JSC, HIE PROVINCE, Friday, May 14, 1971 World Chess Tournament Opposites clash in chess thriller smiled and replied by moving four pieces at once, then both players began randomly pushing pieces about like school boys. The ice had been broken and the photographers were having a field day. The first question directed at Fischer destroyed the scene. Both he and Taimanov was adamant in their opposition to the room. The Soviets wanted a large theatrelike hall for the competition, the Americans objected to outside noise and lighting.

Visions of the Berlin wall crisis. Charges and countercharges began to fly. The Canadian Chess Federation representatives looked embarrassed and shocked as Canada was accused of being a bad host and poor choice for a match of such stature. The facilities had earlier been approved by the World Chess Federation and its president, Dr. Max Euwe of Holland, continued to insist that he saw nothing objectionable in them now.

Fischer, on whose insistance on quiet, indirectly lighted facilities and a ban on spectators the Graduate Centre TV room had been chosen, listened to the discussion briefly, thin snapped at his U.S. Chess Federation delegate, "I thought this had all beeii' done. Can we get out of here?" This was just the kind of response expected of the stubborn U.S. grand master. He has a history of controversy at tournaments.

His demands have won him few friends on the professional circuit. Dressed in a black suit and white shirt be looked every bit the silent, pouting introvert that he is professed to be. A biographer once said Fischer was the most lonely man he had ever en- countered. He is single and apparently has few friends. He grants no interviews to the press.

Only Fischer's game is well known to the public. He considers himself the best player in the world and demands to be treated accordingly. Conversely, he is recognized as one of the game's most brilliant tacticians. He concedes no quarter to an opponent and criticizes the game's acceptance of draws in competition. Taimanov, on the other hand, seems the complete opposite.

In his fashionable brown suit, he greeted everyone with openness and friendship. He talked of himself freely through an interpreter. Sometimes accused of reckless optimism in his game, he is nevertheless recognized as one of the best contemporary competitors. This is his second attempt in 18 years at the world title. Taimanov's life is divided by two careers.

He is also a professional pianist and says the two careers really complement each other. Besides if one ever failed, he would always have something else to fall back on. He is married and speaks of his life in terms of his family. He concedes that Fischer is one of the great chess players today, but insists that his age of 46 will not handicap him against the youthful Fischer. Taimanov would not comment on the controversy over the UBC facilities other than to say he would prefer to have spectators at hand "a room in which one can breathe." Controversy seems to be a way of life for chess professionals.

Theirs is a world of 64 squares that provides rewards seldom amounting to much much more than expense money for the individual competitors. CATS BEING CATS always an rlriiN'iit of Disney nut tiro world excitement at walehinj; a cat watch a tish in a Canadian content, maple leal-shaped pool. JAMES SPEARS Cats watch without getting wet Cats like our house. There are three black cats from across the street, one black cat with white paws two doors west, a tabby next door who's mean and old, and a young tabby from the other next door who's young and naive. By PAIL RUI.IST The undercurrent of tension in the room was unmistakable.

The four-man Russian delegation was huddled in one corner, shoulders shrugging and hands gesticulating to emphasize the discussion. In another corner the conversation was being conducted in German; one didn't need to understand the language to know how serious the discussion was. Only one man in the room was not involved in the talks. Robert Fischer, the 28-year-old American grandmaster was seated by himself at a competition table, absently toying with a chess piece. Someone announced that the press had arrived, talk halted and expressions change to strained smiles.

We had been invited to photograph and interview Fischer and Mark Taimanov of the Soviet Union on Wednesday, the day lie-fore the world chess championship quarter-final match between Fischer and Taimanov was to be played at the University of 's Graduate Centre. Taimanov was persuaded to sit opposite Fischer at the competition table; the chess board would make an interesting focal point for photographs. The two grandmasters looked at each other seriously, then Fischer moved his queen lo emulate, control of centre. Taimanov 'Arts orgy' in August Canadian Tress EDMONTON 'An orgy of the arts" is the way Dr. David Leighton, director of the Banff School of Fine Arts, describes a week-long Canadian arts festival to take place in Banff in August.

Dr. Leighton said he hopes the festival will mark the first of a series, with an "ultimate goal of achieving the kind of international status of a Stratford, Edinburgh of Salzburg." The festival, to be held from Aug. 15 lo 21, is unique in two respects, he said. Firstly, the presentations will be made by students and faculty of the Banff school. These are "first-rate talents" nd deserve to be presented to the world at large.

