It works this way: You' make an appointment wuh him through Simon and Schuster, the publishers of Bobbys Games of Chess. You arrive at the appointed time, andS minutes later an editor comes in and sets up a Chess board. This one has a very interesting middle game, the editor says, beginning to play chess with himself. Bobby would find this one quite challenging.

The editor, who admits readily he will never be as good at chess as Bobby, soon gets into real jeopardy with himself. But just at the crucial moment 85 min-tes late the young champion gangles into the room, assays the game, and wins handily. Away from the chessboard, Bobby is quite liberal and does not care that you are there, or who you are, or what you want. But you can tell that deep down he is in desperate need of reassurance 15 or 20 lashes of it. by is a typical American l6- ear-old kid with typical teen aged reeds and typical porridge crumbs on his typical sweater It is only by Providence that he happens to be the U.S.

Chess Champion, and the youngest International Grandmaster of chess of all time. Well, you can imagine what it is to be a teen-ager, when life's uncertainties begin loom over you, and find yourself matching strategy against men two -and three times your age and beat ing them at it. In thFTirst place, it's a terrible -strain on a typical gangling kid. One false move and you can knock all those litUe chess pieces on the floor.

At one time or another, almost everybody has tried.

But invariably, the formula has been wrong And it would stagger your mind to total up the number of newsman-hours lost over chess games with people guaranteed to be Bobby's best friend; they see each other every afternoon. But who knows? a magazine reporter shrugged at me You may be the lucky one. I came pretty close myself. I had an appointment to meet him at a big INSURANCE The example, the Pans Exposition last year. But he turned them down with a flimsy excuse that there wasn't enough money in it for him.

South America has tried, too. And while they actually got him down there, it was all they could do to keep him feeling secure and not afraid that he would be done out of his prue money. On his return, one of New York's most venerable ebes elubs held a reception for him. But even they had missed the combination, to his secret heart. He did not show up.

Aside from Playhouse 90, there wai only one other stickout event of the season NBC-TV'f An Evening with Fred Astaire. It was a stunner. The best acting job of the season was pitched by John Gielgud in CBS-TV'a The Browning Version with Lee Cobb a wisp be-hind for Project Immortality.

Among the girls I'd have to go with Gerry Page for "The Old Man or Julie Hams in Johnny Belinda Close behind Siobhan McKenna, Piper Laurie, Maria Schell I'd also like to ring in Tammy Grimes for her delightful capering in NBC-TV's Omnibus Forty Five Minutes from Rroad-w ay."
