8 Qf4+ 19. Kb1
Nxf8 20. Nd5 Qf5
Defending the Bishop. If Black tries
20.... Qh6'?, then 21. Nb6 Rb8 22. Qc7

Deja Vu
In search of the holy grail
(better known as the Caro-Kann)
BY JEREMY SILMAN
N THE INTERNATIONAL
scene, one often hears about
the importance of creating
new ideas in the openings. Bobby
Fischer, Lajos Portisch and Ewfim
Geller are just a few of the players
whose legendary opening preparation
spurred them to great heights.
Most of us, however, find this to be
unimportant, the closest to opening
preparation we get being the memori-
zation of a few book lines.
Some months ago I noted that Bent
Larsen was doing well with a sharp
line in the Caro-Kann. I looked at
several examples of how to play the
Black side, studied the basic ideas,
but never had the guts to try it.
During the Masters Challenge in Il-
linois I showed the line to masters E.
Martinovsky and L. Bass. They both
surprised me by laughing at it and
saying that it was unusual! My ego
was crushed, and I played the Sicilian
throughout the event, making a point
of avoiding the Caro-Kann.
When the final round came I found
myself playing International Master
Walter, Morris for 1st place. I
had'very
intention of once again playing
the Sicilian until Martinovsky walked
by and laughingly said, "Why don'
you play that Caro-Kann trash?"
That did it! Charge!

The prospect of 20. Rf1 Bd6 21. Bf4
Qxe4 is not enticing.
With this game on my mind, I con-
tinued to play the Caro and achieved a
10-0 score with it. I thought I had
answered the age-old question: "Is
there life after 1. e4?"
Then, with all going well, my
dreams of omnipotence were shat-
tered in a small Swiss in Sunnyvale,
Calif.

The Perils of Youth
T'S A SAD FACT OF LIFE
that, when strong players give
simultaneous exhibitions, only
their losses are published. Here are
two more cases in point — games
lost by two of our most talented
young players, International Mas-
ters Joel Benjamin and Mchael
Wilder, in simultanous displays
ers. The final tally is not available,
but we suspect the score was still
heavily in the young IMs favor.
Of the first game, winner Donald
Horowitz writes: "The game I played
with Benjamin was very enjoyable,
and very interesting. I realize that
most of the pressure was on Ben-
jamin; after all, I am rated 1587 and,
if I lose, it is only expected.
Horowitz teaches at Grover Cleve-
land High School in Queens, N.Y.

The next game was submitted by
Pierre F. de Ravel d'Esclapon, who
writes, "You may wish to note that
Moves 31 through 38 were done in
rapid transit fashion as Wilder had
already dispatched most of his other
opponents and was just standing by
the board waiting for me to move,"

 One More Time
Grandmasters of Chess, by Harold Schon-
berg; W.W. Norton 8 Co., 345 pp., index,
bibliography. $ 17.95.
BY JIM MARFIA
c g
CHONBERG HAS WRIL I'hN A
popular history of the greatest
mF chessplayers of all time. Prior to
the first publication of Grandmasters
of Chess in 1972, he had authored
three books in a similar vein, but on
musical themes: The Great Pianists,
The Great Conductors, and The Lives
of the Great Composers Sch.onberg
served as the New York Times senior
music critic from 1960 to 1980 and
won a Pulitzer for his criticism in
1971. He never reached the master
rank at chess, but New York chess-
players know him as a dedicated afi-
cionado who has no doubt wasted the
flower of his youth at the 52nd Street
Chess and Checker.
I read the first edition of Grand-
masters about 1975. Like most dedi-
cated young players, I had already
heard the anecdotes in Schonberg's
book many times before. But I was
, taken not only by his engaging, profes-
sional style (a rare thing in chess
literature), but by his unique ability to
select the proper anecdotes about
each GM to highlight his character. In
other words, I had heard a lot of
stories about chess masters, but it
was Schonberg's selection and treat-
ment of those stories that made them
history. The ability to write engaging-
ly, and yet accurately, about history is
a rare gift to be found among writers,
and is almost unheard of in this field.
Grandmasters of Chess grows a lit-
tle murky near the end, but this is to
be expected. The last three chapters
deal)'with the phenomenon of Bobby
Fischer and the Reykjavik match,
events which had barely left the
headlines at the time the book was be-
ing readied for publication. And
despite the immediacy of those events,
Schonberg, from his vantage as the
Times correspondent for the match,
nevertheless managed to find a cer-
tain coherence, even in Fis cher's

wildest inconsistencies. His is the
most entertaining account of the
match I have read. The mix of the
writing leans more toward the jour-
nalistic than the historical, but there
is enough rumination mixed with the
reportage to keep to the tone of the
book as a whole.
Which brings us to the revised and We have engaged a major manufacturer

