"I got the idea on a trip to Denver where I saw one with metal parts. It was different, but I thought I could do better," Mr.

Whiting said. He was speaking of an unusual chess set he saw for sale which was made from a combination of fl To distinguish each payer's set, one set is dipped in black paint all except for the bearing in the queen so it will continue to move freely. Following this, each piece is completed with a thin, feltlike materia! glued to the bottom. At this point, the assistance of his wife, Patricia, becomes prominent.

"I gave away about 10 or 12 and sold the rest," he said.

Mr. Whiting reported he had the most difficulty in developing the knight, while the queen also presented some problems. Both these pieces are unusual in that they have moving parts.

Although he had slightly less difficulty with the queen before deciding on the ball bearing arrangement, he pointed out that the bearings are sometimes difficult to get.

"I get most of them from electric motors," he said, adding that many have come from junk yards and dealers. His pawns are simple one-quarter by one-inch bolts with the nut piece pressed into i. three-eighths washer. "I had a problem doing that," he said. "I need a hydraulic press and I had to build a special tool to press them together." Has Advantage He pointed out he has one advantage in making the set since he has the use of "our tool shop." He explained he is a member of the Whiting and Haymond Construction and he was speaking of the firm's repair shop.

His castles and bishops are perhaps the most perfect pieces. The castle is made with a castlelated nut of the type used with cotter pins. "But I had to drill it part way to inset the top of the bolt," he said. The main part in his bishop is a compression sleeve for copper Banner Mng. 12.50 13.25 Bristol Silver .08 .09 Bullion Mon.

And he added that each takes three to four hours to make a lot less time than the first few sets.

One of the sets is on display at the Utah Office Supply 39 E. Center St. in Provo. Although it's for sale, Mr. Whiting declared his chess making is "only a hobby." Make Boards Also getting into the act were two of the Whiting children who made chess boards.

Daughter Patricia, 21, a Brigham Young University student, made a wooden chess board in a crafts class. A son, Wendell, 25, who operates the heavy equipment at Alta ski lift, made a few boards out of glass with leaded joints, setting on a fiberglass base. Mr. Whiting reported Wendell has a hobby of making lamps from cut glass. He explained the chess boards are made from squares of milky white opaque glass between squares of cbar brown tinted glass like the type used in stained glass windows.

Mrs. Whiting added her husband's game-type interests are not limited to chess. She explained he is a favorite among the neighborhood children because of his puzzles, both wooden and metal. Also popular among the neighborhood youngsters are his "steelies." These are large steel ball bearings similar to marbles or the balls used in pin-ball machines. Teaches Youths Mrs.

Whiting noted he is particularly interested in youths and her husband explained he instructs 14- and 15-year-old boys in the Aaronic priesthood. He reported he has taught several of them how to play chess. In addition, he has been involved in Scouting. Returning to chess, Mr. Whiting said, "I think people in the United States are going to take more of an interest in chess now because of Bobby Fischer.

He's the U.S. champion and he'll be competing against that Russian fella for the world championship. "I believe he's the first one from the United States to ever qualify to play in the world finals," Mr. Whiting said, adding, "And he might play in part of the world tournament in Las Vegas this year." Although Mr. Whiting refers to himself as only an occasional player, it is very noticeable that he is a student of the game who follows what's happening in the chess world.

Mrs. Whiting added that he is always solving or trying to solve the chess problems printed in periodicals. Great Western 2500 at .27 if Love on 2000 at bzvj Park City Cons. 8000 at 2000 at 1000 at .31 Tintic Min. Res.
