UNITED STATES CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP TOIRNAMENT Dates for the men and women's national chess championship tournaments, held every two years, and lists of seeded players In both divisions were decided upon at the first meeting of the tournament committee of the newly organized United States Chess Federation at the Hotel Ala-mac In New York, with L. Walter Slephens, one of the vice-presidents of the national body and chairman of the committee, presiding. He presented an outline of procedure based in a large measure on the very complete report of the late Silas W. Howland.
who directed the Inst congress at Rockefeller Center in New York two years ago. After due discussion, the program was adopted. Samuel Reshevsky, victor In 1938 and again successful In 1938. will be among the competitors in the men's section, while Miss N. May Karff of Boston will endeavor to defend her title against all comers tn the women's class.
Of immediate Interest ire the preliminary open tournaments In which those of the experts who are not seeded will be expected to take part and qualify for places In the finals. In 19.18. 30 competed in three sections at the Manhattan. Marshall and West Side Chess clubs In New York. Sixteen played In the finals.
Play (n the finals of both divisions will start at' 2 o'clock Saturday. April 27. The men's preliminaries will begin on April 14. Entries may be sent to 'L. Walter Stephens, Hotel Aiamac.
Broadway and 71st St., New York. The place has not yet been selected but may possibly be the Hotel Astor, Times Square. New York. , An earlier start must be made In the women's preliminaries, the participants in which will not be required to play every day. as In the men's.
It Is likely that the schedule will call for two or three games a week. Mrs. Frank J. Marshall. 23 W. 10th St.. New York, will be in full charge of all arramements and will receive entries for the preliminaries. Play In which will start at the Marshall Chess Club on March 31. The entry fees for the men's preliminaries will be $10, and an additional $10 for all who qualify for the finals. For (he women, who will play for cups and other priws, the charge will be 12 for the pre- and (3 additional tor those liminaries quNiying. There will be five prires for the men's championship agareeating minimum of itlOOO. Depending upon the receipts, this mar be increased to a maximum of 81500.

P-OSi 7. O-O, Kt-B: produce the position shown in Diagram 5.
Black's development is not much to talk about. A player who grabs the two pawns at such dangerous detriment to the development of his pieces must have some plan of campaign prepared against the certain counterattack to follow; Black's last move reveals that he has no such plan. Of course, he would have a fine game If permitted to carry on unhindered with 8. . . . B-K2 and 9. . . . O-O, but White, if he Is alive to the situation, gives him no such chance. There are several different attacking lines available: 8 Kt-Kt5 looks good: Black cannot ade quately protect his KBP. lor 8. . . . Kt-K4? Is defeated by 9. BxKt. PxB; 10 QxQch. KxQ: 11. KtxPch winning the rook. 8. Kt-Kt5 Is actually very strong, but the answer 8. . . . B-K3 leads to some freeing of Black s game. After capturing twice on his K6. White has to lose a move since . . . Q-K2 attacks a now unsupported piece, and this critically slows down the attack, delaying the entry of the white rooks. More in the spirit of the position Is the break-through by 8. P-K5, which smashes open the position completely and brings all kinds of combinational possibilities Into action, eg., KtxPT 9. KtxKt.
PxKti 10. BxPch! winning the bl.tck queen (for it 10. . . . K-hii 11. B-Rirh.) Examining the alternative reply to 8. P-K5: PxPi we find that 9. Q-KU Is apparently White's best continuation. 9. . . . B-K3 Is now very doubtful, tor White proceeds to smash up Black's pawn position by 10. BxB, PxB; 11. QxKtP and retains a r-'nnlng attack. Black Is left only with 9. . . . Q-Q2 or 9. . . . Q-K2 and brief Investigation dismisses both of these as Inadequate, e g.. 9. . . . Q-Qii 10. Kt-KtA, KtQll 11. BxKP (simplest, threatening, among other things. BxKt, followed by R-Klcli.l B-Q:ti 12. BxB, PxBi 13. KtxBP, KtxKti 14. B-Kt5 winning the queen. (Observe that it Is better to postpone attacking the black queen by R-Ul, since Blark at once replies 11. . . . B-Q3 and is ready to castle.) Or. 9. . . . Q-K2I 10. Kt-KtX, Kt-QI. 11 B-RS. Q-Qil 12. R-Ql (now. Black having wasted a move by . . Q-K2. followed by.. . . -Q2. this attack'ls decisive.) B-Q.tt 13. BxB. PxBi 14. KtxBP and wins, since 15. B-K15 is again threatened. This example Illustrated well the effect of opening up files directed toward an uncastled king. Black could, of course, move the knieht attacked by 8. P-K5.
but 9. R-Kl would then decide. The position In Diagram S arose from the Giuoco Piano: 1. F-K4. F-K4; 2. Kt-KB.1. Kt-QR:; J. B-B4. B-B4i 4. P-B:t. Kt-B.tt 5. F-Ot, PxPi 6 PxP. B-KtSeh! 7. KI-B3, KtxKP; 8. O-O. KtxKti 9. PxKt. BxPi 10. Q-KU, P-Q4; 11. QxB, PxBi 12. B-R3. ' DIAGRAM 6 A bishop hinders Black's eastling, king's side, bat his king can reach safety an the ether aide. A bishop preventing castling It Is a well-known theme. Such a bishop often provides the wherewithal for decisive combinations. Could the black king be held in the center all would be well: but White has left something out of his calculations.
Black plays 12. . . . Q-Q4! and now White Is unable to prevent 13. . . . B-K3 followed by 14 ... O-O-O.
Whenever embarking on a combination which deperds on Interference with your opponent's castling, it U naturally essential to Insure that he cannot get out of danger by either castling on the other aide or perhaps playing . . P-KB3 and . , . K-K B'' Black could not play 12.
. . . B-K3? or 12. . . . Kt-K2? in Diagram 6 because White would then have the opportunity vhlte would then have tne opportunity f a decisive advance P-Q5: eg.. 12. . . . 1-K3? 13. P-Q5! OxP; 14. QR-Q1! (Very mportant, prevent;ng Black's castling on he queen's side, too.) 14. . . . Queen B impo the anywhere; 15. OxKtP and wins After 1 . . .

White seems to have a slight positional advantage. But both players are accurate and this advantage Is gradually neutralized and a draw Is agreed upon, when simplifications have left a restricted force and no winning opportunities.

Ing a different defense. The game proceeds more or less normally until Keres' 10th and 11th moves, which represent an Ill-advised attempt to crawl out of the Ruy Lopeg bind The result Is that on his l4ih Keres prefers to lose a P In the hope of getting counterplay The alternative Is a tied-up position with nothing but difficult defense In view. But Keres never gets his counterplay. Instead. Euwe builds a strong K-slde attack and never needs his extra P.

Ing a different defense. The game proceeds more or less normally until Keres' 10th and 11th moves, which represent an Ill-advised attempt to crawl out of the Ruy Lopeg bind The result Is that on his l4ih Keres prefers to lose a P In the hope of getting counterplay The alternative Is a tied-up position with nothing but difficult defense In view. But Keres never gets his counterplay. Instead. Euwe builds a strong K-slde attack and never needs his extra P.
