Ambitious players wanting a practical guide to the middle game will find that Ludek Pachman's great trilogy, which is completed with this volume, stands in a class of its own. In each of these books the need for understanding is emphasized: there are too many variations for any memory to store. The player must understand the basic principles involved and the typical positions or maneuvers that can arise. Ludek Pachman's examples will augment his experience and should facilitate finer judgments as to the types of position to aim for, how to plan for them and in the allocation of priorities. But games also need to be viewed as an entity, and for this reason the author has concentrated on teaching by means of whole games. Ludek Pachman, the West German and former Czechoslovak Grandmaster, has taken part in international chess since 1945.

Clear, Concise Strategic InstructionBy R. TobiasThis is one of the classics of chess middlegame instruction. Covering more or less the same ground as Nimzovich's more famous 'My System', it is a condensation of the original three volume work. The most important principles are all here, however. Pachman was a very strong GM in his heyday, and he covers many vital topics with authority. Concise and clearly written essays are followed by superbly annotated games from many of the greats of the early and mid-twentieth century like Nimzovich, Alekhine, Smyslov and Botvinnik. Concepts like play in the center and on the wings, pawn structures, and how to play with the various pieces are are covered. The chapter on how to use your rooks is considered by some strong players to be so good that it alone is worth the price of the book.

    Universidad del Norte - Archivo Parrish Seníors Scíntílíate • Dr. Arthur E. Billings, retired sur- geon of Philadelphia, and Presiden! of Merion Golf Club, was the star in a foursome of distinguished seniors who played Pinehurst's number one course on November 20th. Dr. Billings poised his number two wood and performed the delicate operation required to score a hole in óne. It was at the eighth hole, 181 yards, up hill. This is one of the more difficult par three holes on Pine- hurst's four courses. Dr. Billings played the first nine in 35. Aided by a birdie three at the 345 yard 13th, where his second was two inches from the hole, he played the second nine in 36 for a total of 71, one over par. He took a bogey four at the 176 yard 18th, but it was a very satis- factory round, not only to Dr. Billings, but his partner Robert A. Stranahan of Toledo. Their opponents were Joseph Wholean of Cypress Point, Calif., and Seminóle, Palm Beach, Fia., and Earl Ross of New York, a former president of the Metropolitan Golf Associiation. These gentlemen played the sixth, seventh and eighth holes in a best balí of 2-3-1 against the pars of 3-4-3. Strana- han contributed the deuce, Wholean the three and Dr. Billings the ace.
