Popular vote would probably veer to a Petrosian vs Keres match, the challenger and runner-up in the last Candidates tourney. World Students Team Championship As reported earlier the USSR won this championship at Mariansky Lazne, Czechoslovakia.

Here are more details. Eighteen teams were arranged into three preliminary sections with the first three advancing to the final. (A) USSR, 17tt; Rumania, 12V4; Hungary, 11) Denmark, 9Vaj Israel, 6Vtj Scotland, 3. (B) Yugoslavia, 15; E. Germany, 14; Mongolia, 11; Holland, 10; Finland, Belgium, 2.

(C) Poland, 15; Bulgaria and Czechoslovakia, 14'i each; England, Sweden, 4Vi; Cuba, 3V4. The Championship Final was comprised entirely of representatives from the Communist block. Mongolia received a game by default which enabled it to qualify instead of Holland. The latter, with a better match, record, protested but were overuled. Championship: USSR, 24; Yugoslavia, 20; Czechoslovakia, 19; E.

Germany, 17; Rumania, I6V2; Bulgaria, 14Vi; Hungary, 13Vi; Poland, 12Vj; Mongolia, 6V2. Consolation Final: Holland, 23; England and Israel, 21ft each; Denmark, 21; Finland, 17; Cuba, lift; Belgium, 10; Sweden, 9ft; Scotland, 9. Although billed as a world championship only Cuba came from outside of Europe. Their reason is perhaps obvious, but there is no doubt that expense prevented the others from sending teams. Another instance of the importance for North, Central and South America to investigate the possibilities of organizing such an annual tourney on this Black 9 Pieces 9H WW0.

IY MAURICE OAUTHIER the hands This means that players are given 43 chances during the year to compete for red points and when you consider that these events are held in distant spots (to our Canadian players) like Denver, Houston, Texas; San Francisco; Tampa; Chicago; Washington; Pittsburgh; you realize what a big job our life masters have accomplished. For your information, The Bulletin lists 30 Montreal players in the life master's list (as at June 10, 1962.) and Mrs. Jackie Begin leads the parade with 1634 points. Sam Gold is next with 1227, then come Marvin Altman (1020), Ralph Cohen (1005) Fred Hoffer (805) John Raynault (768), Edgar Hamel and Jim Ross (720), Andre Pauze (712 and Aaron Goodman (681) to complete the first ten.

The Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Club started its second season on September 19 with a 7 table attendance. This year's committee is composed of J. W. Boelen, Dr.

A. F. Cameron, R. L. Argue and Miss Phyllis J.

Johnston. The Club holds sessions every second Wednesday and ail members of the club and their guests are welcome to take part. Just one last word about that fantastic charity game held last July. I have just received some final documentation that showed that Canada held 10 games with a total of 203 tables and a contribution of $1,538 to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.

The American Contract Bridge League has developed a standard method of awarding master points for all games under its auspices, and it is by acquiring these master points that players can attain the different degrees qf "mastership" established by the ruling body The ACBL.

Thus a Junior Master is a player who has one or more master points to his credit on the official record. Then comes the Master a player who has 20 or more master points to his credit. Next a National Master a player who has 50 or more master points at least 5 of which have been won in tournaments of sectional rating or better. A Senior Master is a player who has 100 or more points, of which at least 10 have been won in tournaments of sectional rating or better. Now comes the Advanced Senior Master.

He has won 200 or mora points, of which at least 20 have been won in national or regional tournaments. Finally we come to the Life Master. He is a player who has 300 or more points, at least 30 of which have been won in national championships cr 50 of which have been won in specified regional events. So as you can see, it is not tbe accumulation of 300 or more master points that earns you the title of life master, you must also be the possessor of either 30 national or 50 regional Master Points, and these are the master points commonly known as Red Point which can only be acquired at a national or at a regional tournament. Now a few lines about these red point events.

There are three nationals a year and 40 regionals were held last year.

A two session open pair event was held last Sunday at the Beloeil Yacht Club and 64 players attended. Gladys Cul-len and Allan Derby was the winning pair, and Montreal teams finished second (Jean Desaultels and F.
