Probably no chess plwer ever forgets the first book of chess or that served to introduce him or her to chess literature. In my case it was a smell sized 220-page text originally pablished in 1894. My oopy was a 1917 reprint with the imposing title of " The Minor Tactics of Chessn.It was written by two Boston Brahmins,-Franklin K.Young and Edwin C. Howell. A Brahmin is defined as an intellectually and eocial- ly cultivated peruon regarded as aloof; especially a person from one of the older New England families. Certainly the ideas aemed up in this chess book (given to me by my father when I was thirteen years old) were consistent with a Brahmin attitude. Let me quote two typical passages from this book:

"When K is subjected to the operation of a radius of offenoet or, in technical language is placed in check, it must on the following move be removed from check, if possible." Or disouusing Pawn formations:

"The first open P integral is composed of the first salient and the first composite supporting parallel (together consti- tuting the first compoaite angle of resistance), and the two elements of the normal P base, with K in its Position after caatling (KR)."

Actually de~pite the stilted writing style the book was not altogether stultifying since amonp other things as a "firat examination of a specimen of play" they reviewed in depth Pal Morphyvs famous game with the Duke of Brunswick end Count Iso- nard. No amount of'doofness' on the part of the authors could poasibly detract from the fascination of this superb display of chess magic.

Some weeks later after reading, but not really understand- ing this first text,I went to the Milton Public Library in a suburb of Boston and with considerable trepidation located a ponderous two volume tome by the same authors dealing witti the strateeical principles of chess. This treatiae was so abstruse and complex in presentation ( with references to the Napolenic wars and artillery formations among other things) that my inter- est in cheus was aoon dampened.

About 30 years later I chanced on a copy of "Winning Chese Traps" by Irving Chernov (1946). Browsing through this chess publication complately changed my conception of what chess waa all about. I became addicted to the game. I till consider this book by Chernov to be an outatvlding effort in terms of inspiration, easy comprehension, and logical presentation. I UrKe anyone to give itBany youngster who shows the least inter- est in the game. Speaking of youngrrters, it seems I have played more than my share of young playere whom I have managed to outplay when they were say ten to fifteen years of age only to meet them several years later and find myself on the losing end. Very humbling, of course. I once played Bobby Fiecher at the Log The Black Knight i~ ou~tedbut is White's King more exposed Cabin Chess Club whenhe mayoung~ter but in that enoounter than the Black King? I lost. At this point I would like to annotate a tournament game 15 P-KB4 F-KB3 of last April played at the Toms River Chess Club. I won this 16 P-KB51 PxKP game with a young high schopl player but I predict that in a fw 17 BMP N-B3 years he may well oatplay mg. I oall this phenomena the Law 18 EcP N-K5?? (see diagram) of Ages. For the present , at least, we are equal contenders.

A dubious move at best. Tons 5 BB NxB River won 84-5t, but it was actually quite close and could have eone 6 F-gB3 N-N1 either way. Here are the board results.

Toms River Chess Club I am pleased to send my warmest congratulations on your 20th Anniversary. Your activities andaccomplishmentsare so many that I would have guessed your age to be easily twice twenty.

Both of my visits involved giving clock simuls. I guess my friend Steve Doyle just enjoys watching me work, since it is well known that clock simuls take up considerably more time than other chess promotions. All my opponents acted llnormally enough", except for former club president Mark Bennett. Mark literally blitzed the first 25 moves in the attempt to get me in serious . But I am happy to report that lqjusticell did triumph in the end. Many, many happy returns and I look forward to again visiting your fine club.

LIPTON. ROSEN 6 KAR founding! May it have many, many more birthdays. My only visit to the Toms River Chess Club was on the evening of January 8, 1982. It was pleasant and memorable. As the organizer of the evening's agenda, you will reraefnbm that we all enjoyed a large, delicious chess cake, I "submittsd" to a Question and Answer session on the platform, that I gave a small simultaneous exhibition against 10 of your talented junior players, and that Joseph H. Vicari, Mayor of the Township of Dover, in the County of Ocean and the State of New Jersey, graciously welcomed me .t~~tBe,.comun&tg and pre- sented me with a Township of Dover Proclamation. The Question and Answer session was my first and only public speakhg effort. How did you talk me into it? Was it the beginning or end of a career? Another feature of the evening was my simultaneous game with Daniel Pillone. &nny gave me the hardest fight of anyone and probably should have won or drawn. As a result. I-was happy to take him along on the Collins Kids Team to Reykjavik, Ice- land last December-January. The Toms River Chess Club is a fine one with its spaciousness. good lighting, PA system, ventila- tion, well chosen tables, sets, boards, and en- thusiastic and friendly members. Tvro decades is a good start. Keep it going and again congratulations. -.-- Chessically,
