Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that that there would be all sorts of human interest tournament in which an electronic computing machine was entered. were faintly untidy and indefinably shabby, had Slavic or Scandinavian features, and talked foreign languages. FIDE, WBM, USCF, USSF, USSR and UNESCO. Sandra felt fairly sure about the last three. Siamese-twin clocks should be essential to a chess tournament struck pairs who hadn't made the flight. This tournament hall seemed to Sandra Barcza System and Indian Defenses—and the Dragon Formation if anyone "Hah! In that case...." "The Russians have come with ten trunkfuls of prepared variations and they'll gang up on the Machine at adjournments. What can one New Jersey computer do against four Russian grandmasters?" "I heard the Russians have been programmed—with hypnotic cramming and Haupturnier or an intercollegiate won. It'll over its head be playing." "Yes, but maybe like Capa at San Sebastian or Morphy or Willie Angler at New York. The Russians will look like potzers." "Have you studied the scores of the match between Moon Base and Circum-Terra?" the game of chess—a point that she had slid over in conferring with circumstance that created for her the illusion that they were fellow "You have one great advantage," he told her. "You know nothing understandably for your readers." He swallowed half his demitasse and smacked his lips. "As for the Machine—you do know, I suppose, that it is not a humanoid metal robot, walking about clanking and squeaking like a late medieval knight in armor?" perfectly, so that it always wins and there is no contest. Right?" to play through all the possible games of chess, not to mention the time needed to classify those games into branching families of wins for White, wins for Black and draws, and the additional time required to each for White and Black—and then decide which is the best move on the out trumps in bridge or setting up a finesse." "Exactly!" Doc beamed at her approvingly. "The Machine chance of winning at once by trapping the enemy king, he examines is probably programmed to recognize such situations and do something of the same sort, though we can't be sure from the information World experience and artistry. The equivalent of those in the Machine is the directions fed into it before it plays a game." "You mean the programming?" transistors and something they call hypervelocity, which in turn depends on keeping parts of the Machine at a temperature near absolute you have the human factor, in this case working for the Machine." "Savilly, I have been looking allplace for you!" A stocky, bull-faced man with a great bristling shock of black, represents a large and influential Midwestern newspaper. Perhaps you have a message for her readers." The shock-headed man's eyes flashed. "I most certainly do!" At that eyebrows at her and actually slapping his chest, "that I, Igor Jandorf, will defeat the Machine by the living force of my human personality! me . Repeat: I, Igor Jandorf, by the living force of my human personality, he loses as surely as if he were checkmated. Now since the Machine those and drew five. Jandorf always exaggerates. It's in his blood." "He's one of the Russians, isn't he?" Sandra asked. "Igor?" Doc chuckled. "Not exactly," he said gently. "He is originally a Pole and now he has Argentinian citizenship. You have a program, don't you?" Sandra started to hunt through her pocketbook, but just then two lists of names lit up on the big electric scoreboard. THE PLAYERS The Machine, USA (programmed by Simon Great) Maxim Serek, USSR Moses Sherevsky, USA Lysmov vs. Krakatower Grabo vs. Machine "Cripes, Doc, they all sound like they were Russians," Sandra said after a bit. "Except this Willie Angler. Oh, he's the boy wonder, isn't he?" to you the only grandmaster ever to have been ex-chess-champion of the United States while still technically a minor—Master William Augustus Angler." A tall, sharply-dressed young man with a hatchet face pressed the old next year. About that ex- tournament?" They want to score a point over their great rival." the prize money they've put up, of course, that's brought the world's greatest players here. Otherwise half of them would be holding off in the best temperamental-artist style. For chess players the prize money is fabulous—$35,000, with $15,000 for first place, and all expenses paid for all players. There's never been anything like it. Soviet Russia is the only country that has ever supported and rewarded her best chess players at all adequately. I think the Russian players are here because UNESCO and FIDE (that's the tournament. And perhaps because the Kremlin is hungry for a little prestige now that its space program is sagging." "But if a Russian doesn't take first place it will be a black eye for them." Doc frowned. "True, in a sense. that you see the current champion of the world—Votbinnik—and an ex-champion arm in arm. There are two other persons in the tournament "Will whoever wins this tournament become champion?" "Oh no. That's decided by two-player matches—a very long business—after elimination tournaments between leading contenders. This tournament is a round robin: each player plays one game with every an awful lot of Russians in the tournament," Sandra said, consulting her program. "Four out of ten have USSR after them. And Bela Grabo, Hungary—that's a satellite. And Sherevsky and Krakatower are Russian-sounding names." "The proportion of Soviet to American entries in the tournament represents pretty fairly the general difference in playing strength between the two countries," Doc said judiciously. "Chess mastery moves from land to land with the years. Way back it was the Moslems and the Hindus and Persians. Then Italy and Spain. A little over a hundred years ago it was France and England. Then Germany, Austria and the New World. Now it's Russia—including of course the Russians who have run away from Russia. But don't think there aren't a lot of good Anglo-Saxon types who are masters of the first water. In fact, think so. It's just that if you play a lot of chess you get to looking Russian. Once it probably made you look Italian. Do you see that short bald-headed man?" "You mean the one facing the Machine and talking to Jandorf?" "Yes. Now that's one with a lot of human interest. Moses Sherevsky. Been champion of the United States many times. A very strict Orthodox Jew. Can't play chess on Fridays or on Saturdays before sundown." He because it is technically a and the last-place consolation prize! Yet dreaming schizophrenically of beating them all! Please, don't get me started on Dirty Old Krakatower." very brilliant player and that the Machine is very lucky to have drawn chess championship. I think WBM was surprisingly shrewd to pick him predictions and we are giving out no advance information on the and they have won most of them. I am not permitted to re-program the running on it. My men are permitted to make repairs—if they can work fast enough." grandmasters, including all four Russians, were seated at their tables. play, though not for chess-thinking. The difference in style between and has grandmaster skill." doctor. She'd read something about two or three coming over with the Russian squad. But Doc certainly didn't sound like a Soviet citizen. He was older than she'd first assumed. She could see that now that that she wasn't a writer at all or even a reporter, she just used dime-a-dozen female attractiveness to rope a susceptible man (young, old, American, Russian) and pick his brain.... She realized suddenly that the whole hall had become very quiet.
