D URING the first week in No­vember several members of

the capablanca Club of Havana, Cuba, spent several days in New York City. They visited local clubs and participated in many activities here.

One evening they arrived at the Manhattan C. C. aiter dinner and played a few oU-hand games with some of the members present. Then Hans Kmoch, the club secretary, asked them if they would like to play in a rapid transi t tournament. When they agreed, one was or­ganized on the spot and held thal very evening. The Cubans and sev­eral Manhatt.lnites participated; and victory went to Abe Turner of N~w York. Second prize was cap­tured by Dr. Juan Gonzales, first board of the visitors' team. Dr. Gonzales spent some time in New York City a few years q:o when be studied medicine here. At that time he won the U. S. Rapid Champion­ship. Dr. Blasi of the ManhattAn Club was third.

The following night the visitors played a six i!:ame match with the ~tarsh>lll Club team. Loui,j WolU of that club welcomed the Cubans and presented them with a beauti­rul plaque and several chess ties as remembrances of the occasion. There were many spcC!tators, nnd the Marshallites proved to be ex­cellent hosts in all respects but one: the visitors were defC!ated 51h·'ft.

In an astou nding feat of b lind­fold wizardry, George KoUanowski scored 6l1t·1'h in an eight board simult>lncous display. The opposi­tion was quite stron&:, and Kolty had to work very hard to do so welt. The former Belgian champion will remain here for several days more, during which time be will give exihibilions at the ebess clubs in town. He puts on a wonderful show: sitting in a corner and reo ferri ng to no board or any notes, he puHs away on a cigarette and caUs out the moves in clear voice. Every club should give its members a chance to s« this extr.ordlnary man in a~tion.

In line wit h the Fedel'tltion'. policy to increase tournament activo ity, it will hold an open touma. ment rigbt here in New York City. Watch CRESS UFE for further details. ----

AN ECCENTRIC VARIATION By U. S, Mast. r A. DiC . millo

EVER since Dr. Harold Sussman drew attention to a certain

variation I discovered and recom­mended, I have been besieged by many. to explain the why and wherefores.

The variation starts with the moves: t . p-K4 p·K' 3. )(t ·Q8' 8 ·KtS 2. p.Q4 ~.Q4 4. p. KS Kt .KR3!1'

AClually this move deserves neither nn exclamation point nor a question mark. It is a ra tional move discovered by a rational" ap­proach to the previous moves made. Black wishes to make a develop­ing move without obligating- him­self to trade his KB and without permitting the usual K·side pres­sure that White begins, with Q. KKl4. Hence 4 ......... , 1S:t·KR3, a move that accomplishes all three. Summarily, Kt·KR3 :

I . Develops. piece, 2. Prevents Q.KKtl, , . Allows for II ·K2.

It can be argued then. that 4 ......... , Kl-K R3 is a /o!ood positional move. The question arises-Dles it hold up tactically?

The sharpest try : 5. BxKt. PxB; 6. P·QR3, BxKt ch (one must not make saving the KB an obcession); 7 . PxB, P·QB4; 8 . O·RS (or 0..01). Q·R4 and nIack has the better game. Why ? Because White's doubled pawns arc on an open file lind arc easily attacked; Black's pawns arc nolo Examination will also show that Whilc's King is more ex~oscd than Black's.

I argue that White must look elsewhere for an advantage. So, let us elscwhere.

U White plays 5. P-QR3 (Tried by Dr. Pavey against Saul Wachs in the Manhattan·Marsh311 Match. Wachs obliged with 5 ......... , B-Bl?). Prior to his game with Dr. Pavey, Wachs as White tried the move 5. p..qn3 against DiCamillo in a prac­tice game. In d iscussing the rela­tive merits of this opening after the game, Wachs told me he would try it out in a future game. He did. but did not play the mOVe dis­cussed.

If White plays S. P..oR3, Black can play S .......... 8 xKt eh and trans-pose into the normal with 6 . ........ , Kt-84. Still Black can play S ......... , B·K2 wilh play running in two di­rections :

Variation A) S. P-QR3, B·K2; 6. QKI·K2, p.QB4; 7. P·QBJ, Kt·B3; 8. Kt·B3. Kt·B4; 9. Kt·KI3, 0-0; 10. KtxKt, PxKt; 11 . B..Q3, p.B3; 12. 0.0, PxP; 13. PxP, B-3 wit~ an even !tame. Somewhere along the line White could play diHercntly but then Black would play differ· ently also.

Variation B) S. P..QR3, a ·Kl; 6. 8 xKt, PxB; 7. Q-RS, P·QB4; 8. Kt· KB3, Kt.Q83; 9. B.QKIS, B..o2; 10.

Richard J . Hervert, former of­ficer 01 the chess club a t Kearney State Teachers College, has trans­ferred to the University of Nebra­ska.

