English Opening
has long history
By'ROSS WILLIAMS
a".recorli that goes back to
1955, Bobby Fischer had about
750 tournament and match
games prior to the world
chamtlionship Match with
Boris Spassky in Iceland in
1972. That would give him the
white pieces some 375 times.
In those gimes, Fischer
opened 1. P -K4 ifl all but
three. Fischer had the white
pieces nine times in Iceland in
1972. He opened 1. P -K4 five
Limes. In the other four, he
opened 1. P-QB4. In this one
match, Bobby Fischer devi-
ated from his standard P -K4
opening more times than he
had in his previous 17 -year
tournament and match ca-
reer.
Ivo Nei, in his book with
Robert Byrne about the world
'championship match, "Both
Sides of the Chessboard,"
conunents that Fischer used a
P-QB4 opening only once be-
fore - in Palma de Majorca
in 1970 against Polugaevsky.
Fischer's consistent use of P -
K4 lit the past made if difficult
for Spassky and his team to
know what to expect should
Bobby suddenly shift open-
ings. This may have been
Bobby's reason for the
change. On the other hand,
what about the theoretical. ba-
sis for his previous consisten-
(7?
Bobby Fischer selected and
annotated 60 of his games and
published them in 1969. He
had the white pieces 37 times
and opened 1. P -K4 37 times.
His notes are interesting. The
45th game in the book was
against Bisguier in 1963. Bob-
by opens 1. P -K4 and COM-
ments, "Best by test." The
60th game was against Stein
in 1967. 'Bobby openedl. P -K4
and corrunented, "I have nev-
er.opened the QP on princi-
ple.'
What happened to Bobby
Fischer between 1969 and 1972
to cause him to change the de-
liberately established habits
of a career? And when he
gave up P -K4, what caused
him to choose P-QB4?.
The P-QB4 opening has a
liong history. It derived the
name, English Opening, from
its use by the Englishman,
Howa Staunton, in his deci-
sive match against Saint-
Amant -in 1841 Its Use since
then has been widespread
among chess greats. The most
interesting current usage was
Fischer against Spassky. The
English Opening an lose its
independent status and can be
transposed into other open-
ings depending on Black's re-
sponse and White's continua-
tion. Transpositions occurred
in three of the four Fischer-
Spassky games, and more
recently by Korchnoi against
Karpov in the finals match in
the 1974 Candidates series in
Moscow.
In Fischer's eighth game
against Spassky in Iceland,
some commentators-thiqk one
move by Spassky may haVe
been decisive. Can you spot
'41It? We'll ,comment next week.

DAY OR NIGHT CREATURE -Monsters usually -stalk- at
midnight, but this ugly creature can prove fun day or night.
CHILD'S PLAY
Making things
that go 'Boor
By BUROKER &
HUN'rS1NGER
Throughout mankind's" his-
tory legends and stories have
always persisted about mon-
sters, giants, and strange
creatures who are quite terri-
fying.
One reason, perhaps, is that
people actually like to fright-
en themselves, to create sto-
ries of supernatural beings
who, somehow, disappear in
the broad daylight but fill
one's imagination when it is
dark or dreary. This is one of
the many reasons why horror
stories and movies have al-
ways been popular.
A person knowsthere is no -
scientific or factual basis in
such belies, but since the
world is filled with unex-
plained mysteries, it is rather
fun and challenging to try and
account for some of the un-
known happenings that exist.
A mythical creature, said to
live in the high mountains,
particularly in California, is
known as "Big Foot." Neither
beast nor human, apparently,
"it" accounts for the disap-
pearance of domestic animals
on remote ranches or the top-
pling of trees when no storm
has occurred.
Since no one has the vaguest
idea of what this monster is
like, other- than that its feet

