He has high praise for it, claiming that it's easy and quick to learn, and is passing his discovery to others of his playing group. Goren's book is to be published next month, but a pocket summary of the Precision System is now available at a cost of 50 cents.

This simple convention can be used by an average player by just changing three items from what he has always used. It has proven effective and covers every range precisely. We're impressed with the fact-that relatively unknown players have won national and i nternational championships, using the 'Precision System.

And too the fact that it has been adopted by such world -reknowned stars as Italy's Benito Garozzo and Giorgio Belladonna, the proof is in it's use by an average rubber bridge player.

Whistling Past the Graveyard There is naturally great interest in Russia, as everywhere else, in the forthcoming match between their representative, Mark Taimanov, and the American genius, Bobby Fischer, whose avowed aim is the overthrow of the Russian hegemony which has dominated the world championship for two decades. Alexander Roshal was assigned by the Soviet chess newspaper "64 to interview Taimanov about his opinions and prospects. The translation is from "Chess Taimanov: "I have absolutely no complex about Fischer. For me the most difficult opponent from the first group (Geller, Korchnoi, Petrosian, Huebner) would have been Petrosian, then Korchnoi. But the most interest-Ing opponent, I believe, is Fischer, and secondly, Larsen.

I've always wanted to play Fischer. It will be very interesting. Fischer has certain defects, primarily he has no match experience. His tournament skill may not show in our match. Besides, I repeat, he is an exceptionally interesting opponent and, It seems to me, he has changed as a person.

was quite unexpected but nice to hear his opinion of me: 'Taimanov 'a great Although Roshal: "Although you haven't done anything special to deserve such a compliment? On the contrary. Taimanov: "Yes, on the contrary! More tnan anyone else I was always against him. This time (it began at the Olympiad) my opinion of him changed sharply. Fischer Is, of course, childish and naive. Yet, as every talented man, he possesses many attractive characteristics.

He's got charm. "I am curiously, finding more and more new qualities of Fischer's. I consider him a grandiose chess player, but I am also convinced there Is a certain discrepancy between what he is capable of; what he deserves; and what he produces." Roshal: "But when someone produces many times, it must mean he is capable." Taimanov: "True, of course, but the nature of his accomplishments lies partially in the sphere of psychology and that has an explanation. Fischer is now, perhaps, a unique chess player who always plays exceptionally steadily and strdngly throughout the game, from beginning to end. Having a pure classical style, he indeed dislikes unclear tactical complications.

Yet he is like a good machine which works flawlessly. That is why, encountering him, his opponents very often' make pitiful mistakes and, as it seems to me, Incomprehensible mistakes. For the time being I haven't experienced such a feeling. I recall, in ttte past, it has been very hard for me to play Symslov. And when I had to play Tali frankly, I was afraid of him.

I was afraid of his power. Yet Fischer's power does not scare me. Curiously, Fischer, does not change hte manner of playing, even when he is in a worse position. In his place, Tal would begin looking for complications, confusion, and yet this one does not build illusions, does, not apply any violent measures. He plays like before, strictly clear and simple chess, trying hard to neutralize the pressure of his adversary." The recently Interzonal at Palma, Majorca, was the first' time these two players have met, so far as we know.

Test to see how much you contribute. Answer YES or NO to the following: 1. Is there one neighbor I particularly enjoy BY SAM MALTIN For a dozen years Italian players had a stranglehold on world bridge championships. This mastery of the game was credited to their use of artificial one club openings. Despite their impressive record and proof of the one-club success, North American players didn't go along with this thinking.

They had their own gadgets. In 1969 a team of "Sunday bridge players," representing China in the annual world bridge championships reached the finals and placed second. "They were lucky," it was said. How otherwise could a team of players who seldom played together, and never in world-class competition, could come up with such a showing? The same Chinese team came back in 1970 to beat the world's best bridge players, and again finish in the runner-up spot. They employed the one-club convention.

Now comes "official approval" in the form of a new book by Charles H. Goren, "PRECISION' SYSTEM of CONTRACT BRIDGE BIDDING," 226 pages, published by Doubleday. Credit for creating the Precision Club system goes to C. C. Wei, who wanted a simple convention which could be taught in a hurry, and in some cases by a correspondence course.

Using his engineering skills, Wei worked out a bidding sent it on to his players to study, trained them further on the trip to the world championships and came up with a winner. ANTI-GADGET Long an anti-gadget man in bridge bidding, Goren sees the Precision as a virtue towards the cornerstone of a system. He writes that he follows the thinking of C.C. Wei the primary aim is to make better bridge easier and more fun for average players. He a 't changed the "Goren It still remains the basis of bridge bidding.

The Precision offers additional interest, in both, playing and results. Though Goren's book is a text on bridge, it's written in easy-reading and study style, explaining the aJvantages of limited bids, and how to make good use of them. The lessons come first and you can then mark your own papers, via a quiz, advancing to the next step after graduations.
