PAUL KERES U.S.S.R.

L ATVIAN.BORN Paul Keres-believe it or not-is an un-known quantity so far as I am concerned. Ever since he tied for first with Fine at the great Avro tournament in 1938, his fOltunes have risen and hllen like fluctua-tions on the stock exchange . He won the P:U'n:m tournament in 1947 lind was lhe All-Russian Champion when I saw him in ae-tion-.-...('ooi as a cucumber-at Hel-s;nld. But h:" gume to~;,' lacks

the sparkle which was the car· mark of lhe early Keres. Like all attacl:ing players, he has come to realize that something more th:m th is is necessOIry when he meels players in his own class. So Keres has turned into a pOSitional player whom I canllot help thinking of as but a smoldering Morphy.

At Helsinki and the latest Sov-iet championship he showed noth-ing. l feel his confidence has been shaltered_ Perhaps he is unhappy. Bu t who knows?

CONCLUS ION: Outside chance. Keres rightfully belongs among the tournament leaders and is very capable of winning the tour-nament if only he can' pull him-self out of the doldrums. If not, he will end up around {ilth or thereabouts because the younger Soviet gencl'alion will squeeze in ahead o( hi m. (Of all the potential winners, I fccl Keres has the worst challce against Botvinnik in a match.)

It was at bO;lrd eight that the earliest conclusion occurre d. Dr. Mcngilrini, affable and precise, played bl'illiantly rl'(,I m start to finish. llis Olllllll1cnt Sidney Bern· stein. a velcl':l lI masler of higb

s kill a nd imag inat iye play, was considerably ilI.diagnosed and played the opening raggedly. This, however. is not to detract from Dr. Mengarini 's line play which made up for his deCeat last year at Bcrnstei n's hands. Sidney lost a pawn as early as his 7th move in an unusual yariation of the French Defense (Schweitzer yar. 4. B·Q3) which be initiated on his fourth move. Wben Ariel countered with 4 . ....... p.QB4, the book reply. Bernstei n pondered for 25 minutes to seek the retort be should have known (by heart, if he had been his usual self). At any rate .. des· pite much wriggling. Bernstein's opening was too much a burden for him to OVercome. He should have played 6. KtxP for a draw but instead tried an unsound Bishop chcek and paid up with a pawn. From tba-t point on, Mell· ga rini was devastating. His eHorts r anked with the very strongest of the evening. InCidentally, tbls was onr. of Bernstein's rare losses in M.et League pla y. lIe has hardly eyer been beaten. Dr. Mengarin i. conqueror of Resbevsky in the U.S Cham,p:onship two yea rs back. is the founder of "30 moves in 30 minutes chess." It is the hope of this ~porter to organize soon (to masters ' tournament in tbe Met.-ropolitan area at that pace.

Thus at 12:30 a.m. the match was over, a 3·3 tie with two ad-journed games to be played off. (Final match score Manhattan 4Y.a, Ma rshall 3'h).

THE ELEMENTS OF CHESS By International Master HERMAN STEINER

Hypothetical Game Illustrating Princ iples,

(Continued from It is now Black's turn to move.

"What does my opponent threaten? His last move nullified the threat of my First Objective, therefore I must make a move which will help to . complete my dc.vclopment. The only minor Force not developed yet is my Queen·Bishop. so 1 must complete my development. but I must remember to do it with safety." The move needs to be onc that develops and controls the greatest number of squares of opponent's territory. The move, therefore, can -be no other than: S .•• I P·Q3.

A/In Blad/, pl""J: .., . ..... ...• p.QJ Developing move Controls greotest number of oppon·

ent's squ.res

Now we come to a more com· plicated stage of the game. Our minor pieces are developed on the best possible squares, contrOlling the greatest number of squares of Ollr opponent's territory, and only the Queen-Bishop does not control the greatest number of opponent's squares.

Therefore, our problem is; Where shall we place this Bishop? If you have C(lunled the squares which the White Forces control, you know White controls nothing with the Queen, nothing with the Rooks, five squares with the King.Bishop, two with the Queen-Bishop, two with the King-Knight, two with the Quccn-Knight, and two with the King-Pawn- a total of thirtecn squares·

The position is symmetrical, therefore Black must control the same number of While's terri tory. Everything else being equal, the game is even. Of course, we can· not call the game a draw, for we did not achieve any of our Object· ives, although both sides have threatcned and nullified them.

