At 23, AnatolyKarpovwas rated the best playerin the Soviet Union last year, and is favored to defeatViktor Korchnoi for the right to playBobbyFis cher innext year's world title match. H I most definitely lookforward to playing Fischer, though it wouldbe a verydifficult match," Karpovsays. But "Fischeris invul-nerable at this trme ," he adds, and pins what real hopehe has for the world title on a possible rematch sev-eral years down the road. Karpov's chances shouldnot be dismissed too easily even now. Only Fischerof all the world's players has a higher rating, and theyoung Soviet's many successes in the last few yearsshowhim tobea determined anddangerous foe. May-be the "Chess Match of the Century" will turn out tobe the next one instead of the last one.

16 Ne1! The correct plan. White aims for f3,bringing the bishop into play at f2. Hethenwill play c5 toput his white bishopat c4. Also, he maneuvers his knightsto occupy the weakened white squares inblack's position. The king knight willgo from e1 to c2 to e3. White does notfear black occupying the queen file, forafter black exchanges rooks white willsimply retake with his queen knight andthen bring it to e3.

Nb6 Ithink Nc5-e6 is the correct idea. Onb6 the knight has no squares and onlyfacilitates white's playing c5. Blackconsistently develops his pieces, but toineffective squares. One point of NbB.however, is that 17 f3 fails: ... N:c4,18 B:c4, Qc5+.

KID POWER! pieces ina Giuoco Piano. Black's irregular 4... Q-B3takes the game outof its usual pattern and throws bothplayers on their own resources. White's failure toget his king to safety at H2 gives Black a dangerouskingside attack. But White fights it off and mounts aqueenside pawn storm. Black has the awkward choiceat move 26 ofBxN, losing the exchange, or retreatinghis king with the strong White attack unchecked. Thesmashing 34 P-B4! settles the issue at once. Black'sking is under heavy fire inthe center, he is downtheexchangeandapawn, and he faces more material lossor worse with little chance of counterplay.

Chess can be enjoyed at any age, put of coursethe future of the game lies with the young. Andyoungpeople are takingUpchess indroves. Amongthem arethe innovators, theorists and superstars of tomorrow.While we can't foresee whothe World Championwillbe 15 or 20 years from now,wedo knowthat he is al-ready playing chess, and showing a real skill for it,too. Perhaps itwill be oneof our bright youngHoosierplayers who captures thetitle .. Does that sound far-fetched? Then take a careful look at the games below.

Weasked the three youngest players in the Indi-ana State Championship (April 20-21) to showus theirbest games from that event. The three boys were allthen in grade school (onehas gone on to junior high),playing against adults. We think you'll agree that theplay in each case is skillful and surprisingly mature.Andit doesn't take much imagination to see how strongthese kids might be at, say, the advanced age of 15!

Lesson for us old folks: follow the old rule andplay the board, not the opponent. The cherub acrossthe board may be a buzzsaw in disguise. Andwatchout, kids can set traps too -- see game 3.

Our first game pits the youngest player in thetournament, ten-year-old Scott Richardson [1211]ofShelbyville, against a Junior High teacher. Scott hasbeen playing chess two years and shows great naturaltalent. Once, playing an opening he had never seen,Scott foundhis way to a grandmaster position twelvemoves deep!

When we asked Keith Sweda of Indianapolis forhis best game, he picked one he had lost --how's thatfor maturity? He also showed us a game he won, andwe chose to publish that one since the quality of playis comparable. Atournament veteranat age 11, Keith[1438] is right behind his older brother Ken [1445]inratings. Ken plays for his high school team, but we'llbet the competition at home is hotter. Keith's scoreof 3 points won him the trophy for top C player in theChampionship Section of the tournament.

In the game below, Keith defeats John Campbellin a Queen's Gambit Declined that transposes into theclean lines of a Cambridge Springs. White's 6 PxP?gives Black easy equality bysolving his mainproblem ,developing the queen bishop. Misreading the defense,White drops a bishop at move 16. There's a big dif-ference between being ahead in material and getting awin! But Black is up to the task, electing to simplifyby trading his knights for a rook and a pawn at move20, and trading a rook for a bishop and a passed pawnat move 35, killing White's last threat. White's over-worked king cannot cope with threats onboth sides ofthe board, and he is forced to surrender.