Corresponding Squares
Although it's not necessary to
understand the concept of corre-
sponding squares in order to solve our
problem, it might be helpful to discuss
this theory from a basic point of view,
for it is commonly mentioned in con-
temporary textbooks. Futhermore, the
On key maneuver used to break such cor-
it' respondence is triangulation.
In pure King and pawn endgames,
lch where pawns can't or shouldn't move,
certain squares available to the
ln-
,if White King may correspond to certain
1. ones available to the Black. When
.on squares are related in this way,
he neither side wants to be the first to oc-
ke cupy a corresponding square with its
King. It is preferable to move to a cor-
llS responding square after the other
side's King already occupies one.
to Some positions contain a whole net-
work of corresponding square-sets. A
to
set generally consists of one cor-
a responding square for White and one
to for Black. Three such sets are perti-
Ile nent to our diagrammed example.
From our starting position, c5 cor-
e-
mls responds to c7. This means White will
not be able to make progress if he oc-

conversely means Black will lose by

force if he occupies c7 before White
th does c5. In a similar way, we can say
lg d5 for White corresponds to c8 for
Black, and d6 for White corresponds
for to d8 for Black (stronger players
will point out that it corresponds to b8
:k
as well, but the explanation is beyond
the scope of this article).
The concept can be quite elusive
ie
'S
8,
because corresponding squares are
determined by analysis, not by for-
mula. Each set must be ascertained by
a deliberate process of investigation.
This explains why books on the sub-
4 4
:k ject tend to provide many deeply
analyzed examples and a few general
statements.
An important corollary to the idea
of not being the first to occupy a cor-
responding square is that neither side
wants to move when the Kings al-
ready sit on a set of corresponding
squares (in our example, let's say on
Iy
c5 and on c7).
Since this is the same kind of condi-
3-
tion that underlies the concept of the

e Sicilian Dragon is one of the toughest openings to defense, and its international popularity with chess
ers attests to its strength. What to do? Well, learn about the "Yugoslav Attack" in a terrific new book from
Troy Line. The Yugoslav attack against the Dragon is one of ihe most critical and tactically rich of all
pening variations, with improvements being found frequently for both sides.
Sicilian Dragon: Yugoslav Attack, by British Grandmaster Tony Miles and leading young American
Eric Moskow, is scrupulously researched and includes all known lines of play, with material
right up to
early 1979. The authors, both of whom play the variation regularly in important tournaments, have
incorporated a wealth of new ideas which makes this an invaiuable book for anyone wishing to
play the Dragon in competitive chess.

Pyrrhic Victory
By Walter Mebane
After handling the opening
somewhat passively, I reacted to a
 premature pawn thrust at Move 17
with a long combination that netted a
pawn but left me with uncoordinated
pieces. Then I misguidedly strained
for a Kingside attack and snatched a
dangerous pawn on the opposite wing.
This led to a blistering near-mating at-
tacks by both sides. When the smoke
cleared, I was three pawns up.
The unhappy ending is that I
-
became violently ill during the game
and was forced to withdraw from the
tournan&ent.

Heroic Defense
By Ken Naugle
Nimzovich wrote of the concept of
"heroic defense." But most games
seem to favor the attacker; I hope this
makes a good case for the other side.
A Spanish poet, whose name I can'
remember, once said: "Attack! At-
tack! Always attack!" More often
than not, my motto seems to be: "De-
fend! Defend! And then attack!"

Since my opponent just tied for the

and since I just finished 2-3 in the

was set for victory by my younger op-

accounts for my cautious opening and
his resulting overconfidence.