The N .. w York Times reports that William Lombardy, College of the City of New York slar, is develop­ing into one of the best speed play· ers in the country.

Plans are being made for an early December trip to Pittsburgh by the Penn State u ndergraduate team. A match with the Downtown "Y" Chess Club may be arranged, but the main reason for the trip is a match with Bethany College. A series was started last ycar between Bethany. West Virginia Intercol· legiate Champions and Penn State, Pcnnsylvania Intercollegiate Cham· pions. This year, as last scaS<!n, the match should be a very even con· test.

A Salute to the Ladies

By Montgomery Malar

I'm not Jtrry;n' I~ ,",omt n IIrt fooli~b: God Almighty m<lllt 'em /0 milieh 11K mtn. GEORGE ELiOT-Ad.m Bede

I T is time indeed that some acknowledgment should be made of the great progress visable in the field of" chess {or womell. A progress

that is so world·wide that FIDE bas acknowledged it recently by creat­ing a special committee to explore the possibilities of greater inter­national activity Cor women players in the form of team tournaments.

In the United Slates itself the trend for greater development of women's chess was recognized by the United States Chess Federation some time ago by the election of a woman as a USCF Vice-President and the establishment of a Woman's Division to permit the ladies to direct their own destinies rather than ta~e ordcI1i. from mere men.

The results have bcen most gratifying, and in the past few years the place of women in the world of chess has been de(initely estab­lished as one of growing importance. It is only necessary to point to the U. S. Women's Open Championship at New Orleans and tho very recent U. S. Women's Championship in New York where new names and new [aces provided a definite proof of the increasing interest of the ladies in chess and thcir increasing capacity to play it well.

It is no disparagement to those who nurtured chess for women· in New York City through the years when New York possessed the only women chess players of any importance (with only one Or two rare exceptions) to point out that this was a static condition. Chess for women could not become an important factor in ehess throughout the USA so long a~ it was confined to the environs of one city.

It has only been since women players of tournament rank have risen in other cities ·that chess for women has assumed that national aspect that is essential to make it an important division of our national ",hess activity. While we must not belittle or discount in any way the pioneer efforts or Miss Weart, Mrs. Gresser, Miss Karlf, and Mrs. Bain, to name but a fe w of those who kept the concept of women's ehess alive during rather barren years, in acknowledging the great debt that chess owes to their efforts, we must recognize that chess for women only came into its own when their efforts were reinforced by the rise of other competent players in other localities. Chess activity for women only became a national program with the participation of such ncw players as Mrs. Irene Vines 0( New Orleans, Mrs. Eva Aronson of Chi­cago, Miss Lu cille Kellner of Detroit, Mrs. Willa White Owens of Avon Lake, lII nd Mrs. JlIIcqueline Pjatigorsky of Los Angeles.

That these, and many other promising young women players, are now to be found throughout the USA augurs well for the future of chess for women, and show that Miss Weart and other early p ioneers did not labor in vain to promote the conccpt of cbess for women.

As Kurt Richter says in his preface to this re·issue, every player of consequence has profitcd from Alekhine's books. His annotations

are regarded by the masters themselves as probably the best in ' the world. The re-appcarance of his On the Way to the World Championship suggests that we will see one- or two such each year; and even a player hardly qualified to assess trends in master chess can predict that the fertile imagination of Alekhine will enrich top level chess for a long time to come. Many of the one hundred games here are available in the two volumes Alekhine published in En,E!lish; but this is the only book I know to contain all 34 games of the Capablanea with Alekhine's own notes. The others gathered into six chapters extend from his 1923-1924 tour of the United States through thc tournaments of 1925-1926 to his match with Euwe and victory at Kecskemet 1927. New York 1924 and

1927, treated elsewhere by Alckhine, are omitted here. About a third of the book is devoted to the match with Capablanca; even the quick draws are annotated. Alekhine's prcliminary remarks to the chapters reveal the tenaci ty with which be pursued his man and the many diffi' culties he had to overcome in meeting Capablanca's terms. And each time a new Alekhine book appears, one realiz;es again that while he may not have. been the greatest genius chess has seen (Capablanca was that), he was certainly its greatest player as well as by far its most active. Richter estimates that he must have played more han 50,000 games, 3,000 of them against players oC master or near master strength. His winning margin, according to Chalupelzsky's figures, is 74 percent over 35 years of tournament and match play. He won more first prizcs than any other player in the history of the game. These considerations assure a welcome to the present volume which indeed it merits on its own ac· count as a handsome addition to the bio-bibliography of chess.

