ACCORDING TO "The Oxford Companion to Chess," no game has surpassed chess in the following it has commanded in all countries for many centuries. It has a history spanning 1,400 years; in one or another of its various forms, it has been popular for most of this time, and has offered both inspiration and solace to artists, writers and scientists. Such is the subtlety of the game that no one has been able to determine whether it is an art, a science, a sport or a combination of them all. All branches of chess, including its history, are embraced in this book, with recommendations for further reading. All terms commonly used by players are explained, about 570 biographies are included and there are entries for about 650 names representing 700 openings or variations.
Composition terms provide the groundwork 1 for an understanding of that art, but only a handful of problem themes are given. The strategy of modern chess is discussed, and the entry for shatranj includes the only existing description of the old game's strategy. More than 220 games and more than 190 compositions are included. Although instruction is not its purpose, a newcomer could learn to play and to follow the game by referring to laws, notations and conventional symbols. The numbers given in the entries for openings refer to Appendix in which the moves defining each opening are to be found.
This appendix may also be used to discover the name of an opening if the moves are known, a facility not previously available. The most commonly used examples from six languages are given with English translations in Appendix 2, as an aid to understanding foreign annotations. From this fleeting taste of what lies ahead, it can be ascertained that chess is complicated. The reason is simple: Chess came from antiquity and grew with civilization itself. Problem solvers No.

In 1956 she married Prince Rainier III, ruler of Monaco. To honor their 10th wedding anniversary, Monaco struck a 10-franc silver coin. On its face are the heads of Prince Rainier and Princess Grace in profile and the words "GRACE, RAINIER III DE MONACO 1966." The reverse shows the crowned Monegasque coat of arms, the coin value and the words, "Xeme ANNIVERSAIRE MARIAGE" wedding According to mint reports, 24,000 uncirculated and 1,000 proof coins were struck. In addition, a 200-franc gold coin was struck. Its general design is similar to the silver 10-franc piece.
Five thousand uncirculated and 1,000 proofs were struck. I have an English "crown" dated 1935 that came in a red cardboard box. Is it a proof coin? A. Your coin shows the head of George on its face. He became king of England in 1910, and in 1935 celebrated his silver jubilee.
Your cased coin was struck for the occasion. But whether it is a proof will take some study. You will note that the coin has a lettered edge, which reads "Decus et Tutamen Anno Regni XXV" ornament and a protection, 25th year of If the lettering is raised, your coin is a proof. If the lettering is incused, your coin is merely "prooflike." Besides the 714,769 ordinary crowns struck for the silver-jubilee of George 2,500 proofs were so 110p 202 min .000 1: eta, 68 1013 it batiF. 81 tad bite 85 1934 neit; inion cOMA 9101 -00 A TAN COINS The 10-franc silver coin of Monaco commemorating Prince Rainier's and Princess Grace's: 10th wedding anniversary.

But since the demand for proofs far exceeded the supply, 6,000 additional prooflike strikes were made and sold in red cardboard boxes. Q.
Do you expect coin prices to go up or down? 4 A. Periodic weakening of the coin market, such as took place in 1 1965-66, 1975 and 1981, is not unusual. After each slump, prices have picked up, although at any given time certain coins are more popular than others. In the long run, I see no reason why coin prices in general should not continue rising. First, the supply of any particular coin is fixed, so it cannot increase, and may decrease due to loss or mutilation.
Second, with increasing numbers of collectors, demand should rise. So prices should go up. Q. How did the U.S. government acquire the extensive coin 4 collection of Josiah Lilly? 41 A.
After the executors of the estate of Josiah K. Lilly indicated their desire to turn his collection of rare. coins exchange over for to a the federal government estate tax in credit, appraisers determined the value of the coins to be $5,534,808. After the appraisal was deemed 1-4 fair by all parties, legislation was introduced in 1967 authorizing the June 1968 purchase. and It the became coins law, in 3 transferred to the Smithsonian Institution, where part of the col- i lection is on display.

coin. But should you repair one already mutilated, you can onlybe accused of improving it, it. 00 10 CHi 49 148 1.
