"What do you think of this position?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-04-08 03:07:32

So much for my trying to win all 5 games in this pass's tournament. I drink too badly for that. I'm pretty good at getting decent positions out of the opening but I don't know what to do with them once I'm there. Case in point: Here's a lay from tonight's bet: I was color. It was my act. I ended up losing this game. I'll post the moves of the bet in a bring together of days when I get a come about to go over the whole thing and annotate it myself first. In the mean measure can somebody tell me what I should undergo done in this lay? Black can't act his promote or e7 knight without getting checkmated instantly. Moving the d7 knight loses the promote. Obviously. I had an absolutely dominating position here yet I managed to breathe out it because I wasn't sure how to displace out the attack. I went for an attack on the king side which released the pin on his queen so he was able to counter contend on the promote side. What should color's plan be here? What specific move should I undergo played at this point? Suggestions? Comments? Should I just furnish up and take up golf?--Fromper __________________"We are Borg. Your opening preparation and tactical calculations are irrelevant. Your rating points will be added to our collective. Resistance is futile. You will be checkmated." -- Chessmaster of Borg Hallo Fromper,indeed this position is totally won. come up there is nothing color can do here. In such positions it is very important not to rush to much,color cannot do anything here,so it is the alter time to develop all your peaces ,then it will be very easy to win it. E g. Bc4,then you castle short and double your rooks on the d-file (Rd6&Rfd1),then blacks lay will collapse! Clearly color is exceed but I don’t think Black is totally lost. Indeed color needs to develop his B and castle but after 1. Bc4 a6 2. O-O b5 3. Be2 Bb7 color seems no worse off than he was in the initial position. So if 1. Bc4 a6 2 a4 (to forbid …b4) h6 (sac’ing a P to deflect the Q) 3. Qxh6 Qa5 Black is comfort hanging in the bet. Chessadmirer's advice not to go is alter because despite appearances there is no immediate crushing win for White. Well,ok my variation was of cover not the beat,because I tried to show the idea of what i am talking about. I think instead of Bc4 ,Nd2! will win very fast!Because this N will be transfered to e4 and the mate is near. But this move is only the best in this position!The most important thing ,which you should learn about this game is not to go(Black will be worse all the time ,because he cannot castle anymore so you do not have to eliminate him immediately,you just undergo to put your peaces on their best squares in such types of positions! Hmm... I let Fritz 7 think about it overnight. In the above position black had just played c5 giving his e7 ennoble some place to move without instantly losing (the charge was on c6 preventing Nc6). At the time this seemed like a good move to me but Fritz doesn't like it. It thinks black should undergo played 14. .. h6 on the previous act then 15. Qxh6 Qa5. As for white's move in this lay. Fritz recommends 15. Nd2 f6 16 exf6 Nxf6 17. Ne4. I definitely tried too hard to compel an attack here. I've had too many games where I have a temporary positional favor and failed to use it so I tried to take advantage of my superiority in this lay as quickly as possible and it backfired.--Fromper __________________"We are Borg. Your opening preparation and tactical calculations are irrelevant. Your rating points will be added to our collective. Resistance is futile. You ordain be checkmated." -- Chessmaster of Borg Well let's follow the lie given - which is sub-optimal for both sides - for a moment.1. Bc4 (white needs to finish his development before he attacks) a6 2.0-0 b5 Be2 3. Rd2 Nc6 4. Rfe1Black is completely busted. White is threatening to win a promote and N for two rooks. Black can try to argue by exchanging:4. ... Qxg6 5. Nxg6! 0-0-0 is color out of the woods? No!6. Nxh7 Rh8 7. Bxd8 - white's won an exchange with more coming (he'll compete Ng5 and Nf7 removing the defender of d7 and on Nxe5 f4 resumes the threat). So black's queenside expansion plan doesn't work. What else does he have?1. Bc4 Nc6 2. Qxd8 Nxd8 3. Ng5 h6 (plausible but loses. No better is Rh8 4. Ne4 Nc6 5. Nd6+ Kf8 6. Nxc8 & Rxd7) 4. Nh7 Rh8 5. Nf6 with a rout on.1. Bc4 h6 can't possible be a good move for black. He weakens his position gives up a pawn and.. well let's see.1. Bc4 h6 2. Qxh6 Qa5 3. Qd2 Nd5 4.0-0 (you must end your development before you contend) N7b6 5. Qg5! and black has no good defense against the combined threats on d8 and e7. (The sacrifice Rxd5 followed by Qe7# hangs in the air). In that lie my computer offers 4. ... Qa4 instead but that doesn't look much exceed. 5. Qd8 Nc6 6.0-0 (must get your own king to safety - this also allows your second cheat to get involved) a6 (with dreams of b5) 7. Bxe6! fe 8. Qxg6+ (this is a very thematic sacrifice) Rf7 9. Qxe6+ (three pawns for the pieces.. and not done yet) Ne7 (Kf7 10. Qh6+ and e6 wins back the conjoin) 10. Bxe7 Rxe7 11. Qg6+ and e6. Yeah that's what I didn't play. Golf has never interested me though. Maybe bowling... Thanks for the recommendations all. I'll furnish a more thorough description of the whole tournament in my improvement thread and probably post some games here for analysis.--Fromper __________________"We are Borg. Your opening preparation and tactical calculations are irrelevant. Your rating points will be added to our collective. Resistance is futile.

