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.
Other spectators were Mr. and Mrs. James Cov ■»
ington, Melvin Aaron, Marci Jergenson, Mr. and
Mrs. Ray Smalls, Mr. and Mrs. Rick Bermand,
Mr. and Mrs. Gene Culley, Mr. and Mrs. Burnett

exhibition of chess talents.
