Pawn Pusher by O.A. HOLT WILLMAR, MINN.
1943! A new and fighting year! Let us start the new cycle with a brief editorial dedicated to the artists, masters, experts, and just plain players, responsible for the technical portion, which, let us emphasize, is the heart and soul of the column. It is prompted by the return of the problem arena of perhaps the greatest composer of 3ers the northwest has ever produced.
Mr. O. Aarhus of St. Paul. The technical portion In fine print below. Is but a Jlllllblr of IIU-mnllKless uivs, aymljuls, and rliaracteis, lo Hie casual reader or lion-plavur. Tin Is nutiual. Urn- cannot appreciate what one Hoes Hot understand.
Jlow then, can there be nnv fascination or Interest lo the technical sanies, problems, and eudlnas, depleted fioui the chess and checker board? That Is a popular question. One answer: If the most fascinating or Interesting Hovel you have read had been printed In .Hebrew, or some language you old not uncleislanil, It naturally would have carried no lulere.it or fasetnaMon. The name applies to the chess and checker laiieuate. Various phases of either earne (chess or cnecaersi nave a upeoiai interest or fascination depending upon a particular Individual's taste or talent. Game ate classified into openings, mid-game, and endings.
They are played over-the-board, by mail, telephone, telegraph, radio, or blindfold. The type of play varies in Social, tournament, match, and exhibition pauies. Neutrally, they are comparable to miniature war, featuring attack, defense, and strategy. Problems (chess and checker poetrv) feature heuutv and artistry hi a huge a'r-r:iy of thematic art. They are comparable to a symphony or opera.
Kmliuts ( Knd (JalneK) are aiiolller separate phase where Mr. W. O. Nulling can turuifli the superlatives. The Pawn Pusher nenrts thanks and well wishes to the many Individuals responsible for a high standard of technical sustenance, included in our feature.
by Joe looms (Kt-kROj Cook!: Kd6ch (R-KBch). Many solvers thought this a fins problem even with the cook. Your operative thought a lot or this work and was perhaps as fllsappointrrl as Joe to si-e it suffer the III fale of having to , be foasted. .gcttctt luck next time, Joe. O. Aarhus!! To those who know tills name In problem composition, no introduction Is needed. To those who are not la-uilllar Willi his Mollis, well , . . uu will see a goou specimen ueiow, Today's 3,-r was sent your operative as a Christmas gift.
1 am glad to share It. i Why? it really starts l'JU otf with a! Uaiig! Note the main theme of the problem I will not call II by name, tor it might give away the key. but note also how the dt-tense of the Bl h on a.'i adds another major theme, a fine ttrim.shaw! Aarhus writes: "I am glad to see that you now have so many tine composers in your territory. The Christ maa lier Is a blend uf themes, a modern feature uf tlirinatic problems." Aarhus was given a good "Send-off" In tile rdltorhil above, but a deserved one.
Think i. could write pages on this modest genius. Well do 1 remember his baptism intu the composing tield and his meteoric rise thet'ealter. One of his 3ers had tlie whole of Canada slumped, and tins was alter they hail the key move!! Couldn't believe It. could you? Aarhus' chief cimracleristlcs in the composing field are originality, difficully, depth, beauty, artistry, cleanness strategy, of which the first two are predominant.
