ast chess just harder
By ANDY WILLIAMS
Battalion Staff
Two men sit hunched over a chess board in a cluttered office of
ilner Hall.
Their movements are not the leisurely ones associated with the
e. Thier hands flash to the pieces and slap off the switch of a
luble-faced clock that records playing time.
The players, Dr. Dusan Djuric and Mark Hulsey, are two of the
st at Texas A&M University, according to U.S. Chess Federation
tings. The game is speed chess.
Speed chess is a variation of the regular game. Each player is
lowed five minutes of playing time. In ordinary chess tournament
ay, each player is required to make 40 moves in two-and-a-half
mrs.
The game is obviously turning in Djuric’s favor. The fact is less
(parent from the position on the board, where Hulsey’s king be-
mes increasingly isolated, than from the excited comments from
r. Peter Knopf, in whose office the game is being played.
Hulsey, Knopf, and Dr. Roger Smith tied for first place in a recent
mdard chess tournament at Texas A&M. Smith and Knopf are pro-
ssorsin the math departments; Hulsey is an undergraduate micro-
ology student. Djuric, a professor of meteorology, is the faculty
Iviser of the Chess Club.
The group’s conversation about the game is quick and eager.
“Dr. Smith is a very good player, very steady,’ Hulsey says. “Peter
studied the openings. I just. . . well, I should have lost a couple of
mes ” (in the Texas A&M tournament, held Oct. 14).
"Mark is a very good tactical player,” Knopf adds. “I would say he
as good as Roger at speed chess. Roger, of course, can do every-
ing.”
Smith, ranked a master by the U.S. Chess Federation, is generally
nsidered the best player on the campus, Knopf said.
Knopf, who defeated Smith in the Oct. 14 matches, had played
icline Oir- ly one tournament before.

Let’s just say that does not happen very often, ” Hulsey said.
T played an unorthodox variation of the Sicilian defense,” Knopf
nfided.
Questions about forms for the game that vary significantly from
ndard chess (such as four-player or three dimensional chess) are
(with less enthusiasm. “Chess is so complicated there is no need
complicate it further,” Djuric says.
The group is also slightly scornful of chess played by computers and
rices. ‘The human mind is much superior to the computer,”
uric says.
At the present time,” Knopf adds.

A TAXPAYER’S
BILL OF RIGHTS
IS PAST DUE
Bill Clements believes we still have a chance to
preserve our future by establishing constitutional
protection against excessive taxation and
runaway government spending.
Bill Clements believes the people of Tfexas
should have the power necessary to ratify or re
ject tax policies made by legislators.
Tb establish this power (of the people), Bill
Clements will introduce an amendment to the
Thxas Constitution that would give the people of
r IIdivo c n i q t*i crn"f”
Bill Clements’ "Thxpayers’ Bill of Rights”
would:
• Give Tfexans the right of initiative
and referendum, a phrase that
means we, the people, have a right
to vote on the taxes to be levied on us.
• Place a ban on corporate or per
sonal income tax in Tfexas.
• Require a two-thirds record vote of
both houses of the legislature to
pass a tax bill.
• Allow local taxpayers to call an
election to ratify or reject a tax in
crease created by a local gov
ernmental unit.
Bill Clements believes in Texas
and the people of Tfexas.
Bill Clements thinks that elected
officials must work for the people and
represent them properly.
As governor of Tbxas, Bill Clements
will work for and with the people of
Tfexas.
