T HE ·two pos itions above a l'e related in idea. No. 145
presents the winning idea in i ts stark eleme ntal form; in_No.
146, brilliant artistic touches arc added. The winning ioea is so
simple that the solver is not likely to forget it; in fact, most
readers who have not seen No. 145 before may bo able to solvl: it.
No, 146, however, is not so easy; the trick is force a position
similar to that in No. 145; I suggest that readers waste not too
much time before looking at the solution.

Chess (pengum Handbooks, paper, 254 pp., 228 diags. , 65C), a
primer- whieh draws most of its examples from the pas t fifteen
years and i ncludes a chapter with illustrative games on the great
masters from Anderson to Botvinn ik. Golombek begins sen s ibly e
nough with the simpler endings, discusses a few openings, puts
three chapters on the middle game, and then re-turns Cor more
complex features oC t he other divisions.
Another is the fourth volume- of Siegfried Engelhardt's
jam-packed Schaeh·Tasch en ·Jahrbuch 1955 (Berlin·Frohn au, 380
pp., DM 5.40, about $1.25). This contain s hundreds oC add resses
of players and dubs, p loy-glot h cadings (German, Englis h ,
French , Spanish ), and a "tournament b ook"--dircetions for
conducting Swiss, round·robin , and blitz. World chess news, a

KP OPENINGS
I NDICATIVE of the drift of mod-ern chess, only three of the
sixty glimes commenced with the venerable King's Pawn. Two were of
'particular theoretical signifi· cance .

held its own.

It is most curious that the the· oretieally cruoial 7. P·K4 was
not tried at all in this tournament.

quite good (or a player unacquaint· ed with the lates t twists),
