MAIL CHICAGO Congratulation on your weekly chess column. The growth of chess in recent years has been nothing short of sensational; in metropolitan Chicago alone, there are almost 2,000 regular tournament players, 20,000 to 30,000 avid followers of cheaa news, and hundreds of thousands of persons interested in the impending Bobby Fischer-Boris Spassky world championship match. You might be interested to learn that New York chess WHERE'S ANSWER? CHICAGO On Sunday, Feb. 27, The Tribune launched, with a chess puzzle on the front page of its Arts Fun section, a new feature, a weekly chess column. The problem was that white must checkmate in two moves, and the answer was promised on March 3.

But Q-K6 the answer given does not even check the black king and my knowledgeable chess friend assures me he can, with that move, prevent checkmate via any second white move. Dean Terrill fYour fcnomledgeable chess friend will find he cannot avoid checkmate after Q-K6, the decisive move called fot in the contest rules. There are, of course, more than ieth eral possible black attempts masters are picking Fischer over Spassky by a score of Wk-Vh, the Las Vegas odds-makers say Fischer llVi-Vh, and in Chicago the top chess masters are predicting Fischer 12-7. World chess opinion-even in Communist Bloc countries favors Fischer to defeat Spassky. Richard Verber President Chicago Chess Club CHICAGO-It was a delight to see you start a chess column.

My colleagues and I have been running chess tourneys in Chicago since 1961 and have seen Ithe growth from that time on-ward, from about 275 U. S. Chess Federation members to over 1,500. Most of these avid buffs are, of course, from the Chicago area, the rest being scattered thruout the state of Illinois. These figures do not include the many thousands of players who do lot participate regularly in tournaments but keep up their interest in other ways such as postal chess, informal tourneys, and friendly games.
