Play online chess |  Subject: Pirc and King's Indian
Message:
Friends,
what are to your opinion the principal differences
between Pirc and King's Indian?
At first glance I see one: in Pirc, White does not play c4, also seldom f3 (Saemisch).
What strategical differences does this imply?
Sincerely yours,
brulla

I think the moves by black are the same in both openings, albeit different move order. The Kings Indian is played against 1d4 and the Pirc is played against 1e4.
The Austrian attack of the Pirc goes 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.f4 bg7 5. Nf3 0-0 Then usually 6.Bd3 although 6 0-0 is also popular.

Disqualified by Evidence on a Phone — A German master was disqualified from his country’s chess championship tournament this month, done in by his cellphone. Officials determined that the master, Christoph Natsidis, 23, had consulted a computer program on his smartphone during his game against the grandmaster Sebastian Siebrecht in the last round. Natsidis made repeated trips to the bathroom, for 8 to 10 minutes at a time. Siebrecht offered him a draw, which Natsidis accepted. Afterward, a tournament referee asked to see Natsidis’s phone and found a chess program on it with a position from the game. A message sent to Natsidis’s Facebook page asking him for comment was not answered. Natsidis’s disqualification cost ...

Play online chess | Some strategic points
Message:
1. Playing c4 and then Nc3 is slower than just Nc3.
2. Playing c4 makes it less safe for White to castle queenside, although White does so anyway in some lines of the King's Indian.
3. Playing c4 limits the scope of White's light-squared bishop.
4. Playing c4 increases White's control over the center, especially over d5, and gives White more space to work with.
5. Playing c4 slows down a queenside pawn expansion by Black by increasing control over b5.
An f3/Be3 system in the Pirc is perfectly respectable.

Vishy Anand crushes Alexey Shirov with bravura performance — Vishy Anand, the world chess champion, has responded to the limp draws in the candidates matches and the surprise victory there of Israel's Boris Gelfand by restating his own credentials with a bravura performance. Anand's chess match in Leon against Spain's ex-Latvian No1 Alexey Shirov was only one-hour rapid chess but the Indian won it in style, 4.5-1.5. His three wins included the brilliancy below plus a move six novelty as Black in the solid Caro-Kann which proved so strong that the demoralised Shirov resigned his wretched position as early as move 17. At 41 Anand keeps himself in excellent professional shape. Spain is his European base and he splits his time between training there with ...

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.

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 ...

that in the KID it becomes closed a lot and white will play for Q-side attack and black will go for a dangerous Q-sadie attack, I don't see that in the pric, mostly it is black on the Q-side/center and white in the K-side/center

Improve your endgame play — Finishing a chess game can be a difficult task. 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 ...

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 ...
