Chemen Gel Farel EAGLE POINT kr D..i, CnUiJCity Budget Approved Remodels Design By BILL BEST United Press Correspondent Hollywood Iff) If prize winning sculptor Peter Ganine has his way, the days of the "old fashioned" chess sets are num bered. The "old fashioned" set was designed in 1849 by Howard Staunton, an Englishman, once continental chess champion. But Ganine, a White Russian who fled Tiflis and the Commu nist revolution for the Belgian Congo in 1919, says "it's time for a change." Staunton's set, with its fami liar lathe-turned and faceless queens, kings and bishops and its horse heads for knights, was the first successful standardized set designed for mass production. It took 20 years to achieve popu larity. It was an historic event in the approximate 4,000-year history of the game. Now Ganine, 57, after a wait of 22 years, believes the design that he sculpted back in 1935 and exhibited at the 1939 World's Fair in San Francisco, is about to become the second major design upheaval in chess history. "We finally standardized it and have our molds and are in pro duction," he said in his hillside studio overlooking downtown Hollywood. "The demand is coming like hot-cakes," he added in his still broad Russian accent. Mads Of Plastic "See, everyteeng's got a face," said Ganine. "So impersonal was Staunton's pieces. No features. "One of fondementals of chass, one. of its basic appeals is desire of human being to play God, to move people around like com mander of armies. So you put face on chass pieces and you moving people around." Even Ganine's castles have fac es female and "enigmatic be cause a castle is an enigma . . . you never know when you ap proach the castle whether draw bridge weel be down or whether crossbows weel shoot you from the parapet." Why female? "The french word for castle is 'la tour' faminine gender." Ganine's pawns look like a horde of Viking foot soldiers, strong impersonal visages that appear resigned to their fates. His knights, also strong-featur ed, bear Trojan crests on their helmets. And his king is elderly stern-browed, beside a younger and flirtatious queen. "See," Ganine said, knocking two of the pieces together sharp ly, "plastic, solid plastic (mela mine). They are heavy and have authority, and luminosity, too. By MRS.
