The state department would not permit him to travel to Cuba and yet he finished 2nd in the tournament to smyslov---how did he do this? ——— Kasparov launches “chess for schools” plan in EU — When it comes to encouraging children to do better at school, Gary Kasparov says the answer is in black and white. After several successful years in the US, the former world chess champion wants to introduce his Chess in Schools programme across the EU. Kasparov’s not-for-profit foundation hopes the European Parliament will give the go-ahead for a roll-out in September. It helps them with the curriculum.” he told reporters in Brussels,“it has great social effect, integrating kids from very different social backgrounds. It is also a very important element in this time of economic hardship – it is cheap. Computers will play a central role in the programme, giving students the opportunity to learn chess ...

Both players are usually tired at the end of a long game, and as a result, many chess players, both beginner and advanced, see their endgame play suffer. Luckily, you have the benefit of reading this informative article, so hopefully you can begin improving your endgame play today! Playing quickly at the end of the game is a typical mistake of the inexperienced chess player. Just because there are fewer pieces on the board, this does not mean things are simple. Accuracy is more important in the endgame, as even one slip can turn the game from a win to a draw or a draw to a loss – or even worse, a win to a loss … but let’s not even talk about that. The first way to ... Posted by tonlesu | mailcafe.net 1/07/2003 17:04:31 Play online chess mywayMessage: Did you read the opening post? This question was for noopteril. It was easy because I don't think he can handle anything difficult. It's been my experience that when anyone says he knows everything about something---He knows nothing! ——— The Morning After: Finding Bobby Fischer (movie review) — There are many different roles chess has played in popular culture: source of excitement, metaphor for conflict, cause of (or at least form of expression for) madness (e.g., Nabokov's The Defense). Last night's HBO documentary, Bobby Fischer Against the World, involved all of those, and was both an empathetic biography and fascinating history of a Cold War showdown to boot. The film, directed by Liz Garbus, relied heavily on documentary footage and exclusive period photography to tell the story, from his early days as a chess prodigy to his final years of paranoia, of the chess master whose defeat of Boris Spassky in 1972 was cause for national celebration. It was transporting to see the chess match ...

RB: Recently I've had very little time for chess. If you don't play, your game suffers. This sad and simple fact was brought home to me when I started losing badly to my sparring partner of 30 years Vince, despite Vince having had triple bypass surgery and being doped up on all kinds of pain-killing medication. Deadlines met, for the most part, I decided to do a little studying. Against 1 e4 Vince often plays the Sicilian Dragon. One of White's typical strategies against the Dragon is to hurl the kingside pawns against the enemy king. This got me thinking about pawn storms in general and then I remembered the stunning chess game ...

Best wishes Cairo ——— Chess: Nakamura and Robson Show Off Their Promise — Two recent exhibition matches in St. Louis could help pave the way for an American to have a shot at the world title after the next chess championship match in 2012. One pitted Hikaru Nakamura of the United States against Ruslan Ponomariov of Ukraine, the other was a face-off between Ray Robson and Ben Finegold, both Americans. The contests were intended to give Nakamura, 23, and Robson, 16, valuable experience. (Robson was supposed to play Viktor Korchnoi, the octogenarian grandmaster. But Korchnoi dropped out at the last minute, and Finegold, 41, who lives in St. Louis, replaced him.) The chess matches were six slow games followed by four rapid games. Robson was ...

I recall a master's quote "He who says he understands chess, understands nothing." I don't think anyone knows much about Fischer. He's like an iceberg---90% hidden! |
