I say there will be many younger players in future to achieve fantastic results at young age just for this reason. yours bluebabygirl |
| Posted by lordnguyenvo uskidscompute.com 5/28/2003 20:28:28 play online chess | Message: There are a lot of young GMs out there and I dont think they are all geniuses. I agree about the larger and easier-to-reach database,it really helps a lot.But if you just give them a load of games to watch without explanations or teaching then they still get whipped by experienced players.Maybe there are some combo lead to this great success like good mentor+database+spend a great deal of time to study chess,etc. |
| Posted by verticalchess uskidscompute.com 5/28/2003 20:33:35 play online chess | Well... Message: some children have a natural gift for chess - that coupled with practice, knowledge, experience, etc = obvious success. All others must work that much harder to acheive the same results! |
| Posted by chesstickle uskidscompute.com 5/29/2003 05:24:15 play online chess | teached Message: training must be much better with much greater access to vast databases. software with top analysis, better food etc. The early great players had none of this, and thats why they were rubbish at chess. |
| Posted by tulkos uskidscompute.com 5/29/2003 06:20:33 play online chess | Well, Message: They had a natural talent to begin with, their parents spent a lot of time money and energy on them, etc. |
| Posted by chess_champion uskidscompute.com 5/29/2003 14:25:39 play online chess | LOL Message: at what chesstickle said... that just made me crack up... the statement about early great players being rubbish at chess... this is not the first thread hes posted at in which he states early players being bad. im not saying i agree with it or not but newer players have more chess material available to them then the old greats and that's what makes modern chessplayers better... |
| Posted by bogg uskidscompute.com 5/29/2003 15:22:34 play online chess | Training Message: I have read form two different sources comparisons between learning chess and learning a language. They disagreed on the number of tokens of information necessary to be fluent in chess, one said 50,000 the other thought it was closer to 100,00. The trick is to spend your time learning the necessary and not to spend your time redundantly. Everything I have ever read states that it is far easier to learn a language when you are very young and here the comparison to chess definitely holds. Very few people have become strong players after taking up chess late in their life. Also talent and access to information helps greatly! |
| Posted by buddy2 uskidscompute.com 5/29/2003 20:25:26 play online chess | chess and language Message: Bogg has a point. Read about the Polgar sisters and how their father home-schooled them with a heavy dose of chess, chess, chess. These girls are intellingent, but calling them geniuses begs the question. He would claim it's training. Like language, it has to begin early or it won't work. That's why starting to learn French or Spanish in high school is ridiculous. |
| Posted by buddy2 uskidscompute.com 5/30/2003 08:16:46 play online chess | early players Message: I agree with chess_champion. Early players, like Anderssen or Morphy or Steintz would give the best today a real tussle. I just played through a few games of the Anderssen-Kolisch match, with analysis by Boden, Lowenthal, and Staunton, played in 1861 and was astounded and the strategic and tactical insights of all concerned. Maybe that's why Fischer rated Howard Staunton one of the greatest players of all time. |

| Posted by silverwolfwsc uskidscompute.com 5/30/2003 10:24:10 play online chess | chess and language Message: thats interesting, I am very good at picking up a new language. In high school, i took spanish 1, skipped 2, took 3, skipped 4 and took 5. And i found it fairly easy to do so. In chess, i am , well...., not quite as good at it. I think i have done acceptably well since i only started playing seriously early this year, but still, i dont know if the correlation still sticks if you are older. Maybe though, give me a few years, and we will see if it comes as easily as a language did. (P.S. Even though i know a lot ABOUT spanish from taking the classes, i still cant talk to anyone without sounding like a book, and i cant understand anyone who DOESNT sound like a book very well. Learning a language out of books is rediculous.) |
Chess news: Levon Aronian wins Grand Prix series -- Levon Aronian of Armenia has clinched first prize in the World Chess Federation's Grand Prix series. Aronian won two Russian chess tournaments and finished second recently in Jermuk, Armenia, earning about $116,000 in prize money plus the 75,000-Euro bonus (about $107,000) for the overall best result in the 2008-09 Grand Prix cycle. Vassily Ivanchuk's triumph in Jermuk continued the latest surge (his third in two years) by the always entertaining Ukrainian chess grandmaster. In the past year, Ivanchuk reached a peak rating of 2791, unofficially placing him first in the world, plummeted to 30th at 2701, and rebounded to 2756, unofficially ninth. In four chess events ... Napoleon and Tango -- It was a clever hoax that has fooled the chess world for some time: a game Napoleon Bonaparte allegedly played in 1804 at Malmaison chateau, where he resided with his wife, Josephine. Napoleon's opponent was Josephine's "dame du palais" or lady-in-waiting, Madame du Remusat. There is no doubt that the two played chess against each other. "He did not play well, and never would observe the correct moves," Remusat disclosed in her memoirs. The chess game later was revealed to be the creation of a hoaxter, not played by Napoleon and du Remusat. The game itself is skillfully created. White's first two moves show Napoleon's love for horses and ... Age Showdown -- Clashes between generations encapsulate some of life’s basic dramas: youth versus age and passion versus wisdom. Since 2006, NH Hoteles, a Dutch company, has staged an annual chess tournament that pits a team of five older chess players against a team of five younger ones, with entertaining results. The first three tournaments were won by the youngsters, and the results were close the first two times, ending in scores of 28 to 22 and 26.5 to 23.5. But last year the older chess players were routed, 30 to 15. That rising stars team included two players, Wang Yue of China and Ivan Cheparinov of Bulgaria, who were already among the best in the world. The experienced ... | |
