Vol. V, Number 19 Tuesday, Jun_e 5, 1951 --CIVIL WAR?

R EADERS may become slightly bewildered in sccing two announce· ments of the Southern Chess Association Championship in this

issue oC CHESS LIFE. The tournament in Tampa is announced by SCA Secretary·Treasurer Major J. B. Holt who slates he has the concurrence of SCA Vice·President Grady Cotler and S. A. Agnello. The tournament at Asheville is announced by SCA President Marlin Soutllern. CHESS LIFE does not presume to determine which announcement is to be ac­cepted as the official will of the Southern Chess Association, [or it is the authority and privilege of the me mbers oC that Association to deter· mine these facts ac".'ording to whatever regulation govern such tourna· ments in their ofmcat By·Laws. Therefore we publish imparlially both announcements and teave deci~jon to the seA membership.

WHEN THE SHOE PINCHES THE CHILD CRIES

C HESS LIFE, in common with most respectable publications, ignores unsigned letters, for the usually vituperative coward who has not

ille courage (0 stond behind his views is ge nerlllly deemcd too insig· nificant to merit attention. But a recent. rather pitifu l unsigned caI'd from one obviously juvenile reader (menta lly, at least) is so character· istic of all such anonymous tirades tha t th~ reader may be amused in considering it for a moment:

mllt~hHEc~s..c~l:n~n~ /!{,~:~ c:nt.a;~~s n~ I~Ve.nr~O~r~f l~~e;:~!! c~~~:io;:"~".:r. gomery Maior's semi·monthly Red·811 iting edi t .. rl .. 1 parllv "n. of a ll Ihin!p, So., ie t neglect at some An.e ,lean chess IIctivitie'l! Ma j .. r's ranting is remin· iscent at Hitle r .a nd his tribe wh .. ll iso glo r ied in be ing called "war· monger." CHESS LIFE ... ould be ~tt .. r without t hllt UP--

A Stud""t Nam .. om itted ~aun thl! ups a re il\ c .. nlro l no .... This curious epistle illustrates in· its brevity almost all of the

faults characteristic of Soviet apologists; and for that reason is a gem, if a rather crude and unpolished gem. Hettcr educated apologists do it much more suovely and C(l llvincinsly; they would not, for ex· a mple, be redundant in the use of "sap" as an epithe t when Roget lists .more than one hundred synonyms. Bul they would convey the saml!' message, phrased in more plausible language. .

Point one of this quaint communication is, o f course, the usual Cancy bit of logic (Soviet style). "AU players" ar.:! inleresloo iu the alleged world championsh ip match because the ..... Titcr of this name­less note believes that they should be. As a matter of fact, the Editor is a chess player (sorpr ising as this may be). and he is not in the least iuterested in the oulcome of the cozy litUe Soviet title match. He considers it quite immateria l who wins it, although CHESS LIFE did print the f ina l rcsults a lld will publish several of the games. A number of other chess players hllve also expressed tlleir complete in' difference on the matter of the tiUe match.

Point two is a strikh1g example of the evasive twisting oC facts so beloved by Soviet apologists (and basically I'ecommended in Soviet texts on polemics). In our editorial we ' were concerned principally with the crude distortions published in chess magazines in the Soviet satellitc countr ies-distortions that pretcnded to be news and served mere ly as a basis for ridiculous sermons on the alleged superiority o( the Soviet way of chess. That these same publications neglected othcr American chess activities was a sta1ement added as an afterthought and was mentioned merely to indica te the careful selection by these magazines of only those isolated incidents that served as possible texts for political philosophizing. Our young and not too clever critic in h.is postcard obviously cannot fin d an answer to our remarks concerning these Soviet distort,ions and outright lics (whereas a better educated apologist would find several glib retorts), and so he clings desperately to the very tag-end of our remarks, which were such a minor part of our general criticism, hoping that no one will observe his crude strategy.

