Two of the four contenders ( Boris Spnssky and Tigran Petrosian) are ex -world " . champions -- another intrigu- Mg factor. -Perhaps it's., the nature of the game, but* a chess champion's attitudes about his profession and to- ward himself are more thought-provoking than is generally the case with his, counterparts in other sports' activities. When an interviewer asked Petrosian for his definition of a world champion, he re- sponded; "First among equals" - a small sentence with a large amount of truth, which would not exactly win him the Muhammed Ali Award for Truth in Self -Ad- vertising. In the year before the fatal match at Iceland, Spassky was asked about a champion's role in the face of defeat - a prophetic question. Boris re- called Emanuel Lasker's dic- tum that a man bears a re- sponsibility for his work, but not for his results. "The world champion, in general," said Spassky, "ought not to be afraid of losses. He must meet them boldly and fight all the time." After Holland's Max Euwe won the championship from Alexander Alekhine, in 1935, the excitement in the Nether- landswas greater than atany time since the defeat of the Spanish Armada. There was street dancing; all-night par- ties and speeches regaled the crowds - except when Euwe told his fans he was overjoyed at winning the title, but did not believe he would remain champion long. (Naturally he lost the return match.) Such self-doubts never troubled Efim Bogulyubov who, despite his numerous de- feats to Alekhine, was fond of boasting that "When I play White, I win because I am White. And when I play Black, I win because I am Bogulyu- bov." Not all champions are so sanguine. At a Women's Championship In New York, some years ago, Gisela Gres - ser administered checkmate and then whispered to her op- ponent: "I'm sorry." The reason why most wom- en players remain, in Bobby Fischer's immortal term `wealdes,' may be because of this less -than -total dedication to the cutting of throats. Romania's champion, Mini - beta Polihroniade, is -an at- tractive Bucharest journalist who appears on television and radio, writing and speaking on all aspects of contempo- rary culture = except chess, can't ub Such public chyn ess is aP' parently not a problem with 'the . Soviet Union women's team. When the Paris fashion .magazine Elle arranged a match between a squad of Russian females and the pride of French masculinity, the ladies made pate de fois gras out of the home boys. The positive approach of the distaff group undoubtedly derives from the same phi- losophy of Mikhail Tal, an ex- champion not noted for sheltering his light under a bushel. His second at a tour- nament in Yugoslavia was Ivan Boklentz, whose talents were employed for something more than just analyzing variations. Koblentz's job, according to a local journalist, was to pat Tal on the back, every morn- ing, and tell him bluntly: "Mischa! You're a genius !

GORDON GREEN yousasolumpopoloomeentememessusesisommeonmessmsm t One of my Ontario reader rakes me over the coals thi Tells me exactly what h thinks of me. "You're a reaction ary!" he says. "A Iittle 'c' con servative! In other words, an of fogy!" And he goes on to reassure m however that I'm not likely to d much damage because anyon with a grain of perception will have no difficulty in seeing tha I'm an old fogy and out of step with the times. Well, come to think of it sadly maybe I am an old fogy. After all, I do like to put out the flag on the First of July, and \ I'm rather proud of the fact that I can sing the first verse and the chorus of "Oh Canada" in either French or English. Why I even stand at at- tention when the band plays "God Save the Queen", and according to many of today's intellectuals that puts me So far out in right field that I'm almost over the foul line. Furthermore I'm not very co-operative with the great people who are now so deter- mined to make this world a better place to live in by telling us what tp eat, drink, smoke and wear. As well as what to think -and how to amuse ourselves. I still make my own porridge, and if I can't soon find where to get a bottle of milk in which the cream is still per- mitted to come to the top of it, I'm bloody well going to milk my own cow too, legal or not. I am indeed So far behind the times that I still think homemade bread is' better than that wonderful crusty, crunchy air-conditioned, oak -lac- quered stuff the international baking companies put out to safeguard the health of Christen- dom with. And I'll go on eating homemade bread till the day I die, even if it does mean that I have to die for the lack of Vitamin D. I suppose that the Chamber of Commerce will think that I at least might buy an electric knife to slice that homemade bread, but 1 don't even have an -electric can -opener yet or an electric, toothbrush ! I'm such an old fogy that I like cheese that won't spread on your bread like axle grease. I like cheese that smells and bites back i s at you, and how you can build a s billion dollar industry, by taking e the spunk and savor out of every - kind of cheese you can set your - hands on is beyond me. d I do not insist that every banana worth buying has to have e • the importer's stamp of approval o stuck onto • it. I'll even eat an e apple without washing it. I don't appreciate credit cards, even the t ones I got for free in the mail from people who don't know me from Adam but who assure me , repeatedly that they're more thanwilling to trust me. The fact that I still like to read poetry doesn't exactly make me old-fashioned because nearly •.every writer who can't publish anything else, writes poetry today. What sets me apart from the truly cultured people is that I would like a 50-50 chance to un- derstand the poetry I read. And the modern writer who can be understood is regrettably low- brow. Yes, I know I'm a crank. When I rush into a drugstore because I feel a sneeze coming on and ask for Kleenex, l am apt to be quite rude to the sweet young thing who asks demurely if I want canary yellow, or pink, or lavender. • Damn it all, I just want to blow my nose! And I would that I could utter the thoughts that arise in me when the supermarket tries to sell me toilet paper that is both flowered and perfumed. But that, I guess, will have to await a day when the censorship laws are a bit more lenient. OR UUD CAR$ 1972 CHEVROLET d•aiiHkr HAM IOU power, toile 1972 OLDSMOBILE Nits N. $44HorN.
