c. HAROLD BONE Baytown, Texas • EDWARD I. TREEND

Detroit, Michigan USCF reports with sorrow the deaths or C. Harold Bone and Edward 1.

Treend. From widely separated parts of the country, they nonetheless shared a lremendous and active interest in chess promotion at local. state. and na· lional levels. Gentle manly opponents and a pleasure to meet across the board or in any capaci ty, both were fr ien<lly, consistent, and energetic organizers · ... ·ho will be sadly missed by Amcrican chess. My personal sense of loss is height· ened by memory of the encouragement these two men offered to my eHons in chess organization.

Harold Bone made many fr iends in the chess world while working ~o dili· genUy to promote the game he loved. We established immediate rappon upon Ii rst meeting at the 1959 Southwestern Open and worked closely together dunng the following t tu-ee years on botb Texas and national chcss. Harold e\'entually enC()uraged me to succeed him as President of the Texas Chess Association so that he might devote more time to his d uties as USC F Vice·President for Region VII. In his role as a USCF Vice·President, he then encouraged San Antonio's successful bid for the 1962 Open, as a resul t of which I became national USCF Vice· President and eventually President. He \\"as, therefore. my mentor in both Texas and USCF chess mattcrs, and I was deeply shocke-d to Icarn of his sndden death of a heart attack on July 7.

Ed Treend, too, encouragcd both Sa n Antonio's bid fo r the 1962 U.S. Open and my cand idacy for USCF office. We met at San Francisco during the ]961 U.S. Open, where Ed was as always-a s taunch supporter of USCF and offered sage counsel for the future. lie spoke {rom long·time experient'e as a tournament organizer, a for mer USCF Treasurer. Sc~retar)' of the -'I ichiga n Chess Association, and Secretary of the Detroit Edison Chess Club. He con. tr ib uted much to the USCF business meetings at Chicago, 1963. and a.lwars stood ready to promote chess in any way possible. He was sti ll in a\'ocationai harness as Executive Vice·President of the Mich igan Chess Association upon his death at the age 01 70.

Knowing men like this who give so unselfishly of themselves is one of the fi nest human experiences, and chcss is a common bond whiCh makes it pos· sibl e. We in USCF have lost two wonderful friends with the passing of Harold Bone and Ed Treenrl.

CHESS LIFE

The First Piatigorsky Cup, presented in Los Angeles in July 1963, saw the introduction of a momentous event in the world of chess. Five nations were represented by eight of the most out· standing Grandmasters of our time as World Champion Tigran Petrosian tied for first place with his fellow player from the U.S.S.R., Paul Keres.

The Second Piatigorsky Cup, which began on J uly 17 and continued through August 15, 1966, at the Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica, California, surpassed even the (irst event in this series with its drama, its grip on chess enthusiasts the world over, and the sometimes sur· prising resul ts of its individual encount­ers between the titans of the 64 squares. This double Round Robin, eighteen games over a one-month period, will Undoubtedly rank with the greatest chess competitions of all time.

OrigiMUy planned as an eight-player event, the Second Piatigorsky Cup Tour­nament was endorsed by the World Chess Federation (FIDE) in a special resolution which marked the tourna· ment as one of unusual merit and sig· nificance, and urged that no other major event be scheduled for the same period.

Next arose a series of cirmumstances which at times threatened to impair the importance of the tournament, but which in the fi nal analYSis made it even greater than originally thought possible.

Late in March the Russian question mark apparently became a zero when the Soviet Chess Federation notified Mrs. Piatigorsky that none of their Grandmasters could attend at the time set for the tournament. The choice, of course, was made straightforwardly and eight of the world's finest players were invited, exclusive of the Soviets. In the best of traditions, the tournament would go on. Acceptances were received from U.S. Champion Robert J. Fischer ; from

his compatriot, Samuel Reshevsky ; and [rom Jan Hein Donner, Holland; Botislav Ivkov, Yugoslavia; Jorden Bent Larsen, Denmark; Miguel Na jdorf, Argentina; Lajos Portisch, Hungary; and Wolfgang Unzicker, Germany.

