"Even a person who doesn't understand chess can watch it as a sporting event," Lyman said. "It's like watching a hockey game on television without knowing anything about hockey just as a eon-test.

Well, there's an ebb and flow to chess in terms of aggression, attack and defense. The white pieces go this way and the black pieces go that way that's pretty easy to pick up. "The game, as it takes place, has constant confrontations in terms of attack and defense. You have the equivalent of sudden death all the time late in the game. "You can just look at a chess board and see pieces attacking or defending, pieces counterattacking.

You see the struggle in terms of patterns of white and black pieces on the board. "Chess is two armies marshaling their forces on a disputed terrain." Then Lyman explained the sK't ial moves of chess pieces.

It moves one square forward at a time except on the first move, when it can go one or two squares) but Is allowed to veer off on the diagonal to capture an enemy piece.

The knight has an eccentric gait. It can go left or right, moving in an L-shaped pattern. That is, it can go two squares up and one over, or one square over and two up, and it can jump over a piece in the process. The king can go one space in anv direction vertical, horizontal or i a 0 a 1. It therefore holds power over an eight-square field the two squares to either side of it.

In the weeks ahead there will be endless reams of chess news and analysis, much of it couched in incomprehensible jargon, accompanied by arcane diagrams. "Why don't you learn something about chess?" his boss suggested. The u'linitiate went straight to the dictionary.

Chess was defined as "a game of pure skill played on a chessboard with chessmen a game of ancient and obscure origin. probably imported into Europe in medieval times from the Orient." Having grasped as much of its origin as any man may know at a glance, he went next to the Marshall Chess Club, a cloister here, where lovers and slaves of chess bend over the boards in hushed absorption rursiin? what is to some a pam, to o'hers an addiction. What scan! Dloasure the novice taken in the nros-pect of learning about chess had been shriveled the night lefore when a chess-playing friend had told him. "chess is one of those games that, once you've learned how to play it, you know nothing." At the top of the stairs in the Marshall Chess Club, the novice met his tutor, Shelby Lyman, a chess master, a man of i 0 i stature, physically and intellectually, who gave up college teaching in sociology two years ago to devote full time to chess. Lyman, born in Brooklyn, N.Y., bred in Boston and cultivated at Harvard, has a foundation in psychology, anthropology and sociology, a solid bedrock from which to proceed to the higher art of chess.

Further, as more transplant operations and autopsies are done, the potential supply of cadavers declines.

An exception is the donation of corneas, which can be removed from the eyes for transplant purposes and the body can be used in anatomy laboratories. tomical Gift Act cards to will their bodies to medical science or their organs, such as corneas, to other people All the states have passed such an act, which provides a legal mechanism by which any person can carry an identification card signifying his desire to donate organs of his body for anatomical use.

But the steadily rising numbers have not yet offset the dwindling supply of unclaimed bodies the traditional source of anatomical material. Anatomists throughout the country said in interviews that schools are spending large sums to import from other states bodies that have been willed to medical science. The bodies are being shipped legally from the few schools in states like California and Wisconsin that have a small surplus. Anatomists in California attribute surpluses there to long-standing programs of public education on the need to will bodies and to the desire of many persons to do something constructive after death.
