By LARRY EVANS The Best Laid Plans The opening game of the re cent Fischer'Petrosian match in Buenos Aires was dramatic and exciting. Riding the crest of a 19-game winning streak, Bobby was lucky enough to draw the white pieces against the imperturbable ex-world champion.

But 42-year-old Petrosian was well prepared for his youthful antagonist. So well prepared, in fact, that he refuted one of Bobby's pet weapons against the Sicilian Defense. Departing from his usual cautious style, Petrosian seized the initiative with a sensational new 11th move. But he failed to proceed energetically, swapped pieces and drifted into an inferior ending where his great defensive genius was foiled by the clock. Short of time, he missed a draw.

Petrosian tasted brief glory by winning the next game. But this was not enough to halt Bobby's resolute drive to a 24 game title match with Rus sia's Boris Spassky.

MAR. 18 AT 8 P.M. left is answered at the bottom of chess column. There is no contest involved, The first three correct answers receved were from: Dean Johnson, 2309 W. 24th PL, Broadview.

Gerry a 5917 W. Newport Chicago. Fred Burkhardt, 3609 N. Kimball Chicago. Each will receive a copy of "My 60 Memorable Games," written by Bobby Fischer in collaboration with Larry Evans, The Tribune's new chess columnist.

Evans, whose first regular column appears on right, will inscribe each winner's book. Dean Johnson, an 11-year-old Boy Scout who has studied chess for "about three years," took several hours to do the problem. Gerry Jen-dras, a senior at St. Patrick's High School, "didn't take long" to figure out the answer. And Fred Burkhardt, a player for 40 years, "noticed two traps in the problem" but solved it in about half an hour.

As consolaton to those chess players who could not solve our frst problem, Evans offers this reminder: "Composed problems bear no relationship to practical chess." His weekly column in Arts Fun will include problems end practical chess. (a) In the 7th game Petrosian varied with 4 P-QR3. (b) A dubious time-consuming maneuver. More solid is 6 P-QB4 with a Maroczy bind. (c) Better than 8 Q-R4ch 9 Q-Q2! NxP 10 QxQ, NxQ B-K3, K-Q2 12 QN-B3! NxN 13 NxN as in Fischer-Taimanov, 1st match game 1971.

(d) Prepared analysis, improving on 11 N-Q5 12 N-B4, P-B4 13 PxP, NxP 14 B-Q3 (Fischer-Taimanov, 6th match game). (e) Also strong is 16 RxP 17 N-K4, Q-N3! (f) Missing the thematic 17 P-K5! 18 B-K2 (not 18 NxP? BxN 19 BxB, KR-K1) RxP 19 Q-K3, N-K4 with active chances. (g) Leads to trouble. More viable is 20 P-B4 21 P-B4 P-B3 with equality. (h) 36 R-Q3! followed by a Q-side Pawn advance should hold the draw.

(i) A better try is 36 RxP but White still wins with 37 K-R3. POPS JEFFREY SIEGEL Piano Soloist ORCHESTRA ARTKUR FIEDLER Conducting MAIL ORDERS Tickets: $3.50. 4.50, 5.50, 4.50, 7.50. 10 00 at Boa Office and all SEARS Stores. Mail Orders to Allied Arts, 20 N.
