His result is the best by an American in a foreign round-robin tournament in many years. MEMORIAL PAY CLASSIC Chess fans were thrilled by the performance of an unheralded master last weekend at the 11th Memorial Day Classic in Santa Monica. Despite the efforts of 36 masters in the 168-player Championship section, 17th-ranked Thomas Wolski, a master for barely a year, took first prize of $1,500 by winning six straight games. In the last three rounds, he achieved successive upsets of IM's Igor Ivanov and Jack Peters and GM Walter Browne, the last in sensational style. Wolski is only the second player in the tournament's history to score 6-0 in the Championship section.

Third-ranked IM John Donaldson was clear second with defeating IM David Strauss in the final round. Browne, Peters, Matthew Beelby, Burt Izumika-wa, IM Doug Root and top expert Philippe Olivier finished with 5-1. Stephen Booth, Charles Van Buskirk, Ron Frasco, Cliff Hart, John Patty and Peter Yu split the master prize, Juan Fausto was top under 2000, and Pharaoh Habakkuk was best under 1800. Stephen Rose, George Waters and top unrated Howard Goldberg led the 1 19-player Reserve (under 1800) section with 5V6-V6 scores. Jeremy Martin was best under 1400.

The Memorial Day Classic honors the tournament's founder, Lina Grumette, who died in 1988. She tried to emphasize fun in her tournaments, and her successors have carried on the tradition by arranging a variety of side tournaments.

Wittenberg was a frequent competitor in California tournaments in the 1970s and 1980s, and he attained a master's rating in the mid-'80s. His father jokingly called him "the second-best chess player to come out of Culver City High," a teasing reference to famous Culver City High graduate Diane Savereide, who became U.S. Women's champion.

Chess players will remember him most for winning the brilliancy prize at the 1986 American Open. Recedntly Wittenberg had concentrated on postal chess, and he was on the verge of earning a master rating in that game too. He was 35. INTERNATIONAL MEWS Yasser Seirawan of Seattle won a strong international tournament in Han-inge, Sweden, ahead of former world champion Anatoly Karpov. After a blazing 7-1 start, Seirawan drew his last three games to finish with 8V6-2V4.

SOFA LOVESEAT CHAIR COMPLETE i One woman died Saturday and four people were injured when a pickup truck heading south on Interstate 5 blew a tire, lost control and flung four people into the northbound lanes, authorities said. About 11:10 a.m., Guadalupe Vil-lalba, a 29-year-old Huntington Park resident, was driving toward San Diego about three miles south of Basilone Road with four passengers in the bed of his 1979 Ford pickup truck, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Bob McLean. When his tire went flat, Villalba lost control and hit the center divider cable, ejecting his passengers into the path of northbound traffic. Rosario Lara, a 47-year-old resident of Mexico, was killed when she was struck by a northbound 1983 Oldsmobile driven by William Sablan, 25, of Camp Pendleton. Three others who were thrown into traffic but not struck were taken to Mission Hospital with moderate to minor injuries, as was Villalba.

Another passenger who was riding in the cab of the truck was uninjured. FREE LAYAWAY TAKE WITH TODAY OR DELIVERY ARRANGED IMMEDIATELY HOLLY HILL 4-PIECE BEDROOM SET Features Rich Grained Finish.
