Lisa Lane Chess Champion Builds On Breakthrough
U S Women's Chess Champion Lisa Lane, 23, defies stereotypes as she studies, plays, and promotes chess for women. The Philadelphia native rose from a Temple University freshman to national queen in 1959, with hopes for international challengers and a potential match against Yugoslav champion Milanka Lazarevich, though funding remains tight. The 1,000 grant and part time editor role aid her focus as she tours clubs and schools, teaching concentration and visualization in the game.
