Game of Chess 'Last Resort of Logic'
It is strange that in Communist countries, chess is so revered. In Mother Russia, millions play the most logical game of all under an illogical system. For many years, the Russians have dominated chess. The current world champion is a Russian, as has been the case for many years.
But we in America have a man who, after so many years, has an excellent chance of wrestling the world championship from Russia: A tall, lanky American named Bobby Fischer. I hope that this irresistible person becomes the world champion of chess — the most wonderful of games.
