Chess Fine
Congratulations to The Daily News for the excellent coverage of U.S. Grandmaster Robert Fischer's match with former World Chess Champion Tigran Petrosian of the U.S.S.R. being held in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I'm sure I can speak for the 150 active and inactive members of the Dayton Chess club at present in the Dayton area, as well as the countless casual chess players, noon-time chess players in various industries and commercial establishments in the Miami valley, and others who are becoming interested in the rapidly growing “sport of kings,” when I say we greatly appreciate your accurate and timely coverage of the next-most-important chess event of this decade, topped only by the forthcoming world championship, which we all fully expect to take place between Fischer and Boris Spassky, the present world champion, a citizen of U.S.S.R.
Our local Dayton Chess Club is very active. Average attendance is about 50 to 55 each Friday night at the Dayton & Montgomery County Public Library Third & St. Clair Sts. . . .
