| Posted by brunetti uskidscompute.com 8/19/2002 18:32:22 | Why?! Message: White is a Bishop up. But I think that 10...Bxa1 is better, since Black gets for his Queen a Rook, a Bishop and 2 pawns. The best is 10...d5, when Black loses nothing. Anyway, 9...Bxc3? is punished by 10.Ba3! and Black King is in great danger, for example: 10...d5 11.Bb5 Bxa1 12.Re1+ Be6 13.Qa4 Rb8 14.Ne5 winning. The correct Black move is 9...Nxc3, leading to a slight preferable middlegame for him. Thanx Tulkos for your translation: without that the original post would be totally obscure ;D Alex ——— It's all in the endgame — Sanan Sjugirov of Russia was equal first at the world junior but lost on tie break. He played a couple of nice endgames, the first of which I will show today. Opposite coloured bishops can often give the endgame a drawish character, but here (see main illustration) White is effectively a king up. Can you see how he forced the win? Answer below. There was an English success at the World Chess Junior as Anya Corke scored 8.5/13 in the girls section. A Corke (2257) – C Forestier (2103). Dutch Defence ...

Elle mène à une ouverture non équilibrée où le noir ne gagne pas la commande du centre. Alors le noir a un mauvais évêque fermé à clef sur ses propres places. Le bout, noir ne prend pas des morceaux quand il a l'occasion de gagner le territoire. ——— Skilled at the Chessboard, Keyboard and Blackboard — Chess produces prodigies. So do mathematics and music. And while the relationship between chess and mathematics is clear, and many accomplished mathematicians are also skilled musicians, it is unusual to find a prodigy in all three areas. Noam Elkies, who turned 44 on Wednesday, is that rare triple threat. A Manhattan native, he graduated from Stuyvesant High School by age 15, and at the top of his class at Columbia University three years later. He earned a Ph.D. in mathematics from Harvard at 20. He became the youngest winner of the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition for undergraduates when he was 16. Ten years later, he became the youngest full professor in ...

Giuoco Piano doesn't features d2-d4, but d2-d3 and a slower developement ("giuoco piano" = slow game). Alex ——— David Howell neglects British title defence to seek tougher challenges — England's youngest chess grandmaster David Howell, 19, made an ambitious and bold decision last month, when he opted to miss defending the British title he won in 2009. Instead Howell decided to test himself at higher levels, at three strong European chess events in two of which he was seeded near the bottom. The policy looked dubious in the early rounds of the young grandmasters invitation at Biel, Switzerland where Howell began with 1.5/6. But the Sussex teenager, who sometimes used to fade under pressure, fought back to a solid 3½/9. Then he made a strong 8½/11 total in the highly rated world rapids (30-minute games) in Mainz, Germany, losing only to Russia's elite GM Sergey Karjakin. This ...

Bf4 Qb4 I think I must to give the pawn before ? and do you know the name of this opening? ——— A Nimble Chess Artist — The former U.S. chess champion Hikaru Nakamura is fast. The quicker the pace on the chess board, the more he seems to enjoy playing. His nimble skills helped him to secure a place for the next traditional Amber tournament, a blindfold and rapid chess extravaganza played every spring on the French Riviera. Competing at the NH tournament in Amsterdam, Nakamura, 22, led the Rising Stars to a 26-24 victory over the chess veterans, the Experience team, on Sunday. Another member of the winning team, the young Dutch champion Anish Giri, 16, had an identical 6-4 score as Hikaru, but only one could qualify for the Amber tournament. In the blitz playoff, Nakamura defeated Giri 2-0, ensuring ...

It analyses the Moller Attack under the Giuoco Piano. The Ruy Lopez is similarly known as 'The Spanish Game' outside the English-speaking world. ——— Dmitry Andreikin wins world junior title — The 49th World Junior Chess Championship ended Monday in Chotowa, Poland. Every country was invited to send its best young chess players, born in 1990 or later. The record field of 120 players, representing 55 countries, included 20 grandmasters and 34 IMs. Russian chess grandmasters Dmitry Andreikin, age 20, and Sanan Sjugirov, 17, shared first place with scores of 10-3. On tiebreak, Andreikin wins the gold medal. Andreikin had played in four previous World Juniors, with a best result of fourth place in 2007. This year, he was rated highest at 2650 and went undefeated despite facing eight GMs. Sjugirov won the most games (eight) but suffered one upset. Four chess players tied for ... Posted by brunetti | uskidscompute.com 8/20/2002 04:22:39 Madcow:Message: 9...Bxc3 after 8...Nxc3 hasn't been mentioned, and is different from 8...Bxc3 and 9...Nxc3 First of all, after 8...Bxc3, correct is 9.d5, and White has only a slight minus. 9.bxc3 is very questionable, since after the correct 9...d5! Black takes the upper hand. 9...Nxc3 is obviously wrong :) In your second game, an Englund Gambit, best is 5.Bd2; all other moves lose material. Anyway, after 5...Qxb2 6.Nc3! followed by Ra1-b1-b3 and e2-e4, White stands better. Once an amateur played with me 5.Nc3, interesting at fast chess because after 5...Qxf4 6.Nd5 White got some play.

Ne5!Message: I think Brunetti is right when he says that 10....d5 is the strongest continuation for black. However, if black is greedy and plays 10...Bxa1 he is going down fast; 11.Bxf7 Kf8 12. Bg5 Ne7 13. Ne5! (as mentioned above 13. Re1 would leave black with enough compensation for his queen). The game could continue 13. ...Bxd4 14.
