The name of the game for the spectators, of course, was to try and rationalize and predict the moves of each player. Many spectators sat in groups of four and five around a chess board, whispering to each other. It was quite evident that some of the viewers were experiencing the same emotional anxieties as the players. A U.S. university recently measured the energy expended by chess players during competition and found that it was as much as a boxer in a 15-round bout.

The effect on the players, however, wasn't noticeable. The Russian grandmaster, a short, slightly paunchy man of 46, was partial to pacing across the stage after each move when the going became rough, whereas the 28-year-old American seldom left his chair his form of reassurance apparently came from rhythmic body rocking. The tell-tale signs became evident as the game progressed. On at least two occasions, Taimanov put his hand out to move a piece, only to stop and ponder the problem some more. Only in the latter stages of the game, when the moves had slowed to one in 10 to IS minutes, did the audience become restless.

The writing was on the wall for Taimanov and nearly everyone knew it. The question now was when he would resign. Now was also the time for those that had correctly predicted the errors as they occurred to remind their neighbors of it. here was no element of surprise or anticipation any more and the crowd thinned noticeably. "But while is only down one pawn.

Surely that isn't aU that bad, is it?" someone asked a companion. "Believe me, white is dead, but it would take a book or two to explain just why he's dead." Tlie two players smiled and shook hands across the competition table. The match was under way. Thousands of years of chess expertise was being followed as the players raced through the first dozen moves. Pictures and patterns of thousands of games were being unconsciously examined for clues to the game before them now.

Nearly 250 persons were scattered about the Student Union Building auditorium at the University of B.C. They sat studiously for nearly five hours, seldom moving in their seats, eyes glued to the stage where the action was taking place. Had it been possible to harness the combined energy expended in the thought in tlfat room, the possibilities are almost limitless. Yet the physical action only amounted to moving lightweight chess pieces about the board and the occasional short walk each of the two players took on the carpeted stage during the course of the game. "You came to watch two men sit at a table for five hours?" a middle-aged woman whispered incredulously to the man sitting beside her.

"Shhh. Let me concentrate," he replied irritably. The setting was the opening game in the world championship elimination match between Mark (Taimanov. and Bobby Fischer. The auditorium had purposely been darkened so that the players on stage could not clearly see the spectators.

Only the two players, a timekeeper and another official, whose job it was to duplicate progress of the game on a demonstration board hanging at the back of the stage, were in view of the spectators. Noise apparently distracts Fischer. The spectators must all have been WHITE White moves Solutions to the puzzle above should be sent to Chess Contest, The Province, Vancouver 9.

He recently said that anyone who would get through the title eliminations would have to go through Fischer. An example of his skill is the following English Opening where the former world champion, Vasily Smyslov, was White.

The 46-year-old Taimanov is an inter-national grandmaster who played for the U.S.S.R. in the world Students' Team Championship of 1955, the Chess Olympiad of 1956, the European Team Championships and in matches against Argentina, the U.S. and Britain. A leading theoretician, Taimanov has introduced a number of ideas in many opening patterns currently in vogue.

He is also a concert pianist and stud- A motorcycle fire department? Yep I Motorcycle fire engines have gone into-service in an effort to beat the traffic in Paris, France. Officials explained that in dense central Paris, where the streets are narrow, full-size fire engines and ambulances often are delayed.

TAIMANOV tive. After a slow improvement during the course of the game, he executed a damaging foray with 33 and White no longer could squirm. Bobby Fischer was born Robert James Fischer on March 9, 1943. Ha learned to play chess when he was six, and when he was 13 he was the youngest player to win the U.S. Junior Championship.

Fischer has added victory to victory from then on. In an interview with journalist Ralph Ginsburg, Fischer described the Soviet paladins Botvinnik and Tal, both former world champions, Kercs and Smyslov as "Russian patzers" whom he would put in their place, according to the Encyclopedia of Chess. At the time, he was a controversial figure, charging his Soviet opponents with pre-arranging drawn games and with consulting during play. In the last Interzonal, the start of the elimination series to which the current match is related, Fischer let it be known that he is not interested in drawing any game with the Russians. He refused all offers of a draw and finally wound up with a score of 3V4-V4 against Yefim Gcller, Taimanov, Lev Polugay-evsky and Vasily Smyslov.

At left, in his game with the Yugoslav master Mario Bertok, Fischer as Black finds flaws in many sequences. When he drives the adverse knight with 21 P-N4, White determines on the futility of defence and parts with a piece, rather than commit a bungling mess. But, with a piece minus, hope Is gone.
