flThe VANCOUVER SUN: Mav 29. 1971 CHESS MATCH Blunder gives win to Fischer But Fischer's style, that of relentlessly seeking victory, is the foundation from which his "luck" springs. His opponents must play more vigorously themselves to even achieve a draw. In doing so, of course, they leave themselves open for errors. So Fischer needs only one-half a point more in this match, already one of the most incredible of the modern chess era.

When he gels it, or another win, probably Tuesday when the next game is scheduled for 4 p.m., he will advance in the elimination series to meet world champion Boris Spassky. There has been speculation that Taimanov will withdraw from the unequal contest with Fischer, but Soviet grandmaster Alexei Kotov, the Russian interpreter, denies this. "True sportsmen will play to the end, no matter what the odds," he said Friday. And what of a championship match between Spassky and Fischer? "There are many matches to be played before Fischer meets Boris Spassky." So Taimanov, surely depressed now but greeting each new game with boundless optimism, should play out Tuesday what is probably the final act of this little drama. He cannot escape being called a loser, which makes him something of a hero to many of those who have suffered along with him.

But losing to Fischer is like losing an argument with your wife it happens all the WHITE BLACK WHITE BLACK Taimanov Flsehpr Taimanov Fischer By BILL RAYNER There is a tragedy of sorts being played out these days on the stage of the Student Union Building theatre at the University of B.C. It is the haunting tale of a 45-year-old professional chess player being humiliated again and again by a younger, more talented man. For Soviet grandmaster Mark Taimanov, Friday was another disastrous episode in his 10-game world championship quarter -final match with U.S. grandmaster Bobby Fischer, 28. In just five moves and five minutes of play in the game adjourned from Thursday, Taimanov blundered and lost his fifth straight game.

At adjournment after the 41st move Thursday, Fischer seemed to hold a slight edge. He had an extra pawn and a more mobile queen. But when the game resumed Friday, Taimanov went briskly to the attack. He regained the pawn, exchanged bishops and attacked black's king. Then, forcing Fischer's queen to move to the king's file, he snatched another pawn.

It was a blunder of classic proportions, seen only rarely in international chess. With his king temporarily safe, Fischer deftly moved his queen one square to the queen's file, checking the white king and simultaneously attacking the rook. In chess parlance, this type of move is called a fork. It is among the first moves beginners are taught. So, with his rook lost and mate to follow shortly, Taimanov resigned.

Fischer did an aimless shuffle around the stage for a moment, then bounded through the theatre into the lobby. He was laughing. "Too many cooks spoil the broth," said Ed Edmondson, executive director of the U.S. Chess Federation, as Fischer joined him. Taimanov, who had to smile ruefully himself at the swift- ness of his downfall, went to join the three "cooks" the three Russian advisers.

The four of them sat there in the empty theatre for a long time. Just minutes before, outside the SUB, they had been analysing and -re-checking the tactics Taimanov would use. Fischer had gone for a walk, alone. Taimanov's head must have been stuffed so full of memorized variations and ideas force-fed him by his advisers during the adjournment that he couldn't think logically. Best bet is that the fatal move came by a transposition of the planned sequence.

"My gosh, I couldn't believe it," Fischer said later. "I saw the mistake and had to look twice." The talk now is of the Fischer luck, of his penchant for pouncing on errors large and small made by his opponents, of the trance whit comes over most of those who play him. Jim Ryan Photo yachts assembled in Victoria's Inner Harbor prior to start of races BEFORE THE STORM Publishers ask what next in B.C. battle of the bottle 20 witnesses set for Meteor probe IN ROUGH SEA 77 yachts quit races Sun Staff Reporter VICTORIA Eleven yachts were forced out of the annual Swiftsure and Juan de Fuca racing contests today because of high morning winds and an ebbing tide. Tony Burton, one of the controllers for the two races, said two yachts Molly Hogan and Sunbird lost their masts because of the 35-mile-per-hour winds.

Nine other boats were forced to retire from the contests because of various problems, including sea sickness among crewmen, he added. This year, 124 yachts entered the 132-mile Swiftsure race, a record entry. Another 67 smaller boats are competing in the Juan tie Fuca race to Clallam Bay on the Washington coast. Burton said the races began in a "confused sea" because of the wind and tide. The Swiftsure was to begin at 930 a.m.

and the smaller boats left on the Juan de Fuca leg 15 minutes later. The Canadian Coast Gurad has a cutter on the scene. Race organizers have also made provisions for a series of power boats along the routes. B.C. magazine publishers are waiting for the provincial government to clarify its ban on liquor and cigarette advertising before deciding whether to take their operations out of the province.

