CHESS POINTS
Russia tops
player list
lily ROSS WILLIAMS
The World Chess Federa-
tion's 1975 rating list contains
the names of nearly 1,300
chess players. One hundred
international grandmasters
from 22 nations are included
with 201 international mas-
ters from 40 nations.
The Soviet Union has the
largest number of active
masters and grandmasters
with 50. Yugoslavia is second
with 37. The United States is
tied with Hungary for third
and fourth place with 21.
Therankings of Yugoslavia
and Hungary are astonishing
when their populations are
compared with the popula-
tions of the Soviet Union and
the United States. Yugoslavia
is running the Soviet Union a
dose second in the ratings
with a population only one-
tenth as large. ` These two
smaller nations ezhibit a
strong national interest in
chess.
Robert Fischer has the
highest rating in the list. Ana-
• toly Karpov, Fischer's offi-
cial challenger for the world
championship, is second. The
third highest rating belongs
to Victor Korchnoi, the player
Karpov had to beat to become
the challenger.
Fischer's rating is 2,780.
The lowest rating is 2,200.
There are 85 ratings at 2,500
and above, and these„ are con-
sidered the premier active
players in the world. Thirty-
six of the 85 (42 per cent) are
players in the Soviet Union.
The United States and Yugo-
slavia are tied for second and
third place with eight each.
Hungary is fourth with six
followed by West Germany
with five. The strongest play-
ers in the world, however, are
Russian. Of the top six play-
ers, five are from the Soviet
Union. Eighteen of the top 30
are Russians.
This Russian preeminence
is indicated in a review of the
Candidates Matches played
in 1974 to establish a chal-
lenger for Fischer's crown.
Of the eight candidates, five
were Russian. After the first
round, the international fla-
vor of the event ended. All of
the semifinalists were Rus-
sian.
The rating system used by
the World Chess Federation
and many of the national fed-
erations was developed by
Professor Arpad E. Elo of the
United States. Elo is chair-
man of the U.S. Chess Feder-
ation Standing Committee on
ratings. He is also chairman
of the World Chess Federa-
tion's Qualification Commit-
tee, which has responsibility
for the International Rating
List. The Elo system ranks
each player according to the
quality of his competition and
the player's demonstrated
accomplishments against his
competition.
Tournament Notes - The
fifth annual Louis D. Statham
Masters -Plus chess . tourna-
ment is scheduled for April
13-24 at Lone Pine, Calif. The
prize fund is $12,500 with
$4,000 to the winner. This is
one of the strongest privately
sponsored tournaments in the
world. You have to have a
rating above .2,349 to enter.
Last year's winner was Inter-
national Grandmaster Walter
Browne.
Game of the Week - The
Botvin ik-Tall game last
week was one of Botvinnik's
better wins. Fred Reinfeld,
who edited and modernized
P. W. Sargeant's Champion-
ship Chess, suggests we look
at 6 ... B -R3. Try 6 ... P -Q4 in-
stead. At Wijk aan Zee in
1974, Walter Browne played
this game against Jan Tim -
man of Holland.

March -Good Seed Month
Though March winds may blow
and we may have snow, spring
planting time is surely on its way.
Farmers who don't already have
° their seed for this year's crop
should be thinking about buying it
t, now, So,: it's, appropriate that.
March is Good. Seed, Month.
"We promote Good Seed Month
each year to remind Canadian '
farmers of the advantages of
using certified seed," explains
Agriculture Minister Eugene
Whelan.
Certified seed is grown and
tested under strict regulations
and anyone buying it is assured of
uniformly high quality, good
. gernawatjon and.puraty.
"Farmers should weigh the
merits of using certified seed,"
Mr. Whelan says. "It pays off in
The long run with increased
yields, fewer weed problems and

better disease resistance."
The slogan for Good Seed
Month in 1975 is `Don't Gamble -
Use Certified Se'd' .
"There's a lot f truth in this
year's slogan," Mr. Whelan
points out. "In many areas, the
late spring and early.frost of last
year have damaged potential
seed. Much of this lower -quality
seed may not grow very well."
Farmers are assured of good
seed germination if they buy cer-
tified seed that must meet a
minimum germingtion. percent-
age.
"I've often said farming is a
gamble -we farmers must take
our chances on the weather and
we are never sure of making a
profit. But there's no reason for
taking a chance on seed--.--we
top-quality certified seedd in
Canada and we should grow it."

