| Posted by gta3master2987 mailcafe.net 1/05/2003 14:57:50 Play online chess |  Subject: en passantMessage: I have analyzed many games on this site, just for fun, and I realized something... not many people have used the "en passant" move, and I have seen many situations where it could have been used very effectively.... So, I was just wondering, how many people on this site know what "en passant" is. If you do know, please say so... if you don't please say so... also, if you do know, please do not tell what it is... if you want to know what it is, send me a message... gta3master2987 |

Chess news: Can Kramnik find a bold move? -- The former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik had a superb year. But how did he turn this game to his advantage? Kramnik-Kosteniuk, World Chess Cup Blitz Moscow 2009. White to play. Apart from Magnus Carlsen's breakthrough, the major story of 2009 was Vladimir Kramnik's comeback. Since he lost the world title he looks more relaxed, his opening preparation is more thorough, and his play is sharper. This game is a good illustration of Kramnik's chess style. RB This looks to me like a pretty evenly balanced middlegame, and I can find nothing – nothing – at all for White. I can't see any tactical strikes. 1 Nxf7, 1 Ng6, 1 Rxc7 and 1 Bxd5 are all ... The game enjoys a calmer decade -- After the turbulent 1990s, the world of chess needed a calmer period. Here are my reflections on the past decade and a few guesses about the future: Bobby Fischer, probably the most famous chess player ever, died in 2008. Fischer had not played publicly since 1992, but he grabbed attention with vile anti-American statements and a long battle to avoid extradition from Japan. He eventually won the battle, sparing chess fans and the U.S. government more embarrassment, and spent his final years in exile in Iceland. His "improved" version of the game, Fischer random chess, has attracted few adherents. Garry Kasparov, another colossal chess figure, retired in 2005. He quickly ... Chess: The worst of all your possible moves -- Oscar Wilde quipped that when a pessimist is given a choice between two evils, the pessimist chooses both. In this week’s chess position black’s king is in check and must move. The king has only one bad choice. All other choices lead toward a draw. Please play the chess pessimist and try to find black’s worst move. White has a small space advantage. This should not be enough to win, however. With the rooks on the board and an equal number of pawns the game should be drawn. If black king retreats to b7 or d7, black maintains the balance. The one choice that loses is moving the king to d5. This allows the white rook to slide over to d3, checking black. After ... | |