That Last Round at Long Beach By KENNETH HARKNESS

USCF Rllting SllIlillicitm

PI~A YERS who attended the U. S. Open at Long" Beach last August are still talking about the dramatic last round w'hen Larry Evans lost to

Rossolim.o and thereby produced a photo finish between the- two FIDE Grandmasters Reshevsky and Rossolimo. The two leaders scored 10 game points each, and rcmaincd deadlockcd under the primary and secondary systems of .breaking tie (Median and Solkoff) . It took the tertiary sys­tem to give the edge to Rossolimo by the narrowest possible margin­just one-quarter of an S-B point.

Since the details of this tie-break were published (Chess Life, Sep­tember 20 issue), some readers have asked what would have happened if Larry Evans had defeated RossoJimo in the final round. Would Reshev­sky's tie· break points have placed him ahead of Evans, or would the younger pla!er have won the title and the Buick automobile?

As shown in the table below, Larry Evans would have won the tournament without any question, if he had beaten Rossolimo. He would have been credil.cd with 62lh Merlian points against 62 for Reshevsky. It woul d not have been necessary to resort to the secondary or tertiary tie-breaking systems, although it is interestil)g [0 note that the S-B sys­tem, using adjusted scores lor both players, would also have broken the tie in favor of Evans.

It is obvious, then~ that Larry Evans was fully justified in playing [or a win in the last round, even though he r isked the loss of a game he could have drawn with ease. IT he had been content with a draw, Larry would have won $783.33, sharing second, third and fourth prizes with Rossolimo and Byrne. By playing for a win, he stood to gain S2,717.00-the difference betwcen $783.00 and the value of the first pri1(!. Against this, he stood to lose only S232.66--the difference between $78-1.33 and the prize money of 5550.00 he actually received after losing to Rossolimo. Presumably, Larry felt that odds of about ll Ih to one were worth taking.

·ROJAM RETURNS FROM THE GRAVE

Following the example of Shcr· lock Holmes and other literary characters whose imaginary corpses would not rcst comfortably in their graves, William Rojam is returning to life for the sole purpose of pro­viding the Editor with an alter ego to si/{n various articles so that the Edilor's own name will not be dis­plilved with immodest <frequency.

Since various illiterate critics in the past have conIused the concept

of a criminal alias and a literary pseudonym, it might be weI! to ex­plain t hat an " alias" such as "the Fox" is used to conceal identity fOr the criminal purposes of escaping arrest, defrauding the· unwary, or other illegitimate purposes; a pseudonym is used by writers mere­ly for practical business reasons without intent to defraud. For ex­ample ErIe Stanley Gardner is also A. A. Fair; Leslie Ford is David Frome as well; and for convenience at times Montgomery Major will be William Rojam.

M RS. Olga Uubtsova of R uss ia won the Women's World

Champions hip Can didates Tour n a­ment with a scor e o f 15-4. Mrs. Lar­issa Volpcr t or Russia took second pI lice wi t h a s core of 141h to 4* . a nd Mrs. Edith .Keller·H errmann o[ Ge rmany fini s hed th ird with 14-5.

Mrs. G isela K. Gresser of New Yot·k and Mrs. Sonja Stevenson 0 {

Palm Springs placed t 2 t h and 13th with scores of 9'k-9'h, in 11 three­way tie with 11th J)1ace win­ne !!', Mrs. Ch aude de Si­Jans of Francc.

Though fin­ish ing wilh an even score in t he top women's tournament of the world is a splendid accomplish­men t. i t is disappointing in view of the splendid start M~s. Gresser bad. She was tied for first place with Mrs. Milunka Laurevie of Yugo­slavia (who finish ed - seventh) through the seventh round. Josing her firs t game in the eighth round . w ith two draws in earlie r rounds. Mrs. Sonja GraC S tevenson stayed in the upper half throughout most of the to urnament, standing fifth at the end or the c:iShlh r ound.

Miss Mona May Karlf did n ot scor e at all well in t his tournament - tlle year s h e spent away from chess betwen the New Orleans and New York tournaments is still tak­ing toll. The r e must also have been some pretty bad luck to have placed ber 17th with a score o [ 5*-13%_

The New York Times p ublished the following seore and comments on one of Miss Karff's games:

One of liar best effortl In MOSCOW .... a$ again. , Mme. Kris,ina Holu1 of Poland. On tlla black side of the Marstla ll v,datloo in the Ruy LOpel, Miss Ka tff NCrificed the king', pawn.

The tournament in which the above game was played was one oC the so-callcd Swiss System tournaments, an example of a new kind oC chess tournament which has sprung up in this country in recent years. The basic idea: of the system is that after each round players of equal scores are paired togethcr Cor the next round. The highest score (based if necessary on a tie-brcaking system) after a set number of rounds is declared the winner.

lhe Swiss System is that a large tourna ment can bc run off i n a short time. The U. S. Open Tourna­ment can determine a winner among almost two hundred players