Experience is usually decisive in chess. Veryoften a veteran player can run over a young opponentbyengineering a swindle or at least looking deeper intothe position. Or so we like to think. This next game,perhaps the most exciting of the three, might changeyour mind about all that. Here it is an eleven-year-

old boywho sets the trap --five moves deep-- and theveteran who falls into it. More surprising yet, ChrisWheeler [1224] ofShelbyville unflinchingly left a fullrook andpawn hangingasbait for the trap, even thoughplaying Black against the top-ranked [1599]player inthe section. Younever saw anyone so pleased to dropa rook!

In his first year of competitive chess, Chris has.won three beginners I tournaments (each time with aperfect score), finished third in another, and also ranup aperfect 5-0 in a high school team match. Overallhe has won 36 games in 46 starts.

The influx ofyoungplayers into competitivechess is strikingly demonstrated by the declin-ing average ratings of USCFmembers. With agreat number ofyoung people starting chess atthe bottom, the average rating obviously has tocome down, and that is just what has been hap-pening for years. John Campbell supplies thesefigures: in 1963. the average USCFrating rangedfrom 1758-1775. By 1968 the average had de-clined sharply to 1548. It rose slightly to 1563in 1970, but by 1972 had again fallen sharply to1493. In 1973the average rating'.aank to 1362.

As of last year, the USCF had 87.000 ratedplayers. 56%were under 1400, 23%were ClassC, 13%Class B, 5%Class A, and 3%Expert-up.

John Campbell concludes from these figuresthat tournament organizers oughtto adjust theirprize funds to match the competition. and we'reinclined to agree.

White may have been counting onhis opponent'sinexperience in selecting aVienna Game. But Black'ssharp 3... NxP! startled White into4 BxP+?, bluntingthe attack (correct is Q-R5). Black missed the pow-erful 5... P-Q4, but the text move, threatening N-Q5,proved bothersome toWhite. Gainingtempos at moves11, 12 and13, Black builds a strong center against theuncastled enemy king, but misses 15 ... N-B4, whichgives White more problems. Studying the board after22 N-K5+, Black sees a murderous combination -- ifWhitewillcooperate. Whiteis onlytoo happy to oblige,and when he does the roof caves in.

20 . ',-1U oFROMTHE EDITOR--I\.

Itwas the last round of the Indiana State Cham-pionship, and I needed a win. Myyoung opponentwasgiving me a heck of a . fight, but I managed to build upan advantage and turned downa draw. At this intensemoment, somebody, I'm not really sure who, came byand askedif I would like tobe Editor of the Quarterly."OK," said I -- I think -- and let my attack dissipatewith an exchange of pieces. After a while, somebodyelse came around to tell me the officers of ISCAhadelectedme Editor. That was fast, I thought to myself,and dropped a knight. While I struggled for a draw,someone else showed up to briefme on my new dutiesand my last defenses crumbled.

Andthat's all the longer it took to learn what it!slike tobe Editor of the Quarterly. But I'm glad I tookthe job anyway. I look forward to the opportunities itoffers for all of us to get better acquainted.

The Quarterly is, after all, your magazine -- Ijust put it together. If you don't care for this or thatin these pages, send me something better. I welcomeand needyour contributions inall areas: articles, fea-tures' photos, ideas, chess problems, games, humor,and most important, tournament information. If youare organizing a tournament, be sure tosend along theparticulars as early as possible. And be sure to sendme the scores promptly, too. I also need the currentaddress, dues and meeting times of all Indiana chessclubs, and the addresses and subscription rates formidwest chess publications. Whensubmitting games,please try to select those of special interest to Indianaplayers, and include photos if you can. And since I'm

a relative newcomer to competition and a crummy Cplayer, you'd better doyour ownannotation.

Our very special thanks to outgoing Editor CleoMooday, whoknows best howwell he'S earned them.
