i TTi i Championship Chess By BLAKE STEVENS United Slates Expert At Zurich, Bobby Fischer played steady, cool -chess, and always obtained equality in the opening, from the Black' side, either in the Sicilian Defense (his game against Duckstein) or in the King's Indian Defense (as in today's game). Aller attaining equality, he employed a clever stratagem--he did nothing! And like all true mullets rising to the bait, his opponents tried (o force the issue, counting on their experience lo over-run this baby (Fischer is only 36). This is the slory behind many of the games in this tournament and to re-enforce my point, here is another example.

It is a case of slriving for too much! (g) The rook can not be maintained here and Black's re-group- to oust the Rook is not harmful to his position.

(j) Black has strengthened his game nicely, yet there is still nothing much in the position. White is trying to outfox Black.

II White lo Play and Win Winning Contract By HOWARD SCHENKEN anil RICHARD FREY Since card-rending is such highly developed art In the ex- game, a prcmluin is placed upon the kind of deceptive bidding and play which makes It difficult for an opponent to read the hands. In ihe following deal, South did his utmost to throw dust In Ihe eyes of the defenders.

But Snm Fein, of Milwaukee, with 'the West hand, diagnosed the situation jwrfeclly and refused to be fooled. This was the deal-and it contained a great deal of poker as well as some fine bridge. Vul: NORTH (D) N-S S. 10 8 H. 5 4 D.

He decided that it would be more difficult for the opponents to find the bcsl defense if his hand was concealed, rather than exposed ns the dummy in a spade contract. Next, when North doubled five clubs, South elected to try for his vulnerable game with 100 honors rather than nccept ft small penalty.

(Actually, it would have been only 300 points.) Then, on the very first trick, Soulh made an excellent deceptive play. He won the trick willi dummy's ncc of clubs and discarded Ihe nine of spades! There was a compelling reason for this play. He would have to lose the lead at least twice. If he discarded a diamond on the club, the opponents would need to tear the establishment of the cpade suit and would shift to diamonds at once thereby miking certain of the setting trick when they got in with the spade South would have lo surrender. But wtth the spade discarded from his hand, South calculated that Ihe opponents would conclude that declarer had no hope of bringing the spade suit and bide their Sowtfimid IrumpV, and here is Felif CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS dci 11 Tails laiUscsto holEht 21 Mexican "ish 22 Entreaty 23 Tiio dill 24 Ohnplct assncied Hindu word 2Q Ttarisftx 37 Tabued tenderfoot In early west SOHcnpecK.

When he took his ace on the second round it was obvious that South had six hearts. If tho discard of Ihc nine jvero honest, 8ien' Sou 'five diamonds. But' why Hadn't South seized the opportunity to lead a diamond from dummy? West concluded either Soutii's diamonds must bo practically solid WrSdtitH' vvag that EuU. On this logical reason- ing, Fein switched to diamond to set the contract one trick. Note thai an unimaginative club return would given declarer the Irumps and -(Jic ilwo.
