Opening lead: Ace of A competitive auction that started with high-level pre-empt resulted in North-South preaching an inelegant contract of five hearts. A double of four spades would have netted a sure profit 500 points if North-South found their diamond ruff but with 'such good support for hearts North can hardly be blamed for raising to the five-level. West led the ace of spades and continued tthe suit for declarer to ruff. Declarer had to "avoid losing two club tricks, and it was obvious that an endplay would be needed. After drawing trumps in one round, declarer cashed the king and ace of diamonds and ruffed a diamond, then played off the ace of clubs, on which East dropped the queen.

There were now two possible endplays. If East held the king of clubs as well, declarer could cross to dummy with a trump, ruff out the remaining spade and then throw East in with a club. East would then be forced to yield a ruff and sluff, and the contract would be home. However, declarer concluded that East would not have pre-empted with such a good spade suit, the king and queen of clubs and possibly a diamond honor as well. Instead, declarer decided to play East for two Singletons.

South crossed to dummy with a trump, led a spade and discarded a club from hand. Whether East returned a spade or a diamond, declarer would trump in dummy and discard the remaining club from the closed hand. Making five-odd. CHESS Ex-champ still commands board at age 80 In four years of simultaneous play in Sunrise where he keeps a winter home Sammy Reshevsky has won 85 games and drawn nine without a loss. Add eight previous years of simultaneous play and his South Florida record becomes a phenomenal 291 victories just five defeats.

Ra2 Rc8 21. Qd2 Bc4 28. Qd7 Resigns By HUMBERTO CRUZ Chess Columnist So, will this be the year somebody at the Sunrise Chess Club beats Sammy Reshevsky? "I doubt it," acknowledges Ed Fowler, secretary treasurer of the club, who is organizing a Reshevsky simultaneous on Wednesday. "He is as sharp as ever." He is. Reshevsky, a former U.S.

champion who turned 80 years old in November, is still playing in international events and winning. His most recent major event was in June in Moscow, during an all-grandmaster "Tournament of Veterans" in honor of former world champion Vas-sily Smyslov, who was born in 1921. Reshevsky beat Smyslov in their individual game, and finished the tournament with 4.5 points in nine games. He then won two games and lost two against Smyslov in a four-game match played at the action chess speed of 30 minutes per player per game. Game 2 the match, won by Reshevsky, is one of our featured games today.

Born in Poland on Nov. 26, 1911, Reshevsky was a child prodigy who gave simultaneous exhibitions in Berlin, Paris and London. "I started to play when I was 5," Reshevsky recalled, "and I was giving exhibitions when I was 7." He moved to New York in 1920, and later won the U.S. championship seven times (once in a tie). He competed for the world championship in 1948, in a five-player tournament held to seek a successor to Alexander Alekhine, who had died two years earlier.

Reshevsky could only tie for third, but he did defeat Mikhail Botvinnik, the tournament winner, in one of their games (he drew two and lost two). We bring you victory over Botvinnik as our second featured game today. Botvinnik is one of srvpn nlavorc are neophytes. Their 28-coin set (including 14 designs, proof and uncirculated) proposal for the 1996 Olympic Games reminds me of the Seattle street beggar I once met. He had a Design of one of three paper cup uel Lasker, Max Euwe, Alekhine, Smyslov and Bobby Fischer.

And here is another of Reshevsky's achievements: He held Fischer to a 5.5-5.5 tie in a match in Los Angeles in 1961. Technically, Reshevsky won the match, because Fischer refused to continue play after a dispute with the organizers. One of two victories by Reshevsky in the 1961 match is our third featured game today. Against this kind of competition, what chance do players at the Sunrise club have? Just look at the record. In four years of simultaneous play in Sunrise where he keeps a winter home Reshevsky has won 85 games and drawn nine without a loss.

Add eight previous years of simultaneous play in Delray Beach, and Reshevsky's South Florida record becomes a phenomenal 291 victories, 33 draws and just five defeats. Will he go undefeated against this year, he was asked, "I will try my best," he said. The exhibition on Wednesday will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the club, 9525 W. Oakland Park Sunrise.

The fee for playing Reshevsky there is still time to sign up is $20 for members of the Sunrise Chess Club and $25 for non-members. day, four-round Swiss will include an open section and others for players' rated under 1900, under 1600, new-! comers, under seventh grade and un- der fourth grade.

Olympic people are, in effect, saying that they will only accept collectors' hard-earned dollars on their terms. U.S. participation in the Olympic Games is financed almost entirely by the private sector.

Other nations readily subsidize their athletes' time, training and efforts. Coin collectors have been more than willing to contribute to the cause, but within reason, bounded by common sense, two virtues lacking in this proposal. Barnard's outrageous proposal for the 1996 28-coin set is said to be based on recommendations made by a marketing firm with little apparent experience with the coin market. No recognized numismatic experts in the field of commemoratives acknowledge being interviewed. Commemorative coins play a legitimate role in fund-raising activities, but the audacity of the Olympic request is further compounded by their demand that Congress allow no other issue than their own during two-year period of anticipated sale.

To ask coin collectors to pay thousands of dollars to own a "complete" set of 1996 U.S. Olympic coins is ludicrous. Collectors are astute enough to wait for the secondary market after the games to develop and secure their acquisitions at half the issue price as "investors" dump their non-earning hoards. All Atlanta's advisers need to do is to look at the 1976 Canadian Olympic coin program. Thousands were sold for little more than bullion, at prices below their face value.
