AVRAM SCORES IN . DISTRICT

The victory of Herbert M. Av· ram of Arlington, Va. in the Dis· trict of Colu mbia Open foiled for the third time the bid' of Martin C. Stark to retire the I.S. Turover Truphy by winning it three times in succession. Since it was placed in competition in 1930, the trophy has led a charmed life; a genera· tion of fine players has failed to produce a master able to retire the silver e mblem, although Stark has won twice in a I'OW upon three sep. anile occasions.

Avram in winning scored 8-1, losing only to Morl o n Seidelman, Stark and Hans Berliner tied for second with 7·2 each, and 1. Ro­manenko was Cour th with 54, fol­lowed by Chess Life columnist Ed­mu nd Nas h and Morton Seidelman wHh 4-5 each. Stark lost to Avram and drew with Romanenko and Nash, while urawing with Stark and John n. Hice, Jt'.

WHAT! NO MATCH AT BUENOS AIRES

According to Il cablegram t'c· ceived from the Argentina Ciless Federation, the International Team Matches at BUenos Aires this Sep­tember have been cancelled, due to "unforeseen circumstllnces". Whether FIDE can relocate lhe 1954 Assembly and International Team Matches on such short no­tice remains dubious, and it is possible that the Team Tourna­ment will have to be postponed un· til 1955.

OWNS CHESS SET OF PAUL. MORPHY

The original chess board and chessmen Pau.! Morphy learned to play on when he was 10 years old is now the mm t highly cherished possession of C. G. Fleming, 806 Wilson Drive, New Orleans, a ehess player and an avid Morphy fan . Fleming, who has had the Morphy chess articles about a year and a ha lf, says " next to my wife and childre n, I valUe them most"

The board is of leather (with black and white squares) about 24 inchcs square and has, of course, faded with age. The woode n chess men, of club si'le Staunton pattern, are in excellent condition. Fleming re­stored their original lustre ·by first washing them with Ivory Hakes with lukewarm· water, rInsing with cold water, and polishing with a dry woolen rag. Then he put on liquid wux to g,ive them a sheen.

Fleming purchased the Morphy ehess se t und 'chess men from a descendant o{ the lady who, first owned the board and men after MOI'phy's death. While the lady owned it, it was one of he r most pl·ired possessions.

Morphy played chcss on the board with his (ather and grand­lather.

There arc 25 questions, counting 4% each; give yourself partial credit on the appropriate questions. A score of '10-100 is excellent, 55-69 very good, 40-54 good, 25-39 fair, and a score und er 20 indicates that a visit to your chess library is in order! (Of several N.

LONG about this time of the sum· mer your repor ter has in past

This year pro­fessional duties force me to remain here in New York and for the first lime in a long time CHESS LIFE IN NEW YORK, Aug. 5th issue, is being written from New York rather than from Tampa, Milwaukee, or even New Orleans!

Wilh more than a few oC New York's top players out of town at the moment, serious competition is at a relative standstill here. The Marshall Chess Club preliminaries have ,begun with more than forty players vieing for the r ight to be finalists in the club championship to start in thc fall ; previ ous cham­pions and last year's prizewinners are already assured of a place in the finals. A summer tournament is in progress at the Manhattan Chess Club with almost the enlire junior merrlbcrship participating; interest in its non-master players has certainly picked up at the ltian· haUan Club in the last couple of yeus!

Your reporter's chess activity had been confined recenlly to off· hand games and chess talk with personal fr iends up at Columbia University-unli! I made the mis· take of showing an old chess puz­zle for the group to solve. From then on, until the solution \lI'as finally discovered by one of them (a snan of some days!) no one would play chess or talk chess and my spare time was spent watching them attempt to discover the solu· tion ! A word to the--wise is suf­ficient: don't show your chess part­ners a problem, if you want to playa game with them in the nC<lr future!

The actual problem has no doubt been published in some American magazine in recent years, but yours truly Iirst saw it in a British peri­odic<ll some seven or eight years ago.

LUCAN_ Pharsalia

As we go to press, the ardent followers of chess life gathered in the noble city of New Orleans to enjoy that 'annual chess festival known

as the U.S. Open Championship. The Open as practiced in the United Sllltes is a democratic insti·

tution dedicated to th e concept that master, expert, am.ateur and .begin. ncr should meet occasionally, match wits and talents, and enjoy in greater measure the com mon friendship and fellowship-of chess.

