Vol. IV, Number 9 Thursday, January 5, 1950 --AN OLD ENGLiSH CUSTOM R EADERS may Itometimes wonder (and we do not blame them fop

their bewilderment) if the Editor can spell. in noUng the "Yal'ious rendiUons of the same name, sometimes in the same issue of CHESS LIFE. Let us hasten to l'eassure the reader that no ' rules have been violated; tlle Editor is merely -adhering to an old English custom ot tree alle lllng, dating back to Elizabethan days when words were not spelled according to inflexible regulations but according to the mood ot the Wl'lter at the moment. Thus the tamily of the great Elizabethan drama.­tist wrote their name gJ'andly as Shakespeare ' when they telt prond or curtly as ShaxPu l' when in a hUITY, with some thirty other al'rangements of the letters to tit their varying moods.

There Is no set rule for the transliteration of names (rom the Cyril· lic al phabet to the Englls il. and so a ll . SIa.vic names al'e dedicated to confusion wIlen naturali:wd Into English. OUl' good friend, Dr. Buschke, in obedience to hi s Gel'lnanic training writes Bogollubov, whereas to us the name looks neater as Dogoljuboft-it is a matter of per&enal taste and educational background. \Ve write Botvinnik, whereas some others prefer Botwinnik; alld we trust the readel' is not confUSed thereby.

But while this confusion of foreig n names remains a chaos beyond pnler, we t rust that those Europeaus who settle in these United States or Caoaau, wiD lend a b.aQ.d In naturalizing their names into one stand­.. -~ ....... \6 • .I4itor (InlU'ed" as he fs {o {he varagies 1n nomen-

Fort.unately for future generation8, most o! the great names eventu­a lly become standardized like Alekblno or their vQl' iants are recogniz­able like Nimzowltsch (Nlmzovitch). Chlgorln (Tchlgorin).

TWO WAYS OF PROMOTING CHESS By HA NS KMOCH

Vi(t·PrfJ;J~lIt, U"iltJ S'a'tt ChtJl FtJtrillitm

T HIS COUNTRY has in the past produccd MOrtlily, PHisbury and MarshaJl. lias rostered Callablallca. has enabled Stelnitz and Eman·

uel Lasker to become World Champions. has by Its team four times won the (to use a shnplUled expression) Olympian Championship, while at the prescnt it has 10 )<' ine and R eshev.sky two recognized candidates for the World Championship. Nonetheless the pulsation of U. S. chest lI(e has In comparl.son with Europe always been astonishingly weak. Chess life everywhere culminates In, and Is In l'etul'!I most effectively s titnulat­ed by international tournanlents. Such tournaments, however. are very ral'e In this country; scores ot them have always been held In Europe be­fore the U. S. could organize one. All the American cheas he roes WOUld , ha.ve withered as flowers In the desert had they lacked the possibility of pl'ovlng their Q.ualitles In Europe. Take e.g. Pillsbury who participated In all together twelve great international tournaments; ele\'en of thelle contests took 1llace In EUl'ope, and only one (cambridge Springs 1904. his lut) In the United States. Isn't It Ignomillous?

The conclusion is tha.t chess in this country has been hampered by -some faclorll the 8ign lflcance ot which has 80 far been underestimated.

In deed, there a re first of all strongly excusing tactors provided by history and geograpby. While cbess life in Europe largely roots In tl'adi­tion , old culture, aud ths competins torcel& arfsln" from a. var iety of in' dependent nations, many of them small. H. lacks such roots in this coun­try which. speakJng In terms ot history, Is sUl I a baby. -and s peaking In terms of goorgrallhy a gigantic hermitage. Yes. the oragnbatlon ot in­ter national chess contests in the United Slates Is for obvious re&llons immeasurably more dlfUcult than In Europe.

