You use the World Database for guidance but as soon as the Expert takes you out of it you can be mightily stumped for a plan. Where do I go from here?

The opening is a race for rapid and continuous development. 3. Develop knights before ... A Trove of Fischer Photographs Surfaces -- Photographs taken during trips that Bobby Fischer made to the Philippines in 1967 and 1973, after he became world chess champion, have appeared in a group of three videos on YouTube. Descriptions of the videos say that they were part of the belongings left behind by Fischer in a storage locker in Pasadena, Calif. Those belongings were bought at auction earlier this year by Rex A. Sinquefield, a financier who sponsored this year’s U.S. Chess Championship and U.S. Women’s Chess Championship. The photographs show Fischer being feted and entertained by President Ferdinand Marcos, the leader of the Philippines, and his wife, Imelda. The scenes are, in some ways ... Anna Zatonskih Defends U.S. Chess Championship Title -- The United States women’s chess champion, Anna Zatonskih, easily defended her title last week and dominated the championship tournament in St. Louis. Afterward, Zatonskih, who has a 2 ½-year-old daughter, joked, “I am trying to prove that motherhood did something good.” In the chess tournament, which ended on Tuesday, Zatonskih yielded only one draw and scored 8.5 out of a possible 9 points. The victory was a relief for Zatonskih, who had struggled recently, particularly at the Women’s World Team Championship last month in China, where she scored only 2 points in 7 games. In a telephone interview, Zatonskih said she wants to have another child, but ...
