CHESS TIME
Is game a pain
or religion?
By JOSEPH KILL BROWN
A salient reason why chess
Is the world's most controver-
sial sport is because no one
can make up his mind what
It's supposed to be. Some call
It a science, others an art
form. Cynics say it's only a
game, but ea -champ Emanuel
Lasker labeled it a struggle.
To some it can be a pain.
Czech grandmaster Vlastimil
Hort, cowinner of the U.S.
Open, passed up one presti-
gious tournament so that he
could, for a change, enjoy be-
ing someplace with his wife
without having to play chess.
My own feeling is that chess
Is a religion. Insult a man's
wife and abuse his children:
he will find a way to forgive.
But contradict him in chess,
and a case is soon made for
the rehdroduction of capital
punishment.
Anthony Salt's denigrat-
ing review in "Chess Life" of
Reuben Fine's book on the
Fischer-Spassky match
climaxed with his scorn of
Fine for avoiding "the great-
est opportunity of any chess
player's life": a crack at the
world championship, back in
1948. It's doubtful if the
former may ever forgive the
latter for living.
Saidy, in thrn, was rapped
by England's Ray Keene for
excessive advocacy of
romanticism and beauty in
his own book, "The Battle of
Chess Ideas." Quoting the
thchethatthe beauty of a
movelies in the thought be-
hind it, Keene contended that
level-headed realists play for
the win; beauty and chess
wisdom being byproducts of
this major objective.
Chess is aLso becoming
something it was never In-
tended to be: a battleground
for political supremacy.
Ludek Pachman, the former
Czech grandmaster who was
imprisoned after the 1968 in-
vasion of his country, was
dropped from hisoWn club's
tournament- when the Rus-
sians threatened to withdraw
Boris Spassky and Lev
Polugaiev*/ if he was al-
lowed to play. In an open let-
ter to Bobby Fischer and the
chess world, Paclunan' ex -

Par.
It was Siegbect Terrauch
who coined the most famous
phrase in the game's history
when he noted that,
like loves ilke music, has the
power to make meirhappy."
To which aorneone responded
that chess, like love, like gun-
fire, only had the power to
make men Went.
boded them to mist the Sovi-
et "bhickmail."
Recalling that his impriaon-
merit brought protests from,
among others, Graham
Greene, Jean-Paul Sartre,
Henrich Boll, Amnesty Inter-
national, and the pupils of the
Anne Frank School, in
Utrecht, Holland, Paclunan
continued, "Chess players
want to devote themselves to
their beautiful game and are
entitled to ... no interference
from the uproar of this
world," but; "... it is always
dangerous to refuse others the
same privilege one claims for
oneself."
Many voices at the IBM
tounuunent, in Amsterdam,
were quiescent, but not that of
New York's grandmaster, Bill
Lombardy. At the Van Gogh
Museum, the smoke from his
cigar mushroomed into a furi-
ous cloud, almost obliterathig
the paintings on the wall.
"The Russians are using
chess to gain political advan-
tage," he fumed, glaring at
the Soviet entourage nearby.
"Pachman is a competent and
qualified chess professional.
The Russians have no right to
prevent him from making a
living. If we let them get away
with it against this man, they
will try it against you and me,
and anybody else they don't
like. FIDE (World Chess Fed-
eration) is made of jelly, iind
if it doesn't stand up and stop
the Russians on this one, it de -

3 kings make
door decoration
By ALICE MORRELL
The three kings have been a
symbol of the holiday season
for centuries, and these three
kings of silver will make a
striking front -door decora,
tion. .;.
I made six kings, using
three for the outside and three
for the inside. So that I did not
have to make nail holes in the
door, I used nylon fishing line,
attached the decorations, and

ran the nylon line completely
around the door (Fig. 3).
To make these decorations
you will use heavy cardboard,
large sheets of paper (far pat-
terns),...empty..cereal. -boxes,
string, house4ho1dpilyglue,
alumintunfokscissots; sharp
knife or matt blade, soft wip-
ing - cloth and black paint
(bulk or spray), also carbon
or tracing paper.
To make your patterns, de-
cide how large you wish the
decorations, I suggest ap-
proximately 31/2 feet. in height.
Cut a sheet. of paper that size,
fold in half lengthwise (Fig.
1). Against the folded edge
draw half your design. Cut out
this outline, unfold 'and trans-
fer the drawing to heavy
cardboard. Make six kings in
this manner.
To make raised designs, I
used circles, squares, crowns,
clothing decorations, etc. cut
from the creal boxes (Fig. 2),
using the paper patterns on
which I had sketched the de-
sign.
Glue these on the basic
forms, then glue siring on all
outlines, facial features,
beard, hair, clothing, etc.
When outlining is completed,
smooth household glue over
the entire king. Put a sheet of
aluminum foil several inches
largef than the decoration,
then texture by crumpling
arid carefully smoothing it
out.
Now smooth the foil over
the entire form and with your
fingers' gently press the foil
around string and raised de-
signs. Wrap excess foil
COOKING CORNER
Croquettes can be
a tasty main dish
By KAY JARVIS
Croquette, once the favorite
on every restaurant's blue
plate special, comes from the
French word meaning "to
crunch."
At its best, that's what it
does. At its worst, it is a sog-
gy, congealed mass of
chopped meat breaded with
albg and,fried inlatthat is
not tot enough or not fresh
'enough, or a combination of
both. ,
What it really can be is a de-
licious main dish of finely
minced chicken, fish or meat
(great for using leftovers) ap-
propriately Seasoned and usu-
ally held together by a thick
white sauce. 'Os shaped into
cones or, rolls which are
dipped in eggs or crumbs and
fried in deep fat. It may be
served with or without benefit
of a sauce on top.
Croquettes are limited only
by the imagination of the
cook. The meat in croquettes
may be extend'ed by adding
rice, bits of vegetables, bread,
and of course the croquettes
may be completely meatless.
Following are the basic rec-
ipes for croquettes.

around the edges and glue
firmly to the back.
Next, spray or wipe black
paint over the entire foil sur-
face, let dry for a few seconds,
then wipe with a soft cloth.
Remove excess black paint
leaving only that which re-
mains in crumpled foil lines
and around raised areas. The
black paint dulls the silver of
the foil, leaving an effect of
old silver and emphasizes the
embossed effect.
These decorations may be
used over a fireplace or on
any wall as they are flat and
lightweight.
For outdoor use, spray the
finished decoration with
acrylic spray.
Experiment and have fun.
