We know that you have worked hard on your game, and is it nice to see the results! Best of luck to you with the rest of your games! John ——— Chess notes — In a review of Diego Rasskin-Gutman’s book “Chess Metaphors’’ (MIT Press), which deserves special attention by chess lovers, former world chess champion Garry Kasparov has published in The New York Review of Books a retrospective look at the development of chess machines. He also expresses a hope for the future. It is strange to this column that Kasparov ever thought that he would be a worthy opponent of chess computers. The computers have so many advantages over human beings in playing chess that it is hardly a fair fight. The chess computer memory is simply a copying device, the machine can look at any number of books on chess openings, and ...

John ——— The f-pawn, part 3: a blunt but effective attack? — Punting the f-pawn down the chess board may be desperate but it sometimes gets results. The Grand Prix Attack. White has just offered the f-pawn. How should Black reply? RB We've been using the metaphor of route-one football in our survey of the f-pawn advance, and while we all know from experience that the long, hopeful punt down the park can produce the occasional goal, this looks to me just a little too early and a little too crude. The team is barely on the pitch and the ball has already been booted up the other end. On principle alone it seems wrong. I can't decide whether Black's best response is 1…exf5 or simply to continue with ...

John ——— Vietnamese surprise in Moscow — The Aeroflot Open, arguably the strongest open chess tournament ever, ended Feb. 19 in Moscow. The field of 80 included 75 chess grandmasters. The surprising winner of 21,000 Euros (about $28,000) for first place was 18-year-old Le Quang Liem of Vietnam, who scored an undefeated 7-2. His success followed his tie for first place in the Moscow Open, another GM-heavy chess tournament, a day before the start of the Aeroflot Open. Entering the last round of the Aeroflot Open, Le shared the lead with his countryman Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son, 19. Le defeated 2009 winner Ian Nepomniachtchi (Russia), while Nguyen lost to GM Anton Korobov (Ukraine), who took ... Posted by philosophia | uskidscompute.com 6/07/2005 03:59:12 Play online chess Message: Go team!! ——— A Chess Player’s Attacks Pay Off, Even When They Shouldn’t — Computer chess programs are so popular, and so good, that almost anybody can use one to figure out where a chess player went wrong — when the game is over. But at the chess board, competitors can rely only on their brains and wits (unless they are cheating) and are bound to make mistakes, especially when they are under pressure. One reason why Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria is so good is that he forces opponents to make mistakes. Ranked No. 2 in the world, he is an aggressive chess player who is always trying to attack. There are problems with this approach, when being aggressive is not justified. But the constant pressure that he places on his opponents often ...

John ——— Vishy Anand saves his strength before world match with Veselin Topalov — Vishy Anand, who defends his world title against Veselin Topalov at Sofia in April, kept his powder dry in his warm-up chess event at Corus Wijk where the Indian, 40, played at full force in only a few games. In contrast Topalov, 34, has played hard in almost every game this week at the Linares elite chess tournament in Andalusia, where he won first prize with 6.5/10, half a point ahead of Russia's Alex Grischuk. The Bulgarian squeezed points from tiny advantages and by round six had regained the world No1 spot on the live chess ratings from Magnus Carlsen. These daily updated rankings have a huge following and their prestige is now not far short of ... Posted by terryaki | uskidscompute.com 6/08/2005 21:51:09 Play online chess Congratulations on Win!
