For additional information, write to chess editor, Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
The Fort Worth Chess League will meet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Hilton Hotel. Please bring chess sets and boards. All interested chess players are invited to attend league meetings and see the entertainment advantages offered by organized competitive play.

This game was won by William Jarnagan from International Master William Lombardy in a 47-board simultaneous exhibition in Boston. Lombardy lost only two other games and those to rated masters.