However, these a rguments are couvlneins only if looked at from the European economic stan~arm as agains t the Immeasurably greater wealth of tbls country. they fade -away. The United States. for all ItIIo handicaps. could easily organize International tournalllenl$ If there ~':Je enough Inter.,est in chess. Why is this interest so low? t,t

One reason ot overwhelming Importance Is that unlike ~~·~fupe, the United States dr ives chess players to 8r.tlusion. 0\"'-

In most European coffeehouses and similar pL.f.t.. a nYbody may order a cup of coffee and a chess set, and play tor hOllrs .",.H.hout getting bothered. except probably by klblt%el's. I mYIJ~'t did 80 frequently not only In large clUes but a lso tn small PlaCel\'Vi' many European cou,ntrJea; I did 80 In Centinje, fo rmer Montenegft;\~ pocket·sllted capital lylllK high

In tile mountains, and T did so In such an ~xtremely swanky place as Mon te Carlo. -

Nobody can qo that in tIle United States. A chess master aud a very dignified man, accompanied by a friend ,

recenUy tried it in a New York chain resta urant-ot course dUring the Quiet hQurs. Being sanc. he did not order a chess set bul used his own. Unexpectedly left undistt'ubed, they tried it again thc llext day. This time. however, tht) manager oobbed and politely ousted thcm iexplainlng that what the genUemeut were doing dhl not look gooo.

Uilder such circunlsLances, the popula rizatioll of chess in this COUII­try is ~everely hampered. Chess playeu can meel only 1\t home or in a cbess cluh which~ howcver, is moro complicated than just entel' ing a cafe. Moreover. it lacks the pr011agating power that playing clless in public has. During the period ot warm weather, chess Illayers (In New York at least) frequently gather in public pal'ks and always attract on· lookers as does the Manllatlan Chess Club wbere someUmcs more people are kibitzing outsfde t.han arc playing inside. But as soon as the wealher ch:mges, these people h'lve to hibernate; signs of "No lingering" as well as watchf\ll ~ managers would lu.ep tbem away frolll restaurants. cates. teal·ooms. cafeterias. l.Ial'S etc.

1 llelleve that every efrort should l.Ie made, by organizations as well as iild lviduaTs, to lift this han on chess. Progress in this regard, however s ligh t. would !;:reatly serve to make chess in th is country 1Il0re populal'. One must realize that the game Of chess is almost exclus ively learned through onlooking and geltlng advice [rom friend s or relatives; only those who all'eadY got a fa.illt idea of it are inclined to go turther by the means or books, clubs, expert teachers and so on.

A second field where V. S. chess should and could mllke snbsoontial progress is the press. Indeed. U. S. neW~ tlers observe a more friendly a ttitude towarlls ~hess than U. S. restaurants do. yet it Is desperately little In comparison with what the European press is doing. 'Vhile most European newspallers havs a regular chess coluDln, most U. S. news­papers have none.IO( the rew U. S. chess columns there are, tew are being condueted by exp'erts. none by thls country'.}! leading experl& Fine and Re8hevsky. Besides, the unfortunate Idea of considering all U. S. chess players as beginners seems to IIrev-a il , and so the columns are largely kept on a very primitive level containing little that could pleaae and further educate tbe average ehesa playel'S.

Therefol·e. in ;additlon to the possibility or being pla.yed in public. U. S. chess urgenfly n",eds mOl'e -and beltel' chess columns In dally news­pUpers, columns or apPI'Oximateiy the .level on which the bridge columns s16nd .

To stri\,e· for progress in these two regards, It would be necessary to convince aulitorIHes.- newspapers and leading pel'sonalHles of the royal game's morale va lue. It would he necessary to convince them, that the chess community as ... whole belonss to the mo!:o1. decent part of the nation. and tha t Ilromcting chess, though for the lime being It may re­Quire small sacriflc"..ls. would pay in the long I'un by stimulating par­ticularly In young people the Ul'ge for decency and noblesse.

