He has to study all the time. The countries i publish pamphlets and books at great openings always prize money to gel to Munich where be found plane space home. Chess is not a popular game, and there are no funds to send the American champion to tournaments. Bobby won two tickets to Yugoslavia on a television program. His 21-year-old sister, Joan, took the second.
