T IllS issile we ]et our i(,l1l'1Lcd editor take n bow with two of his more recent v('nltlr('~ ill the field of cndgnlnc s tudies. No. 2UU represents

a rather simple idea, based on the threat of a Knight fork, which rescues White from the menace of oblivion. It is obvious that Black must be prevented fl'olll playing his Queen to 86 and B8.

No. 210 is slightly more elaborate in structure anti design. Not only docs Black thre:lten to queen the l'awn, but his Queen menaces a se ries of checks whieh could easily result in male. ,

For solutions, please turn to POl"e four. -=------SI-II<!::V!:: PORT CHAr-..~PIONSHIP

What's The Score In Chess Columns? A Question No One Can Answer Now

by WILLIAM BOJAM ShIff Writer

SUIll(' Y('tII"S :lgo wheu oll r I~ ditnr \\':lS :lsked how !llillly ~ lles.~ colilmns ul"e lluulishct! ill lIle USA ulld L'ulwdll. he Ilwrely WHite to GClle Collett of Pittshurgh and harl the correct answer by return mail. Bu t since the genial Gene has resigned his post as unofficial historiun uf ehes~ columns. no one now knows the answer, for a list two years old is not a lis t , so frequently do chess columns come and , go.

The writer has a Jist of some th irly·two chess columns, including such well cstablish{'rl fe:lllll"eS as Rohb's Clcvelnnd PJf\in Dcaler, Bige· loW'S New York Post, Chevalier's Christiun Science Monitor, Sim's Toronto 'l'rileg-ram, Ld)uin's Montreal Gazette, and the grand·daddy of them aU-Hehns' Rrooklyn Eagle. r

But doc~ the L.ouisviJIe COllricr·JOlll'nnl st ill puhlish J>owden's column, does Aufbau have Birnbaum's column, docs Holl still Hourish in the Minneapolis Slar·Journal?

And where have new chess colUlnus bJossome{1 in formerly barren fields. Is JtaLston's page ill Argonaut the only recent triumph of chess :lS the prinled word?

On Ulp.se and many other questioll.~ , the writer admits to curiosily. So he nsks the rcader of these Jines to COopcl':lte in m:lking a complete survey of chess publiC<llions in the USA and Canada. Send to William Rojam, % Chess Life, 123 No. Humphrey a clipping of the chess column in your own new~paper or wcekly magaline, giving: the IImne of the pnhli(:atiotl, fre quency of issue, and llanle of the chcss editor. With your cooperation CHESS LWJ~ will compile a complete listing of all available chess columns in the USA and Canada.
