| Posted by elovater uskidscompute.com 5/19/2003 07:28:14 Play online chess | I don´t think so... Message: I´ve been playing correspondence chess for a year and my main reason was from the beginning: I wanted to improve my OTB skills. CC helps me testing out some openings (a better way to learn theory than to learn from books) and you very soon get a better intuition for what to do in a type of position. I think it helped me a lot. I was OTB 2100 before and I´m 2200+ now, had my first performance over 2600 and it´s not the pure rating it´s that I´m really feeling that I have a deeper understanding and got simply stronger. And: I never had the feeling that I had to interrupt a game for taking an in-depth-analysis, there was no effect on how I was handling time control. So - keep on playing and soon you´ll be a better player! Kind regards. Frank ——— The Scotch Opening, part 5: a dynamic endgame opportunity — How does White do something with this passive position? Howell-Werle, London 2009. White to play. Concluding our brief survey of the Scotch (1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 exd4 4 Nxd4), we look at the kind of dynamic endgame struggle that can arise from this old but still important chess opening. RB White's position after 1 exf5 Nxf5 2 Re1 (or 2 e4, or 2 Kd2) is so passive – and the e-pawn likely to be a long-term weakness – that White's best chance is to push with 1 e5. Assuming Black takes (1...d5 2 Na4 followed by Nc5 would give the white knight a great post ) with 1...dxe5, White has 2 Bc4, developing his bishop ... |

Regard MaCa ——— Chess notes — All eyes this week were on the Corus chess tournament at Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands, which had about everything one could hope for: drama, contention, star players, and great chess. The event’s sponsor, Corus, is a steel manufacturing and construction company, which was recently acquired by Tate Steel, India’s second largest privately held company. This corporation is a sponsor of many athletic and cultural events throughout Europe and hopefully will continue this great chess event in future years. The “Corus Line’’ in this tourney included, among its 14 contestants, nearly all of the world’s leading Grandmasters, except for Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria and Levon Aronian of ... |
| Posted by anaxagoras uskidscompute.com 5/22/2003 22:48:32 Play online chess | Message: Not to be contentious, but I absolutely disagree. A player's capacity for "vision" is parasitic upon his concrete technique and practice. In other words, the more you practice, test and experiment with combinations otb, the more your capacity for "vision" should be improved. This is not to say that practice at visualizing combinations or sequences will not improve your powers of visualization, but that focussing on chess pieces you can see should not conceivably harm your "vision." ——— World's No. 1 Chess Player Widens Lead Over His Biggest Rivals — History will record 1990 as a great year for chess players: it was when three of the current top 25 players in the world were born. The youngest of the three is Magnus Carlsen of Norway, who is No. 1 in the world. Of the other two, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave of France is No. 18, and Sergey Karjakin, who was born in Ukraine but now plays for Russia, is No. 21. Under different circumstances, Karjakin and Vachier-Lagrave would be considered potential world chess champions. But just as the talented players in the 2003 N.B.A. draft have labored in LeBron James’s shadow, Karjakin and Vachier-Lagrave have been eclipsed by Carlsen. In Karjakin’s case, it is puzzling. He was the youngest ... |

Bye the way who am i quoting I dont remember! ——— Vishy Anand helps Magnus Carlsen to claim Corus crown — When Vishy Anand drew his first nine games at Corus Wijk aan Zee last week, opinions were divided on whether the world chess champion had lost his edge or was simply taking a well-paid rest before his April title defence in Sofia against Veselin Topalov. Then Anand acted as Corus king-maker, beating Alexei Shirov and Vlad Kramnik, so that the pair finished half a point behind Magnus Carlsen. Norway's world No1 had previously won at Pearl Spring in China and the London Classic and finished second at the Tal Memorial, His fine run continued at Wijk, and the live ratings now make him the all-time No2 to Garry Kasparov. Carlsen had final-round luck in Holland, and the impression is that ... |

Message: I perceive correspondence chess to be a way of a meditation for me; it helps me clear my mind as I focus on the game, and I enjoy to explore all the possible combinations that a certain board can present, but I can tell you for certain that it has it's drawbacks; when I go to my newly discovered chess club the old guys wipe the floor with me when playing speed chess. Are they simply much better or am I getting slower? Hmmm... ——— Fresh ideas from Adams — The Governor of Gibraltar Sir Adrian Johns visited the Gibtelecom Masters at the Caleta Hotel and chose the day the chess competition intensified as England’s Michael Adams regained a share of the lead with a ninth round win. Adams produced a new idea in the opening against the French Defence and although it did not look particularly dangerous he gradually outplayed the Argentinian GM Damian Lemos to reach 7/9. All the games were hardfought with the exception of the top board where the leader at start of play Jan Gustafsson was content to force an early draw against top seed Etienne Bacrot. With one to play Adams shares the lead with ... |