A National Rating System Planned To Cover Local And National Events

ot the United Sta1.es. The work Involved III setting UII a practical l'ntlng plan has. ot neees~llty . been time-consuming; It was Imoortant to give con· sideratlon to rathig practices used In certain other countries. IlS well o.s to examine and study original Ideas proposed by Amcrican players. for we were determined that the system tlnally adopted would be the best obtaJnable, 0.11d one eminently fair to all of our COUiltry's players.

The studies and the prellmlDl'll'Y detail ha've no.",. been comllillted, and your Federation officers will shortly be 1l1'IlSented with a definitive rating plan for their aPPl'oval; It Ls, tilere(ore. our confident hope that a na.tional rating sys tem will be In effect. early In 1950. Full details or the final "hill adopted will he published In fulure Issues of CHESS LIFi';­but right now we can assure you of cel'tain features of the plan- features you ha\'e every right 10 ex pect under a. fair and practical system of rntlng;

1) It will he a rating system designCII for all chess -players in the United Sla.tes. and will give weight to performances in club. loca l, and s tate compeUlion, as well as In the large national tournaments.

2) It will he :\ completely fair system. entirely ma.thematical In opera tion, and only tile player's actual performa.nce-not anyone's pe rsonal opinion on his cheaslc proweSS-Will he taken Into considera tion.

3) It will provide the 68slest Jl()sSlble mothod of -and l.ncenUve fo r-impl'ovement and .ad,'nncement to the aspiring player.

.) Last, but nQt least. it will tinally solve the perplexing problem of which Amel'lcan player.s can prolllll' ly be dubbed "masters." a question which bas certainly led to some heated contro­versies In the {)S8L

We believe that such a rating system will prove extremely pOpular with the chess players of the United States. We feel that practically all of you a re anxious to learn ot your stl'ength and standing in the national chess commnnlty (the popularity of the various correspondence rank· Ings amply substantiates this view), and we are conndent that our national rating system will meet ~Itb your Instantaneous SUPllOrt and wholehearted cooperation.

AdditiDnal Oat:!

By A. BUIChke

I N HIS recently published book, THE U,NKNOWN ALEKHlNE,

Fred rlelnteld points out two in. stances which show a remal'kable "lack at sportsmanship" on the part uf Alekhlne. One is·the suppreSSion or olllissioll of the (act tllat, as a very young man in I!108, he played a match with the much older ree­ogulzed mastel' V. L. NCllarokov, lost three ga mes in succession u'lld gave Ill) the match as lust, from his "Sulllmary of Results" of tou l·lla. Illent and match play inserted In his book, " !'Il y Uest Games of Chass 1908-1923." (See "Unknown Alek­hine." p. 45). The olher one is the history ot the Alekhine-Tenner game which Aleklline mentioned In the sallie book, on p. 240 in a note to a game with Teichmaun, and claimed as Ii win while actually t hc game was played at a different time and ended in a dl'aw ("Un­known Alekh ine," p. 93).

It one goes through the "Sum. mary ot Results" published in "My Best Games of Chess 1908·1923." he will notiCe a number or inconslsl­encles not .only with the s urvey given in the Gel"lnan edition ot the book under heading "Dr. AlJechins Erfolg8tabelle (1908-1927)", but with data given in the text ot the book and even in itself. A correct­ed and dertnlte "Summary ot Alek­hiue's Results" indexing ail the IlUblished Alekhinc games with their place ot publication will be publi shed by the wl'iter of this ar­ticle at a later date. As long as only Alellhlne's own "Summary" is a.vall. able and this (in the English ver­sion) shows such Incousistencies as the listing or the "1913 St. Petel'sburg Quadrangular Tourna­mcnt" with a total of 4 (!) games played of which Alek.hlne claims 10 )!:o,"~ "'c n two. loot 1 {lnd 'G.I·:twi. uone, one could think that this SUlD ln.1ry is just carelessly put to­gether and this might explain the omlss(on of the Nenarokov match In the Summary. However. It Is interesting to note that the Sum­mary In the English version mell­tions the won match with llIumen. feld (see a lso tho "result" of this match g iven In the masthead to game No. 3G or the "Best Games 1908- 1.923"), while the Germa n " Erfolgstabelle" S~IlIS to sk ip in­tentionally events or 1908 and thereCol'e talla to mention the Blu menfeld mnteh as well as lhe Nells, rokov match. and the heading of game 110. 36 with Blumenfeld in the' German wiUon mentions only thal this was played " in II. match Moscow, OCtobc.r 1908:' OC course: bOth ed it ions do 110t meuUou at all Alekhlne's rh'st appearance in the inten\at!onal chess arena. at the Dusseldorf "liaupUu rnler" of 1908, hi li matches with von Bardeleben and ~~ab "'li , several local Moscow tournaments o! 1908 (except In the heading to game No. 35 In "Bcst Games 1908-1923" ), In which tbe very young Alekhine took scvora l fint prizes.

