CHESS TIME
Game
needs
teachers?
By JOSEPH MILL BROWN
When chess was reborn at
Iceland in the sununer of ,'72,
it dawned on people that
chessplayers might be live
human beings who play the
game for a living. Now it's
time to think about those
gladiators who have served
bravely for years and are at
crucial points in their careers.
At the Interzonal Tourna-
ment in Petropolis, Brazil,
Sammy Reshevsky, who was
a 'child prodigy over 50 years
ago, had an easy mate against
Russia's Vladimir Sairon. To
everyone's horror, he pro-
ceeded to sacrifice his queen
and the game - in what an-
other grandmaster charac-
te'rizedas "the blunder of five
centuries."
It seems that, like everyone
else these days, the establish-
ment stars are being as-
saulted by a combination of
youthful, opponents and
hardened arteries.
New faces in the U.S.
Championship at El Paso,
Telt., belonged 'to California's
John Grefe and Jim Tarjan,
and Andrew Karklins of Chi-
cago, who are in their twenz•
ties. They scored'against vet-
eran grandmasters Larry
Means, Pal Benko and Arthur
Bisguier who, though in their
forties, impressed by playing
while seated in conventional
chairs, rather than shawl -
draped rockers.
Age is not the only culprit
'fora ebeasPhlYer's dimin-
ished skills. I asked a British
master his..reason for some
disappointing tOUrnament
performance.s by otir pjayers.
"American grandMasters are,
bridge players," he snapped,
sounding like an acOuser • of
transvestites.
An English journalist in-
formed me ' that Americans
would replace the Russians in
chess "if only they weren't so
concerned about making
money from the game." It
surprised me as I hadn't real-.
lied that. everyone else
workedhard at chess, studied
long hours, and wrote about it
just for free boxes of cracker-
jack,•
The, fact is, American
chessplayers have universal
eating habits, though. some
manage to starve to death
when their games run into
overtime. If too Many grand-
masters play on long after
their skills have diminished, it
may. be because their alterna-
tives are limited.
A half -century ago, ex
world champion Emanuel
Lasker had an interesting
idea. Chess, he reasoned,
needed good teachers; Inas-
ters of chess who could intro-
duce young people into the
game the right way; "by lec-
hires, good books, by live play
with their pupils, by assisting
at matches of the pupils and
making notesand comments
on the good and weak points of
the games played."
_ The chess world, Lasker
felt, could ease the difficult
life of a master by making a
profession out of. teaching.
"Who would want the chess -
masters who have the
capacity ,for excellent teach-
ers in them to become medio-
cre in some other profession?
The function of a chessmas-
.ter, who would be principally
a chess teacher, is useful Ad
grateful. In other domains
:of human activity... teachers
of the above type are not even
possible," Lasker said. •
Now, at time when many
other sports are moving to the •
city4earn and league concept,
why not chess? And with thou -
'1
sands of new che#iddctall,
over theC;Country, BEnanUOI
Luker 's prophecy carries
more relevanCe than ever he,
fore.
If novelty continues to Mask
as modernity, theonly way
. soon left for an overaged
grandmaster to make a buck
will be to play chess in the
nude. Considering the PhYst-
cal condition most of than are
in, it would be enough to make
the public switch to checkers.

type situation. Personality
fears galore have caused you
to stifle your relationships
with other people.
You want to be so,meone;
you want people to like you,
seen in your strong high t
crossings. Then you go in re-
verse; back to your past, re-
calling all your unfulfilled
basic needs, and you say, "I
can't!" 'This agonizing confu-
sion is seen in your variable
writing slant.
You are avowing your emo-
tional wheel out of balanee,
and you feel insecure. Reality
becomes too demanding. So
you escape to live in the
clouds.
As you view life from "way
up there," take a good look
around. You'll find that no one
is really secure. Security ex-
ists in an untroubled heart,
and there are too few of those
around these days.
The only workable plan is to
draw the curtain on your past.
Then take positive steps
ahead, accepting the risks
that are involved.
There's nothing wrong in
having a castle in the air, as
long as you build a firm foun-
dation under it.

There's a big difference be-
tween soap and detergent if
you're doing more than wash-
ing behind the ears. And there
are many uses for these
cleaning substances beyond
the obvious ones that come to
Mind.
Next time you're washing
dishes, remembef,that soap is
important in polishing jewel-
ry, Vulcanizing tires and for
making pictures such as the
accompanying illustration.
Volume D, 1973 "World
Book Encyclopedia" has a
three-page article on the his-
tory, development and manu-
facturing precestes of this
commodity. The term "soap
opera" comes from the fact
that leading brands in the in-
dustry are among the
heaviest advertisers On tele-
vision, not only the sponsors
who make daytime drama
possible, but many other pro-
grams too.
Offered statistics claim,
"On the average a person in
the United States uses about
28 pounds of soap and deter-
gent a year." There's no way
of knowing, of course, if these
figures include the bubbles
blown intim backyard on a hot
summer day or the amount
consumed on a rainy one if
you decide to experiment with
an entirely new art medium.
Black construction paper is
best to use because sharp con-
trast is desired. Pendl outline
the picture you have in mind,
as with any drawing. A wintry
Scene suggesting lotsoof snow
such as mountains or a snow-
man is most appropriate.
White glue that comes in a
plastic tube and squeezes out
in a fine line hi the easiest to
use. The contahier then be-
comes a paint brush. Howev-
er, an ordinary, thin brush
dipped in paste is another pos-
Bible method. The important
thing is to "paint" a glue out-
line over the entire design.
Work carefully as errors can-
aot be erased. There is no
need to rush since the white
glue does not dry too quickly.
Pour some detergent into a
dish. The little.round globules
make sharper pictures. An-
other time,though, you may
wishto experiment with soap-
flakes and see how entirely
different the results will be.
Then, with a teaspoon,
• sprinkle and shake the pow-
der all over the glued areas.
Next, shake off the excess.
Have paper covering your
work surface 84 the extra
powder can be saved and used
again. .
Mounted on a whlte back-
ground, your picture is all fin-
ished. Hang it anywhere, per-
haps, except in the bathroom.
That battlefield cry of old just
happens to apply to this par-
ticular project: "Ftemembei,
keep your powder. dry !"
VINYL TILE
When purchasing floor tiles
most shoppers want a tile that
will be resilient underfoot but
resistant to permanent dents.
Consumers' Association of
Canada reports that 100 per cent
vinyl is the best choice for all but
basement floors. While one of the
most expensive floor coverings', it
has good gloss retention and
excellent grease resistance.

located at 100 Gloucester Street,
