Opinions ‘expressed belong to the writers and do not necessarily represent those of Counterplay Publishing Association, ‘This issue of Counterplay is dedicated to the memory of Elod Macskasy. Editorial ‘There are two main problems in getting Counterplay out oon time. The first is everyone’s (including our own) des- regard of our deadiinines. The remedy for this is obvious. In future, anything submitted late will be not be published, oF published in the following issue. The second problem is the amount of work involved. ‘The effort that goes into each issue is much more than most people realize, and is probably more that most people would Dut up with. My predecessor, Paul Burke, put up with it for several years, setting a high standard of dedication. He ‘worked exceptionally hard, and made continual sacrifices. Ifyou keep in mind that there is no tangible reward for this, ‘work, you may consider how fortunate we've been to have someone stay on for solong, Among my goalsthen, issimp- ly to last long enough to find and train a successor. Apparently some BCCF members think that ‘Counterplay is an unnecessary expense and bother, and that the BCCF should go back to producing it’s own simple newsletter. If that’s the case then they're likely unaware of ‘what Counterplay’s main asset is—its second class mailing license, The value of itis such that, by comparison, a four page BCCF newsletter would cost approximately 65 cents, per issue as opposed to the one dollar that it currently costs for Counterplay. The difference is an extra two dollars and. ten cents per year. Look at the April issue and compare it with February's. I think you'll agree that it’s worth it ‘One final note: with the size of this issue, Counterplay ‘has met all of its material obligations. Therefore, contrary to what was stated in the April edition, the August issue will, not be enlarged. Many Thanks ‘Thanks to the people on the lists below, all of whom deserve much praise. ‘The following made donations to Counterplay for this special issue, making it possible: Paul Brown $50 Joel Brennan $5 Francisco Cabanas $50 John Chang $50 Robert Chow $25 Jason Feng $20 Dr. R, Haugen $20 George Heslop $20 Dave Hunter $5 Dr. C.

My previous attempts at the game have not been very successful. This time I've hired 4 private instructor and bought Sargon 1V. ‘At my last lesson my instructor brought me a copy of. Counterplay. I was thrilled with the publication with one ex- ception. On the published ratings page I was shocked to see the socially archaic term, ‘Ladies,’ used. The term denotes “social position, breeding etc.” The more acceptable term is “Women, ’“‘an adult female person.” look forward to your reply. Sincerely, Lori Winstanely Suey, B.C. Although I can't quite agree that the term ‘Ladies’ is shocking, the point is valid, After all, few would expect or refer the term ‘Gentlemen’ for a men’s list. - Editor The Editor, Counterplay, Many thanks for continuing to send me Counterplay magazine which keeps me in touch with B.C. chess in amost informative way. My cheque for $9 is enclosed to renew my subscription—a bargain at this rate. /Ed- new rates on .2] Incidentally, in the February 1990 dition you published the 1990 B.C. Closed Chess Championship games and I would refer you to the Round 6 game Lee-Moore. If the posi- tion is recorded accurately, couldn't Lee have played 37.Rxg7+ winning immediately? Perhaps time trouble ‘caused him to overlook this, whilst he was defending a most
