Dane Wittenberg was shot and killed May 27 while working as a taxicab driver in the Los Angeles area. 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 NEWS Yasser Seirawan of Seattle won a a Week!

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, 1 7th-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 5 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. Walter Browne's World Blitz Chess Assn. (WBCA) began the weekend with a 61 -player speed tournament, which Browne won with 11-1.

Edgar Carreno, George Mirahmadi and Charley Armen-darez tied for first in a very popular 59-player Beginners tournament. The tournament concluded Monday with two Action chess events, which drew a total of 64 players. Jim Thinnsen and Sid Rubin won with 5-0 scores.
