WITH GAMES CHAMPIONSHIP CHESS By BLAKE STEVENS United States Expert One of the most dramatic chess tourneys in recent times has been concluded at Mar Del Plata, Argentina, and I am proud to report that Bobby Fischer of the USA tied lor i place with Boris Spassky of Russia. i States Master, only 17, lost the Ji rst game to Spas- sky, who is about 21, and trailed by a half 8 point for 13 rounds, finally over- faking the pace-setting leader in the last round. Spassky gave up only three draws in 15 rounds, against Bron- stcin, also of Russia, Marini ofi Argentina, and Wexler, also from Argentina. Fischer drew with Bronstein, farly in the tournament, then won about 12 or 13 games in a row, a remarkable feat! Final Standings Combinative Play JMI Stevens Black to Play Black forces a conclusion in five moves, starting his combination with 1 2 QxN (2 BxN 3 K-B2, RxB; 4 KxN, RxB), NxP; 3 Q-N4. N-K7 ch; 4 K-R1.

Spassky ranks about fifth in Russia. Therefore Fischer may be about fifth or sixth ranking chess player in the world's chess kingdom, and only 17! Next week we can re-focus our attention on the World Champion 1 ship struggle between Tal and Bot- Vinnik.

The theme for the 1MQ exhibit is "Life In America." WINNING CONTRACT bl NORTH 4 N.T. 6 m.innr.dj By HOWARD SCHENKEN and RICHARD L. FREY Accepted methods arc not necessarily the bsst. The only way to make progress is to try a new if it works better, you adopt it, if not, you can always return to the old method. Sometimes a brand new idea will prove itself in practice without previous discussion with partner- simply because it's so logical.

Here's an example. Vul: NORTH (D) N-S S. 4 H. 5 A 9 8 7 6 2 C. A WEST EAST S.

1 0 8 S. 7 3 2 II. A 6 4 3 II. 1 0 9 D. 54 D.

In this system, there is no cither good way to show such a band when playing strong two- bids. However, players who use the weak.two-bids and have only one forcing bids--two clubs--can show the 27-29 point hand by opening two clubs and rebidding four no- trump. This means the four no- trump opening bid can be used as a Blackwood bid.

Well, which is belter? sense tells us that when we a 27-29 balanced points, we do not have to worry about the opponents competing and finding saves. But when we have a freak hand and are in terested only in aces, one or both of the opponents may also have a freak distributional hand. If we start out with two of our wear FALSE TEETH? chew, smile with REGULAR Oft HEAVY GAUGE DENTAL CUSHIONS Helpi keep seeds plait wuo ease on gumi Helps prevent clicking AT MM MM STOli HOHIII'S SWHY suit, they can enter the bidding with little danger and perhaps find a good sacrifice bid, but we begin with four no-trump, they will need much more courage or money to compete for the firsl lime at the five-level. Although one band doesn't prove anything, North-South were glat to buy this particular hand for six diamonds without a peep from the opponents. Had North opened two diamonds, East would have bid two spades, and East-West would prouablj wind up taking a cheap six spade save which is down only against an ice-cold vulnerable six bid with honors.

It's food for thought, isn't It? CHANNEL WITH CHUCKLES Sunday, May 1, 1960 San Antonto EXPRESS AND NEWS 1541 TODAY 4:30 "GE COLLEGE BOWL" "You're sure that nobody on TV recommended this one?"

Here's An Idea of the Cost By THOMAS COLLINS A major problem you will face if you plan to move after retirement will be to figure out just what it will cost to pack up go- Here Is the experience of one couple which may help you. It is not an average case, of course, because everybody's circumstances are different. But it seems to me to be a fairly typical financial accounting and at least it should serve you as a guide. The couple involved, Mr. and Mrs.

R. W. Smart, retired from the city and moved to a small town in Missouri. "We owned our home clear," Mr. Smart said, "and when I inquired from a real estate agent I came to believe I could get $16,000 for Ihe house.

I think agents are inclined to put such estimates on the high side. "We never got a $16,000 offer. Solution to Puzzle on Page 9-G. We did finally get a $12,000 offer, a suggestion of a compromise by the real estate agent, and a final sales price of $14,500. Commission $1,000 "The real estate commission on the sale and various other expenses connected with it ere roughly Mrs.

Smart and I had bought this house many years ago for $8,500, and since there were few permanent improvements I could charge against the $0,000 profit, I would up with a tax liability of around $1,200. made a major mistake here. I sold the house in the same year I retired and thus had to pay income tax on my salary as well as capital gains tax on the house profit. Had I waited to sell the house in a year in which had no salary income, I would have fared better. "We had bought good substantial furnishings for our home over the previous three years in anticipation of retirement.

At the time we didn't know we would be moving when I reached 65. But now we iiad the i refrigerator, stove and and were not willing to sell them second hand. "We got estimates from the moving van companies and made a deal to move all possessions to our new home on an estimated bid of $500. It is dangerous to get moving bids of this type, from unreliable companies. They may tell you.a job will cost $500, and you couldn't possibly figure it out for yonrsclf.

Then when the actual mileage and weight are figured you i yourself owing $1,000.
