USCF CELEB ATES BIRTH OMAHA BECKONS ALL PLAYERS TO "JUBILEE" OPEN TOURAMENT
USCF Celebrates Its Founding With Fiftieth Anniversary Open
The hospitable land of Ak·Sar-Ben is spreading out the welcome mat at Omaha, Nebraska in anticipation of the celebration or the 50th U. S. Open Championship Tournament [rom July 11 to July 23, 1949. Plans to .entertain the visiting elle.ss players in the moments wilen they are not playing chess lllclude many Interesting ideas, for Omaha is a town ricl! ill beauty a nd historic interest, aside from its commercial prosperity.
Across Nebraska's terrain traversed Coronado, the Spanish explorer, III 1541. Atter him came Lt. Zebulon Pike, LewIs and Clark, Major Stepbell Long, Prince Maxlmillan of Germany, John C. Fremont, and many others-each leaving their trace UOOIl the land. Near Omaha s tands the memorial to the herOic trek of the I"'ormons, who paused to make tho city their winter headquarters.
Creighton University, the University of Omaha, and the College of Medicine of the University of Nebraska lend dignity to the city while the J oslyn Memorial houses an art exhlhition 'i"eil worth a visit and Sllonsors both lectu res and concerts.

CHESS NOVELTY AT EASTMAN KODAK
An unusual chess exhibition was sLaged at Eas tman Kodak Co. In Rochester (N.Y.) when Erick W. Marchand and Dr. Max Herzberger were placed in different rooms with a chess set and a microphone in front of each. The audience was In a third room with a demollstratlon hoard and a loud speaker.
Each ot the two players on selecting his move would e::s:plaln his reasons tOT the cbolce to the audience by use or the loud-speaker, outline his strategy, criticise his ollponent's strategy, and make predictions as to the course of the game.
While the players found it a little difficu lt at first to concentrate on the game and at the same time s Lleak intelligently tor tbe audience as they tbougbt their moves, the novel exhibition proved a great suc· cess and was declared very etfect· ive and instrucUve lJy the audIo ence.

ex-per('s'*b.bility to see ahead several moves. As a rule, the -possibility or seeing ahead is determined by the nature of the position. Combinative s ltuatioJ)s, In whch the opponent's moves can be forced and hence foreseen, are the ones ill which calculation is easiest.
