——Bob Johnson _ uunacs niDCMtlO! EXHIBITION GAMES_An employee with the local fire department, Dean Hart, an NCNB leasing agent. Arthur Williams, and a United Parcel Service’s employee Dave Richards have one thing in common that I know of-the love for the game of chess. Wednesday night, March 21, they brought that love, along with their skills and boards to the Pagoda Room of the Quality Inn, downtown. i iie raeirouna uness Club in conjunction with the Knight Publishing Company presented Victor Korchnoi, inter national grand master and the world’s second best chess player, in a 50-man simultaneous chess exhibition. Dean Hart and Dave Richards gained entry into this historical event uoc vi iueir mem bership in the Metrolina Chess Club. Art Williams’ name was one of the 20 pulled from the 1400 Charlotte Observer puzzle winners. Korchnoi set the stage with a 30 minute talk, mostly about his world championship with Anatoly Karpov. At 6:45 he lit another cigarette in the chain and moved pawn to queen 4 against his first opponent. Four hours and thirty-five minutes later it was all over. Korchnoi had beaten 47 of the 50 players. Grady Brown, Gregory Roland and John Pietras were able to play Korcnhoi to a draw. Even though they lost, Art, Dave and Dean made very commendable showings. Dave last after 28 moves, Art played well through 35 moves and Dean played to 40 moves before bowing out. For his excellent playing, Dean won an autographed copy of Victor Korchnoi’s new book. The group of players ranged from Dr. Pierre Macy, the oldest, who pioneered Charlotte’s first chess club in 1951, to 13-year-old Mike Muha, who by the way, played for 38 moves. An interesting npte-Sulaiman Muhammed, a young brother from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, hitch hiked to Charlotte for thin momentous event.