The Open is also dedicated to the unexpected, and therefore in it more than onc unknown player has entered it unheralded and left i t well know in the realms of chess. All this is as it sho'uld be. For the Open is the tournament of the amateur player, to. wh i~ the master is indeed welcome and invited, but not made, for once; the pivot. The Open is for M.r .• John Q. Ipublic o[ chess. ,.

CHESS LIFE sends its greetings to New Orleans. May the games be exciting, the Iun unlimited. and may everybody be happy!

FIVE HUNDRED MASTER GAMES OF CHESS. Edited by Or. S. Tarkta­kower and J. du Mont. New York: David McKay, 1954. liliS pp., hun-dreds of diags. $10. .

T HIS is the famous two·volume collection publlshed in England two or three ye<l rs ago <l ud now issued in this country in one enormous

book. Part I treats open games like the EV<lns and the Four Knights, fifteen openings and 237 games, not counting the maoy given in the notes; part II, semi·ope n games like the Fre nch, the SiCilian, the Centre Counter-113 games; p<lrt III closed games, ten queen side openings chiefly, in 14R games. In addition there are 26 games <lt odds, blind· fold, etc., plus the aforementioned full·game variations given in the annotations.

Experts like B. H . Wood have found some fault with the notes; but to club players like the reviewer the volume will be ,it treasure house of gl'eat games, openin g by opening, variation by variation, chronological· ly arranged so that one can see the development of strategy and tech· nique over the past century of master play. There is· no formal pre­sentation of theory, as in say Richter's books, with i111,lstrative games. There are r ather the games themselves with theory worked in at the s ide. Many of these ar e familiar to us fro m other anthologies, and some of the brilliancy priz.e·winners are missi ng, and some of the games from Pinkus' analysis of the Two Knights Defense are omitted-but one can SC<lreely complain of short measure. Recent head1i ~rs are perforce absent; among the,se are Bronstein, Bisguicr, Evans, Pomar, Smyslov, and Gligoric; indeed, it appears that the collection stops with the great games of the 1930s. But · what is hel'e will keep a man by the fire fo r many a long winter evening. Alld it is admirably ~uited 'for dipping into, the way one feels like Brahms and SQ listens to some;. feels like some

Sibelius, and plays that. One night a string of Alekhinc games attracts; the next, Rubinstein; another, Lasker or Marshall. This mammoth col­lection is surely a golden treasuIY of chess.

U. S. Junior Championship Tournament By International Master. IMRE KONIG

F ROM the first round to the close of the last, the tournament was stimulating and exciting.

' The last round pairings ,were the most interesting. It brought to· gether the 1953 U.S. J unior CheS's Champion, Saul Yarmak, and the Canadian J unior Chess Champion, ROss Siemms. It also brought to· gether the two candidates I consider the outstanding ones of the tour· nament, because of their ta lent and youth, LalTY Remlinger, 1953 win· ­ncr of the Dittman Trophy, of Long Beach, California, and Charles Kat me of Philadel phia, Pennsylvania, 12 and 14 years of age respec· tively.

At the end of the next to last round of play, the score was:

Ross Siemms 71 Saul Yarmak 1 Charles K.lme 1 Larry Remlinger , ~

Private Yarmak got orf to a bad start. He was unable to get to Long Beach until Wednesday, June 30th, so failed to score a point the first round. He los t to ShadIer of San Bernardino in the second round. From litis point on Yar m<l k played like a true champion. En­tering the last round with a 7 point score, Yarmak had' the Unit­ed Stales J unior Championship 'be­tween his sights and his fin ger on the t rigger.

Yllrmak started his final game with confidence, chosing hi,. fa· vorite openi ng, Fianchetto of Lhe King's Bi shop, onee the pride of the late Grandmaster Nimzovich. Yarmak staked his fortune on a fierce Kingsidc attack. Siemms, however, was unpertul'bed with its violence. His careful and sound de­fense proved more than adequate to withstand it. After a long strug· gle, the same swung definite ly to Siemms' s ide. For more than an hour the end was settled; it was only a question of whethel' Yar· mak would resign or hang on until mated.

The struggle between Kalme and Remlinger was no less intense.

Charles Kalme proved him.self a courageous fighter and a sports­man. ~arly in his game he learned thaL Yarmak was in difficulties.

Realizing that if Yarmllk drew and he defeated Remlinger, he had a

. tie for the U. S. Junior Champion· ship, Kalme scorned playing for a draw and second place. He slammed on an attaek th<lt, for a time, looked as though it would carry everything ·belore it. And it might have done so, had Kalme been playing a less, determined <lnd talented player. Remlinger, playing with skill and deicrmination, han· dIed Kalmc's assault in a master­ful style. During the third hour Kalme'~ attack wavered and came to a dead stop. Within a very brieI time. it beeame evident th at the favora ble balance hlld moved over to Remlinger. Remlingel' steadily incre'lsed his advantage, until Kltlme resigned.