Obvk:tusly the mature Alekhlne found or Wanted to pretend to find Ille year 1908 too Insignificant al­though, stra ngely enough, he did nol find it too Insignificant to fig­ure III the very title of the hook as the s tartlug- point ot his career. Possibly he reaJly bad fo rgotten about the events ot that year and whatever he cited (rom memory was not quite COfl"cct--e.g., the llIumenfeld match, according to contemporary repoflt!l in the fi rst Issue arter the reappearance ot "Shakbmatnoe Oboz,'enle" (whicb devotes more than two pages to young Alekhlne's ac.tlvltles in 1908, Including the Nenarokov matcb. No. 79·82, p. 66068, 1909), consisted of only 5 gawes (not 8 as Alokhlne reports) ot which Alekhfne won 4 an ddrew one. The same result Is also reported in "Deutsches Woch­enscbacb" 1908.

T he 1)1"8.cllcai results t herefore bespeak a hard Inner core of r eshltanC6 which prOllliles well fO l' tbo d urability of the defense. In com· mon with other defenses which arc somewhat cramped but resllle.nt, t he Dragon Variation b a lin \! of play in which Black, given favorable con­ditions, can strike out with al\ the breathtaking thrust of a n uncoiled sp rmg.

cons idered. The great objection to th is lies in ita discrimination a· gainst unknown players and known weaker players. These are placed before the s tarting move a t a PIJY· chological disadvantage, since tbey &re informed that tbey are to play a stronge r player in tbe 1s t Round ! The correct tournal~lent Is one where past experience Is not used. all players starting on an equal looting.

However, since the majorily of s trong players wanted seeding. a seed ing system was evolved wh ich proved to lie automalic In Its work· hlK' III th e 1948 Queboc ProYlnelll1 I ChallllllOlls hl p, the lliayent wore ranke(] earlier from 1 to 29, plnyer L vs. 15; 2 VB. 16 : e lc., with Ilair. IlIgs - of s ubsequent rounds c hosen by lot, (of course "'Ith lst prior· ity to matching player ,with an equal lIumber ot I)oints). However Ule resliit was that the two Co­Champions bad not played agains t e:lch other, and one of tbem had lIot Illayed against the Ird prize­winner In add ition.

In the 1949 Championship the Illayers were ranked this time trom 1 to :!:6. on what I shall call the Seeding L ist, and were tor the lilt Round divided into g roups or 8 rrom the top. Thus the pairing for lhe 1st Rou nd was a nnoun coo 0.1

follows: 1 vs. 5; 2 vs. 6; 3 vs. 1; 4 vs. 8; 9 vs. 13; 10 vs. H; etc.

Aher the 1s t Round, those play· e rs ..... Ith 1 poillt were again ranked ACcording to the Seeding Lis t, and s imila rly for those with % and 0 points. The pa irings for the 2nd Rounc'l were now tightened by formi ng groups of six players in this second list. Thus 1 'Vs. 4; 2 VI. 5; 3 vs. 6; 7 vs. 10; 8 VB. 11 ; etc. For the lrd Round, players were divided In to groups 01 four, o n a new rankiug 1I11l, again with lst priori ty to nu mber of points won, and then to ranking on the Seeding L lsL NoW' 1 p layed vs. 3 : 2 vs. 4; 5 VB. 1; etc. It is to be noted that the above numbers re­fer to the rankLng ot players on cach ncw ranking list.

