T HE ·two pos itions above a l'e related in idea. No. 145 presents the winning idea in i ts stark eleme ntal form; in_No. 146, brilliant artistic touches arc added. The winning ioea is so simple that the solver is not likely to forget it; in fact, most readers who have not seen No. 145 before may bo able to solvl: it. No, 146, however, is not so easy; the trick is force a position similar to that in No. 145; I suggest that readers waste not too much time before looking at the solution.

Golombek s The Game of Chess (pengum Handbooks, paper, 254 pp., 228 diags. , 65C), a primer- whieh draws most of its examples from the pas t fifteen years and i ncludes a chapter with illustrative games on the great masters from Anderson to Botvinn ik. Golombek begins sen s ibly e nough with the simpler endings, discusses a few openings, puts three chapters on the middle game, and then re-turns Cor more complex features oC t he other divisions.

Another is the fourth volume- of Siegfried Engelhardt's jam-packed Schaeh·Tasch en ·Jahrbuch 1955 (Berlin·Frohn au, 380 pp., DM 5.40, about $1.25).

Theoretical Contributions of the Rosenwald Tournament, 1954-55

KP OPENINGS

I NDICATIVE of the drift of mod-ern chess, only three of the sixty glimes commenced with the venerable King's Pawn. Two were of 'particular theoretical signifi· cance .

FRENCH DEFENS E Sh(!l"Win·Evans: 1. P·~4, P·K3; 2.

6 ......... , P-QR4, or P·B3, or B-Q2 have hitherto been considered best. The ·tcxt capitalizes on White's hole on QN3. The game C{lntinued : 7. B·K2 (Al exander·O'Kelly, Hast· ings, 1953/ 4 : 7.' P·KN3, N.R4; 8. QN-Q2, B·Q2 j 9. B·N2, 0 ·0-0; 10. (),O, K·Nl; 11. R·K I, N·K2; 12. N-BI , N.N6:;: ), B.Q2; 8. 0-0, KN·K2; 9. QN-Q2. N·R4; 10. R·K l . P·KR3; 11 . R·Nl . and now N·Na followed by B-K2 & 0 ·0 ·0 would have given Black a good game, instead of 11.

......• P·KN4!?; T2. N·ST . N·N3; 13. B-K3±.

SICILIAN DEFENSE Evans·Resh evsky : 1. P·K4, P-QB4;

2. N·KBl, P·03; 3. P.Q4, PxP; 4. NxP, N·KB3 ; 5. N.QBl, P·KNl; 6. p.B4, N·S3; 7. N·Bl (weak-as this game proves. Correct is 7. NxN, Px N; 8. P·RS).

QP OPENINGS The vast majority of the games

were either ReUs or QP. It is to be noted that Black morc than held its own.

GRUEN FElD DEFENSE 1. P-Q4, N-K83; 2. P-OB4, P-KN3;

3. N-QB1, P.Q4; 4. N·el, B.N2; 5. Q-Nl, PxP; 6. QxBP, O.o; --;-..... "'"

Position aftar 6 .......... 0-0 '

It is most curious that the the· oretieally cruoial 7. P·K4 was not tried at all in this tournament.

Kramer·Byrne : 7. P·K3 (a solid move which avoids complications: quite good (or a player unacquaint· ed with the lates t twists), P·Nl; 8. B·K2, B·Rl; 9. Q.R4, BxB; 10. NxB, Q·Bl ; 11. P-QN4± .

Evans·Byrne : 7. P·KNl (Inferior -3S this game demonstrates), B· K3; 8. Q·Ql, P·84; 9. B·N2, N·B3; 10. PxP, N-Q21; 11 . 0 ·0 , Q·R4; 12. 0 ·Q2, Q x OP.L

4 . ......... P.Ql! (not 4 .......... PxP; ,. PxP , Q·R4 ch i 6. N·B3, N.K5; 7. Q-Q4!) ; 5. B·N2, P·K41= Black has transposcd into a favorable varia· tion of the K's Indian. On 6. PxP

e.p., however, he should play PXP! Bisguier-Byrne: 1. P-0 4, H·KBl;

2. P·Q84, P-KN3: 3. N·QS3, P.Q4; 4. N-Qs3, P·04; 4. N·Bl, B-N2; S. P-K3, 0-0; 6. Q-N3, P-K3; 7. 8-02, N·S 31;

Here the "book" continuation is ]>·N3, leading to equality. 8. PxP, PxP; 9. 8·K2, N·K2± .

So far this game is identical with Taimanov·Reshcvsky, Zurich, 1953. Here Talmanov continucd with 19. P-KN3, N·B3; 20. P ·QN4-draw.

Shcrwin continued with the in· ferior 18. K·RT. QN·84; 19. Q·K3, Q·N41;; 20. QxQ, NxQ; 21. R·Q2, K·Bl ; with a s tranglehold on the dark squares.
