The ultra-performance may have been U.S. Champion Walter Browe’s effort in Adelaide, Australia in 1968. He polished off 29 opponents in 45 minutes, without a loss or draw!I asked Walter how he did it. His answer: “Just feeling good that day.”The most prestigious simultaneousexhibition ever held in the U.S. occurred in New York City at the 7th Regiment Armoryon Feb. 12,1931. Two hundred players (four ata board) took on the former World ChampionJose Capablanca in front of 2,500 spectators.The governor of the state and other * dignitaries addressed the throng. And a regimental band started things off with a “rendering” of the Star-Spangled Banner.* * *BEGINNER S CORNER — hint and explanation: The lineup of the white king and queen on the same diagonal is the clue.* * ♦University of California’s Diane Savereide is the most outstanding talent in women’s, chess since Gisella Gresser and Lisa Lane were playing at “master” strength in the late ’50s and early ’60s.According to organizer and chess master Bill Goichberg: “Diane . . . will be rated a Master within the next year and a half. She needs more tournament experience against strong players, but she has a great deal of basic talent.”In SOLVE-IT is a moment from the game Fritzvold-Savereide in the 1976 U.S. Open Championship.It seems that black must retreat her knight to Q6, allowing white to gain materialequality with 20.RxP.But Diane found 19 . . . B-Q6! After 20 R(l)xN BxR; 22RxB QR-Bl; white was in a deadly pin. Savereide won material and thegame.Frits void1. P-KB42. N-KB33. P-Q34. P-KN35. B-N26. 0-07. P-QB48. N-B39. PxP10. B-K311. BxP12.
