Each Monday at 6:30 p.m. for as long as the match continues, chess champion George Koltanowski and reporter Jim Benet will review the previous week's games and events in the controversial world championship chess match between Bobby Fischer of the United States and Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union.
“The Fischer-Spassky World Championship Chess Match: A Weekly Review” will be seen locally on WIPB-TV, Channel 49.
Koltanowski, a world blindfold chess champion, will analyze the key game of the preceding week, demonstrating the alternative strategies that either player might have taken at crucial points in the game.
JIM BENET, reporter for KQED San Francisco and a specialist in education topics, will digest the news surround the two highly-unpredictable contestants and will interpret the rules decisions made during the course of the match.
The weekly review series is intended to enable chess players at whatever level to enjoy and appreciate the Iceland Match Play at the Grand Master level. Since programs will be taped on Fridays, they will not contain the results of the Sunday games in the match.
Koltanowski, who has played four times in the chess olympics, has written books on chess in English, French and Flemish. He set the world record in blindfold simultaneous exhibition at Edinburgh, Scotland in 1937. He currently writes a chess column for the San Francisco Chronicle.
