MORE "IN SORROW THAN IN ANGER

R EVIEWING the various reporls in the foreign chess press upon the decisions taken by the F.l.D.E. ~eral Assembly at Paris in July

of this yeal'-we have not as yet received any o Uicial statemen t-we feel It quile necessary to express quietly IlU t firml y without further delay the earnest and unalterable disapproval of t he chess players of these United States to several decisions rendered by the Ceneral Assembly.

'Ve cannot regard the a lmost abject surrender or the l~.LD.E.

Ceneral Assem lJl}l' to practically every d emand, however sel(jsh, arro­gant or ridiculous, made by tho Hussian d elegation a s other than a new '~Munich" of appeasement tha t can only breed and ll ropogate the te l'lllentation of a future disaster in the world o[ chess.

'Ve r egard with au extreme distaste Ule almost ahrupt dismissal of t he generous offer of Argentina to slate th'" Candidate!; T ournament of the ,Vorld Championship in [avol' of the acceptan ce of tile later offer [rom Budapest- an acceptance which was accorded allparcntJy for the sole I'eason that Buda pest would be mOl'e convenient to the Russian IlloY8l'" (for (fl~re scoms if(tlc ollie to l'Il(;:om mcntl i t in Jlrefcrcnce to the Ilr lor oUel' of Argenti na). T his arrogant bit of IJOWer politics con­cedes to the Hussian l)layers, aC{'Olllpanied by their usual large I'etinue of theo1'ists :tI1i1 analySis, such a definite a d vanlage tilat in all Pl'acl.ical t {l rtll l! th e 1~. I .D.ll:. Gonora.! Ass .... J1ply ltI _On ~{('em:d a s a~slui ng tb.e v ictory to some scion of tile Soviet clJess regime.

Under s uch questionable circu mstances we would not criticise but rather applau d the decision of onr American Grandmas ters, Reuben Fine and Samuel Reshevsky, if ihey refused to l)ar llcipat e in such an obviously unCQ ual s truggle.

Bllt H is 110t alone the decision in regard to the site of lhe Cand­idat es Tournament that h as earned and merited American (and for that matter, world) disapproval. The whole subject of t he awarding or t he honor titles of Grandmastel' and Interuational l\Ias ter Is o ne tha t must be v iewed with honest and perturbed doubt. According to the decision of the F.LD.E. General Assembly. as reported in tile pl'ess, all the p layers who h ave been Qualified to compete in the Candidates Tourn!l' ment arc thereby ranked as Grandmasters. On this particular point we will not quarrel and iustead will concede the title ear ned by Euwe, Fine. Keres. Reshvsk y, Smyslov, Bl'Onstein, Szabo, Boleslavsky, Kotov, Lilienthal, Flohr, llondarevsky and Stahlber g . There may be a dOllbt hidden in our mind ailou t the actual quali fications of one 01' two or these so liamed as Grandmasters, b n t it was obviously necessary to sel some criterioli [or an initial grou p a nd this one snffices. so we will let our doubts s leep.

~'amcd also as Grandma ster were the voterans, Bornstein, Duras, Grunleld, Maroczy, Mieses, Hubinstein, Tartakower and V idmar. Th is select ion i s just anll wise. and we will not quibble over it, for these masters h a\'e a ll m ade their valued conll' ibutiolls to the c.'lUse of chess.

Rut when the l~.l,D,E. General Assem bly reaches down into the ranks or Russian masters to alill Ilagor.in and J..owenfisch LO lhe lis t of G!'andmasters, we must a sk pointed ly and loudly: " Where is Kashdall?" AUhoug-h he is 110t now as active in chess as fOJ'lllerly, L Kashdan has an international r ecord wh ich enti tles h im to recognition and which s ome fiftee n yeal'S ago ranked him above l"ine a nd Reshevsky as Ma r shall's s uccessOl' among American masters. His inter nalional tournalllent I'ecord hI not as long as that of some, but it includes firsts i n sevoral very important international tournamell ts , and his second place in Olhers was behind s uch outstanding Grandmasters as Alekhine and Capablanca. On the American teams which brought the Hamil ton· Russell Trophy to t hese shores Kashdan lliayed first lJOard ahead of Marsball (who woulll join T ark akower and Mieses among t he G rand· masters, if he were s till living). Out of practice at the time of the US vs USSR RadiO Match. it is t rue that Kashllan lost both games to K otov, But ill t he US vs USSR team match at Moscow a year later Kashdan scored a win all(\ draw against the same Grandmastel' Kotov to emphasize the fact that his skill merely needed a Ii ltle pollsb.

