The Scottish champion Aitken is a sound and strong player but inclined to
stereotyped openings; he decides a certain line of play is best, then sticks
to it for years. Finding that he was addicted to 12.Qe1 in this variation, I
studied it for hours before the game and unearthed this involved continuation
which sets White all sorts of traps. If White now makes the obvious move 15.
Ne4, he gets a very poor game.} 15. Ne4 $2 dxe3 16. Nxf6+ exf6 17. Bd3 Bxb3 18.
axb3 Re8 {As Black, you expect a hard struggle for equality against any
opponent in the British championship. Here, after 18 moves, I was facing a
position I had already examined at least twice in the few hours before the
game; in which I was a pawn up (and a supported passed pawn on the sixth rank).
Because I had not needed to make any calculation at all, merely draw on memory,
I had not used up one minute of my precious time as yet, whereas my opponent
had taken more than an hour. In short, the game Is virtually won already as a
result of pre­liminary study. You don't know whether to be proud or ashamed
of such a game. If you can win only one game out of fifty in top-rank chess by
such means, how­ever, it is welcome.} 19. f5 Qd8 20. Ra4 Re5 21. Kh1 Qe7 22.

helpless in the pawn ending. Alexander was still indulging these pleasant
fancies when Morry moved. He moved with just the tiniest shrug of the

us ordinary mortals seemed so complicated. And he moved none of the things we
have discussed above with animal seriousness. He moved 22.Rad1}) {At first
Alexander also felt like shrugging his shoulders—surely there must be some
way out and the whole thing was just a straw fire. It just couldn’t be

difficult to foresee was a sort of chain reaction. There were no loose pieces
about when the whole thing started: but capturing the rook exposed the knight,
which (a) had to guard the queen and (b) was pinned against the rook. This
exposed the queen, and the exchange of queens caught the bishop in its toils.
And what happened then? Oh yes, I almost forgot. Morry played} 30. Bc6 $4 ({
Alexander took the Bishop and scored a 1 in the tournament table. Naturally,

Rxc6 {Next day, the charming wife of one of the competitors offered to buy
Morry a pair of glasses. "You'd better save up, lady, and make it a ruddy
telescope," was the reply. Meanwhile the philosophers are still discussing
whether it is better to make a magnificent combination and lose or be the
victim of a magnificent combination and win. (Heidenfeld, BCM, Oct. 1956, page
