SUNDAY, APRILS, 1990 LOS ANCil'LHS TIMHS B6 METRO NEWS WOW! DISPOSABLE INCOME. By JACK PETERS INTERNATIONAL MASTER CHESS A publisher called me, soliciting ads for his Beverly Hills paper. Alter my conversation with him, I assumed that Beverly Hills people have so much disposable Income, they have to lind Innovative ways to spend it, or the Cily will have to collect It in big trash bags and take it to the City dump. If I started catering to that Rodeo Dr. shopper, I'd have to change my whole merchan- dlslng Image.

Customers would have to phone for appointments-just to buy! I'd have to put a helicopter pad on the root for the jet set-have valet parking hostesses serving cocktails to shoppers and other perks catering to snob appeal. I couldn't be comfortable with that kind of stuff. I'm just a meat and potatos kind ol guy, dedicated to giving you more bang for your buck than you'll get anywhere else. gxh4 1 7 Nxd5 continues White's initiative) 16 Rfe1 Be6 17 Be5. T4BI4I White wants more than the endgame advantage he obtains from 14 QI4 Qxf4 15 Bxc6 bxc6 16 Bxf4.

Unconvincing is 12 e5 13 g5 exd4 14 gxf6 dxc3 15 fxe7 cxb2 16 Kb1 Be6, but 12 e5! dxe5 13 Bxe5 Qc6 14 g4 attacks without risk. b5l 13 g4 After 13 b4! 14 Bb5 15 Qe3 Qc6 16 Nb6 Rb8, White's pieces are precariously placed.

And 23 g5 24 Kg2 8c8 25 Ng4 h5 26 Rhl! Re7 27 e5 creates winning chances only for White. 24 Qxf4 bxa4l Preparing a post at a6 for his Bishop. 25 Qg4 Qxg4 26 IMxg4l White could straighten his pawns with 26 fxg4, but Timman wants to use the half-open g-file.

Probably 33 Bd2, intending 34 Bc3 and 35 Nf5, is most effective. dxe5 34 Bg6 Kg8 35 Ng4I After 35 Bxe8 Rxe8, White must return material, as 36 fxe5?
