What score should decide the wiener? Recognizing the frequency of draws in match play, should a limit be imposed on the number of games to be plaYed? If so, how many? These questions have been a prime concern at Internation- al Chess Federation, FIDE, congresses over the past four years. They have not been successfully resolved. During July and August, 1972, Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky played a match for the Men's World Chess Cham- pionship. It had a limit of 24 games. Twelve and one-half points for either side won the match. Each player received one point for a win and a half point for a draw. In the event of a tied match, 12 to 12, Boris Spassky would have retained his title. Fischer actually won this match with a score of twelve 'and ane -half to eight and one-half when Spassky resigned the 21st game. In, 1971, before his match with Spassky, Fischer' peti- tioned FIDE to adopt differ- ent rules for the World Cham- pionship „Match. Fischer wants a 10 win, draws don't count_ no limit match. If the match reaches 9 to 9, it would be declared a draw with the champion retaining his title. A spread Of at least 10 to 8, therefore, would be required to declare a winner. FIDE aa' cepted Fischer's proposal for the 1975 match with one ex- ception. It reduced the num- • ber of wins from 10 to 6. Fischer continued pressing for 10 witlis Without success at Skopje in 1972 and at Hel- sinki in 1973. The last FIDE congress scheduled to con- vene prior to the World Cham- pionship Match in 1975 was held in Nice, Fiance, in June, 1974. Fischer repeated his re - ▪ .q lest. for 10 wins. this time the Congress voted and nar- rowly adopted ischer's posi- tion. His victory was short -lied, `however, as the Cowmen then reversed itself on the mateh length issue and impoaed a 36 - game limit. The rule was for- mally changed frau 6 wins, no limit, to 10 wins, 36 game linnit, If no one hadj4 wins be- fore the 36 game limit was reached, then ties would count and the winner would be the lye' vvith the highest score, The rule was changed on June 26,1974.On Juane 27, 1974, Fischer resigned his FIDE World Chess Champion title. Who's right in .this issue? What should the rules be? Game of the Week: Leonard Barden in The Guardian says that Karchnoi gave Karpov the quickest and worst beat- ing of his life in the 21st game of their recent match that we published last week. He sug- gests we look at 9 ... N -B3 as the start of Karpov's down- fall. This week let's look at a game Fischer lost to Spassky in a tournament at Mar del Plata in 1960.

GEORGE MRAZ, airport veterinarian for Agriculture Canada's Health of Animals Branch, gives a final check to a Hereford about to embark fo% Czechoslovakia. FLYING CATTLE BARN. Pacific Western Airlines converts one of its Boeing 707s' into a cattle barn to fly Canadian Herefords to Czechoslovakia. The 1,105 cattle, which will be the basis of a new beef industry in Czechoslovakia, were airlifted to Prague and Bratislava in 13 flights. Cattle to Czechoslovakia The people of Czechoslovakia are not likely to see cowboys ,are over their hills, but they are seeing the familiar red and white Herefords grazing on ranches in western Canadian style.° Czechoslovakia took delivery of 1,105 polled Herefords purchased from Canadian cattle producers for a pilot project aimed at using the hillside rangeland in south- western and eastern Czechoslo- vakia. If the project is successful, the Czechs could be in the market for up to 10,000 of the Canadian beef animals. The hill country, similar to the Alberta foothills but with a slightly milder climate, is mostly in the Sudetenland. The cattle -1;054 bred heifers and .51 bulls -were flown to Prague and Bratislava by Air Canada and Pacific Western Air- lines in 13 flights in November and December. Most ' European beef comes from dual-purpose cattle raised -on typical dairy farms, says Dr. W. H. J. Davis, import-export supervisor for Agriculture Cana- da's Health of Animals Branch in Ontario. He said one of his prob- lems was persuading the Czechs that Canadian Herefords can take care of themselves on the open range. "As long as they have forage and a little shelter from the ele- ments they don't need to be brought into barns every night," he explained. "The whole point of the project is to develop a Cana- dian ranch -type operation using a minimum of manpower." A team of buyers from Czecho- slovakia visited Canada in early autumn and arranged to buy the cattle from 63 farms in Manitoba. Alberta and Saskatchewan at an average price of S550 each. The whole project, including air transportation from Toronto to Czechoslovakia. was worth more than S1 million to Canada. Also. for this project the Czechs are accepting cattle vaccinated for I.B.R. f Infectious Bovine Rhintracheitis ). a virus disease which can cause death. It is a dif- ficult disease to control, and some European countries require a negative blood test for I.B.R. Vaccinated animals can show positive results on a blood test -for some months after they've been vaccinated. Dr. Davis says "Many Canadian cattlemen have vaccinated their cattle for the disease. and the procedure has. for this project. been ac- cepted by Czech veterinarians.." 1 t is hoped that. if the project is successful, their acceptance will encourage other countries to , change their requirements to ac- cept vaccinated cattle. The cattle were flown to their new homes in loads of 75 to 100 between November 5 and De- cember 8. Dr. Davis accompa- nied one load and remained in Czechoslovakia for five days to discuss the project with Czech agriculture department officials and to visit the ranches to check on the health of the animals. The general health of the Canadian Herefords was good and there was no evidence of I.B.R., he says. The project will be monitored carefully and, if successful, could lead to purchases of up to 10,000 head_ of Canadian beef cattle. Take time to discuss safety During the past year how much time was spent planning your cropping program, doing your books, reading agricultural li- terature and discussing safety? We in agriculture spend more time on inputs, yields and addi- tives than we do on ourselves. You would be an exception to the rule if you spent a lot of time on the safety program of your farm. Yet it is a major and integral part of every phase of your operation. Take the time to discuss a safety program with your family. World getting more crowded World population num- bered about 545 million by 1650; by 1750 that number had grown to 728 million and then things speeded up. By 1900 the total was 1.6 bil- lion and today it has more than doubled.
