OfQ 3 I in TJ 3 Championship Chess WITH GAMES By BLAKE STEVENS Texas State Champion The Son Anlonio Chess' Club, located at Lions Field Club House, sent a tournament director to Brooks Field to supervise a srhall tournament among the military at this air force base. Morley Pastin- sky ably conducted this event and we recall that lie has helped several limes before in inter-base competition. Our club will hold two tournaments- starting in the next few weeks, i i players the opportunity of entering the type of tournament they prefer. One will be a Swiss System in which winners ant. losers play losers, probably five rounds.

Most of the stronger players will enter this tournament. The other tournament will be a round robin in which every player plays every other player. Each tournament will be set up in such a way as to have a duration of about six weeks. If a participant prefers to play someone of his own strength, he will choose the round robin, an.l if he is eager to meet stronger players, he will go for the Swiss In the past only the round robin been held at this lime of the year and it has lasted for approximately 10 weeks. Shortening the tournaments will Stevens make it possible to organize programs designed to benefit, the player.

We plan lo devote an hour to chess instruction. This has been lacking in a due to the heavy tournament schedules, but under the new plan, at least six weeks can be given over to teaching. End game study, opening analy-' sis, and tactics will be discussed by three or four of the city's lop players. Also instruction for absolute beginners will be provided and topics lo be touched upon will include the place of chess in history, art, science, and These lectures will even be designed to cater to pre-beginners, those who have heard of chess but have not decided whether or not it is a game worth pursuing, Two Knight's Defense One opening to be presented in this forthcoming scries will be the Two Knight's Defense (1 K4; 2 3 4 N-N-5). The newest feature which is planned is that which incorporates study with play.

Certain lines, under survey, will be used in tournaments (lightning 10-second play) much as the two and three move restrictions in checkers, which require each player lo make a number of predetermined moves before the commencement of the game. The chief reason for this is obvious--to allow tiie player to apply his study efforts directly to the game. We invite (hose inleresled in the club activities to keep Thursday evening open and visit the San Antonio Chess Club. Winning Contract By HOWARD SC11ENKEN and lilCMAKD FREY One of Hie toughest bids to defend against is the opening preempt. Excellent judgment is essential, especially when opener's partner assists in clouding the issue.

Today's deal, from a recent Ifturnainrnt, produced a a i of results. NORTH S. A 5 I I 8 7 4 D. 8 5 C. 0 7 4 WEST (D) S.

JI. 9 D. 4 2 A 1 0 8 2 EAST S. 10 3 7 2 II. 3 D.

10 9 7 3 5 SOUTH S. 8 4 3 II. A 10 D. A C. 3 5 2 Hearing his partner's defensively weak three-club bid, East knew a North-Saudi' must have a cold game, providing they could find the right spot, lie therefore raised lo four clubs and presented South with a serious problem.

While the double of an opening three-hid is primarily for a takeout, the double of four club was optional. North could not be blamed (oo severely for passing. in which case West would be set only two tricks a fine result when North-South can make an easy game in hearts. At two tables, North-South met disaster when South, fearing that North inighl pass his double, elected lo gamble four spades. At this contract, lio went down two- losing three spades, one hcarl and one club.

It is quite evident that, without East's action, South would double three clubs; would bid three hearts, and South would raise lo game. In the play at four hearts, West won the club king and (he spade six. North won the ace, drew two rounds of trumps, cashed the ace and queen of diamonds and led the spade queen. East won the king and returned his last club, niffcd by South. The spade jack was played, and it did not matter if West ruffed then or later.

East-West could get no more than one club, one spade and one heart trick. At only one table was four hearts defeated when West opened ihe six of spades. South foolishly finessed. East won and returned a middle spade for West lo West decided that his partner could not have a singlelon club or he'd have returned that suit. Assuming that the clubs were divided 2-1, the odds favored East's having the jack.

So West underled the top clubs. When East's jack won the trick, he was in no doubt whal West wanted. A spade continuation let West ruff will) the heart queen for Ihe setting trick. Fcss Parker Docs Co-Star's Stun Is HOLLYWOOD (AP)--Fess Park- 0" is a director's dream, lie not only docs his own stunts but his co-star's as well.

It BUDAPEST (Reulers) A having Hied to ban American jazz outright and failed, the Communist countries of Eastern Europe apparently are hoping to restrict ile influence by a compromise. According lo the conductor of Radio Budapest's dance orchestra, Emrc Szolclos, who attended an East-bloc jazz conference in Prague, the Communist countries will try to build up their own type of jazz.

In nn interview with the Budapest newspaper Magyar Ncmzel, he sard a every three months they would circulate a themselves tlreir current hit tunes, with Ihe aim of improving the standard of European-style. At the same lime, Western music would be allowed, "but we fOiouhl be critical," he added. (Since the Hungarian uprising, Western jazz and tiancc music has been played extensively by Radio Budapest.) He recognised that to be popular, music have a popular basis. He cited the success of Iring Berlin's music as a case in point. (Hungarians often arc critical of their own brand of and light musk: and say i explains why most people prefer their music Western, stylo.).
