Chess Rally Is Listed
Group Meets Here Tomorrow on Fund-Raising Mission
A meeting of chess enthusiasts will be held tomorrow night at the Community Church, 40 East Thirty-fifth street, at 8 o'clock. The primary topic will be ways and means of raising funds to send an American team to the world chess Olympics in Leipzig, East Germany.
Leonid Hambro, a concert pianist, called the meeting, which will be conducted by the Rev. Frank Peer Beal, the chairman of the People-to-People Chess Committee.
The competition at Leipzig will run from Oct. 14 through Nov. 9. Hambro estimates that it will cost $6,000 to send a six man United States team.
As the United States champion, Bobby Fischer of Brooklyn would head the team, Samuel Reshevsky and Nicolas Rossolimo are others who would be sent.
