Chess Tourney Ends Today: Concentration was evident yesterday as Keith Conrey (left) tried to entrap opponent Hubert H. Wyeth in the second Mark's Coffeehouse Open Chess Tournament. Watching the action at the first Congregational Church is Burton Grossmon. The tournament began Friday with 82 participants, final rounds were scheduled today. Included in the action was a computer chess program, called TECH, which found human competition a little too smart to handle. TECH lost its first round match, but the loss was attributed to lack of time. "It played a little too slowly," one person said.