Point three, of course, needs reference to t he Soviet version of the dictionary. A "warmonger" (Soviet definition) is :myone who op­poses in 'lny way the ' aims of the Soviet Union. On the other haud, a ll Soviet actions (whether Malik raging in the Security Council or the Secret Police liquidating II few thousand more dissenters) is a lways to be described as peacefol and the Soviet Union as peace· loving Therefore, when North Korean troops swept aCI'Qss the 38th parallel, this was only peacefu l uniCiCDtiOI1 of Kon:u inlo a Peoples Popular

. Democracy; the Southern Koreans were the warmongen; for resisting such unfieiation. In th is sense of the word, the Editor remuins proud of being considered a warmonger ill aU Soviet satelli te countries.

But, primarily, the most. interesting chara~teristie of all such piti­ful anonymous commun ications from Soviet apologists is the !act that their writers never exh ibit any indication of Intelligent thinking. The technique invariably is the parroting oC certain set phrases, coupled with abusive epithets in the hope that the sound and fury will disgoise the lack of thought. Does th is common attribute of all such anonymous tirades denote that the writers share the same type of mentali ty (or lack of it)? Or does it indicate the failu re of OUr educational system in not teaching modern youth how to think?

The tragedy ties not in the fact that some Ame~ icans have been misdirected into accepting the Soviet philosophy {or living, but in the fact that so many Americans have been misdfrected by the Jack of proper education. They be lieve the preposterous because they have never been taught how · to distinguish between the false and the true syllogism, and so they become ready prey to the attractive glitter of pseudo-ideas that would not stand the test of, logical analysis.

Our callow critic, quoted in these lines," deserves more pity than censure, Cor he has not even becn taught how to present an argu· ment in an intelligent manner. Those who failed to Lrain him in how to think clearly and logically are the veritable culprits!

T HE HeM has been developing its pallern for more than half a cen· tury. Each issue contains a generous selection of interesting games,

recent, oul..of.the-way , important; several pages of chcss news from aIL over the world, a featu l'e article on some recent tournament or chess event, rcviews, endings, and problems. Analytical articles, postal chess news and games, features like R. ~. Coles' " One Hundred Years Ago," and othe r odds and e nds :are also characteris tic elements of the long. est·livcd of chess j ournals in English. The bare totab in the bound volume bdore me are impressive. In these four h undred twelve paKes the reader gets 261 games, 283 problems (most of them "small wares"), 93 end ings, 31 reviews, 4 long analyses of openings in major tourna· ments_ Players anxious to keep up with foreign chess will find not only full repor ts on international affairs but 17 national championsbips brief· ly reported and with a game or more. P roblcmists liavc always liked BCM because of thc pages devoted to thcir art undcr the direction of the great T. R. Dawson. Harry Golombek, [onncr British champion, is games editor and responsible Cor most of the <filnolation. A seholarly tone derives from the special articles by H. J. R. Murray, premier chess historian, on the spread of the game in western Europe, by H. Huxley on chess at Tunbridge Wells in the seventeenth century, by A_ Chico on the rediscovered Traetatus Seachoron MS at Modcna. One amusing feature , in the April issue is the collection oC eight ga melets from recent Russian play "in which the sins, though hardly original, arc none the Icss ins tructive." In the March issue is Gerald Abrahams' " lJ Seraglio at Moscow," a wit ty eyewitness account of the Women's World Championship_ English events are of course fu lly reported. The sample here is Game No. 10,628, (rom the 1950 British Champion' ship, in which GoJombek shows seventeen·year-oJd Jonathan Penrose that youth does not a lways have its way.

From fk Ed.itor's Mail Bag

Dear Mr. Major: I quite agrce wi th Mr. 11. Sillcr

that ex-commu ni'Sts are more dan· gc rous lhan c:ommunists, iJut ill my opinion the simpletons and tight·heatled people arc the most dangerous e lement. Thesc men live in the fa ir world crcaterr by their im:Jgination and from their cozy ch:Jirs in London ' und New York contemplate the to talitarian policy of the Soviet state.

