| Posted by commodore uskidscompute.com 1/04/2004 04:48:52 Play online chess | Soren Message: Where are you on the list, maybe 101? ——— Shooting the chess rapids for the holiday season — The holidays are traditionally a season of hustle and bustle, so what better time is there for holding a major rapid chess championship? Georgian GM Baadur Jobava emerged as the new European rapid chess champion, topping a high-powered field this month with a 9-2 score in Warsaw. Once something of a curiosity, the rapid Game/25 format is now firmly ensconced in international play, with the faster time control often leading to more combative and aggressive play while allowing an entire continent to hold an 11-round championship tournament over the course of a long three-day weekend. While not as chaotic (and random) as faster blitz chess play can be, rapid is clearly a different animal than chess played at ... |
| Posted by henwick uskidscompute.com 1/04/2004 05:40:46 Play online chess | Answer for sano Message: It's the number of rateable games they have played in the latest rating period (3 months). ——— Chess: Working the variations — Is there any way through Black's solid defence? How can he increase the pressure on Black's position? RB: If only my rooks were doubled on the e-file maybe I could put pressure on the knight on e7, but in the time it would take to get my heavy pieces lined up, Black would be able to deal with any threat – 1 Re2 Ng6 2 Rae1 Rxe2 3 Qxe2. I'm left in control of the e-file but how does that look? Not too bad, I suppose, but also not very exciting. Is there something better? I can't see any tactics, so maybe the thing to do is to try to take advantage of the weak dark squares on Black's queenside. If I could put my knight on c5 and my queen on d4, I'd be a very happy bunny. Trouble is, I don't ... |

Here is the full link:www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=1400 commodore, what do you mean, I am on the list, don't you recognice me?? Whenever shall we have a game, I have played thru some of your games and I see a lot of potential there. May I have the honor of trying to "spoil" your beautiful record, just let me know! Best wishes Cairo ——— Chess: Tournament Life Isn’t Always Glamorous — Traveling is part of the life of a chess player. Sometimes the destination is glamorous — London or Gibraltar — but elite chess tournaments are often held in out-of-the-way places that do not top many tourist lists. The last four World Chess Cups have been held in the Siberian city of Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia. The Women’s World Chess Championship last month was in Tirana, Albania. And several top chess events have taken place in Elista, the capital of Kalmykia — a dusty Russian republic on the Caspian Sea. Sometimes the remoteness of the location is not the issue. In 2004, the World Chess Federation held its championship in Tripoli, Libya, and none of the Israeli qualifiers competed. The current ... |
| Posted by loreta uskidscompute.com 1/04/2004 08:17:14 Play online chess | my 2 cents Message: Soren, I think, commodore asked where are you on top100 FIDE list... :-) ——— On Chess: Old veteran Kramnikstill showing spunk — At 36, Vladimir Kramnik is at a turning point that is problematic for many chess grandmasters. Faced with an onslaught of energetic younger chess players, the veteran competitors’ results often decline. And so it has been for Kramnik. Dissatisfied with his uninspiring performances of late, however, the former world chess champion seems to have ramped up his aggressiveness. Most recently, he finished first — ahead of several of the best chess players — in the world’s jewel of annual tournaments: the London Chess Classic in Britain. He did it professionally but conservatively by drawing with each of the top chess players — Viswanathan Anand, Levon Aronian, Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura — while piling up wins against ... |
| Posted by henwick uskidscompute.com 1/04/2004 08:53:41 Play online chess | To Cairo Message: I am pretty sure the number IS the number of games played in the rating period and not their change in rating. On ChessBase the column is headed "Gms" and the accompanying text gives examples of how much players' ratings have changed. These changes do not all correspond to the number in the column. See also www.fide.com/ratings/download/top100s.txt for confirmation :) ——— Gawain Jones and David Howell go extra Miles in search of success — England's first chess grandmaster, the late Tony Miles, liked to call himself a globetrotter. Miles often played in chess events in widely distant countries with scarcely a break between tournaments, and once he rang from Heathrow to tell me he had missed a prizegiving in Vienna to fly to a Teesside weekender which was part of the UK Grand Prix. Miles believed that his pragmatic approach helped him be resilient, in touch with tactical novelties, and eager for victory. It worked well at his peak in his mid-twenties, though fatigue later took its toll. Now England's youngest GMs Gawain Jones, 24, and David Howell, 20, have adopted a version of the Miles strategy as they seek to match the 2700-rated world chess elite. ... |
