lata ma snnma may is safety month the georgetown herald wednesday evening may 9th 1956 page 3 has had quite good success in other clubs lets hear from you inci dentally your correspondent is only human and is very prone to making silly mistakes especially when he tries to do three hours work in two so if it appears that a problem doesnt read right check the bulle tin board up at the clubroom or phone 2010 and we will see that you are put straight for in nov c the knight is unless circum stances are very favourable the weakest piece df all he may take two squares away from the king or give check and besides take one square away from him but the ad verse king may approach him then and get rid of him if no support is near his great power is that he can not be obstructed when ob structions abound and when he can occupy a strong point near the en emys line he can be an invaluable ally his reach never exceeds eight points situated in a circle and he may be obliged to take five moves to cross the board from one point to another for instance the two diagonally opposite corner points on an extended field of battle he must therefore choose the wing to which he will give his support or very much lose m value to refer to the oft muted ques tion which is stronger the bishop or knight it is clear that the value of the bishop undergoes greater changes than that of the knight if experience has shown that on an average during the opening or mid dle game the bishop will be at least as strong as the knight this will be the more true the more obstructions disappear that is in endings with only a few pawns scattered about the board in complicated end games where pawns partly form blocks the knight will find his best chance the value of two bishops vanes of course as they dominate the whole chess board very much less than that of one in consequence two bishops are as a rule appreciably stronger than two knights or a bishop and a knight the king being placed in opposi tion to the adverse king he will take three squares from him and can thus hinder him from advancing he can single handed stop three united pass ed pawns not advanced beyond the sixth row and two one of which is on the seventh row he can attack every square on the hoard and that if he is in a central position for instance at k4 in no more than three moves his reach is totally unin lluenced by obstructions other than the natural limits of the board he is therefore a powerful weapon if well developed in one of the central points or near important points he can however never be used as an instrument of obstruction never be exposed to any direct attack which sensibly diminishes his offensive val ue against strong pieces of attack the queen is the strongest piece of all and lasker docsn t even waste words on her at all we can take it from there that the queens stren gth speaks for itself i will add this though and you may take it for what it s worth being a strong piece she is always a very desirable capture for an opponent to make we were advised last week in the eight bad moves not to make too many queen moves in the opening this i have found is very sound advise the knights and then the bishops should be developed before the queen is brought into pla if the reverse is done your opponent can give you a merry time of it by continually at tacking your queen and if you dont suffer her loss you most definitely will suffer from loss in tempo and development when the queen has been brought out too early there is too strong a tendency to use her for menial duties much more suited to the bishop knight or even a pawn to bring to a conclusion this series of articles by lasker on the respec tive powers of the various pieces let me suggest you attach the following point values to the different pieces the queen 9 rook 5 bishop 3 knight 3 pawn 1 rtsults of games thursday may 3 1956 whit blacks les norm 0 j boughton 1 gord tee 1 harold gilmer 0 john bolt 3 jack walker 0
