Derringer_Ha_s AnotheLSuccess 4 Spring Fever 1

Rick Derringer, the "all- American Boy" caught Spring Fever in 1975. Appearing on the album are three well- known songs, "Hang on Snoopy" "Still Alive and Well" and Rufus Thomas' "Walking the Dog". Also appearing are 7 some well-known personalit— ies such as Johnny and Edgar Winter, Don Hartman, and Chuck Corea.

_ Side One: "Gimme More" ‘begins the album with Der— ringer doing some fine gui— tar work. The style of the song shows that he has res- pect for the writing abili- ties of Edgar and Johnny Winter. "Don't Ever say Géod—bye" shows 100% Derrin—

ger style. It's a semi-sent- imental song — the style Derringer writes best. Der-‘ ringer has finally decided to record "Still Alive and well" after just about every- body/else in the recording industry has had it publish— ed. This version is very different from that of Johnny Winter. Chuck Corea adds his magical mind and fingers to "Rock", another fine crea— tion of Derringer. Corea's Moogs add the whipped cream and Cherry to Derringer's_ tasteful guitar work.

Side Two: "Hang on Snoopy" in Rick Derringer's style consists of the basic guitar,

North—south must make 13 tricks. If either of the two minor suits break 3—2, it is childs play to run off 13 winners. However, if , north tests both the minor suits immediately,taking A—K the contract is doomed.

North does have a line of play which works for any distribution in the minor suits. The solution!

North plays the hand in this fashion. After taking the ace of hearts, he takes the kings in both the minor ‘ suits. Both East and West follow suit so north can't take a marked finesse. Therefore he takes the king of hearts and sluffs a dia- mond or a club in the north hand. North then takes his four spades in dummy,sluff— ing the opposite suit to his original sluff.

At this point, west has come down to six cards, three to the jack in each minor suit, and must sluff‘ away the protection for one of his jacks. As soon as North sees a club or a dia—. mond come out, it is a simp— ,matter to.take his tricks in such a manner that he ends up in the hand/with _ the small card in that suit. By this time it has become

"He needs some answers" is a fine rock and roll type song with some tasteful lead. "Skyscraper Blues" is the only downfall of the album.

This column is designed around two principles that have a large effect upon chess play. The first prin;‘ ciple iszcontrol and main- tain control of open files,- two,backward pawns on an open file are.weak.

In the'given situation, white has a backward pawn on'a half open file. The major drawback to this is that the pawn-can only be. defended by pieces. Black takes advantage of the fact and forces the win of the pawn. An old chess saying goes like this "oneside wins a pawn, the rest is a matter of technique". This has a very real meaning.

As.more and more of the major pieces are exchanged, r the power of the extra pawn becomes palpable. Giv- en an extra pawn and an otherwise equal position,

..Black is almost certain to

win.