In June came the lightning! The So· viets announced that Petrosian and Spassky, who had just completed their match in which Petroslan successfully defended his World Cham pionship, could be made avaibble for the Piatigorsky Cup after aU! Technical difficulties were overcome in both countries, the organiz­ers did a fantasti cally quick and thor­ough job o( reshaping the event and extending the schedule, and TEN of the world's greatest were set to meet over the board in the Second Piatigorsky Cup!

Not thc least of the changes, one made in view of the added size and most dis· tinguished composition of the entry list, was an increase in prize money ; $20,000 total; $5,000 first; and 51,000 for tenth place.

Never in modern chess history had interest been so high. Of greatest note would be the encounters between the Russians, U.S. Champion Fischer, and the Great Dane, Larsen. There were many who felt that either Larsen or Fischer, or both, were the equal of any player living. The outcome of their games would be awaited keenly through. out the world-hadn't Petrosian him­self expressed his desire to "find out" how well they had progressed? (See July CHESS LIFE, page 152.)

But the problems were not over. On J uly 10, just one week before Piatigorsky Cup play was to begin, came word that the USA·USSR track meet scheduled for !...Os Angeles Coliseum was olf , by arbit­rary and unilateral decision of the So­viets. On Tuesday we learned that the mceting at which this decision had been

AUGUST, 1966 •

made was held, of all possiblc places, at the Moscow Chess Club. On Wednes­day, when they were due to arrive in Santa Monica, Petrosian and Spassky did nol make thei r fli ght connection at Copenhag£!R. Nor did Donner of Holland , who at this point appeared about to withdraw for personal reasons.

The next two days were frantic indeed, with international inquiries flying back and forth aCf03S the Atlantic with far greater freq uence than international chessplayers, and with the question of possible replacements high on the prior· ity list. We have neither the space nor the intimate knowledge nceessary to dis· cuss all that transpired. Suffi ce it to say that in the end all was welJ, with the ten invited players on hand for the open· ing ceremonies. The silver lining, of course, was that the entire sequence of events had received far more publicity and created greater interest than if there had been no problems; great for spectat· or attendance!

On the memorable day-Sunday, July 17---800 chess enthusiasts turned out at the Miramar Hotel to greet the con· testants, the sponsors, and the officials. The tournament was officialJy opened by Jerry Spann of Ok lahoma City, a former USCI<~ President, now Chairman of its International Affairs Committee and FIDE Vice-President for Zone 5 (U.S.A.). A rousing ovation resulted when Mr. Spann introduced Mr. and Mrs. Gregor Piatigorsky, whose continu­ing efforts brought the tournament to fru ition. (TERRA CHESS qu o t e s the world·renowned cellist as saying, " In the world or music, I am known as a cellist. In the world of chess, I am known as the husband of Mrs. Piatigor. sky.")

After months of planning, the moment was at hand. Tournament Director Isaac Kashdan, himself an International Grandmaster, introduced the players ; the clocks were started, and history was in the making.

Round Two There was considerably more action

in the second round than in the first. The games were longer, with lour out of £ive going into a second session. The bnttles were much more tense all around. Although three games were drawn, any of them could have been decisive.

Were the players feeling eaeh other out in the opening round, and now have no further need fo r sparring? Or are they now fu lly acclimated arter the vast distances most of them covered to get here?

Whatever the reason, the grandmas· ters were in the mood to play great chess, and they delivered. The large au· dience reli shed the action. Many of them c.ame back Tuesday morning, when th ~ adjourned games were completed.

Round Three World Champion Pei rosian rarely los·

es a game. His defensive skill is one of his outstanding qualities. When behind in material or if he has an infe rior po· sition, he creates a series of problems fo r his opponent, and generally escapes.

Thu s it was real news when Portisch came thr ough with a victory in 32 moves. We believe th is I S the third time in his career that Portisch has downed Petrosian, a worthy record .

In the first Piatigorsky Cup competi­tion three years ago, Petrosian also star ted poorly, losing to Gligoric in the second round. This proved to be his only loss, however, and he went on to ti c with Keres for the top prize. Is this another year?

Round Four AU fivc games were drawn in this

round. Somcth.ing wrong, you say? The players arc not trying, perhaps~ The situation is worth analyzing.

There were tremendous variations in some respects. The shortest game was 16 moves, the longest 80, both records for the tournament to date . On a lime basis. one lasted just over three hours and another almost e leven hours.