As it is cleurly seen , [rom his letter Mr. Siller docs not even un­derstand thc difference between Soviet anel Russian . Being an Uk· 1'al1irm, I have no l·C:Json to love the old Russian or contempor ary Sov· iet empil'c. I rcspect and appreci· ate, however, the Russian cuUure and Russian chess players but I de· sp ise all t:1at is built on cheap propoganda tricks. It is impossible with the Soviets to know when the truth f'ncl.~ :\Od Ihe propoeanda ~­

gins. I have never wrillen that the re­

sult of the World Championship was "fixed" or a plot has been planned. I have 110t dcnied in my lc tters that "there is of course some playing supremacy of Soviet masters helpin.!; to secure for them high places." Bllt I have behind me the e xperience of 25 years of life in the Soviet Union and I have well justified doubts (my letter in "CHESS," July· September, 1949) that the fair jl lay would be allowed if the international preRtige of Stalin clique would be a t stake.

In the Wodd Championship Bot.· vinnik after 15th t'Ound had a scorc 9·5 from Soviet masters and 4 from COl·e igners, ond his nearest rlvlli Keres 6 1f.t. Although Keres lost all three games to Botvinnik, the style of his vic tories over Smy· slov (2 Ih· lh) and Euwe (same seore) per milted hope that he would be ablc to compete. But in the 4th Moscow tourn . he was able' to win ~nly from Euwe who played

in this tournament with a despera· lion of a doomed gladiator. Keres' play with Smyslov in the 17th nJuull ~lonishes with the absence of any ideas; such blunders as in the g'ame with Bolvinnik in the 20th l'Qund T have never seen in Keres before. So Keres lost to Botvinnik 4 out of 5 games and only in the last game he was grant· ed a gain when the fi rst prize for Botvinnik was sale.

In my judgment about the qual· ity of the gumcs J rely upon my own analys is however authorita· tive other commentators would be_ And in my opininn the quality of ga mes between Soviet mas ters and Botvinnik in lh is tourna ment is lower than it would be wi th no pressure from the outside.

In conclusion I have to decla re that I have never been Ii member oC Commun ist o t' Nazi parties and ncver sympathised with either pol· icy or ideology_

Position · No. 69 in the mainline of play resorts to an unexpected stalemate to aehicve the end, while Position No. 70 requires rather delicate maneuvering.

{;arfrt CorreJponJence CkeJJ!)n USJJ. By DR. BRUNO BASSI

Upsala, Sw.d. n

T HERE is · no chupter in the History of Chess so insufficiently in· vestigated as that concerning the Game by correspondence. This

sad statement applies also to American Chess History, and I hope it will therefore be of some interest to record here the first known in· stance of Correspondence Games in the States.

In 1835, the New York Chess Club, which had then found a comfort· able assembling place in Ann Street, arranged a game by correspondence with tlle playcl·s uf the" Federal City. The Metropolis of the East Coast was represented by Saroni and the lawyer Adam L. Logan, whereas the game in Washington was conducted by a committee including among others ,John L. O'Sullivan, who was for many years ·Editor of the Demo· cratic Review and laler for some time Ministcr Resident at the Court of lhe King of Portugal. Unfortunately, the score of the contest has not heen preserved, as far as I know: perhaps some· readers will try to unearth it? The game 'wus interrupted und, according to a late trudition (Fiske, 1859), Was ufterwards finished by O'Sullivan in New York, over the board, and won by the Nlanhattan players.

It is first in 1840 that we hear of another match by correspondence, this time between New York and Norfolk, Va. It was to consist of two games, conducted simultaneously, and the winning party was t o be en· titled to a fine set of men. The players on the purt of New York were Colonel Charles D. Mead, a member of the New York bar, and Jumes Thomson, both of whom were later in Europe and played Kieseritzky. In the Norfolk committee was, among others, Littleton W. Tazewell, formerly Govern"or of the State of Virginia.

The moves in the games were published in the New York American, which deserves therefore a place in the history of ear ly American chess columns, the first regular of which appeared, as it is well knowri, in the New York "Spirit of the Times" the first March of 1845.

The first game lasted two years (1840-1842) and was drawn. The second, begun by Norfolk, was concluded in the early days of June 1842, when at the 26th move, New York announced mute in four mOves. As it is .a fine spceimen of Old Days play, we bring here the score of the game:

The game reported above made the round through all thcn existing chess magazines and columns of the world. It appeared in Bell's Life, in the Chess Player's Chronicle and in tbe Palamede.