One of the customs which in-
trigues me most about the
Mennonites is the , simplicity of
their burial grounds. In the more
orthodox sects at least, the tomb-
stones are all rather small and
plain, and each is so remarkably
similar to those around it that you
could sight down a line of them
and find that not one of them
would be as much as an inch
higher than the rest.
Now isn't that a rather.wonder-
ful way of signing off when we
come to the end of the last mile?
suppose that in .this free en-
terprise -competitive system of
our half of the world it is only
natural for the individual Co try to
excel, to climb higher, to get
richer. And it seems to be a ne-
cessary evil that in -order to climb
to the top, one must also make
some pf his fellow men relatively
unimportant. But it seems to me
that at least in our Christian
religion - in that part of our lives
where we profess to believe in the
brotherhood of inan and that all
of us are equal before God, we
should make a quiet but deter-
mined effort to set aside this
never ending struggle for su-
premacy.
And yet in the very sacraments
of the church, in baptisms,
confirmations, weddings and
funerals, we seem to have
allowed ourselves to. get caught
up in a vicious circle of trying to
keep up with the Joneses.
A friend of mine confessed that
his baby's baptism was going to
cost him $75 that he didn't have to
spare. No more of this simple
little business of a prayer and a
few drops of water. That child
had to have a specially -made
dress for Che occasion. There had
to be an engraved christening
cup, and then a big dinner party
afterwards with alf the trim-
mings_ And liquor_
Weddings of course are now in
a luxury class all by themselves.
Believe it or not I attended one
this fall which cost the father of
the bride $10,000, but even with a
price tag like that on a wedding
there seems to be less guarantee
than ever that the transaction
will be binding. The cost of the
modern wedding is so much in
fact that many a harassed father
has offered up a secret prayer
that his next daughter will simply
elope in a cloud of dust.
Funerals too are costlier than
ever before and the cost is likely
to rise even more. Why? Well,
whatever other considerations
there might be, above all it is
simply unthinkable now that we
do the thing in a manner which
could be any less elaborate than -
what some of our neighbors have
rnanaged at a similar time.
And then when it comes time to
buy the stone, some of us at least
attach a great importance to
making sure that the stone we
plant on the place will be higher,
heavier and costlier than the
stones, which others have man-
aged round about us. Even in
death we must excel.
How pagan can we beaboutour
Christian rites?
Regardless of how great we
may suppose ourselves to be in
life's struggle for success, surely
we make fools of ourselves by
trying to perpetuate our excel-
lence when we ring down the final
curtain. Our religion teaches that
we all came into this world as
equals. Isn't it only right that we
be equals again at the end of the
line?

Begin by stuffing all ordi,
nary grocery sack with news-
paper or cloth so that it can
stand upright by itself. Cut out
large feet shapes and glue
these on the bottom so the two
pieces of cardboard used will
add to the critter's solidness.
Seal the top of the bag and
decorate it witth yarn hair that
will flop about in wild and
woolly fashion.
Light cardboard ears can
also be added. Of course, the
facial features can be any-
thing you wish. It's hard to
imagine a monster in bifocals,
though anything ip, possible.
After pasting on ditout eyes
and a num, however, you may
wish to add a moustache or
beard. Using straps of col-
ored paper and imagination,
see what sort of a "thing" you
can conjure.
Who knows, you might even
start a neighborhood fad of
collecting home-made mon-
sters, and the library has lots
of books about such creatures
of history that you might be
able to lift from the pages and
provide with three-dimen-
sional form.

Microfiche can best be de-
scribed as mini-microfilin.

Agricultural
rilb*t
in $
with Adrian Iros
At this time of year the, farmer,
He any other businessman,
takes a look at what happened in
the year that has just passed all,d
makes plans for the year ahead.
He takes inventory and closes his
books preparatory to the filling
out of 's tax forms.
It has been a year of mixed
blessings. High grain prices and
low livestock prices. Late plant-
ings, because of heavy 'Wing
rains and as a consequence corn
that didn't mature before an
early frost struck.
Nothing new and we are full of
hope that this year will -give us
good crops again. 'with a reason-
able return for our work, our
investment in money, in labour
and in anxieties. One of our
anxieties has been, and still is,
the almost continuing incidence
of strikes that has hit our busi-
ness. The strike at farm imple-
ment facturers, at the grain
handlers, at the packing houses,
at the meat graders and, still
going on, at the machinery parts
warehouses. We heard of one
farmer who needed a part for his
combine at harvest time. The
value of the part was $30, bid
because it had to be flown in frat1
Western Canada there was an
additional charge of $88 for air
freight. That buys a lot of groc-
eries, even at today's prices. We
just hope that this long strike will
be settled before spring work
-commences.
