Vol. 1lI Number 16 Wedne6l'lay. April 20, 1949 -, -A VOICE FROM THE EAST

Out of the crad le of Chess-l ndla--c:omes tho protest o f an eminent Hllldu choss columnist, T. A. Krlshunmncllariar ot Modtas. agains t

the sordid Yiolation of the FIDE rulea concerning consultation and analysis of adJonrned games. We quote some brief excsrpts from his messags (the Interellted reader may flnll the whole text reprinted In the April Issue of our eminent British contomPOrary "Chess"):-

The ono Rule that is observed mostly In breach Is the very first one ot the "Chess Code" laid down by tho Federation Inter­naUonal& Dee Echecs-"Chess. a gallle In lbe play of which thsr& ls no slemont of chance, Is played by two persons on a square called the Chess Board: etc. •.. " Unfortunately, a chess game tn most sorlOUS-COlltests does not finis h at a sitting; and In the Interval. extending for a few days (there have been weeks' Interval also In some ot this olty matches ) most of ths p layers convenlontly forget that a. chess game Is a COil test between two

~~~r;! ~~~ ~v~~~~~~;~~~IC~ ~~~~e ;~~~;;; ~~ t~:~:~~~ In Ol)Ollly In the tournamollt hall ItIOH. It Is plain that some playors WllO are engaged In this pMtime aro lusenslble even to " ecnso of wrong' ..

Out, It may be uked. how to enfOI'Ce ths rule that a chets game hi a co·nto8t between two players only? Let ms begin by 8uylng- not by breaking It. Again. lb.ls Is one of those cues which Is b08t cured by a finn public op'lnion. Detected cases of brcao!1 mus t lis severly dealt with. Organized CbS8S lUe can ban the participation of a party In dofault In any tournament for Il

yCar or two. Til other walk8 of · lUe the fact tbat undetsctod cr1mea go unpunished has not been urged as a justllication to deal mildly with those t hat come to light. Why che llS alone s hould be an ex~optlon puses my undeNllandlng!

So speaks India of a fault that II. alas, also too common In the halle of American choss tounlament&! We In America at least recog· nllO It III a fault; Rnd our more capable tourllament dlrectol"l bend their efforts to discouraging Buch violations of the ru lea. Tn rn08t weil· conducted national tournamellts analYlls 18 strictly banned In ths playing room. But only God and his conscience knows what the player of an adjourned gRme does III his botel room wbeo he foregathers thore wllh his chess cronies.

With T. A. KrlshnRmcharlar we ClUJ only commelld to lhe chesg public a conllde l'a tioll of this chess c rime In Ole hope that I/uhllc opinion wlll eventually moke effective obedience 'to those laws of chess thllt can only be completely enforced by the conscience and honor of ench playor engaged In tournament play.

Young pillysra predomlnats. each appar­ently aware that their club baa produced Bisgulsr, Shainswlt, EJII!. Platz and others!

The Now York Academy of Chess. III spite ot the grandness ot Its namo. Is hardly a club at all.

He plays a poor o pening whose potenti­alities he does not foresee ; he tails to plan creatively tor the future. Comes the tenth move. and he s uddenly realizes that be has a w serable game!