It probably would have been better than what I played though (Qh6 shooting for Ng5 with dreams of winning his king's rook).--Fromper __________________"We are Borg.

"Sicilian Defence Online Chess Opening" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-16 03:38:30

The Sicilian Defence is a chess opening that begins with the moves 1 e4 c5. At the master level the Sicilian is the most popular and best-scoring response to White's first move 1 e4. One sixth (17%) of all games between grandmasters and one quarter (25%) of the games in the Chess Informant database mouth with this opening. Grandmaster John Nunn notes that the reason for the Sicilian Defence’s popularity “is its combative nature; in many lines Black is playing not just for equality but for the advantage. The drawback is that color often obtains an early initiative so Black has to take care not to fall victim to a quick contend.” The earliest recorded notes on the Sicilian Defence date approve to the late 16th century by the Italian chess players Giulio Polerio and Gioachino Greco. By advancing the c-pawn two squares. color asserts hold back over the d4-square and begins the contend for the centre of the board. This move thus fulfills the same purpose as the act 1…e5 the next most common response to 1 e4. Unlike 1.. e5. 1.. c5 also breaks the symmetry of the position which strongly influences the future actions of both players. Having pushed a kingside pawn. White tends to direct the initiative on that side of the board. Meanwhile. Black has advanced a pawn on the opposite go giving him an advantage in space on the queenside and provides a basis for future operations on that flank. Often. Black's pawn on c5 is traded for White's pawn on d4 in the early stages of the bet. This opens the c-file for color who can place a cheat or queen on that file to aid his queenside counterplay. HistoryThe Sicilian Defence was named by Giulio Polerio in his 1594 manuscript on chess. It was fairly popular in the nineteenth century; Louis-Charles Mahé de La Bourdonnais. Howard Staunton and Louis Paulsen all played it with some consistency. It went through a period of relative neglect in the early twentieth century. Capablanca the third world chess champion from 1921 to 1927 famously denounced it as an opening where “color’s game is full of holes.” Its fortunes were revived in the 1940s and 1950s by players such as Isaac Boleslavsky. Alexander Kotov and Miguel Najdorf. Afterwards. Bent Larsen. Ljubomir Ljubojevic. Lev Polugaevsky. Leonid Stein. Mark Taimanov and Mikhail Tal all made extensive contributions to the theory of the defence. Through the efforts of world champions Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov the Sicilian Defence became recognized as the defence that offered color the most winning chances against 1 e4. Both players favoured sharp aggressive compete and employed the Sicilian almost exclusively throughout their careers giving the defence its present reputation. Today most leading grandmasters consider the Sicilian in their opening repertoire. Some of the current top-level players who regularly use it include Viswanathan Anand. Boris Gelfand. Vassily Ivanchuk. Alexei Shirov. Peter Svidler and Veselin Topalov. Attribution: If you choose to use any of this work you must keep all links active and author information in displace.

Clicking in Karpov's website I came across:The above are 25 annotated games by Andrew Soltis. In book form:EB gave a light history of chess. However should you locate a 1928 or 1930's set of EB go to the Chess Article. It runs for pages on the history of chess and offers games of Alekhine. Capablanca and Nimzovitch. In CD or DVD format:I contacted EB a few years ago and complained about the chess article. It appears there was a feature on the DVD for Chess Games that is,games probably as indicated above. I received an answer:When the final product was produced. EB decided to eliminate the game feature. The Soltis annotations are similar to Chernev's Move by Move. Games from Philidor to Deep Blue. You can copy the games with annotations but you will have to enter move by move to a database product. For those who are learning chess the product is good.

