| Posted by nottop uskidscompute.com 9/05/2002 19:20:00 | Yes Message: Bad behavior. Appreciate seeing the information - can chalk up someone as a player I'm not going to play. But don't let this detract from the tremendous pleasure of the game. If you do, he will succeed in his purpose. Just get on with your other games - and when he comes back from vacation he will resign or be mated. Chess has too much happiness for it to be ruined by something like this. |

Nice game though. //Oscar PS you could write to Mike... ——— New Way to Crown Winners in Chess Games That End in Ties — Tournaments that end in ties are a problem in chess, and how to break them — or whether to even try — is a thorny topic. Some chess tournaments use complicated scoring systems to determine a winner. But what fan understands that a new chess champion is the player with the higher Sonneborn-Berger score? People want the winner to be decided in a competition, not by a calculator. Tie-breaker games have their own problems. If they keep ending in draws, it may be days or even weeks before one player wins. And White always has an advantage, so each player needs a turn at that color. So-called Armageddon games emerged a few years ago. These are one-game playoffs ... |

The chess tournament was held in Odessa, Ukraine, organized by the Association of Chess Professionals and sponsored by Pivdennyi Bank. Karjakin is originally from Ukraine, but last year he changed federations, moving to Russia. At the time, he said that “he didn’t have enough support inside the country, in Ukraine,” adding, “I also need to train with good coaches and there are a few good coaches in Russia.” The very best chess players — Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion; Magnus Carlsen of Norway; Veselin Topalov ... |

The incumbent since 1995 is Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, controversial ruler of Russia's semi-autonomous Caucasian state Kalmykia. In his early years as Fide president Ilyumzhinov built a 'chess city', made the game mandatory in Kalmyk schools, and financed grandmaster chess so generously that his dubious human rights record and eccentric claim to have met "humanoid aliens" were shrugged off. But recently Fide's excessive reliance on ex-Soviet tournament venues and an autocratic rule change where a chess player loses if not seated at the board at the start have ... |

In an odd finish to the 24-player event, Kamsky drew to break a tie with Yury Shulman of Chicago. The chess tournament began with seven conventional rounds. Then top scorers Kamsky, Shulman, Alexander Onischuk (Baltimore) and 2009 chess champion Hikaru Nakamura (St. Louis) qualified for a round robin to determine the top four places. Kamsky and Shulman scored 2-1, while Nakamura and Onischuk tied for third at 1-2. In the game that decided the title of chess champion and the $30,000 first prize, Kamsky chose to play Black with draw odds and 25 minutes against Shulman's 60 minutes. Shulman gained ... |

Best regards, macheide. ——— The Catalan chess opening part 1: how does White avert this crisis? — The classic chess opening served Anand well in his chess world championship matches. But how best to exploit its strengths? The Catalan opening gave Anand two wins in the world chess championship, and has long been popular among the world's elite. It is basically a Queen's Gambit in which White fianchettos. It can be reached via several different move orders, for example: 1 d4 d5 2 c4 e6 3 Nf3 Nf6 4 g3, or 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 g3 d5 4 Bg2. The bishop is tricky on the long diagonal, and the fianchetto provides a safe king position after castling. RB I've always tended to get the Catalan confused with the Bogo-Indian, various Benoni systems, and even ... |
