They're Checking Mates For Chess
Now that world interest has turned to Iceland for the Fischer-Spassky chess showdown, Canarsiens too have caught the chess mania. Since the beginning of this month, Canarsiens by the dozens have been studying classic moves.
The area between Rockaway Parkway and E. 102nd St. on Seaview Ave. is a good example “Grandmaster” Steven Gold has declared that he will face anyone in the area. As of now, only two fellow Canarsiens have accepted this challenge by Gold-Fred Blummer and Raymond Jacobs. (The deadline for applying is July 14.) If these two are still the only challengers by the deadline, they will play a series on July 15 and July 16 for the right to meet Mr. Gold.
