Game of Kings
Lincoln Star: The game of chess might be described as the game of thinkers or the game of kings. The U.S. chess champion is 22-year-old Bobby Fischer who will participate in the international tournament in Cuba. Denied a travel permit by the U.S State Department, Fischer will transmit his moves to Havana from New York City by telephone or cable. The plan might work pretty well since it will allow both Fischer and his foe ample opportunity to study their own and each other's moves. It might well be called the game of kings since the average person would find it hard to get the time for it in view of the long concentration required for every move.
