New Game Good But Yanofsky Prefers Chess

11y JOHN l). HAMILTON

NElW YORK, March I29AtCP)—— Do you long to amaze and tttyst- ify your friends at parties?

John Scat-nt- is your man. Ho has invented a two-man parlor game which chess master Abe Yttnufsky ttdltlils is “tn-obably the ntost cotttpiicttted" to be dreamed up since chess.

Yesterday Suttrne and Yattofsky -ilte LlZ-t-ottr-tild Winnipeg chess txpert~gol together to discuss the relative tncrits of Scurno tprottnttncettScar-nee) and cltess. .»\itcr’a careful look at the new table sport. Yttnofsky said he didn't think that Scarne was quite ready to replace chess-but he admitted that. Scarne was "a good and interesting" game.

Scarne. a Stock)‘. cigar-chewing gentleman with a New Jersey ac- cent. spent the wtztt" years expos- ing crooked gamblers in the arm- ed services of the United States. He took nine years to develop the gttmc which bears his name and lt-e claims that its 40,000,000 (count ‘enti starting positions and high cerebral demands make It. the most revolutionary devel- opment in the games world since a Per n king dreamed up a wtar Home 2. 00 years ago which now is known as chess.

(Chess. by fhe way. has only 20 (lllhning moves but they lump to 400 on the next move. 70.000 tvltltltt a few more and an infin- iloly greater number titan 40.000,- titlfi before the ga-tne. ends.)

Scarne the-cording to ScarneJis so simple that. a cltlid can learn it in a few ntintttes. But ltc adds titltt. it also is so complex that an extacrt could spend years on it; ticfort- figuring ottt. alil the posit- ions.

It was at. that. point that Yan- ofsky and Bob Wade of Wel- lington. N. Z.. were called in to give an opinion. Yanofsky has just rctttrtted from a successful tour of Ettrope durinfl notch he played as many as 40 simultan- eous games of chess. Wade. 5. is a former New Zealand ell-am- plon who also played top tourna- ment chess in Europe. ‘

Tlfeybotlt took a long look at Scarne and said they thought chess still was safe.

Scttrne. incidentally. is played on a board which at first glance rentinds one slightly of a par- t-hor-sl board. It has 28 red and black checkers and a number of numbers to place the checkers on. The idea is to get rid of the checkers as fast as possible- something like rummy. The man with tltedast red checker on the board loses.

completed the gooey course-matte even more dangerous than usual by tvlnter floods and Saturday's raln—in 10:31 1-5. the slowest Grand National time in ltalf-a-cen-

fury.

The largest field since 1929 went to the post. Of the 5'1 runners. 1'7 finished within the time limit and 16 fell. Incidentally. the last. 100-1 shot. victory was in 1929 when Gregeinch paid those odds in trim- talng 65 others.

Ono Borne Killed

In Saturday's running of the his- toric raee at this course jult. out- side Liverpool one horse, J. Mar- tin Sandersonls Linthlll. was kill- ed. falling just past the canal turn the second time around. Oidtimers said they could not recall a Na- tional in which there were l0 few serious casualtiel or so many firt- lshers.

This was despite the muddy go- ittt; witivh many feared mllhi r0- sttlt in a, heavy number of casual- ties in the big field. fighting it: way over 30 of the toughest ob- stacles in the world in travelling the l-miio 856-yard course. The track, not fully recovered from re- cent. flooding. was made heavier by early morning rain and was patchy at noon with some of the going fair but several ltretches showing greasy puddlel.

A thin, steady rain resumed about an hour before post time and l crowd estimated at between 2501M.‘ and 300.000 watched from beneath umbrellas or in the stands.

Lovely Cottage. the 1946 winner was withdrawn at’ the hut. minute. presumably because of the sticky footing.
