BO,TVI-NNIK LEADS IN MATCH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH ROUND BY ROUND DESCRIPTION

By Fred R~jnfdd (CHESS L I FE presents the story of the World Championship

Tournament, as s ee n by the eyeS of tht ' noted a nnotator and author of chess studies, Fred Reinfeld, who will give his impressions in each i s­sue of CHESS LIFE during the course of the Tournament.)

After two rounds of the nrst;.}.Vorld Championship Tourna­ment ever held, Paul Keres \vas in flrs~ place with two straight wIns.

Prophesying the outcome of such an event is it ti~klish af­fair, but the standtng's cited above may well be the key to the final results : Keres and Butvinnik fighting it , uut fOr first place, with a sl igh t edge for t~e latter; Reshcvsky tJlird, fOr it is duubtful that his superb fighting qualitir:s can outweigh his lack of tJleoretical knowledge and practi ce; Smysl o v and Euwe shal-tng the cellar. Euwe is the oldest contestant (47), and he is too prone to tactical oversights to cia well in stich a tourna­ment . Smyslov is out of his depth in such exalted company.

If tIle first two games are acrly ROUN D ONE crlterion. the play will be graUfy- Smyslov 1, Reshevsky 1; Ruy jngly enterp:·ising. Against Smys- Lopez,41 moves. 10\-.

Fred Reinfeld

He had a cramp,!,d game for a while, but maneuver­ed with his ' customary pat­ience, whiCh was rewarded by Smyslov's weak 28th Kt­Q5. Thereafter R eslHll' sky took the Initia­tive, an d in one of his

usual time SCI'ambles came near wi:nning a Pawn. Careful Itnal ysls llIay show lhat he could have main­t a illed his material advantage.

Euwe was unlucky agalnst Keres. who adopted a venerahle and char· acteristlc cramped Lopez defens() favored by Steinitz. Euwe llandled t.he open ing and early mldd.Je game In good style. but he went astl'ay with his 28th Illove (tim e press­ure?). Thereafter Keres displayed h!s graad abilities as a tactlclan . Note that if W11ite had played 33. Qx}'::P?, he would have lost a piece by 33 ,Q-K7. With his 331'd move l(eres began sOllie l:.'ealltiful play, culminating in 37 . ,R·B4! (if 3S. Q-RS, R-B7 wi n s). At move 39, Keres could have won at on.ce with 39 ,Kt-fl6 ch! fOI' it 40. K-B2, RxR eh. is crushing. Howevel·. his continuation was of course good enough to will.

Round Two Keres started out with a very

Quiet variation which transposed into the Gruenfeld Defense. Despite the harml ess appearance of this line, Smyslov seemed badly rat­tled. Keres worked up a trelllend· ous attack, helped by the fact that Smyslov's Queen was out of play. After winning .t he exchange, Keres forced the win of a piece, eausing Smyslov's resignation.

Eu we start<.;d out with a good game agflinst Botvlnnik, but the latter's Pawn sacrifice on move, 17 se()med to upset Euwe consider· ably . Instead of retUI'ulng ,ihe of­fered Pawn at once (20 . , Kt-Q4) he should have tded 20.. , PxP; 21 . ... RxP, Kt-Q4 ; 22. QxQ, KtxQ. Even ill that event White would have ample llressure for :his Pawn, but the figllt cqUId doubtless have

been prolonged. As actually played, Black had no chance alter 22. PxP; \V'hite had all the opell Hiles, and Black was nevel' able to untang,le his pieces. \\t,lIite's 28th is killing, for if 28 . , PxP; 29. RxKP is de­deive. The finish is pretty. (See game scores on page 3.)

./ Gener,,1 Comment

The present stage of tIle tourna· ment Is a good o.lle fOl' all American to make some comments about :t.his contest: if iJ() r esel'ves t.hese ob­servations to the end of Ille tourna­ment,he will be rewarde d with a chorus of "Sour grapes!"

Th() or,\ginal dec!sion to include tlH'ee Russian players and only two Amel'!cans wa.s disadvantageous for us. It is not clear why- Smyslov was included, as he has not won Il," major event. to this writer's kJlowledge. H-owever, since h() was iu::: luded. a third American might well have been added.

In drawing up the tour:nament rules, It should have been borne in mind t hat whercas Russia)l masters are ·helped by the State, American players haVe to dep()nd on their o\vn private efforts, thus raising the possihility that either or both might find ;l:}tom,selves \lnable to compete. Thi s h as actually hap· pened ~n the case of Heuben Fine, who announced close to the last millute that "professional duties" made it impOsSible fo r ,hJlll to COIlI­pete. The tournament was thus rObbed of conSiderable ~]lor·tJng in_ {~test, as Fine has accomplisher) nothlng of importance since ,his great teat of tying K()res for first prize in the gl·eat Avro Tournament of 1988, ahead of Botv~nnik, Alek. hine, Euwe, Reshevsky, Capablanca Rud ,Flohr. It would therefore have heen interesting to see illOW Fine w,ould havo acquitted himself in this tourney.

chatte l' of questJous and answers (witho ut a.n t he unnccessa ry pu nctuation that makes 60 lIlany elforlll look so bOI' ing), the book really goes 1n to chess In what n p l>ears to be ' the best method these days: teaching basic t h eory, and co ncept, rather than " book lines" and une:r,lI lalued I·u le s an d axioms .

