Certainly a work for all ages and classifications.Chernev’s Russians Flay Chess — Suffice it to say that on the world rating list today, the majority of the players happen to be from the Soviet Union.What’s more, from the semi-finals of the world championship qualifying rounds, it has been an all-Russian affair. Obviously then it would pay to study the Russians’ games carefully. A fine liook, particularly for the more advanced chess player.Samuel fSeshevsky’s Best Games of Chess — Through the past few decades. Re-shevsky. a New Yorker, has been one of the few Western stars providing some competition for the Russian hierarchy. Although never a world champion, he’s always been near the top and his games should prove valuable to players of any calibre.I* e t e r Znosko-Borovsky's Art of Chess Combinations —Another fine study of the tactical-combinative side of chess and another valuable•Vwork for every player, but the youth in particular.All these books can be obtained by approaching your favorite book dealer on Vancouver Island, or directly by writing to: Dover Publications Inc., 180 Varick Street, New York, N.Y. 10014, U.S.□No matter who qualifies to meet Bobby Fischer of the U.S. for the world championship, I still can’t help but marvel at the play of Soviet Union's Boris Spassky*, whom Fischer dethroned fairly easily in their match not so long ago, and whom Anatoly Karpov beat in a recent match.Just look at the two games that follow.In one. Spassky meets Vladimir Tukmakov during the powerful Soviet championship that Spassky won late last year.In the well-known variation of the Sicilian, Spassky meets Tukmakov’s interesting 11... Q-N3 with an even more interesting piece sacrifice, which had to be calculated almost down to the end game. Of course if black plays 35 . . . QxP, then 36.

(AP) — Vital nutrients for the world’s hungry masses can be produced far faster by germs than by conventional plants and animals, a Japanese researcher says.Prof. Tokuya Harada of the University of Osaka said that under controlled conditions,yiifh niifrrt_nrtranicnietwo weeks, chickens two to lour weeks and cattle one to two months.Food factories using microorganisms would also be much more compact than farms.

Spassky meets Ernest Hug, the Swiss champion, during the recent European team tournament easily won by the Soviet Union.Playing against a tough setup by Hug, Spassky maintains a fluid position, then penetrates w’ith the timely 19 . . . P-B5. But this is just a start — the crowning touch comes with black’s 25 ... R-Q7! Hug might as well have resigned right there, but he dragged it out a few more moves. ,The European team tournament, incidentally, saw the Russians with four ex-world champions — Spassky, Vassily Smyslov, Michael Tal and Michael Botvinnik. With that lineup, the Russians finished 6'3 points ahead of second-place Yugoslavia.Why arpeople clWindsor
