If tie's not, it might mean only an extra year, The length of a champion.. ship match has always been.a problem. Before titledefenses were regulated by -FIDE (in- ternational Chess Feder- ation), they were what the champions said they were. ( Some of Alexander Alek- hire's matches werefixed at 36 games. Fischer-Spassky was limited to 24.) Many also managed to put off title defenses for literally years.

"Nothing can enlighten stu- pidity and stubbornness," he grumbled about an inade- quate opponent. _ "A mule would not improve his tactics, even if he went through twen- ty campaigns." • The NewYork International Tournament of 1889 could also have been for mules, not chessplayers: Thirty-eight rounds were scheduled, but drawn games' were required to be replayed- Accordingly, some players plowed through 40 games, locked 'in daily combat with virtually no rest days fora period of over.. two • months.

"We can hardly believe our chess masters are, so easily upset," he informed his read- - era "Or that two months con - tinned devotion to the game is lately to exhaust their powers of endurance, any more than two months attention to busi- ness would prostrate any or- cknary mortal .. it seems to be the fashion to claim for chessa position among the sciences, rather. than keeping it in its , proper sphere - a most enjoyable pie," he wrote, as he undoubtedly • stepped .around the bodies ly- ing in *the hall. �, Wile ile its unlikely anyone is going to rush right out to or- ganize a ,Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty' to Chess - players, it's not too late for FIDE to formulate new rules that world make • the game less of an endurannce cutest and even more of a spectator HANDICAP GIVES EQUAL CHANCE -Shane Webb once beat her father in a bawling garne.