I.A. Walter Mebane/1880-Oscar
Shapiro/2132 {Eastern Chess Con-
gress 1977):
(A.) The game continued 1. N-B5ch!
NxN 2. PxN Q-B3 (on 2.... R-R3, then 3.

and White remains a pawn up with an
attack. By compelling Black to capture
on f5, White creates a breach on g6 in
a seemingiy impregnable fortress.
(B.) After 1. N-R5ch? K-B1, White
has nothing better than a retreat by 2.
N-N3. This, in turn, gives Black time to
organize a defense with 2.... Q-B3,

ty for the King on the Queenside.
(C.) Black welcomes 1. Q-N5? Qxg
with open arms. This exchange of
Queens eases the defensive task, pro-
duces an even endgame and complete-
ly obliterates any chance of pursuing
an attack. Why offer this option when
W'hite has everyttiing to lose and noth-
ing to. gain from it?
II.B. O. Barkan/2233-C. Batcheld-
er/1978 (American Open 1980}:
(A.) Mr. Barkan writes: "Originally
I intended 1. NxP QxRP 2. NxN RxN 3.
R-K8ch, with mate to follow. But I saw
to my disappointment that 1. NxP?

R-K7! QxN 5. R-K2, Black resigns (in

serves that, after 1. RxP N-K3! 2. N-Q2
N/2-Q1! 3.. QxRch Kxg 4. NxQ NxR,
Black averts disaster. He concludes:
"2.... N/2-Q1. creates one of the most
unusual positions in the sense that
every piece on the board (except
White's Knight) is threatened!"
{C.) If 1. K-N1 looks reasonable to
you, it indicates that you saw deeply
into the'position — rejecting both 1.
NxP and 1. N-N5 due to the unexpect-
ed 1.... N-B4! It would appear that
~
White renews the threat of NxP or
QxN. However, again there is a saving
resource: 1.... QxNP! 2. NxP? N-K7ch!
3. RxN QxQ. The position is rife with
tactics, and it's easy to go astray.
IH.B. Dr. )on Farber/1879-Robert
Sulman/2044 {Lehman College Open
1978):
(A.) Black is two pawns up but
behind in development, his King con-
fined to the center. Play continued: 1.

Therefore, White is reduced to 2.

usual, is best.
(C.) Superficially, 1.... B-N5 looks
good, developing a fresh piece and ex-
erting more pressure against c3.
White does not oblige by 2. NxPch?
K-B2 but rather hits back with 2.
QxQP! QxQ 3. N-B7ch K-B2 4. NxQ,

and Bishop are hanging. Other possi-
bilities are 1.... R-B1 2. QR-Qll or 1....

IV.A. Sheynin/1899-LeClare/2003
{Connecticut Open 1980}:
(A.) Sam Sheynin earned a brillancy
prize for this effort: 1 P-B6! is a
~
decisive thrust since 1.... BxBP 2.
Q-R5 P-KN3 (or 2.... P-R3 3. Q-N6) 3.

The irouble with 1. Q-R5 B-B3
(B.)
{2. BxB PxB) is that Black has time to
organize a blockade. With only two
pawns for a piece, it is problematical
whether White can recover.
{C.) Again, 1. P-Q4 N-Q2 {followed
by ... N-B3) leaves White without suffi-
cient compensation for the sacrificed
piece. There is still some play left, but
nothing does the trick like 1. P-B6! 8

the defender's King being at a safe
(distant} location. I became interested
in the ending when it occurred in my
longest game ever, versus Troianescu
at Venice in 1969. After five sessions,
15 hours and 120 moves of play, I had
a King at b7, a Queen at a5 and a
pawn at a4; my opponent had a King
at f7 and a Queen at e4. Having seen
the incorrect "rule" in Fine's Basic
Chess Endings, I accepted a draw. In-
stead, I should have played 1. Ka7,
when continued checks result in a
forced Queen trade. Black's best
drawing hope would be 1.... Kg6! and
. . Kh5. After the game, GM Mark
~ After
Taimanov remarked that even sex-
tupled RPs would draw,
It ain't necessarily so! Later, IM
Czerniak told me he'd beaten GM
Boris Ivkov at Belgrade in 1954 with a
pawn as far back as R3. Other ex-
amples: Bronstein-Gulko [Tallinn
1977}, in which pawn at h5 drew ver-
sus King at a2; Smejkal-Browne P/Vijk
aan Zee 1975}, where Wlute's King at
g8, Queen at f6 and pawn at h4 won in
37 more moves against Black's King at
c6 and Queen at d3.