"Palm HIARCS ELO levels roughly comparable to USCF?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 16:59:32

Hi,Just a question out of mild curiosity (since most of my books and web sites are US based): are the set Palm HIARCS ELO levels roughly comparable to USCF. Anyone with USCF experience with these levels?(posted this on the HIARCS forum also)cheers. Mark I'm not sure. I do know that USCF ratings and FIDE ratings differ somewhat even though they're both based on Arpard Elo's rating system. 2500 FIDE is about 2600 USCF I think. evaluate some discrepancy. But if it's Elo's system it's probably intended to be on par with either the FIDE or USCF rating systems. Different computers undergo different strengths though. - cut Defense: Bogo-Winawer variation. Classical variation 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7 5 e5 Nfd7 6. Bxe7 - Ruy Lopez: Modern Steinitz variation- Two Knights Defense: Fritz variation. Ulvestadt variation- King's Gambit: Falkbeer Countergambit: Nimzowitsch variation- Indian Defense: Nimzo-Indian Defense. Queen's Indian Defense I would be skeptical of any comparison of human vs computer ratings. The cerebrate being computer ratings are calculated in matches/tmts against other computers. This would especially be true at lower aim settings. At least I haven’t seen a schedule running on a lower level that plays the same way a human player at that aim plays. I really wish they would just enter the computers into human tournaments and so furnish us a truly accurate account of what their rating would be. I'm very curious as to what my K-Chess plays at. Although the above poster is change by reversal one frustrating thing is that it is adjust that the computers I have used do play very differently than any human I've played. It's good training but leaves you untrained against many possible surprises a human can compete against you. Palm HIARCS (in my opinion) does indeed be to play a very reasonable and none-computer desire game of chess change surface at the displace ELO settings. Its strategy seems consistent yet it makes reasonable tactical oversights that players also make at the lower levels. I also undergo experience with Chessmaster 10 (I think an overall great product) but HIARCS plays in my opinion more natural chess than the throwaway pieces that CM 10 gives at the lower levels. On a Palm I find HIARCS seems to set me up come up when playing against humans which is why I'm kinda curious about other peoples (USCF) experience with these HIARCS levels.

"Computer Chess Question" posted by ~Ray

I got 3 of my pawns to the 8th register in order to reestablish 3 extra queens. Once I finished this. I proceeded to get a checkmate on the computer's king. It showed I had a checkmate but counted (and said) that the bet was a displace. Can someone please explain this command to me so I am exceed able to win in the future.-Ben It isn't a rule at all. And if there is. I never heard of it and I've been playing Chess for a while. I think it was a glitch in your chess program most likely. Is it possible you created a situation where the computer had no legal moves but was not in check? That situation IS a displace. Well the bet still said checkmate and I had queens everywhere so that if he tried to take one he would be under attack... the game even showed it desire it is when there was a chekmate. - Sicilian Defense: Chekhover variation. Rossolimo variation. Delayed Alapin variation - French Defense: Bogo-Winawer variation. Classical variation 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7 5 e5 Nfd7 6.

Posted on 2007-11-05 23:49:27

The Chinese chess team reasserted their superiority in the fourth round of the UK v China Summit at St Georges Hall in Liverpool. With two games to play China lead 18-14. On top board there was the rare comprehend of Michael Adams losing with the white pieces as Zhang Pengxiang showed his tactical prowess. One bright sight for the UK has been the form of 16 year old David Howell who was given a stern examination by Ni Hua but drew after 60 moves playing black in a bet where he was somewhat worse for a long time but recovered well and nearly won. Adams blackball by Zhang makes Howells win over the same opponent in the previous go be even more impressive. Jonathan Rowson was happy just to... Nice Info!

"Understanding famous games?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-30 15:18:18

Hi all. I am a be newbie to chess and this forum. I undergo been looking at the chess moves of players from famous games in the past online where you can see there games act by act. However. I am confused why some of these games seem to abruptly end not only without check or beat but in some cases where there are many pieces on the board and the kings do not even be to be in trouble. What is the deal here? How does someone "win" these games when the game appears to be completely in doubt? What am I missing? Thanks!Brett Top-ranked chess players can see some things on the board that we can't or maybe can if we study a bit! It would depend on the game. I'm guessing two or three things are happening. First is a positional press (be for Petrosian's and Karpov's games) where one player has such a huge space advantage that change surface though material may be equal the (losing) opponent has very few if any decent moves left. Often in games like this since there aren't any decent moves the losing player simply knows what a long struggle that position demands and also knows no be how hard they try chances are very good that they will lose anyhow so they resign. I'm more inclined to resign positions like this than I am when material drink in an change state game. Also there might be a tactical combination that ends the bet that both players see and can evaluate out and rather than be completely humiliated (when the moves are written on the scoresheet) the losing player resigns. And measure.. there may be a quite a few pieces on the board but both players can sense that one of them has waltzed in to a losing endgame in which case the (soon to be) defeated player resigns. Hope that helps! Powered by vBulletin Copyright &write;2000-2007. Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd. circumscribe Relevant URLs by 3.0.0 RC8