As skill increases in chess, the per­centage of draws inevitably rises. Among novices a draw is a rarity. Oversights, even to allowing a mate in one, are all too common .

With the grandmasters you are in a different world. Threats and parries ar c (ar morc subtle. What appears to be a quiet. aimless series of moves, may have undercurrents of remarkable combina­tions, which both players have seen, but do not actually occur on the board.

A drawn game, which may look d ull . may have been a sharp co nflict, with neither player being able to inllict his will on the other.

On the other hand, there is the so. called grandmaster draw. This is a game in which the players have made no real effort. Perhaps they respect each other too much, perhaps they arc exhausted [rom a previous difficult st ruggle. and need morc rest . Such a game is called a draw with very few moves made, Cew pieces exchanged and all kinds of possi· bilities for p lay.

It would certainly be reprehensible for players to agree in advance o n a draw. This is r arely done, but players are soon aware of each other's peaceful inten· tions. Either way, the grandmaster draw is unfair to sponsors, specta tors and to the world of chess in general. We ex· pect o f the masters that they will g ive o f their bes t at a ll ti mes.

What then of this tour na ment? Fifteen of 20 games have been drawn , a h igh per· centage, bllt indicative of the almost equal strength of this group. No matter what the pairings, theSe are worthy op· ponents.

Every tournament has a game that goes on a nd on. Adjournments are neces­sary intervals. Arter all, eve ryone needs some time to eat and sleep- and analyze.

This game was played from 6:30 to 11 :30 p.m. Thursday, and continued on Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 6 :30 p.m., a total oC lO'h hours.

At that stage Larsen was in time trouble! He had eight moves to make in about one minute. This was the .fourtil control point since the game started ages ago.

264 AT EASTERN I The recently formed National Chess Club of Washington, D.C. made its first open tournament venture a rousing suc­cess. The Eastern Open, played July 1·4 at the Mayflower Hotel in washington, drew 264 players, tying the all·time United States record set by the 1963 U.S, Open in Chicago.

At (irst it was believed that a new mark had been set, but rtve players listed on the wall chart never showc1 up. At the 1963 Open, a record of 266 was supposedly set; however our records show that two of those players did not participate. So the two events arc now tied for first with 264 on the all·time attendance list.

This was the seventh tournament in American chess history to have over 200 contestants. Here's how they stand: 1·2. 1966 Eastern Open, Washington .. 264 1-2. 1963 U.S. Open, Chlcago ................ 264

ROSSOLIMO TOPS Nicholas Rossolimo, winner of the

Eastern Open on tie-break, played draws with Martin Stark and Pal Benko. Also scoring 7-1 were Arthur Bisguier, Mich· ael Valvo and Leroy Jackson, who fin ish· ed in the order named. Blsguier lost to John Meyer, Valvo to Jack Mayer and Jackson to Arnold Guadagnini. The fol­lowing achieved scores of 6!h ·I1h : Pal Benko, Bernard Zuckerman, Steven Brandwein, Leroy Dubeck, John Meyer, Arnold Guadagnlnl. Lawrence Lipking and Allen VanGelder. Lipking won the Expert prize on tie·break over Guad­agnlm; VanGelder was top unrated. Other prizes went to: A-Steven Spcncer (6), B-Pedro Saavedra (5 1ft), C-Joh n Aptt (5¥.z), D-Donald Berniker and Michael Bodansky (4) , Junior- Walter Browne (6), Woman - Ec1esla Cestone (3\1).

AUGUST, 1966

USCF T Coordination Plan by Peter P. Derrow

With the growth of the USCF to almost 10,000 members, the American chess-player has a wide and varied choice of tournaments to attend. Almost every region has developed an intensive schedule of events, both open and closed. One feature of this dramatic increase in activity is an increase in competition between events for aUen­dance by both strong and not-so·strong players. When nearby events are schedu· led for the same dates, as sometimes occurs, the competition becomes conrIict: the USCF member is faced with two attractive events and he cannot attend both.

The need for coordination in tourna­ment scheduling has been present for some time, and a step was made in the Froemke resolution of 1964 (CHESS LIFE, page 278). To implement this resolution, the USCF is establishing a national clearing.house for tournament scheduling, called the National Tourna­ment Coordination Plan, or NTCP. All affiliates (and Canadian clubs) are urged to cooperate with this plan, starti ng now with planning for the tournaments to be held in Spring 1967.