La rry Remlinger's achievement is more ;;ignific;mt because he did 110t stout the to urnament welL His nt'st four games. were not above average. By winni ng his last five gmnes, par ticularly the skill he di ~played in handling thc end games, he eert<linly gives promise of becoming a great player.

Other p layers of note were the following: Ronald Gross of Compo ton, Ca1ifornia; Martin Harrow or New York; Thomas F ries of Fresno, California ; and Shelby Lyman of Dorchester, Massachusetts.

The tournament was very well run. I altribute its success to the indefatigable wOl'k of John P . Loo­ney <l nd the executive committee.

The King's Indian Defense

(Yugoslav Variation)

A WRINKLE in the K's Indian D'!(e nse, P·Q84 instead of the the­matic P·K4 fo r Black, leads to what has become kno~n 3S the

Yugoslav Variat ion, because !irst introduced and explored in tha t coun· try. It h as been championed by Gligorich, NajdorC, and BoJeslavsky. among others. The characteristic moves are : 1. P·Q4, N-KB3; 2. P·QB4, P-KN3; 3. P.KN3, B·N2; 4. B-N2, 0-0; 5. N-QB3, P·Q3; 6. N.Da, P·B4.

Diagram

Po_I , lon a,tar , . ....... " P· B4 This position resembles a delayed

Sicilian Defense. where White has fiancheUoed his KB and deferred P·K4. At present~ no way has been found for White to get more than a minimal advantage in any con· tinuation. He has three moves: (A ) 7. 1'xP; (B) 7. 0·0; (C) 7. P·Q5. A and n may transpose into each other , while C leads to a dis tinc­tive game where Black cannot dc­velop his Knight a t QB3.

Ano ther a lte rnative lor While from the diagram, is the waiting move 7. 1'-Kn3. This system was tried in the game Slahlbcrg-Gli· gorieh, Zurich, 1953. and has no particu lnr effect. The gam~ con· tinued : 7 . ......... N·B3; 8. 0 ·0 , 8-Q2; 9. PxP, PxP; 10. B·K3, Q.81 ; 11. K·R2, R·Q1 ; 12. Q·Bl , N·QS; 13. R· Ql , B-B3; 14.

(A) 7. PxP. Th is move permits Black 10 equalize eas ily: 7 ......... , PxP; 8. 0 -0 , N-B3. The game has now l'enched a l:iym metricai posi­tion, with White to move. But he is in lUglWiilng! Evans-'Faimanov Match USA-USSH, 1954, continued: 9. B·K3, Q-R4! and White has no good move on the whole board! Let's give th is 11 diagram:

White's best move here is prob­ably just to retreat 10. B·Q2. and lose a move. The game continued, however: 10. Q·R4 (ll 10. N-Q2, R­Ql and White is cramped), OxQ; 11. NxQ, P-N3; 12. N·NS (Not 12. N­K5??, NxN; 13. BxR, B-Q21 win­n ing two ,pieces for a Rook), B-Q2 (Forced. Not 12 ......... , B-N2; 13. BxP! and wi ns); 13. QR·Ol, OR·B1; 14. N-QB3 (Superficially White 's posi lion looks good, but actually he is cramped and his picccs must regroup with loss of lime), KR·Ql ; 15. P-KR3, P·KR3; 16. N·83, N-Kl1; 17. R-B1 , N·Q3; 18. P.N3, N·M; 19. B-Q2, N·NS; 20. P-K41 (The only move to equali1.e. If 20. p ·ns, N·B3; and Black has a tnrget "in While's weak Q·side Pnwns), 8 ·B3 (l[ 20. ........ , N·Q3; 21. N-Q5!, N·B3: 22. KR·Kl =); 21. PxN (U 21. N -Q5, BxN; 22. BPxB. N-Q3 gives Black a marked advantage, despi te the opposite colored Bishops aftcT 23. BxN, PxB), BxN; 22. BxB, RxB; 23. PaP, PaP; 24. N·Q5, equalizing with careful play. Ttiis game is a model illus tration of how White 's grip relaxes after he relieves the central tension by tin early ex· change of Pawns.