St. Amant , the Editor of the Palamede, condemned in his comments the sacrifice of tile ' exchange made by New York at the ·15th move as unsound, and asserted that the winning of the game by New York after that move was the result of "luck." Norfolk, he maintained, should have played QxKt instead of RxKt. Some yeurs afterwards, Stanley pub­lished the gamc in the "Spirit of the Times" (1846, May 2nd), denying the allegation of the French critic, and appended some variations to prove the corredness of New York's course. st. Amant, upon receiving n copy of Stanley's remurks, rectified his error: there is however a certain air of incredulity about his apology: it was evidently difficult for him to believe that any chess player at a distance of three thousand miles from France and the Cafe de la Regenee could be able of form ing and elaborating a combination so deep as that in question! I

At the close of the contcst, n dispute arose as to the actual result of the match, drawn gumes being ut that time .considered us nihil. Norfolk insisted that the match consisted of two games, that one was not the majority of two, and consequently the whole struggle resulted in a druw. New York replied that if one was not the majority of two, it was yct infinitely greater than nothing! A long paper warbre reo sulted: b·ut the mutter wus nt length submitted to the adjudication of O'Sullivan, wbo decided in favor of Ncw York and in a long essay demonstrated the justice of his decision. New York therefore received the pri7.e . - This and many other amusing detuils about curly correspondence play can be gathered perusing old books and cbess columns, but alas! chess history, like the best things of the world, like wisdom and wealth, like books and beauty, like the pies of Strasbourg and the wines of Cyprus, is an enjoyment confined to a comparatively small portion of

B EFORE uits year's final round struggle between the Marshall

and Manhattan Clubs, there wus an air of expectancy-for this might be the Marshall Chess Club's "year," their first in six annual contests. Had not the Marshall lost a very close match the year before · (9-7) and had not the Man· hattan been held to a draw already in the current competition by a weaker Marshall ' reserve team? In· deed, the Manhattan was giving draw odds-they must win to re· tain their title. However, the hopes of the Marshall fait hful were soon crushed, for thc Manhattan once again fully asserted its superiority with an overwhelming victory of 7%-2% (wilh two games udjourn· cd).

It seemed that the Marshall Club just could not get started. Halper and Lusker lost early, and then Hearst fell victim to a startling and most sound opening innovation in one of his favorite variations (not any more!). Kevi tz came through \\ ith a vic tory over Horo· witz- ·the Marshall's lone· win- in a mad time scramble, during which Horowitz, it is said, missod a win·· ning try with scant seconds left. Hill, Pilnick and Seidman perform­ed more admirably than the other Mat·shall stalwart.s, but their efforts were u~rewarding; the Manhattan swept those boards also.

The Reshevsky·Siinonson game (it wil! be remembered th:lt Simon. son brilliantly defeated the grand· mnster in last year's malch), was, of course, the feature game, but it involved fcw of last year's thrills and surprises, and ut adjournment, it seems a likely draw with Reshcv· sky having . lhe plus, however. (After the two adjournments are played off, the probable match reo sult will be 9-3).

Perhaps the ManhaUan's crush· ing viCtory cannot be explained ex· cept in terms of playing superior· ity, btit it is interesting (but fruit­less!) to consider wbether the Mar­sball would have been more success­ful if Reuben Fine had played this year; his competition wouM have strengthened the team all along the line.

IN BRIEF; Final entrants in Man· hattan C. C.'s InternaUonal Tour· ney arc Fine, Reshevsky, Evans, Kramer, Bisguier, Shainswit, Horo· witz, Byrne, Najdorf, Euwe, O'Kelly and Guimard. 'Rossolimo and Bol· bochan were · forced at the last mo· ment to withdraw their entries, but Fine's inclusion makes the tourney even slronger than it had been .. Milton Hanauer's exhibition at Mar­shull Chess Club resulted in 14 wins, 2 losses, and 3 draws for the exhibitor. . In a tandem simultan· eous, lasting six bours, on the Co· lumbia University · campus, E. Hearst und J. Sherwin scored 35 wins, 2 losses, and 3 draws .. . Ar­tbur Bisguier will be inducled in the June draft call.