The essence of the ylan is to have . 11 chess events of general interest sehedu· led well in advance, and have the dales and sites for the events submitled to NTCP for review. Any resultant con· flicts can be communicated to all affil­iateS concerned with suffi cient time {or changes to be made as deemed advis· able by the sponsors. In addition, a complete list of chess events registered with NTCP will be published in CHESS LIFE (beginning this November), so that players and organizers can make plans well in advance.

All chess events wishing to attract players or spectators from a wide area should be registered with NTCP. This includes all national and state champion· ships, all open and amateur events, and all other activities of wide public interest, such as international tourna, ments, master events. etc. Events should

be registered as follows: Deadline October 1st for a ll "Spring"

events (February-May). Dudline FebrUilry 1st for all "Sum·

mer" events (June-September). Deadline June 1st for all "Fall"

events (October.January). Tournaments must be submitted to

NTCP, e/ o Peter Berlow, Chemistry Department, CorneU University, Ithaca, N.Y. 14840 with the basic information on a postal card, including:

Name of event. Number of rounds; Swiss or Round

Robin. Open, or limited to . . . ? Tentative dates. City and State. Sponsoring Affiliate. Name and address of person in charge

or event. For "Tournament Life" publicity, an

addition.J announcement with full de­tails, including registration time and place, entry and membership fees, prizes and other conditions, must be submitted to CHESS LIFE in the usual manner at least two months before the event.

LEROY JACKSON Leroy Jackson. a 17-yl!ar old ju nior at

Sumner High School In St. Louis, Missouri, was the big surprise of the 1966 Eastern Open and promises to reach greater heights in the future. Players at the Eastern watched with increasing amaze ment as the young man with the 1964 r ating on the wallboard chalked up one point after another, capped by victories over Radojcic and Popovych. Act ually. that rating was bas· ed on just one tourn ament played las t year ; Jackson has been very active reo cently and should now be dose to the Master level . This year he won the St. Louis High School Championship 6"(), the St. ' Louis District Qualifier t .(). and in rated events swept the St. Louis District Championshi p 5-0 and the Missouri Open Championship 6·0, induding a win over uscr Master John Ragan. Touring the East, he was undefeated in two New England tournaments In June before scoring his biggest triumph yet in th l! Eastern. Here is his crucial last rou nd win over Popovych.

NEW JUNIOR CHAMP IN NEW YORK

The 1966 New York City Ju nior Championship was won by Harry Ploss, a 19-year old student at Cooper Union. Ploss edged out Greater New York High School Champion Sal Matera on tic-break after both posted 7·1 scores to pace a record field of 139 players under 21 at the Henry Hudson Hotel, July 9-10-16-17.

Norman w einstein, 15, placed third and Andrew Soltis, 1964 and 1965 cham· pion, Courth, both with 6lh -Ph. Fil th through eleventh with 6-2 were Mayer Riff, Douglas Pader, Steve Tarin, Bruce Fuchs, Mare LenoU, Marc YoUie and Gary Pokolk.

For the second straight year, Matera was Under·16 Champion; Weinstein and Looof! took the next two places. Eugene Meyer and Thomas Brennan followed with slh:.

ll·year old Hal Lloyd turned in an outstanding :5-3 score to win the Under· 13 Championship. Second with 4-4 was Anthony Shuen, the Greater New York Elementary School Champion.

A Cour.way deadlock was resolved In the fi nal round as Ploss beat Fuchs while Matera downed Riff. Ploss drew with Matera in round seven; earlier Ploss had drawn with Bruce Altschuler and Matera with Tarin. Defending Champion Soltis was upset by Pader in the fourth round - his first loss in three years of NYC J unior Championship play. Although this was Ploss' first major tournament vic­tory, it was not altogether unexpected as he bad entered the Expert class by his strong showing in the Marshall Open the month before.

Class prizes were won by: A- Pader (6), B-John Tilrun Wh ), C-Domenick Amato (511.1), D-Edward Frumkin (5), E--Brian Klelmmer (4), Under·1Ooo -Thomas Houston (3), Unrated- Donald Brown (4). William Coicbberg directed.

