SATURDAY 22 JUNE 1968 174th day - 192 days to come

Added material to the "move" cards of THESE UNITED STATES and then put on transparent contact.

Saw Claude in the evening (with Ann & BB). He gave me the copy of GENERALS he picked up for me ($3). Claude gave me a copy of THE TREASURY OF CHESS LORE which had finished with. Claude had bought me a copy of TO TELL THE TRUTH which is based on a TV game where three people are in the studio pretending all stating they are a particular person (not so well known that their face would be familiar) A panel asks them questions trying to tell which one is authentic. This was translated to a home game by using famous people. For each one there is a set of three cards. Two of these give just the name. The third card designates the authentic player and gives the answers to a list of questions which the panel has. Claude's kids enjoyed it so I told him to keep it. (It cost 50¢). Showed Claude and Anne THESE UNITED STATES. They were impressed. Showed Claude MEM and played part of a game. Two ques- tions:- If a player has a matching group before he takes off a piece, can he take it? Probably yes. Then he takes off a piece, which he would do after making a match. He actually loses the original take off. If a player "protected" pieces on the board and then can't match them, can they be taken off? Probably not and they just remain there at the end of the game.
