EVANS ON CHESS
R. Moore, U.S.A.
Problem: (05/13/1972) White mates in two.
Stockfish Analysis.
Believe It Or Not!
LONDON (UP) — A chess set landed an antiques dealer, Trevor Stowe, in court for an indecent exhibition. Police Sgt. David Fox issued a summons to Mr. Stowe after seeing the set outside his shop. Each of the 32 pieces showed couples in sexual positions.
At Marylebone Court, Mr. Stowe was fined $84 with $48 costs. He later told newsmen: “When you look at this against the background of dirty book-shops, strip clubs and dirty films, this set is something to be laughed at — not something to be considered indecent.”
PITTSBURGH (UP) — Warden Joseph Brierley disclosed a second prisoner failed to return to Western Penitentiary from a chess match at Carnegie-Mellon University. The prison chess team “The Wall Knights” lost its second member when Verla G. Conrad, 40, serving 3 to 10 years for armed robbery, moved unobserved to an exit at the university's Skibo Hall after playing a match Sunday. The previous week, prisoner David Moran, serving 2 to 4 years for receiving stolen goods, made a similar move following a tournament at Carnegie-Mellon and is still at large. “I'm afraid we won't be invited back to the university if this keeps up,” said the warden. “The officials out there are upset over all the publicity.”
JILL ST. JOHN (interviewed in Family Weekly): “Henry Kissinger is really my best male friend. He's a brilliant, thoughtful man and I also enjoy playing chess with him. I am really getting pretty good at it. For some reason, however, when I play chess with Henry, I am not as aggressive as when I play chess with Sean Connery. When I won my first game with Sean, I spent a fortune calling all my friends in the States to tell them about it! After all, a girl wants to be admired for some of her accomplishments, not just her looks.”
PROBLEM SOLUTION: 1 Q-QB3! (if 1 … K-B3ch 2 N/4-B5 mate).
