The Big Chess Match
Western Springs—The thousands of chess enthusiasts in the Chicago area appreciate THE TRIBUNE'S excellent and timely coverage of the Fischer-Petrosian world semi-final chess match. Particularly enjoyable was the inclusion of the move-by-move summary, the next best thing to a ring-side seat at the match in Buenos Aires. — James E. Warren, Director, U.S. Chess Federation.
Evanston—Congratulations on your splendid coverage of the Fischer-Petrosian Chess Match in Buenos Aires. Yours was a better job, even to the quality of newsprint, than that of the New York Times.
I look forward to reading your account, next spring, of the Fischer-Spassky match. That match, like the Ping-pong match in China, might even beget international repercussions; in which case I shall be consulting your editorials rather than those of the Times which will be too busy smearing Richard Nixon to waste time on anything else. — T.O. Mott-Smith