"Second, few, if any, festivals in the world cover such a wide variety of the arts." The festival will consist of afternoon and evening performances of drama, musical comedy, symphony, instrumental music, chamber music, ballet, lectures and films. As well, there will be displays and exhibitions of painting, photography, ceramics and weaving. The festival will undoubtedly draw a large portion of its audiences from the tremendous numbers of tourists that visit the Banff area, Dr. hcighton said. However, it is hoped the festival itself will be a drawing card, attracting those interested in the arts.

The main musical theatre presentation at the festival will be The Sound of Music, directed by Irene I'rothroc of Vancouver. The Banff Festival Orchestra, tinder conductor Brian Priestman, a former Kdmontonian and now music director and conductor for the Denver Symphony Orchestra, will perform on Aug. It! and 18. Baritone Bernard Turgeon of F.d-monton will he soloist on the first evening and Japanese cellist Tsuyoshi Tsut-siimi will be heard with the orchestra on Aug. 18.

The drama presentation will be Arthur Miller's All My Sons. All of them are loms, and they probably camp in our garden because we are the owners of the sole female neighborhood cat. Cats being cats, they only worry about sex infre Spccr's admission few JBirt.aBMiilil4iMiiiiiililf jump fences. Then there lire the mice. Before I lower real estate values, let me explain that they are slightly urban field mice attracted by gardeners' compost heaps.

Anyway, the cats make frequent visits to the compost heap. Unfortunately, I must report that bird feathers are also found in the neighborhood. But none of these things really attract the cats. Blame that on a Centennial project. No, not a British Columbia event, but a Confederation Centenniul project performed by the former resident of our house.

He built a tihiillow garden pool, approximately four fuel deep and five feet wide, in the shape of a maple leaf. You must get the entire picture. Imag-inc a long stem of a maple leaf, Willi stone and cement, he shaped the stem into a rivulet that theoretically drained the back garden, feeding the mki. VVp use a hose. We also put goldfish in after iIikcov-ering that mosquitoes liked to breed in the maple leaf.

At which point we rejoin the cjils. In the three years that goldfish have lived in the mi. ilr leaf, not oner have they Iwen harmed, or eaten. It's a nun linn of access. Cuts watch that xn.l fur hum at time, and return day after day.

But that's not the reason cats like our house. Environmentally our house and hack garden are tops. There's a southern shed with a flat roof, for one thing, that serves as a daytime dormitory. Dogs find it impossible in our neighborhood.

First, any intruders are instantly driven out by a herd of cats, but more important, dogs cannot decode the maze of high fences erected by seven decades of householders. Our neighborhood's cats are healthy because they conditions, Speer was sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment by the international military tribunal at Nuremberg in 1946. During his imprisonment he wrote more than pages of his "historical record" of the Nazi era which he worked into a book after his release in 1966. The book, published in the United States in August, touched off a fierce critical debate over the sincerity of Speer's repentance. Although some reviewers underscored his desire to "atone for his mistakes" and his freedom from "self-pity," others challenged his tendency to exonerate the German people "by putting the responsibility for Nazism on technology." In the interview, Speer offers his explanation of why, ai one of Hitler's top lieutenants, he tolerated the brutality of the Nazi regime he has since repudiated.

He says: "I stood at the pinnacle of power and I was intoxicated by the distant landscapes I taw while all the time a charnel house reeked at my feet. My own pride and ambition made me an accomplice in the extermination of millions of human beings." He was able to ignore the persecution of the Jews, he lays, "becauss they became abstraclioni to me, not human brings 1 did not hate them; I was indifferent to them." New York Times NEW YORK Albert Specr, whose mem rs, Inside the Third Reich, became a best-seller in many Western countries last year, says in a new interview he "cannot help feeling stirrings of pride" over his role in building the Nazi war machine. "This is my weakness a human weakness perhaps," the 66-year-old former Nazi leader says in a candid statement on his feelings for his achievements as Hitler's minister of armaments The interview, to be published in the June issue of Playboy, was conducted by Eric Norden, a senior writer for the magazine. 11 look place over a 10-day period at Speer's country home near Heidelberg. "Those were the days of my youth, and I achieved things which many people predicted were impossible, and I suppose my ego still lakes pleasure in those accomplishments.

"Then I think of all the cities destroyed, the soldiers killed, the Jews butchered between 1943 and 1945 and my pride turns into sickness. But I will not be a hypocrite and say the pride is not there."
