TOURNAMENT Col THE MATCH BEGINS! - - - * - - - * FIRST 6 GAMES DRAWN * ( ~ P. 82) Q: UNITED STATES Volume XXI Number 4 April, 1966 EDITOR: J . F. Reinhardt THE MATCH BEGINS The title match between defending champion Tigran Petrosian and the challenger, CHE S S F E D E RATION Boris Spas.sky. began in Moscow on April 1l. The match will, if it goes the Cull distance, consist of twenty·four games. PRESIDENT As wc go to press, six games have been completed _ all of them draws. Lt. Col. E. B. Edmondson Spassky had white in the fi rst game and opened wi th L P·K4. Petrosian re­ plied with the Caro-Kann, defended well, and proposed a draw after Spassky's 37th VICE·PRESIDENT move. The offer was accepted. David Hoffmann The second game, with Petrosian as white, was a Queen's Gambit Declined. REGIONAL VICE·PRE SIDENTS Although the Champion had a favorable position and an extra pawn, he was unable to make headway, and the draw was agreed to after 50 moves of piay. NEW ENGLAND Stanley King Harold Dondls The fifth game of the match was a real test of Petrosian's famou~ defensive Ell Ho u rdon ability. Spassky, playing white, reached an advantageous position at the adjournment, EAS TERN Donald Schult~ LewIs E. Wood being a pawn ahead. Soviet experts believe that the Challenger missed a winning Uober! LaBelle line on his 50th move. After this, the defense pr oved impregnable and the game MID·A T LANT IC Wlll!~m Bragg was dr awn after 79 moves. Earl Clary E dward D.

  • 1992, Russia, the City of Orel. I Am a 23-Year-Old Student and I Am Fond of Playing Chess
    1992, Russia, the city of Orel. I am a 23-year-old student and I am fond of playing chess. My dream is to win the "Turgenev Prize", a round-robin tournament named after the famous writer. However, the 11 opponents I have to face don't care much about my dream. In the 9th round, Semyon Mikhailovich sits at the table across from me. He is at least 50 years wiser than me. Having the advantage of playing white, he is a strong, but a good- natured and smiling opponent, despite the fact that some accident left him with only one eye. The old man starts confidently, moving the d- and c-pawns forward. I very soon manage to attack one of them, but it’s nothing dangerous yet. The most reasonable thing White can do now is to advance the e-pawn to e3. My plans to outnumber the opponent’s army would shatter at that move, but to tell the truth I have not expected an easy victory. But wait, what is happening? Semyon Mikhailovich's hand is reaching out to the f2 pawn just next to the right one and throwing it forward. They are so similar, these white pawns standing in a row.
