| Posted by chris21 uskidscompute.com 1/10/2003 11:23:54 Play online chess |  Subject: Fischer beaten or not beaten?Message: I know this isn't new news to most people here at gameknot, especially the players who know a lot about Fischer such as edmaster, but I have for the first time read Bobby fischers account of how he was beaten by police men and treated like dirt by them while in custardy for something he did not do! I think I remember people at gameknot saying he made it all up or something like that, but I can't remember for sure. Is it supposed to be true? If it is then I think the offending police officers should be hung! |

Bobby Fischer, believable? ——— Chess: The best form of defence — It may be a cliche, but in a tight spot attacking can be the best way forward. RB: Hands up those of you who plumped for 1 Rb1. There's no disgrace if you did. Peter Leko, rated 2743 when he played this game, opted for exactly that and went on to draw. It's the move I thought of when I first came across the game, in Drazen Marovic's Secrets of Positional Chess – but is it the best? After a series of miserable failures on my part, the boot's on the other foot this week – it's Dan's turn to solve the chess puzzle. DK: Black's rook has just swept down to c2 attacking the pawn on b2, and although that could be defended with 1 Rb1, my gut feeling tells me not to look at this too deeply ... |

Mettlesome ——— America Has a New Chess Grandmaster and Three New International Masters — United States chess has rarely, if ever, had a week like the one that ended Saturday. On Saturday, four Americans earned titles at the Berkeley International chess tournament. Samuel Shankland, 19, the reigning United States Junior Champion, became a grandmaster, while Keaton Kiewra, 23, Daniel Naroditsky, 15, and Conrad Holt, 17, all qualified as international masters. Kiewra actually earned a grandmaster norm — the first of three needed for the title — but he still must raise his international rating above 2,400 to satisfy the requirements for the international master title. That is often less difficult than achieving the norms. Tatev Abrahamyan, 22 (she will be 23 on Thursday), earned ... |

Rafael ——— China Rises, and Checkmates — If there’s a human face on Rising China, it belongs not to some Politburo chief, not to an Internet tycoon, but to a quiet, mild-mannered teenage girl named Hou Yifan. Ms. Hou (whose name is pronounced Ho Ee-fahn) is an astonishing phenomenon: at 16, she is the new women’s world chess champion, the youngest person, male or female, ever to win a world chess championship. And she reflects the way China — by investing heavily in education and human capital, particularly in young women — is increasingly having an outsize impact on every aspect of the world. Napoleon is famously said to have declared, “When China wakes, it will shake the world.” That is becoming ... |

But very harshley punished, it was disgusting! ——— David Howell surprised at Hastings Masters by young Indians — The 2011 version of the world's longest-running annual chess tournament, kept alive and well by Hastings Borough Council, ended on Wednesday with a tense final round and an upset result. England's youngest chess grandmaster, David Howell, 20, won his first five games but then lost tamely to France's No1 seed, Romain Edouard, who became the sole leader. It seemed the European GMs would fight out first prize until the little-known young Indians surged to the front in the final two rounds in an impressive breakthrough. Deep Sengupta, 22, beat Edouard in what was voted the best game of the chess event and shared the £2,000 top award on 7/9 with Arghyadip Das, 25, while ... |

Gashimov and Vallejo Pons were tied for the lead before the last round and both easily drew their games to finish a point ahead of their nearest competitors with 6 points each.

| Posted by certainratio uskidscompute.com 1/13/2003 06:50:11 Play online chess | true story Message: I read letters that Fischer hhimself wrote describing the account, and I must say they were very believable. I find it hard to believe that he could have made them up. You might be able to do an internet search to try to find these letters. They are posted at some fischer tribute page that also has all of his games. Here are some of the details I remember: Fischer was apprehended on the street as he was walking. The police probably didn't like how he looked. They detained him and asked him questions like "What is your name?" "What is your profession?" When Fischer told them he was the world chess champion (even though I think this was after he forfeitted the title), that's when the cops started giving him a hard time. They brought him to jail for no reason (except maybe they thought he was homeless because Fischer couldn't remember his own address, but he could point to the building where he lived down the street) and they treated him very badly, like forcing him to lie in his jail cell naked with no blankets. He was cold and he unzipped his mattress to get inside. Later, they kept him in jail longer (or maybe fined him) for destroying the mattress, even though he did not destroy it. They played mental games with him. What struck me as the most heart-wrenching part of the story was that Fischer always told the truth, about who he was, what he was doing, about the mattress, everything..., but the cops kept telling lies. Fischer seemed quite inflamed on that point, calling the cops liars. He gave the cops' names in the letter, and the location of the building where he was kept. And dates too. All very real sounding. He may have mentioned the cops hitting him (or maybe even beating him), but honestly I can't recall if he claimed this or not in his letter. But the humiliation and his utter loss of freedom and rights for 2-5 days was much worse than a physical beating anyway. |
