Message: .....if it isn't ol' edmaster! ——— The Scotch Opening, part 1: an introduction — The Scotch Opening is still played at the highest level. But how does use it to gain control of the centre? Carlsen-Leko, Nanjing 2009. White to play. Over the next few weeks we're going to take a look at the Scotch Opening, which arises after 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 exd4 4 Nxd4. The Scotch is hardly new: it got its name after it was used by chess players from the Edinburgh Chess Club in a correspondence match against London (1824-28). But unlike some of its contemporaries from the romantic era – the King's Gambit, for example – the Scotch remains a solid and respected chess opening. Kasparov was responsible for its modern revival after ... |

I have my head ready for a bashing but only a 24 game match will do, <:)) ——— Viktor Korchnoi versus Boris Spassky — The waning chess year 2009 showed its diminishing strength by giving top billing to a match between two ancient chess warriors - Viktor Korchnoi and Boris Spassky. The duo played an eight-game match in Elista, Republic of Kalmykia, advertised as the Battle of the Giants. Chess fans could watch the play live, provided that they could read Cyrillic. This match featured two silver-haired gentlemen in unusually friendly combat, as no chess championships were involved. Spassky was his usual amiable self and Korchnoi was unusually amiable, even mellow. Spassky and Korchnoi were once bitter opponents contending for the world title. Spassky, 71, has been in virtual retirement for ... |

| Posted by thumper uskidscompute.com 12/14/2004 19:13:30 Play online chess | Hey ED Message: Nice of you to drop by. ——— Chess: The worst of all your possible moves — Oscar Wilde quipped that when a pessimist is given a choice between two evils, the pessimist chooses both. In this week’s chess position black’s king is in check and must move. The king has only one bad choice. All other choices lead toward a draw. Please play the chess pessimist and try to find black’s worst move. White has a small space advantage. This should not be enough to win, however. With the rooks on the board and an equal number of pawns the game should be drawn. If black king retreats to b7 or d7, black maintains the balance. The one choice that loses is moving the king to d5. This allows the white rook to slide over to d3, checking black. After ... |

Best wishes Cairo ——— The game enjoys a calmer decade — After the turbulent 1990s, the world of chess needed a calmer period. Here are my reflections on the past decade and a few guesses about the future: Bobby Fischer, probably the most famous chess player ever, died in 2008. Fischer had not played publicly since 1992, but he grabbed attention with vile anti-American statements and a long battle to avoid extradition from Japan. He eventually won the battle, sparing chess fans and the U.S. government more embarrassment, and spent his final years in exile in Iceland. His "improved" version of the game, Fischer random chess, has attracted few adherents. Garry Kasparov, another colossal chess figure, retired in 2005. He quickly ... |