In an earlier instalment it was pointed out that if you control up to five squares of your op-ponent's territory than he of yours, everything else being equal, it is an even game. I haVe also told you that to have the advant-age you must control six to ten squares more than your opponent controls of yours, everything else

Rules, and Objectives issue of May 5) being equal (Force, Time. and no weaknesses). So the player must s trive to control more Space, at the same time not overlooking the Objectives.

To achieve Fourth Objective (to exchange even or better, and win with superior Force or superior position), the players el«:hange even or better. This Objective re-mains throughout the game. The characteristic o{ the Fourth Ob-jective is that whenever you have achieved the Third Objective (creating a weakness in opponent's game and taking advantage of it), Ihfs J"ourtll ObJective becomes the most important one. It simplifies the complction of the game so that you may win with superior Force by eliminating your oppon-ent's Forces which might counter-a ttack.

So we must decide which is pre-ferable; better or even. It is ob-vious that the Black King.Bishop is better placed th an our Queen-Bishop; although the values are the same (3 13 points) . But in Space the Dlack Bishop controls five squarcs of White's territory while the Queen-Bishop controls only two of Black's. So it is ad-vantageous for White to exchange Bishops. This, of course, is suf-ficient reason for our move.

We must, however, make certain that we have more than one reason for a certain move, so we ask again: "Docs it develop? Does it control the maximum squares of opponent's territory? Is it a move planned with any of the Objectives in mind?" When you consider these reasons, you cannot possibly

choose any but the r ight move-which is none other than 6. B·K3.

The move is justified as follows; 1 ) It develops; 2) It controls the greatest number of squares of opponent's territory (QB5, KKt5, KR6)-a total of three-and at the same time reduces the power of Black's Bishop by one square (KB2); and 3) It threatens his First Objective (P-Q4) . The stu-dent ean readily see that no other move with this Bishop can be as forceful.

THE ManhaUan Chess Club's an· nual party was held recently and on this festive occasion there were more th:an just one or two important events to celebrate. Be-sides honoring the new champion of the club, Max Pavey, and the winners of the "B" a nd "c" titles M. Schroeder and Dr. E. Folde~ respectively, the club olfjcers took time out to wish their leading member, Sammy Reshevsky, good luck on the eve of his departure for Argentina and th e forthcoming match with Miguel Najdorl; Alex-ander Bisoo, Reshevsky's managel' in addition to being the Manhattan club's president, spoke enthusiasti-cally of the American grandmast-er's future plans and disclosed that the match with Russia to be con-tested here in New York is defin-itely set l or the third week in July. (Readers of CHESS LIFE will want to hear more about thatl). Not to be overlooked in the club's celebra-tion were words of praise Cor the Manhattan C. C:s Met League chDmpion team Dnd its captain, Leonard Meyer; all annual parties in recent years have involved such D tribute and this part of the eve· ning is getting to be an annual fixture, as the Manhattan team con· tinues to win year after year!

Speechmaking and the consump-tion of refreshments are not suf-ficient to make an evening at a ehess club complete, so a rapid tourney was initiated with many of the club's top player competing for the $25 prize offered to the winner of the knockout event. With such masters as Pavey, Seid-mDn, Sussman, Turner, Moscowitz, Bernstein, and Levy among those eliminated before the final round, the event concluded with a draw between the two finaliSts, George Shainswit and Jimmy Shenvin, who divided the prize ra ther than play another decisive game; after going through such a strong schedule one cannot critcize them for agree-ing to the amicable result!

IN BRIEF: Manhattan C. C. hab-itues are quite sorry to hear that thc popular Turkish expert, Mubin Boysan, is returning to his native land with little prospect of ever reentering the United States. His many friends wish him well in his fu utre endeavors. . The com-pletion of his two years' service in the armed forces has left Arthur Bisguier free to eompete agDin in metropolitan and national champ-ionships, besides partiCipating in the forthcomi ng USA-USSR match in N. Y. ... A 6-3 upset victory by the Intercollegiate team over the Marshall Junior aggregation en-abled the Marshall Scniors to climb past their "youngsters" in the final Met League standings which saw the l\fanhattan team winning with a 5'h-lh match score, Marshall Seniors H~-llh and the Juniors 4-2 ...