ON THE SLANT - image distortion is evident in this
picture of downtown Chicago taken from .a hotel window
with even a normal lens. With a wide angle the slanting -out
effect of the buildings in the background can be made even
more pronounced.
PHOTO FUN
Distortion
can be
creative
By GILBERT HILL, FPSA
Any photographic lens can
distort the image on the film
in a camera when used "im-
properly" - either acciden-.
tally or on purpose.
And there is no place where
it is more evident than in the
use of wide angle lenses. The
purpose of a longer than nor-
mal, telephoto lens, as ex-
plained -last week is to go after
as big an image as possible on
film.
The real purpose of a wide
angle lens is to help the pho-
tographer out of tight spots. It
covers a broad area, even
though images of elements in
the picture are smaller.
So, a wide angle lens is al-
most a necessity, for instance,
in making a group picture in a
very small room. Because the
photographer f$ env 'Mee n
low -powered flash often is
sufficient for good lighting.
But perhaps the real reason
for the popularity of the wide
angle lens these days is the
extreme depth of field - com-
pared to normal and telephoto
lenses - which they produce.
The photographer can stand
at the end of a long table filled
with people and keep them all
in focus - even though tIio'se
nearest the camera may ap-
pear twice the size of those in
the distance. Some of the fine
architectural pictures of long
corridors, interiors of small
rooms, and even pictures of
long buildings from a camera
position across .a narrow
street are possible, with ev-

Photographers who are in-
terested in producing pictures
which are as "normal" as
possible will consider that a
35 -mm, or at most a 28 -mm, is
"wide enough" for their work
with a 35 -Min camera. But
this is just a start for the one
who believes that distortion is
"creative," and there isn't
much doubt that a picture
made with .a "fish eye" lens
can be much more arresting
than one with a 21 -mm lens.
So, the first question be-
comes how wide, and how
much distortion is desirable
for a particular picture?
There are some "fish eyes"
which are so wide that the
photographer has to be care-
ful to keep his own feet (or the
legs of his tripod) out of the
picture.
While the photographer
with the long lens wants to
stand away - and have room
for handling lights between
the camera and subject - to

The same technique is Was
used in advertising photogra-
phy. A picture of an automo-
bile made carefully from a
point near the front fender
can make a compact car look
like a luiury model. Or, a
,close-up front end slot can
give an impression of size and
power.
It is the same result begin-
ners often get when they pose

out at he camera. Fort can bn

sidnny legs can become dis-

On a more practical basis, a
picture can be made from out-
side the gate of a school, or
church, or factory, keeping
the gate in focus and inviting
the picture viewer back seem-

eemingly for along distance to see
the building, the mountains,
or even a herd. of cattle on

The photographer buying
lenses must first decide what
kind of pictures he wants to
take, then learn to use his
tools to reveal the world as he
sees it.
Graphics,
wood go
together
By BARBARA HARTUNG
Q. My husband and I have
bought a very contemporary
condominium and want to do
it super modern. The living
room is not terribly large but
it looks out onto a private pa-
tio through 12 -foot sliding
glass doors and windows. My
husband wants to wood panel
one wall and I would ,much
prefer to do bold graphics. all
over the wall - actually just
swaths of color. How would
wood look on one wall and
murals on the other? -
T:M.V.
ies and wood be Ti i!
matte. You might get a do
lie done of drama by combin-
ing' two 011 several walls.
Why don't you paint super
graphics on the wood wall
and even your sliding glass
doors, eliminating the need
for an window covering if
you already have privacy
with a patio? It could really
be quite stunning. Check with
your paint store for they cor-
rect kind of paint which will
do what you want on the
glass.
