CHESS P' 'BITS How game is organized By ROSS WILLIAMS (*wised chess has First, discernible structures. �+A. ,L '. it st, there is the structure of the encies of chess, the keep- ers cf the rules; second, the structure of chess a+,a meats and matches; t ird, the�p graded hierarchy of Each of these structures is roughly triangular _in shape, and each Is related to, ,but in some ways independent of, the other two structures. To- gether, the three structures could be described as a huge triangular pyramid, with the apex skewed, slightly toward the agency face. At the bottom of the agency face are thousands of local chess clubs. Further up are the regional and national chess federations. At the top is the World gess Federa- tion — FIDE, and its presi- dent, Dr. Max Euwe. Chess is a highly competi- tive game. The primary funs- tion of most local chess clubs is to provide an organization for the orderly conduct of intra- and inter -club matches and tournaments. These events form the base of the tournament face of the pyra- mid. Farther up, this face is the complex network of regional, national and international events organized for different categories of players. Inter- mixed with these are the na- tional and international championship events, with the Men's World Champion- ship, and the present title- holder, Anatoly Karpov (USSR), at the apex. (Mess players compete in tournaments and receive ratings that reflect their per- formance against other rated players in those tournaments. On the basis of these ratings, several million chess players from' around the world could be positioned, appropriately, on the player face of our pyramid. , At the top, we would find Robert Fischer, with a FIDE rating of 2,780. Karpov and Victor Korchnoi (USSR) would be second and third with ratings of 2,705 and 2,665, respectively, fruin the Oct. 31, 1974, FIDE list. Why can't the world cham- pion and the hap -rated player be the same person? ; remem- ber that we sa ' the py ramid is skews -d, .lightly, toward the ger,cy fatk Fi,,we, in ac- cordance vnt ie rules, took the title frL..1 1- ischer and gave it to Kari., 0/ We also noted that t e three structures of organized chess are somewhat indep.ident of each other. This is evidenced by the fact that Euwe was able to take the title from Fischer, but not his rating. The apex of our pyramid, therefore, is something less than the finely chiseled point we would like it to be. Karpov-Korchnoi 1974. The final match of the 1974 Candi- dates matches to determine the official challenger for what was then Bobby Fischer's World Chess Cham- pionship title was played in Moscow between the two finalists, Anatoly Karpov and Victor Kbrchnoi. Two British International Masters, William- Hartston and Raymond Keene, wit- nessed the event and have prepared one of the first pub- lished records of the match in the Oxford University Press paperback, "Karpov- Korchnoi 1974." (The price is 8195.) Hartston and Keene have done an excellent job of an- notating the games, and they have incorporated expert analyses of positions from grandmasters present at the match. Game of the Week. One of the chapters in Karpov- Korchnoi 1974 discusses the finely tuned skills of grand- masters, and is titled: "How can they lose games?" This loss by Karpov against Lajos Portisch ( Hungary) in Church's Fried Chicken In- ternational Tournament at San Antonio, Tex., in 1972, is annotated in the chapter. CROSSWORD'. ... By ,[. C.

I agree with his senti- ments in every way, and have been very upset since the celsius and metric systems were intro- duced. I feel it is an insult to have these changes forced on us, with- out giving everyone a chance to vote on it. I can't see where Canada's im- ports or exports have been hin- dered in past years by the weights and measures being used until now. If there is anything I can do in a positive way, I' would like to ll}ovij. . Sincerely, (Mrs.) Shirley M.

(Thomson Photo) Testing more complex By GILBERT HILL, FPSA Most- experienced photog- raphers make tests of both cameras and film routinely before starting a long trip. To professionals, particu- larly when using color, even with tests, Will work a little more carefully — change lighting perhaps, and definitely will "bracket" ex- posures, with one picture "on the button" with recom- mendations, then one with a stop more exposure and one with a stop less — especially when using any material for the first time. Never-- beforefl'tWOtOK l care 'been m f' tout than right nowth a virtual revolution in availability of both film and papers, both monochrome dnd color, be- cause of "new" improve- ments and developments in manufacturing. It is a trying time for pho- tographers, in more ways than one, but out of all the. changes made recently there appears to be a gain in qual- ity of pictures, and perhaps greater ease and speed in processing. As usual, there are all kinds of reports to add to confusion and, as usual, the only way the- photographer can . �iow for , sure is to take no one else's word for anything until he has tried out the new ma- terial in his own camera, un- ' der his own conditions, and • with Nis atm, or some other "standard" of processing. Changes have come in both films for transparencies, in negative color for prints, and even in paper itself. Early re- ports indicate a need for changing normal photo- graphic techniques in their use. For instance,. photogra- phers have long known that a slight "udder Oxposuhel' ore transpareiley-ottl , ii'oilticela darker, and- much more col- orful slide. So, they may* use an ASA index of 80, or even 100, for a film officially 'rated at ASA 64. .The new names for film, which include the index, however, appear to be much more accurately rated with an under exposure producing too dark a slide. Major laboratories warn professionals that under -ex- posures of the new profes- sional color negative films are difficult to print, and tend to "go pink instead of "blue," which was once the indication of inaccurate ex- posure, TEST PATTERN—Whether it is for a projected trip, or an assignment where good pic- tures are a requirement, careful testing is' always in order before starting --but with new films, new processes, and new papers it is a virtual necessity, even for a pattern picture like this grain elevator in Oklahomtl. Here again, some labora- tories are reporting difficul- ties while others have had virtually no problems. And the "ideal negative" in one laboratory, as. usual, may be too •dense or too thin in an- other. So, in making tests stay with one finisher — or . your own technique — that produces the best results, at least until things settledown a little. One roll of film, the shorter the better, should be enough to get any photographer with a camera in good working condition within "the ball park" for consistently good -pictures again. Shoot several different pic- tures, however, a portrait, an Outdoor scene, etc:, using the recomrnended exposure -' ways, then ° °"btlacket`'' one stop over and one under. Try the film in sunlight (If day- light type film of course), then on a cloudy bright day, and a cloudy dull day, with electronic flash, etc., so you'll know what to expect from the new film. Keep accurate records - this time. Slides normally are numbered. But larger sizes' should be checked against your "conditions and time" of exposure without cutting the frames apart — so you can zero in on the way to handle the new material. Chances are that the rec- ommendations will be quite acceptable. But if they're not, you'll know it, as they apply to your camera, your meth- ods of working, and film pro- cessing. And now might be a good time to. test out some new materials, slower or faster than you normally use, since you're already shaken out of a comfortable run. That's a way to make photog- raphy even more fun. .Glendale .Pyramid .Marlette .Bendix *large selection of doublie-wide and .single -wide models on display. *fast, efficient deliry and set up by professional servicemen. *low prices assured by our volume buying and easy purchase plans..
