Behind the Reagan Administration's hard-won victory on the MX missile this week was mounting evidence of trouble for the Pentagon's military program. By framing the MX vote as a test of national resolve at the outset of arms control talks in Geneva, the Administration held at bay a number of forces that threaten not only the future production of the MX but other weapons as well. These forces include the pressures of the budget, partisan politics and skepticism about the Defense Department's military aims. Unraveling of MX Coalition Even as the House voted Thursday to release $1.5 billion for 21 more MX missiles, those forces were moving back with renewed strength.

President Reagan plans to tell Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone that unless Japan opens its markets to American goods he will be unable to prevent Congress from enacting retaliatory protectionist legislation, according to a senior White House official. ''We're putting the ball in their court; it's up to them to open up their markets,'' the official, who asked not to be identified, said today. The official said the President will make his views clear to Mr. Nakasone at a private meeting during the Bonn economic summit meeting that begins May 4. Congress 'Exasperated' The official said Mr. Reagan decided on such an approach after a White House meeting today in which he was told that the Congress was becoming ''exasperated'' and that ''something had to give.''

After agreeing on deep cuts in state income taxes and auto registration fees, Governor Cuomo and legislative leaders turned today to negotiations over spending. The level of aid to schools and local governments and the size and shape of a host of programs continued to delay agreement on a state budget that appears to have crept over the $39 billion mark. Legislative leaders said they doubted that voting on it could be started before the fiscal year ends at midnight Sunday. Likely to Be Lengthy The negotiations over spending were complicated and likely to be lengthy, but the tax deal reached just before midnight Thursday cleared the major obstacle toward agreement.

The South African authorities, facing a crisis of unrest in the country's black townships, today outlawed meetings by a major nonparliamentary opposition group and 28 other organizations. The bans, which affect the troubled Eastern Cape region and areas near Johannesburg, represent virtually a blanket prohibition on gatherings where the authorities are likely to be criticized. The key group affected by the ban, the United Democratic Front, is widely regarded as the Government's principal nonparliamentary opponent, apart from the outlawed African National Congress. Claims 1.5 Million Followers South African commentators said the order was almost certain to enhance the group's status and credibility among opponents of white minority rule, seeming to validate its claim to be a champion of the voteless majority against the authorities. The front says it has a following of 1.5 million people from 600 church, community, student and union groups.

At the age of 4 she came across a chess book and asked her father what it was. He explained, set up a chessboard and showed her the moves. A few months later she played in the Under-11 Championship in Budapest and won every game. She joined a chess club, studied chess with her father and some Hungarian grandmasters, and at 10 became a women's master. At the age of 11 she won the world's Under-16 chess championship. She soon started international tournament play, and at 12, as the only female entrant, she won a tournament in Bulgaria.