Biggest s u r llrlse of all and a defi nite s le ll in the 1·1ght d irection Is the c hess notation.

Formerl y, In Anderssen's liDle, the ability to make combinations was In fact the very essence of c h()8s talenL Since then, however, t he chess m ind has f u r ther developed, and the po wer of accurately calculating moves In advance has no greater Illace In c hess than, perhaps, skillful calculation h as In InatllemaUcs.

Squeeze Play

I T USUA LLY requ ires anywhel'e from 30 to 50 moves to achieve the paralyzing posltional hind so dear to the ,hea,·t of the modern player.

Rare indeed is a game Jike the follo wing one, in which a player is reo duced to Cornl)le te immobilit y in 20 moves ! Even more remarkable is the fac t tilat Black i.s not the victim of brilliant sacrificial l>liay. White's moves are quie t, but they speak volumes.

CHALLENGE COMES 'FROM FAR IRAN

Chess Illayel's of Chicago (and . tlte USA In genera l by inference)

a re boldly challenged to pick up t lte gauntl et ot defiance east by one daring All Satdas of Teheran, Iran.

111 a letter to Mr. J . Perl ot th s Gallant Knigh t Company o f ChI· cago, Mr. Satdas writes:

"[ should be much obliged also U you would Introduce me to a chess master of your c ity aud kind· ly let me k now wlletber or not this gentleman would like to have a chess game with me thl'ough cor· respondence, or also the master m ight a rrange a tournament among your city's team and the team ot Teheran."

Remembering that ancient Per· sla was one oC the cradles ot elless in its infancy, only the bold and s killed are advlsed ' to accept this gallant challenge. Mr. Ali Safdas way be addressed at 34 Shaibanl St., Pahlavl Ave., Teheran, Iran.

- - - --- --World Championship (Continued f rom Page 1, Col. 2 )

However, as the tourname'ut rules provided tlhat thel'e would be no I'eplacemenls of the Ol'jg inal en· t rants. tlle USA would have bee n left with only olle com petitor even jf Fione had annOUllced ills with· drawa.1 at an earlier date. This is s u rely a great pity, as we have a t -least three fi rst<lass. players who could haVe subs tituted worthi ly for Fine.

In any event, we can only wou· del' when we read lha t the Russian competitors were accom panied by a delegation o[ 21. including at least one fi rst·ra te master (Ragoziu). Presumably these .travellers a l'e not making the t rip fo r tbe purpose of broadening their m indS. O"!le will doubtless be dclegated to analyze middle gallles, ano ther endings, a third to adv.ise 011 the Ruy Lollez, a foul·th on the King's Gamtit, elC.

T he Book of Samnel teUs us that David slew G<>Uath with a stone from a s ling. Whether the lilOdenl Samuel can prevail against the three Soviet masters plus :their 21 assistants, Is more thall doubtfUl!

THIRD ROUND In the third round the play con·

tin ued to be sprigh tly- and why not?--either you land first place in this tournament, 01' it doesn ' t malle r whnt you do. or course, once the ha ir· way mbl'k is reached. the players will be divided Into 'two camps: those who bave a chance for fi rs t prize and those who haven't. It is reasona ble to forecast that the players in the aecond group ar8 naturally li kely to relax thei,· effor ts.

Resheysky started with a s trange open ing, taking two moves to get his Queen's Pawn to Q4-doubt· less to get away from the books. T he loss of time did not seem to do him any harm, and he obt!l.ined u. good development. At an early stage he began a Quoen·s'ide at­tack which left some weaknesses in Black'ii camp, hut Keres seemed to have everytlJing well defended. Beginning with bis injudicious 22. ......... P ·B4 he loosened up his posl· tion too much; and, playing beauti­rul chess, Reshevsky began to in­filtrate. By dint of clever maneu· vering lie won a Pawn, after which a decisive invasioB in on e tonn or another cou ld not be prevent ed by Keres. The later waited tor tbe sealed move, and later I'elilgned without sealing.

·Agalnst S myslov, Botvinn ik chose a form ot the Gruenfeid Detense of which lie Is very fond , although It .glves Black a badly cram ped game. Playing the variation for a ll it Is worth, Botvinn ik skilCully kept t he ball roillllg, always find· ing lOme counterattack in spite ot his c ramped posi tion. Ultimately, Smyslov won a Pa wn. but, as s o otten ha ppens In such positions, Botvinnlk's pieces had s prung In to action: the extra Pawn could not be held, and a dra w was soon agreed. A W8U contested game.
