L.A. Times Problem No. 392 from the international two-mover tourney of the Budapest Chess Club, 1933. Fifth and sixth prize by L. Schor. White mates in two.
FEN 3Q4/r3p3/p7/3NkP1R/r7/1Pp2q2/p3N1B1/K3R3 w - - 0 1
Key: Q-N6/Qb6
Only one person failed to solve this problem. His answer, N-B4ch, would be answered by K-Q5, and there is no possible mate.

L.A. Times Problem No. 393 by Percy Bowater, Pasadena. White mates in three.
FEN 1b6/1K6/N3p3/1N1kp3/P1q3Q1/8/B1Pn4/8 w - - 0 1
Key: Q-R4!/Qh4
Quite a lot of solvers were fooled by a very strong try. Q-K2, but the answer to that is B-R2! This strong move defeats all possibilities of mating in three moves.

In Game No. 1 the given move has been entirely different than the theory advised. I shall therefore publish a few games on this opening which have been played in some of the international tournaments in which I have participated.
Played in Stubnyansky Teplice (Czechoslovakia, 1930).

Crystal Ball No. 2
A couple of months ago, I reported here on the early results of a survey I had made among Grandmasters and others of distinction in the chess world. The question was: If the World Championship Match takes place, who will win, Boris Spassky or Robert Fischer?
The first predictions in were very heavily pro-Fischer. But, then, most of those questioned were from the West. Now other returns are in for a match that should have started by the time you read this. Outside the homeland of the World Champion, Fischer still appears to be the favorite.

Vlastimil Hort, Czechoslovakia: It will be a very interesting match, with Fischer having a slight edge. Score 12½-11½ for Fischer.

David Bronstein, USSR: Pity they didn't play the match in 1975 when draws will not count. It would have been a gigantic battle then; now the challenger is in a better position.

Aleksandr Kotov, USSR: I think the better man will win. With good preparations, Spassky should take it. Fischer's opponents so far have lost because they did not prepare themselves well against him theoretically and physically.

Vladas Mikenas, USSR: It will be a tremendous fight. The World Champion will remain World Champion.

Andre Lilienthal, USSR: Spassky.

Evgenij Vasukov, USSR: The interest for this match is bigger than for any match ever played in the history of chess. For over two decades it's been an all-Russian event. The challenger always has the advantage and has public support. I know for sure who will win, but it is my secret!

Vasily Smyslov, USSR: It is their business. I already had three matches for the World Championship, and that's enough.

Igor Bondarevsky, USSR: As an ex-second to Boris Spassky I can only say that it will be an interesting and difficult match.

Laszlo Szabo, Hungary: Robert Fischer is the best tournament player. We shall see who is the best match player, he or Spassky.

Hein Donner, Holland: Of course Fischer will win.

Florin Gheorgiu, Romania: It will be a great match if Spassky plays in his best form. This means that Fischer has better chances.

Salo Flohr, USSR: In spite of the great qualities of Fischer as a player, I did bet on Petrosian to beat Bobby in Buenos Aires. I lost 50 Rubles. But I will get many money back with ease this time. I am betting on Spassky.

Fridrich Olafsson, Iceland: I have always thought that Spassky is the better. I still think so.

Ivan Schankovic, USSR: I believe Spassky will not make the mistakes made by Taimanov. Larsen or Petrosian. He should win this exciting match.

Robert Byrne, USA: I believe Fischer will win in 21 games played. The score: 12½-8½. He will remain Champion of the World for the next 15 years.

Svetozar Gligoric, Yugoslavia: I now think the chances are even. For a while there were rumors that I would be Fischer's second. There's nothing in that.

Tigran Petrosian, former World Champion, USSR: If Spassky plays as he did in 1969, he will beat Fischer easily. Fischer has never won against Spassky, and that is a great advantage for Spassky. There is an old Russian proverb that applies here. It goes: “Do not trouble the head.”

The person who, as of this writing, appears the most certain of the outcome is, as you might well suspect, Robert Fischer. His faith in himself is absolute.

NEW YORK—THE DAKE-FINE MATCH
The second game was won by Dake, who adopted an English opening, winning a Pawn on his fourteenth turn. Later, on move thirty, he won his opponent's Queen for a Rook and Bishop.
The third game of the Dake-Fine match was drawn, but Dake won the fourth game in brilliant fashion. Fine tried very hard to win the fifth game. He had the White side of an English opening and gave up his Queen for two Rooks. This advantage, however, did not prove sufficient, and Dake was able to draw after fifty-four moves.
The sixth game of the Dake-Fine match ended in a win for Fine, who thus drew up level with Dark, each having scored three points.

Key: QxP/Qxf3
To those who sent in the following solutions, I shall give the answers to their moves. RxP(R5)—QxB, Q-B2—NxN. P-B6—PxP. K-R3—N-B5ch.
We have received a few letters of criticism about Problem 376. Most of them refer to the capturing key move. The former editor was prejudiced against this particular type of problem, as I discovered in reading the following excerpt from a letter, quoting a statement made by the editor: “A problem with a checking or capturing key move is very undesirable. In rare cases a certain idea cannot be shown with anything but a checking or capturing key. Nevertheless, we never expect to run any problem in this column with either kind of key mentioned.” We do not want to go into any unnecessary argument, and so we shall discuss the issue logically.
In the first place, in a problem we should not overlook any possibilities that would lead to a mate. Therefore, a problem is not solved before we know that there is no other solution. Let us say that if we have these set rules that we mate in capture, or start in with checks, we are analyzing the whole composition. Say that we have a mate in two on hand, all set up for mate except the key move, which is a waiting move. This type of problem we would easily solve, because we could readily see which key move would not change the position in any way. In modern problem composition, in the case of two-moves, these set up positions are just for the eyes, or mostly to lead the solvers astray; in other words, the key move controls the situation entirely. Sometimes this cannot be done in any other way than by a capturing key move. Such compositions are the difficult ones; and can you blame the composers for trying to keep the two-movers alive?
I hope that this explanation will keep peace between the writer and the solvers, at least for the present, or until another occasion arrives.
A “cook” is more than one solution to a problem.