Welcome Back, Jerry! For several years prior to 1964, Jerry

Spann of Oklahoma City served chess exceedingly well in the dual capacity of USCF International Affairs Committee Chairman and FIDE (World Chess Fed­eration) Vice·President, Zone 5 (U.S.A.). At 1964's business meetings in Boston we were all sorry to learn that the press of business and personal matters made it necessary for him to relinquish his posts.

We have been fortunate during the past two years to have International Grandmaster Isaac Kashdan as USCF In­ternational Affairs Committec Chairman and former USCF President Fred Cram­er as our FIDE Vice-President, Zone 5. We all owe a vote of thanks to these two gentlemen for their fine perform­ances, in the course of which they were among the first to recognize that split­ting the posts and their interlocking re­sponsibilities had resulted in a certain amount of confusion on the part of FIDE (which proceeded to send bits of information to each of them plus Spann, and complete information to no one) and even within USCF itseU. Therefore, we were all happy to learn last month that Jerry Spann was willing and ready to resume his former duties. Effective in July, he once again became our USCF International Affairs Committee Chair­man and FIDE Vice-president, Zone 5. Kashdan and Cramer have agreed to re­main as members of the International Affairs Committee.

CHESS LIFE

MY CHESS CAREER by

J. R. Capobianco

Wri tten one year before he became World Champion. this book relives in Capablanca's own words 35 of his great­est games and those events of his life relevant to his chess career. The reader is ulcreby given the rarc opportunity of studying not only a magnificent collection of individual games, but also Capa­blanca's gradual development from the greatest chess prodigy of all time to World C hampion and the Illost successful tournament pL1yer in the history of the game. His opponents in these games are some of the greatest players of the lime: Alekhine, Janowski, Nicmzowitch, Yates, Marshall, and Bernstein, to name a few.

Capablanca's annotations to the game are thorough and honest. He pauses often to make his thinking clear to the reader. He considers the relative merits of a variant strategy, explains h is reasons for an obscure move, points out his own or his opponent's weaknesses. Suggestions tha t can improve your own game a re to be found in nearly every paragraph, both in the notes on ind ividual games and the short conclud ing essay on basic precepts of opening, middle, and end· game strater:' All chessplayers, .regard· less of leve of e1I:'pericn<.'e, can tum to this book again and agaiJl with increasing profit,

PILLSBURY'S CHESS CAREER

by

Sergeant & Watts

Harry Nelson Pillsbury cntered the great Hastings Tournament in 1895, a player relatively unknown to the world of chess. To the ama7.cment of all, he emerged the winner of the tournament. This accomplishment is staggering when we look at the list of his opponents: World Champion Lasker, Former World Champion Steinitz, Tarrasch, Tehigorin. and other great p layers.

This book follows Plilsbury's short but impressive career in 233 games, all of which are enterta ining, and many gems of the first water. &!lides the Hastings confront ations, there arc his outstanding gamC.'l at the St. Petersburg Quadrangu. lar, Nuremberg, Budapest. Vienna, and other international tournaments. There arc indivJdual match games, inter·club and exhibition games, and displays of b lindfold wizard r~ (a t which Pillsbury was master second to none).

Bird. Janowski, Lasker, Blackburne, ~licscs. Schlechter, Marshall . Bum, Ta r· rasch , Steini tz, t.-tarmcy, Tchigorin, and Showalter are some of the fonnidable giants with whom Pillshury does hattie in this choice selection of games. In addi· tion to ins tructive noles on tlle individual games, the authors give a brief b io· graphical sketch of Pillsbury's Career.

The Presidential Report What happened to it? Here we are, at the end of this issue, and no sign of it. Well , it 's like this. We've been trying to catch up on our distribution date,;;

you may have noticed that your August issue arrived within two weeks of your July issue. As part or our catch·up campaign, this issue was pretty well laid out, to include the Presidential Report, when we suddenly received a flood of Piatigorsky Cup material.

We couldn't le;lgthen Ole issue and include both without delayi ng dislribution­someth ing we definitely thought you wou ldn't like. We reasoned that, given a choiCC!, you'd want t.he Piatigorsky inrormation. So, Ihe Presidential Report has been held out for September.

Hope you don't mind . And we guarantee to print it in September, even thougl1 it might mean more pages next month .