~'or the rema ining 3 rounds, pair· Ings werc chosen by lot, between players of equal scores.

As a result. the Champion played against the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 8th, 10th. find 12th players In the fina l scar&­table. The 2nd prillewinner played against the ht, Srd, 4th, 11th, 14 th , and 18th players. The 3rd prize­winner played against tbe 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 16th, and 19th players.

All a result of tbls automatic SYS­tem the 1s t 3 prize winners had met very s trong opposition, and the Cham pion had me t no weak opposition whatever.

POI;I;on No. 68 By M. Marysko

White To Play And. Win! Conducted by WiUiam Rojam

P OSITION NO. 67 is a classic composition. published In 1929 and r e­published by Sbakhmaty in 1949, which features very subtle play and

underpromotlon ot a pawn. It will well repay carerul study, ror It Is a work or ·art.

Pos iUon No. 68 is a practical stud y In the technique of winning with equal liawolJ--by no mellns an easy "ictory even when the \Yhl te King hall advantage in position.

Alas. the best of composers will slip upon occasion; a nd No. 65 by Ulcbard K. Guy in December 5th issue was a n example or Jove nodd ing. Scarcely was the Ink dry on the edition when Dr. J u lius S. Weiugart of Dell Molues wrote to point out that 1. K·Kt2, B-K8!; t. P·R7, BJ.: P ; 3. p ·(J8{Q). B-D3 ch ! leaves White fighting ror a draw. Other solvers who found the same lin e were: Nell Bernstein (Brooklyn) . Art Mease (Read· io&) , K J . Yan Sweden (Gra nd Rapids), Carl Weberg (Salina), Malcolm Sim (Toron to), Nell P. Wblt tlng (Salem ). Congratulations to these eagle­eyed solvel"l.

THE IDEAS BEHIND THE CHESS OP ENIN GS by Reuben Fine; Phlla· delphia : David McKay ($2.50), Seeond edition.

TH E o nly dllterence betweeu thla alld the (I rst editio n Is the koy, Ing ot diagrams and lines o t play to the a uthor's "PrRCtlcnl Cheas

Openings" In~tent~ ot to his edition of MCO. The paper t.nd binding a ro thlllller here, bu t the a na lyses, being identical, are solidly In· s tructi'Vc. Advanced studenta will no doubt regret that the present editiOn doea not take advantage ot modifications In opening theory developed s ince 1943. But tor the ordinary player o r lor the mnn jus t paSl a chess primer, tbls edition, like Its predecessor , will bring order ou t or chaos. Another grandmaster may quibble with Reuben F ine's estimates of certain lines of play; but the clarity with which the a uthor de fines objectives and tbe logic with wh ich he pursues them will ne\'er lose their value tor club a nd even tour nament players.

The eh::ht chapters survey a ll of the s ta nda rd openings. The seetlon 011 the FI'ench Defense wiD Illu strate both the coverage and the method. 1'hirteen pages, Including eh;ht d lagrama, begin wltb t he four principal continuations for White on this third move, describe In each variation oonsidered Black's best replies and the reason lor them. aud oonelude with variations beginning at later moves. Typo­g rnplllca l devices like italics, bold·face type, and frequent parsgraph· ing are worked Into a systematic presentation thnt charts olle'l path through the print.

I have hea rd many players say that they never renlly knew wha t they were tlol ng In the opening nnUl they had rea(1 this book. It Is not the monu ment that PCO Is nor the mallter lliece tha t Fine's "Basic Chess Ending." Is, bllt In ma'ny ways It s hould be more useful than either Of these to the averllge player, who most often loses his way early be­cause he does not unde rstnnd the Ideas behind the cheHS openings.
