That tournament was also recognized by the World Chess Federation (FIDE) as a zonal tournament, the first step in the World Champion- ship competition cycle. The second step was the 1958. Interzonal Tournament at Portoroz, Yugoslavia. Fischer finished in the top six and qualified for a place in the Candidates Matches, the third step, where the official challenger would be deter- mined. His qualification for the Candidates Matches also earned for him the FIDE title of International Grandmas- ter. At 15, he became the youngest player in chess his- tory to earn that award. The next year, at 16, Fischer finished in a tie for 5- 6 in the Candidates Matches. He had eight wins playing against 7 of the top. grand- masters in the world. Fischer won the next inter- zonal competition in 1962 at Stockholm. He finished two and one-half points ahead of the second place finisher. In the Candidates Matches in Curacao, Netherlands West Indies, later that year, how- ever, he finished four. After the Curacao Candi- dates Matches, Fischer ac- cused the Russians of prear- BETTER ENGI IS 1 By D. C. Williams WORDS OFTEN MISUSED Do not say, "We must avoid a reoccurrence of this."' Say, "a RECURRENCE of this." Do not say, "I think you are being overly modest." Much better to say, "OVERMODEST." Do not say, "I have no doubt in my mind but what he will s u c c e e d."

He then withdrew from World Championship competition, with the excep- tion of a brief return in 1967, until 1970. Fischer's full return to World Championship compe- tition began in the 1970 inter- zonal at Palma de Mallorca, Spain, and was the result of the selfless act of another American grandmaster, Pal Benko, and a massive effort on the part of U.S. Chess Federation officials interced- ing on Fischer's behalf with FIDE. Fischer had not qualified for the 1970 interzonal, and had to be admitted through Special dispensation from FIDE. When that was finally granted, one of the Amer- icans who had qualified had to step down to give Fischer phis place. Fischer took Benko's place at Palma and set an inter- zonal record when he tri- umphed by a three and one- half point margin. That,was the first of a string of fantas- tic results for Fischer. In the 1971 Candidates Matches, Fischer first beat Mark Taimanov (USSR) 6-0, then Bent Larsen (Denmark) 6-0. He then defeated Tigran Petrosian (USSR) 6 and one- half to 2 and one-half to be- come the official challenger for Boris Spassky's (USSR) title. At no time in the history of grandmaster play have such decisive results been ob- tained. Fischer went on to win the World Championship from Spassky in 1972. Now, in 1975, he has been stripped of his title by FIDE for his failure to accept FIDE rules, for a match with the challenger, Anatoly Karpov- . (USSR) . Karpov is now the world champion. Fischer's actions may be condemned by some. In the perspective, however, must -be placed the fact that Fischer plays an uncommon- ly good game of chess, in- deed, the best. Game of the Week. Pal Benko played this game against Fischer in the 1962 Candidates Matches in Curacao. Benko's attack that he uses here is famous.

Most'artists sell their paintings to the public and collect a little profit for their hard work but Anthony Kingscote has no in- tention of selling his works. "I will not sell them because it is a tradition of the old Chinese artists never to sell a painting, and secondly, I have emotional feelings attached to the paintings because I did them in the Guild," he said. Unlike many artists, Dr. Kings - cote does not have the paintings on display in his home. They are carefully packed away and have been left in his will to the Fine Arts Department at the Univer- sity of Guelph. Today Anthony Kingscote is devoting most of his talent to sketching and recreating the Canadian wildlife that lives out- side his cabin door.

Dr. Kingscote, now a Professor Emeritus, realizes tthat modern man can never return to the primitive life which he idealizes., He is merely a conservationist who believes in the moderation of modern things. Dr. Anthony Kingscote has tried and succeeded in entering Into nature's surroundings and becoming a part of it without up- , setting nature's balance. The wildlife has accepted him as a friend and this gives him great pleasure. The expression on his face as he feeds the birds and • squirrels from his hands is clear proof of his happiness. Now Dr. Kingscote has a way of outwardly conveying this pleas- ure. His strong belief inChinese philosophies and ancient art tech- niques which stress harmony with nature, are now guiding his brushes and inks to success in recreating his love for the beauty and peace he finds in -nature.
