The Wingham Advance-Times, 1974-12-05, Page 202---7Crofisroa -December 5, 1974- CHESS TIME Is game a pain or religion? By JOSEPH KILL BROWN A salient reason why chess Is the world's most controver- sial sport is because no one can make up his mind what It's supposed to be. Some call It a science, others an art form. Cynics say it's only a game, but ea -champ Emanuel Lasker labeled it a struggle. To some it can be a pain. Czech grandmaster Vlastimil Hort, cowinner of the U.S. Open, passed up one presti- gious tournament so that he could, for a change, enjoy be- ing someplace with his wife without having to play chess. My own feeling is that chess Is a religion. Insult a man's wife and abuse his children: he will find a way to forgive. But contradict him in chess, and a case is soon made for the rehdroduction of capital punishment. Anthony Salt's denigrat- ing review in "Chess Life" of Reuben Fine's book on the Fischer-Spassky match climaxed with his scorn of Fine for avoiding "the great- est opportunity of any chess player's life": a crack at the world championship, back in 1948. It's doubtful if the former may ever forgive the latter for living. Saidy, in thrn, was rapped by England's Ray Keene for excessive advocacy of romanticism and beauty in his own book, "The Battle of Chess Ideas." Quoting the thchethatthe beauty of a movelies in the thought be- hind it, Keene contended that level-headed realists play for the win; beauty and chess wisdom being byproducts of this major objective. Chess is aLso becoming something it was never In- tended to be: a battleground for political supremacy. Ludek Pachman, the former Czech grandmaster who was imprisoned after the 1968 in- vasion of his country, was dropped from hisoWn club's tournament- when the Rus- sians threatened to withdraw Boris Spassky and Lev Polugaiev*/ if he was al- lowed to play. In an open let- ter to Bobby Fischer and the chess world, Paclunan' ex - wit to, 1417 tiP m441p. Par. It was Siegbect Terrauch who coined the most famous phrase in the game's history when he noted that, like loves ilke music, has the power to make meirhappy." To which aorneone responded that chess, like love, like gun- fire, only had the power to make men Went. boded them to mist the Sovi- et "bhickmail." Recalling that his impriaon- merit brought protests from, among others, Graham Greene, Jean-Paul Sartre, Henrich Boll, Amnesty Inter- national, and the pupils of the Anne Frank School, in Utrecht, Holland, Paclunan continued, "Chess players want to devote themselves to their beautiful game and are entitled to ... no interference from the uproar of this world," but; "... it is always dangerous to refuse others the same privilege one claims for oneself." Many voices at the IBM tounuunent, in Amsterdam, were quiescent, but not that of New York's grandmaster, Bill Lombardy. At the Van Gogh Museum, the smoke from his cigar mushroomed into a furi- ous cloud, almost obliterathig the paintings on the wall. "The Russians are using chess to gain political advan- tage," he fumed, glaring at the Soviet entourage nearby. "Pachman is a competent and qualified chess professional. The Russians have no right to prevent him from making a living. If we let them get away with it against this man, they will try it against you and me, and anybody else they don't like. FIDE (World Chess Fed- eration) is made of jelly, iind if it doesn't stand up and stop the Russians on this one, it de - 19711 OLYMPIAD Sieges, West Germany William Lombardy (USA) L Popov (Baa) OLD BENONI DEFENSE 1.

To make these decorations you will use heavy cardboard, large sheets of paper (far pat- terns),...empty..cereal. -boxes, string, house4ho1dpilyglue, alumintunfokscissots; sharp knife or matt blade, soft wip- ing - cloth and black paint (bulk or spray), also carbon or tracing paper. To make your patterns, de- cide how large you wish the decorations, I suggest ap- proximately 31/2 feet. in height. Cut a sheet. of paper that size, fold in half lengthwise (Fig. 1). Against the folded edge draw half your design. Cut out this outline, unfold 'and trans- fer the drawing to heavy cardboard. Make six kings in this manner. To make raised designs, I used circles, squares, crowns, clothing decorations, etc. cut from the creal boxes (Fig. 2), using the paper patterns on which I had sketched the de- sign. Glue these on the basic forms, then glue siring on all outlines, facial features, beard, hair, clothing, etc. When outlining is completed, smooth household glue over the entire king. Put a sheet of aluminum foil several inches largef than the decoration, then texture by crumpling arid carefully smoothing it out. Now smooth the foil over the entire form and with your fingers' gently press the foil around string and raised de- signs.

At its best, that's what it does. At its worst, it is a sog- gy, congealed mass of chopped meat breaded with albg and,fried inlatthat is not tot enough or not fresh 'enough, or a combination of both. , What it really can be is a de- licious main dish of finely minced chicken, fish or meat (great for using leftovers) ap- propriately Seasoned and usu- ally held together by a thick white sauce. 'Os shaped into cones or, rolls which are dipped in eggs or crumbs and fried in deep fat. It may be served with or without benefit of a sauce on top. Croquettes are limited only by the imagination of the cook. The meat in croquettes may be extend'ed by adding rice, bits of vegetables, bread, and of course the croquettes may be completely meatless. Following are the basic rec- ipes for croquettes. BEEF CROQUETTES 2 cups ground or finely chopped cooked beef ST RiN 0 canued"4 0 Ditt. iminto T tlita tillilbeP04010 4p- StRiiMillb FIG.

Next, spray or wipe black paint over the entire foil sur- face, let dry for a few seconds, then wipe with a soft cloth. Remove excess black paint leaving only that which re- mains in crumpled foil lines and around raised areas. The black paint dulls the silver of the foil, leaving an effect of old silver and emphasizes the embossed effect. These decorations may be used over a fireplace or on any wall as they are flat and lightweight. For outdoor use, spray the finished decoration with acrylic spray.
