    Dear !'o1l'. Major :

    SIGMOND MAKES NEW BEST MOVE

    With this issue Irwin Sigmond replaces Russell Chauvenet as the custodian of "Best Moves," the front page feature chess puzzle of CHESS LIFE. Mr. Chauvenet, worn down by the ar dors of his labor. will recuperate by sail ing "Pelican"

    boats on the Potomac while Mr. Sigmond assumes his re-sponsibilities.

    The new conductor of "What's the Best M 0 v e" has been a chess player for 30 of his 39 years, but has

    Irwin Sigmo"d never been a persistant com-

    petitor in tournament events, play-ing only sporadically in such meet-ings. He has been a member, at various times of the Merchantile Library Chess Ass'n of Philadel-phia, the Dovmtown Y Chess Club of Pittsburgh, the Seattle Chess Club, the Franklin Chess Club of Philadelphia, and the Woodbury Chess Club in N. J. He was the South Jersey Open Champion in 1953, 1954, and 1955j but has been more active as a correspondence chess player.

    Possessing a chess library of over 100 volumes, Mr. Sigmond begins his career as a poser of chess riddles with an exceptionally good background of material and prom-ises to maintain the feature at the high level attained by his pre-decessor , Russell Chauvenet.
