Shelby LymanOn chessBEGINNER’S CORNER: Hint and Explanation: Stop the pawn that would stop themate.Grandmaster Oleg Romanishin, age 23 is the “new chess threat7’ from the Soviet Union. Commenting on his second-place finish in the 1975 USSR Championship, the noted writer Michael Yudovich said: “Ro-manishin’s games were so interesting, original and elegant that the young chess player won the audience completely. He outplayed the winner of the tournament (Tigran Petrosian) as well as the recent challengers for the World Crown, Yefim Geller and Lev Polugayevsky. As for Michael Tal. the former world champion managed to save the game by a miracle.”In February of this year an unnamed Soviet chess journalist, referring to Ro-SOLVE-ITAFTER 38.R H1TAIMANOVmanishin’s “depth and originality.” said: “The fine discernment of the numerous nuances of the position enable him to discover untrite solutions that frequently put even the most experienced rivals of his into a quandry.”His most recent triumph was his first place tie with Tal in the Leningrad tourney celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. Tal. himself, astutely analyzed: “But all of Oleg’s games in the second half of the tournament without exception were reminiscent of most interesting performances. At times objectivity and cautiousness failed him, but this was compensated by the amazing effectiveness of liis attacks. It seems to me that Romanishin'ssuccess is evidence of the fact that the Soviet Union has now one more grandmaster of extra-class.”* * * *In the game from the Capablanca Memorial Tournament in Cuba.
