games.
No, this is not a typing exercise,
nor is it an ultimatum. Take it only
as a word for the wise: the Mich-
igan icers, who are fighting a
break a seven-game losing streak,
are not going anywhere until they
get a couple more wins under their
belts.
And what better a time to start
than the present? Minnesota's
sixth-place (14-1) Golden Gophers
come to town tonight to open a
two-game set at the Coliseum, and
it may be Michigan's last chance
to pick up some conference points
! before the semester break. Nextt

Anyway, this weekend's series
with Minnesota presents Michi-
gan with its best chance so far
to come away with a two-game
sweep, as the Gophers, under
first-year coach Herb Brooks,
present probably the Wolverines'
weakest opposition to date.
The Gophers lost six lettermen
to graduattion from a team that
finished last in the WCHA last year
with a 7-21 record, so a wealth
of inexperience is prevalent, hard-
ly a plus-factor. In addition, the
Maroon and Gold scoring punch
is definitely lacking, with Minne-
sota's leading scorer, center Jim

ahead of Michigan, with four
points to the Wolverines' two (1-
ilol l7 record). The difference is caus-
ed by the one year old conference
rule which assigns different
point totals to games, depending
sports on how many times two teams
meet during the season.

Speed chess is quicker...
.. leaves room for crushers
chess by dan boyk
(OME TO THE Union this Sunday for the annual state speed
chess championship. Each participant will play more than 20
five-minute games (five minutes per player per game).
One of the lures of speed chess is that if you get into a hor-
rible position, you don't have to look at it for long. And there's
always the possibility that your opponent will overstep his time
limit, or fall into a trap that he would have avoided with more
time.
The deadline for entering the tournament is 10:30 Sunday
morning. The entry fee is on a sliding scale from $5, if you bring
a set and a chess clock, to $8, if you bring neither. In addition,
membership .in the Michigan Chess Association (MCA) is re-
quired.
The MCA publishes a superb monthly magazine. Edited by
Don Thackery, the magazine alone is sufficient reason to join,
even if you never play in future MCA events. Play in this tourna-
ment. Or watch silently; spectators are admitted free.
Below is a grandmaster speed game. Played between Nimzo-
vich and Tartakower in 1911 at 10 seconds per move, it's still fun
to play over today. 15. Q-KB6 is the kind of crusher normally pre-
vented in a grandmaster game, relegated to the footnotes.
This game, even with its inaccuracies, teaches more than a
theoretically sounder, super-subtle game.

An international tournament in San Antonio, Texas, has
brought together some of the world's leading players with some
of the strong, but relatively inexperienced ones. After four games
of the 16-man round robin, the Russian Karpov leads with 3-1/2.
Keres and Larsen are expected to win their adjourned games
and tie Karpov for the lead. At the tournament, Larsen predicted
that Fischer will lose his world title within 3 years.
Tonight at 10 p.m. on Channel 56, blindfold chess champion
George Koltanowski will host a show about the Texas tournament.
The other gave above, between Grandmaster Walter Browne of
Australia, and former World Junior Champion Julio Kaplan, of
Puerto Rico, was played in San Antonio, near the Alamo. Browne
rompletely dominates the board, transforming Kaplan's passive
position into a hopeless one.
* * * *'
Ann Arbor Master Wesley Burgar, just returned from the
American Open in Los Angeles, brings news of Fischer's where-
abouts during the San Antonio tournament. He was watching the
American Open! But only briefly; as soon as Fischer entered the
playing room, the record 400-plus entrants surrounded him, and
he left quickly.
Burgar scored 51/2 out of the first 7, and withdrew without
playing his last game.
If you're looking for a chess game in Ann Arbor, the best
place to try is Mark's Coffeehouse, located on Williams Street
near State. There is no charge to play, but everyone is requested
to buy something to eat.
Players of all levels are there, from complete beginners to
experts and masters. And you never know who will stop in. In-
ternational Master David Levy from Scotland sometimes drops in
when he is in the country. A couple weeks ago the Missouri state
champion was there.
With its kibitzing and endless post mortems, coffeehouse chess
is a relaxing way to spend a few hours. Beware-some chess sets
at Mark's are not used for chess. Variants of chess are sometimes
played, the most popular of which is double chess, a game which
has to be seen to be understood.
Double chess is a partnership game and thus has the advan-
tage of bridge-wins are your own, losses are your partner's.

DETROIT - The Detroit Pistons
overcame a 16-point deficit and
the loss of their star center, Bob
Lanier, last night, and defeated
the Buffalo Braves, 127-116, in a
National Basketball Association
game.
Lanier, who tops the Pistons in
scoring and rebounding with 25.2
points and 14 rebounds a game,
respectively, was injured in a fall
under the Pistons defensive basket
early in the first period and was
4 rushed to a hospital for examina-
tion.
The first diagnosis revealed no
fracture but that Lanier suffered'
from a pinched nerve in his neck
and would remain in the hospital
overnight for further tests and
x-rays today.
Meanwhile, his teammates re-
covered from a sluggish start in
which Buffalo, which has now lost
19 of 23, forged in front 54-38 in
thesecond period. But then the
Pistons, led by John Mengelt and
Don Adams, outscored the Braves
*32-19 for a 70-69 halftime lead.
After the lead changed hands 10
times in the first six minutes of
the third period, a basket by Curtis
Rowe put the Pistons ahead for
keeps and they increased their
AP Photo margin to 99-90 at the end of the
third period. They led by as many
as 16 in the final stanza.

Bruins bash
BOSTON-Don Marcotte took a
pass from Bobby Orr with 2:10
remaining and flipped a backhand-
er past Buffalo goalie Roger cro-
zier last night, giving the Boston

Bruins a 5-4 National Hockey
League victory over the Sabres at
the Garden.
Two minutes earlier, Johnny
Bucyk scored his 10th goal of the
season to tie the score 4-4 for the
Bruins, who extended their unbeat-
en string to eight games.
Marcotte's deciding goal over-
shadowed a two-goal and two-assist
performance by Orr, the spectacu-
lar defenseman who recently re-
turned after extended treatment
for a knee ailment. Orr's goals
were his seventh and eighth of the
season.
The game was tied 2-2 going into
the final period. In the third min-
ute, Orr slammed a 55-foot un-
assisted goal past Crozier.