 Notice for Tournament Players
How to Read Your Magazine Label
The first eight digits on your mailing label is your USCF ID number. Use this number in all cor-
respondence with the USCF. Following this is your four-digit USCF postal rating, if you have one. Next
is your membership type, followed by your expiration date. If the next space contains the letters
"UNOF," this means your rating is unofficial and does not correspond to a published rating list. If a
date appears in this space, then your rating is official as of the rating list published on that date; this
means your rating is valid for use in USCF-rated tournaments. The next four-digit number is your USCF
over-the-board rating. If your rating is 0000, you have played fewer than four rated games at the time the
labe! was produced or you have an old rating which has not been entered into your record. If you believe
you have a rating which should appear on your label, notify the USCF National Office with complete
details.
The letter "P" before your rating indicates a provisional rating, and it should not appear after your
20th game has been rated. The letter appearing after established ratings indicates the highest rating a
player has ever achieved. These letters are: S = 2400 or@bove; M = 2200-2399; C = 2000-2199; E =
1800-1999; X = 1600-1799; A = 1400-1599; = 1200-1399; N = 1000-1199; R = 999 or below. Organizers

may use this information at their own discretion.
i
How to Enter a Tournament in Advance
Advance entry is recommended to expedite your registration. When entering any tournament in ad-
vance, give your full name, address, USCF ID number and expiration date, USCF rating and date of
publication (or, if you are unrated, an approximation of your rating) and section desired (if you are enter-
ing a tournament with more than one section).
Entry fees paid in advance for USCF-rated tournaments are usually not acknowledged but are refund-
able if a player has a justifiable reason or has not been already paired for the first round. Variations from
this policy must be clearly announced in Chess Life and in any local publicity. Failure to comply with
this rule may result in loss of affiliation.
What to Bring to the Tournament
Bring your USCF membership card. All tournaments listed are USCF-rated and therefore require each
player to be a USCF member. Members unable to display a current membership card may be required to
pay another year's dues. Advance entrants should include any necessary dues payment with their ad-
vance entry fee. Otherwise, memberships may be obtained at the tournament site. Membership in
organizations other than the USCF is required only if specified in the announcement.
Bring your most recent mailing label with an official rating to expedite your registration.
Bring a chessboard, set and clock if you have them.
How to Get Tournament Crosstables
You may request a computer-produced copy of the crosstables, in final order with post-tournament
ratings, of your last five USCF-rated tournaments. Send the names, dates and $ 3 fee to the USCF Na-
tional Office.
Notice for Tournament Organizers
Tournament Life Announcements
Each affiliate is entitled to six tournament announcements of six lines each without charge. The
same announcement appearing twice counts as two announcements. Announcements of more than six
lines cannot be accepted under this no-charge policy.
All other announcements are accepted at $ 3 a printed line. Proofs of copy submitted by organizers
will be returned for approval, along with an invoice. The announcement will be published upon receipt
of the approved copy and payment of the fee. Th'e announcemer.l will be published in two issues if
received by the appropriate deadline. The organizer receives a credit slip to cover the rating of up to 12
games per line of tournament announcement. The credit will apply only to the specific tournament an-
nounced and only if the rating report is postmarked within one week of the tournament's conclusion.
The USCF reserves the right to edit language advertising or promoting an event instead of merely an-
nouncing it.
Cancellation Penalties
Tournament organizers may not cancel events listed or advertised in Chess Life unless notice of the
cancellation is also published in the magazine. Organizers violating this guideline will be barred for
three years from listing or advertising tournaments in Chess Life. Exceptions to this policy may occur
when inclement weather or other circumstances make it physically impossible to reach the tournament
site. I

Michael Stean ~ This well conceived and
well written book introduces fundamentals
of chess strategy and planning to the
uninitiated. Even successful players and
skilled tacticians often have difficulty in
recognizing the positional truths which
Grandmaster Stean identifies in this ex-
cellent paperback. Recommended for all
classes of players below master strength.
We like everything about this book except
its title. ON, 116 pp., 83 diagrams. Faber &

who own the other books of the series. This

especially by those players who want to
choose one of the lesser known Black
defenses. Recommended for all classes of
