““Check mate’ and 15-year-old jumor chess
champion Maurice Johnson of Terrace, wipes
opponent George Braun, 45, off the board.

Junior champ outplays tutor

There is nothing particularly.

unique about Maurice Johnson
who is fifteen years old and 4
grade ten student -at Skeena.
Junior Secondary School except
that he would rather play chess
than study. -

Johnson, who learned chess at
age nine and has been playing
seriously for about a year,
spends dn average of two hougs
a day at the game.

Last week Johnson won a

round robin’ chess. tournament:

in Kitimat. The previous week,
he won the Prince Rupert
‘Senior Chess Finals—entered by
players age 19 and over.

“The first few times I played
ina club I was wiped right off
the beard,” says Johnson.

Then he became a protege of
George Braun, 45, a Terrace
logger, who has a chess rating
of 1,700.

But in one year Johnson has
outplayed his tutor to. acquire a
rating of 2,000.

His ambition is to become an
international master--which
takes of rating of more than
290,

“Being an‘ international
master means you can
go anywhere in’ the world,
expenses paid, to play in any
chess tournament,’’ says
Johnson, '

The. highest rating in the
world is 3,500--currently held by
Bobby Fisher of New York
State.

‘Johnson that
mathematical
necessary to become an-expert
chess player. :

He is a C-plus student at
Skeena Jr. Secondary and his
classmate Paul Young says
“Maurice has ne mathematical

denies’

ability” is”

math class.” .
“But chess makes your mind

‘work because the variations

and possibilities in chess are
unlimited,” says Johnson. °

“There are three principles in
chess--opening maves, middle.
‘games and end games.” ‘

“Every. day there's about
$3,000 new opening moves
invented. And the same number
of moves are discarded,”

Johnson's major problem is
the lack of senior opponents in
Terrace, which limits his
opportunity to practice and
improve.

Two chess groups previously
active in Terrace have
disbanded. :

Any chess player who wants
to take. on junior champ

- Consumers are demanding
“ more equality and fair trade in

“Boyes, president of Federated
Co-operatives: said -in Terrace
Tuesday.

Consumers are telling
business, “if you want to sell me
your goods you must accept me
as apartner with equal rights. in
the transaction,” he told the
26th annual meeting of the
Terrace
Association.
_ People have rebelled against
unfair business practices to the
extent that. the- Tederal
government has formed royal
commissions to hear
consumers’ complaints. about
prices, poor quality and
deceptive advertising, :

. This revolt by the consumers

department -of consumer. and |

Corporate affairs and similar
departments in -many
provinces,’ he said. .
“These departments are now
active in creating and enforcing

The jaw ensures that those:
who sell get a guaranteed value
in return for the goods they
provide. .

“AS long as the'seller has a |

guarantee of the value and
quality of the money we pay for

goods, it is only right and [air-

that consumers should have
equal knowledge of the quality
and quantity of goods they get in
return.

“There are new laws ‘being
written in response to consumer
demands, to help provide that
kind of guarantee, " he said,

“But there is opposition to
those laws by those who seem to