(D) 7. 0 -0 leads to very much the same thing, unless White deler­mines not to exchange in the cen­ter and release all his pressure. After 7 . ......... N·B3; 8. p·QS, N· QR41 ; 9. Q·03, P·OR3; there are two systems for White. neither of which gives him much. The first is from Evans·Rossolimo, Milwau­kee, 1953: 10. P·K4, N.Q2; 11 . R· N1 , P·QN41?; 12. PxP, PxP; 13. NxP, B·OR3; 14. P·QR4, P-B5; 15. 0-B2, BxN; 16. PaB, R-Nl ; 17. B-02, RxP; 18. 8xN, OxB; 19. OxP, RxP; 20. RxR, BxR; 21 . R-Nl , N·84; 22. Q-B2- Draw.

The second system, the attempt to maintain a strongpoint at QD4 fOI" White, is from Kolov·Bo[eslav­sky, Zurich , 1953: 10. N-Q2, R·N1 ; 11. poN3, P·QN4; 12. R-Nl , PxP; 13. NxP, NxN; 14. QxN, N·Kl ; 15. B· H2, N-Bl; 16. N·Ql , R-NS; 17. Q. 82, BlIB; 18. NxB (RxB is better). 8·841; 19. P·K4, 8-02; 20. N-Q3, R·QS and Black has a plus b«nuse he controls the dark squares.

(C) 7. p·QS. This is the sharpest move and leads to thematic play where Black strives fo r P·QN4 and White tries to prevent it. Alter 7. N·R3; 8. 0-0, N·B2; a standard position is reached.

Incidentally, it should be noted that after 7. P-Q5, P·K3 (Ins tead of N-R3) is inferior. e.g .• 8. 0 ·0 , PaP; 9. PxP, B·84; 10, N·02, Q·Q2; p. Q-N3, N-R3; 12. P·K4, B-R6; 13. Q. N5, BxB; 14. Kx8, with a minimal advantage, as in Gruenreld·Vuko­vic, Belgrade, 1952.

aJ)ess Cife Th."J." P ... 5 A .. ,/HI 1, 1914

On e o{ the original games with the variation, proceeded (rom dia­gram 3: 9. P-K4, B·N5; 10. P·KR3, BxN ; 11 . QxB, P-QR3; 12. Q-K2, N-Q2; 13. R·Ql , P·QN41; with equal play, (J<Olov-Gligorieh, Salts jos­baden, 1952.)

After 7, P·Q5, N·R3, White ean try to delay castling, as in Euwe­Szabo, Zurich, 1953: 8. N-02, N-B2; 9. 0 -B2, R-N1; 10. P·N3, P-K3; 11 . e ·N2, PxP; 12. PaP, P·QN4; 13. 0·0, R·KI, and Black has the initiative ..

The same attempt was made in the game ReshevskY'Gligorich, Zur­ich, 1953: 8. N-Q2, N-82; 9. 0 ·82, R-N) ; 10. P-N3, P-QN4 (ins tead of P-K3)j 11 . B·N2, · PxP (Black does better to maintain the tcnsion); 12. NaP, B·QR3; 13. N-K3, R·N5; 14. 0-0, with advantage s ince Black can nevcr force the thematic ........ , P-QB5.

F inally, lest we be accused o( incompleteness, White docs have one other mo\'e besides those men­tioned at. his seventh turn, e.g_; 7. P-QN3?, P-Q41; 8. PxQP, NxP; 9. B·N2,. NaN; 10. BxN, N-B3; 11. P·K3, B-NS with a splendid game for Black, as in Puc-Fuderer, Bel· .l!T8de. i952.

The system can also be played against an early P -K4, e.g. 1. P·Q4,. N-KB3; 2. P·QB4, P·KN3; 3. N-Q83, e·N2; 4. P·K4, 0-0; S. P·KN3, P.Q3; 6. 8-N2, P-B4; 7. KN·K2, N·e3; 8. P-QS, N·QR4; 9. P·N3, P·QR3; 10. B-Q2, B-Q2; 11. P·QR4, P·QN41? 12. RPxP, PxP; 13. NxP, BxN: 14. PxB, Q-N3; lS . N·B3, N·KlI; = Pomor ­Evans, Hollywood, 1954.

CONCLUSION : The Yugoslav Variation (6 ......... ,

P·B4) offers Black pro m i si n g chances. and thus (ar White has not demonstrated aoy method {or preventing him from obtaining strict cquality or better . Unless a more conv incing continuation is round [or White, bis entire opening system (up to now considered "na­tural") mus t be considered insuf­ficient . One ean e xpect to see de­cisive tournament tests to decide the fate of the Yugoslav Variation in the ncar future. Up to now, it is sound, safe, and reliable.