The legislation, which goes into effect Sept. was passed in March but publishers don't know what will be considered a B.C. or out-of-province publication. Those from outside the province will not be affected by the The publishers of three B.C. magazines said Thursday they must circumvent the ban if vthey are to survive, but they don't know what they will have to do to stay in business.

All said it will probably involve printing their' magazines in other provinces which could be a serious blow to local printing houses, Glen Hyatt, president of Ev-'ergreen Press which prints Time magazine and a number of B.C. publications, The 32 crew members died in a fire which broke out at about 3 a.m. May 22 when the Meteor was returning to Vancouver through Georgia Strait after an Alaskan cruise. Fifty-nine crew members survived the fire and about 70 passengers were taken off the Meteor by rescue vessels. It took about 26 hours to extinguish the fire.

The burned ship is now in dry dock in North Vancouver. Thompson said the resumed inquest will open at 10:30 a.m. Monday and will probably continue all day. He said a further adjournment is then likely. Separate investigations of the tragedy are being carried out by the federal transport department and a team from the Norwegian justice department.

"We're not only considering it, we've made a point of arranging for printers if it becomes necessary," he said. "Now we're waiting to find" out what we have to do to get around the ban." The situation is similar with the B.C.

Outdoors Magazine and The Northwest Sportsman, which prints its 10,000 run and the 7,000 run of its Alberta publication here. "If it means keeping liquor ads we'll have to move somewhere else," said Outdoors editor Art Downs. "But we can't make any decisions until the regulations themselves have been announced." Downs has written Attorney-General Leslie Peterson for clarification of the regulations and hopes for an early reply because the July-August issue, the last open to liquor advertising, is being prepared. Western Sportsman editor Jim Railton says: "We can't exist without the liquor ads. We've been talking to printers in Calgary and Lethbridge but we can't make any decisions until we see the ground rules." The problem centres on what will be considered a B.C.

publication. The original amendments to the liquor act, and a special act governing cigarettes, forbade all liquor and cigarette ads in all media. But Peterson later said this would be "refined" to allow out-of-province publications with liquor and cigarette ads to be distributed in B.C. Publishers are unsure whether 'mailing from outside" B.C., while operating and printing within the province would meet the requirement. Another alternative could be to print and mail from outside the province while making up and conducting other business here.

Publishers say the magazines can be moved out of the province and still serve B.C. readers, but it will mean increased costs and lost revenue for B.C. workers who would handle facets of publication and distribution. Grundle suggests another way around the ban would be for liquor companies to print ads omitting mention of "It could be done if the liquor people want to do us a favor. There is no ban, as far as I know, on liquor companies advertising themselves as corporations which people would recognise," he said.

Grundle said his magazine, if it moves, probably will go to Montreal, where lenient liquor advertising policies are attractive to advertisers. He said restrictions in Alberta, which ban showing a bottle, mean liquor companies must produce special ads. The publishers are angry because they say the ban will cause hardship for local publications, which sell about a million copies annually, while exempting outside magazines, which sell 31 million copies annually in B.C. said magazine printers are anxious to see how the regulations will be applied. "I don't think anybody will know what to do until the reg-.

ulations are spelled out," he-said. Jim Schatz, publisher of the Langley Advance and president of the B.C. Weekly Newspaper Association, said weekly publishers also are wondering about the possibilities of package printing outside the province to obtain national classification. It is a question of feasibility for weeklies concerned with their local news. "There are ways to get around the ban whereby the law will achieve nothing," said Jack Grundle of the Western Fish and Game.

"But the printers and the paper suppliers are going to suffer in any case." He said his bi-monthly magazine is considering moving to' from Trail that the union accepted the good faith of the hospitals by deferring strike action in Trail. But that didn't settle the issue of meal-time pay on afternoon and night shifts at Trail and 11 other Kootenay hospitals. Linklater had advised McCready in an earlier telegram that these hospitals were advised to sign "the correct version of the agreement," meaning no pay for meal breaks, unless an employee is on call. The association insists the union gave up this claim during last year's negotiations in return for the shorter work week now in effect. The dispute doesn't exist at other B.C.

hospitals, where the union never had the meal time counted as part of the work shift, McCready explained. bomb 'kooks' flight would explode as the airliner descended to a certain altitude while landing. A pressure bomb is designed to explode as air pressure increases closer to earth. A subsequent telephone call, apparently from the same man, admitted the threat was a hoax. Last August in Anchorage, Alaska, Western paid $25,000 to an extortionist who said a bomb was on a plane carrying 126 persons from Anchorage to Seattle.

The money was recovered and one man was arrested. In the movie, a plane landed safely at Denvor because the high altitude of the mountain city would not cause a pressure bomb to explode.
