Before you begin to go over these games sit down, take a deep breath, and prepare to be amazed, delighted and frustrated. . . eleven of them are widely renowned brilliant games from throughout chess history.  Another is a Grandmaster win that doesn't have the same status but should be distinguishable from the rest of the games which are local amateur contests.  


Match the letter of the game score to the questions; answer anything else asked; and mail to the Editor (of TCN), Gary Pylant.  You can win - $15 worth of chess books from Gary and I.

You must be a TCA member to win.  You may send your dues and your entry to Harry Sabine then he'll forward your entry to us.  DEADLINE – September 15, 1982. In the event of multiple correct entries, we'll draw the winner.