Howeve r. had th e decis ions of the F .I.D.E. General Assembly happily ended wiUI these few doubtful acts, we might have restr ained our own disapproval in silence, hoping for gr oater wisdom in future Assemblies. Dut, alas, the actions of the Assembly descended from mere [a,'ori tism into fo lly. And so we mnst denou n ce (no milder worll will serve) the ridiculous proposal accepted hy the F. I.D.E. General Assembly a t the in s tiga t ion of the Soyiet delegat ion that all USSR masters who haye 1)layed in the finals of t hree Russian Championships autO]llatically thereby become International Masters. - ·We will n ot even counter with the equally plausible claim that all Amer ican masters who have com peted in the finals o f three U. S. Championships must also be acee pted as In t ernational Masters; n or encourage o ther countries to demand like recognition rOl' the ir own Nallonal Cbampionships. For Jnternational Masters call only be created ill InteJ'national Tourna-

ments-and any decree t o t he contrary Is both foolish and illogical, and on ly serves to debase and degrade the rank of Inlernatiollal Master.

Tills last act was lhe worst by far of seveJ'a l bad decision s made by the 1",LD.E. GQnera l Assembly in its apparell t effort to -please alld appease the a rrogant R ussian de legation . And we feel i t is incu mbent ul)On us, since we bel ieve devoutly in the need alld desirability of a stro ng illlernational chess organ ization, to warn the delegates and o fficials of F .I.D.E. sotJerly and quietly that a finn and ellduriJ1g basis for a st!'oug and r,eslleetcd international chess ,Organization is not fo be tJul lt upon a llpeaselllent amI favoritism to any gl'OUP, but 011ly to be founded upon a n hOliest and Impartial endeavor to render ellual justice to all.

Dear Mr. Major;

I agree wl\oleheartcdly with your edi torial "Filtered 'l"ru,th" in lIle September 5th issue of CHESS LIFE. I enjoy all the games pub· Iish ed and lll'ortt mostly from the slightly bette]' than average games, As most of us are avel'age players, lhose a re the games that ,teach us most. Keep puillishing them. along w it h the sllperior games.

I believe I would enjoy and profit from some poorly played games, expertly annotated also. " How 1I0t to play chess" seems to

me to be a good way to learn how to play chess.

P,I1·t Two, "The l\lagic of Chess;' contains anecdotes, remarkable ga mes .HIlI their st'orieg (Marsball-Le\'ltzky 1912.

IJositioual masterpieces. and the two-rook sacrifice. Some old fa vorites ar c here, and nearly every ramous player is represcnted; but the majority of thosc games will be new to the reader. Each section is prefaced by a hv.o or three page in­troduction; eaCh gallle carl"ies a leead note pointing up its appeal, a dia­gram at the crucia l move. and brief but s ignifica n t notes.

Readers will find little to complain of at this feast. .Jay Wilson's "Check ... and i\l-ate" in Part One Is just a slick magazinc s tory; 'VU­lIam Martln'.s "The Pal'<'"ll" and .John P. Marquand's "The End Game" would have been bettet as chess and as literature and Chernev knows tills. Dut he om itted the Cormer probably because of its serious tone and tbe latter because of Its leng"th. The only important omission to the book as a Whole is an iudex. Every anthology should have an index tor purposes of referen ce. Perhaps the publishers omittetl one here as a savillg to be passed on to the readel", for not the least astonishing fea­ture of this grand book is the low pri ce, $3.50.
