The Japanese have a version called "shogi." The Chinese brain game, like chess only in some respects, is called wei chi'i. Chess depends on the concentration of superior force against the enemy's weak points in the classic military way. Wei chi'i depends upon maneuvering and wiliness.

and deep, deep thought. A player could, if rules allowed, think about a single move for hours or days. In a tournament time is limited or the game would never end. Clocks must be punched after each move, which makes for wild excitement. EACH HAS 16 PIECES White and Black each has 16 pieces, including the King.

Most powerful is the Queen. Her power dates back a few centuries, but before then she was the weakest. It seems to suggest something about the durability of women's lib. Next in power is the Rook, called "castle" by the English. Rook may come from the Persian "rokh," meaning soldier.

Thereafter in order of power comes what the English call the "bishop." For their own reasons the French call it a move the player may accidentally touch another. He apologizes at once for a "finer- fehler," which is German for some sort of "finger error." If he apologized in other languages it wouldn't sound right. Suppose a player jars the board and edges a piece out of place. He cannot touch the thing to put it back without announcing 'a in French. He could say "I adjust," but to your chess purist it would somehow sound illegal.

It's good to be up on your Italian, too. A man may open the "guicco piano." It means something like soft opening, one for neophytes, in fact, unless you are a master who knows what he is doing. "En passant" means the capture of a pawn in passing and can be done only in cer-tain circumstances. "En "fool," the Germans "runner," and the Russians "officer." Next is the Knight. Russians, Italians and Spaniards call it simply "horse." The elegant French call it the "cavalier." The literal-minded Germans, possibly because the piece moves erratically, call it "springer," or something like jumping-horse.

The other eight pieces are pawns, the common, expendable soldiers of the game. Usually the first move is a pawn; always the man who draws white gets to move first. Other pieces except the Knight can't overleap pawns. A man who moves pawns a lot is scornfully called "pawnpush-er." MUST WATCH LANGUAGE A player at all times must watch his language. While reaching for one piece to make prise" means that a piece is subject to capture, and if you say it in English a chess player will regard you as some kind of freak.

'YOU'RE IN JAM' Suppose, by your inept play, you get yourself into a bad box and any piece you move anywhere will mean trouble for you. This condition is described only in German, "zugzwang." It means, roughly translated, "You're in a jam, buster." Chess is ruled by the Feder-a i Internationale des Echecs, or International Chess Federation. It makes the rules and holds solemn annual congresses about whatever problems chess players have. attend from all continents. Once the man regarded as the grand master, the world champion, usually picked nis opponents.

Often he would refuse to play the most liVely challenger. The hassles w-re many, but few heard of th in those days. It was a benighted era. These -ys FIDE holds regular tovna-ments to decide likely cajdi-dates to challenge the w'ld champ. A TELL VARIATIONS There are many variations.

Players bored with the ortio-dox can play "rapid meaning only a few is permitted between moves or thinking. They can play bliid-folded, a real grandstud. They can play simultaneous, meaning one master opponents on a dozen or rrre boards at the same time clobbers all. Chess is played mostly in Russia, Europe and the st BY THE ASSOCIATED P3ESS The big chess championship is about to begin. For the next two miths or so the suspense will be incredibly bearable.

The astonishing thing about the match of the century is that it has made front pages. This probably on the dubious theory that somebody besides chess players gives a hoot whether Bobby Fischer of the United States beats Boris Spassky of Russia. GAME OF KINGS' Ches is not for the ordinary working stiff. A chess player need not be an intellectual snob, but it helps. He has a language of his own and scorns anyone who can't fathom it.

The kindly looking gray-beards bent over boards in chess clubs are in reality frustrated generals playing fiercely at bloodless war and dreaming about total humiliation of the enemy. Chess once was called the game of kings, probably because only a king had time enough to play it. The game's origins are lost in the mists of history. It is said to have come out of India or perhaps Persia. Checkmate, as they say in English, is derived from "shah mat," or Persian for "the king is dead." Russians say "shakhmat," Italians "scacco matte," Ger-mand, "schachmatt," Span-lards, "mate ahogade," and the French "echec et mat." The game has been attributed to a lot of people, including Greeks, Romans, Babylonians, Arabs, Jews and even the Irish.

Some say Moslem con-querers carried it all the way to Spain, whence it reached Europe. How did the Russians get so chess-minded? Who knows? In chess, the King is the target. When he cannot be moved out of the line of capture, the game is over. It taks time SUNBURN?
