  • 1999/6 Layout
    Virginia Chess Newsletter 1999 - #6 1 The Chesapeake Challenge Cup is a rotating club team trophy that grew out of an informal rivalry between two Maryland clubs a couple years ago. Since Chesapeake then the competition has opened up and the Arlington Chess Club captured the cup from the Fort Meade Chess Armory on October 15, 1999, defeating the 1 1 Challenge Cup erstwhile cup holders 6 ⁄2-5 ⁄2. The format for the Chesapeake Cup is still evolving but in principle the idea is that a defense should occur about once every six months, and any team from the “Chesapeake Bay drainage basin” is eligible to issue a challenge. “Choosing the challenger is a rather informal process,” explained Kurt Eschbach, one of the Chesapeake Cup's founding fathers. “Whoever speaks up first with a credible bid gets to challenge, except that we will give preference to a club that has never played for the Cup over one that has already played.” To further encourage broad participation, the match format calls for each team to field players of varying strength. The basic formula stipulates a 12-board match between teams composed of two Masters (no limit), two Expert, and two each from classes A, B, C & D. The defending team hosts the match and plays White on odd-numbered boards. It is possible that a particular challenge could include additional type boards (juniors, seniors, women, etc) by mutual agreement between the clubs. Clubs interested in coming to Arlington around April, 2000 to try to wrest away the Chesapeake Cup should call Dan Fuson at (703) 532-0192 or write him at 2834 Rosemary Ln, Falls Church VA 22042.

  • Chess Problems out of the Box

Photo: Gabi Novak-Oster In 2002 this chess problem (= no. 271) and this photo were pub- lished in the German daily newspaper Rhein-Zeitung Koblenz.

  • The 5Th Belgrade Chess Problems Festival Report by Milan Velimirović the Fifth Successive Festival Took Place from 2Nd to 4Th of May 2008
    Mat Plus Review Summer 2008 The 5th Belgrade Chess Problems Festival Report by Milan Velimirović The fifth successive Festival took place from 2nd to 4th of May 2008. As usual a good number of guests from abroad were welcomed: Dinu-Ioan Nicula (ROM), Aleksander Leontyev (RUS), Andrey Selivanov (RUS), Eric Huber (ROM), Fadil Abdurahmanović (BIH), Iļja Ketris (LAT), Ivan Denkovski (MAK), Kostas Prentos (GRE), Michal Dragoun (CZE), Piotr Murdzia (POL), Valery Kopyl with his lovely daughter Valeria (UKR) and Živko Janevski (MAK). You may have noticed the exception from the alphabetical order of that list, but there is a good reason for it: Dinu-Ioan Nicula is the only foreign composer who has attended all five Festivals, and if he comes again next year the organizers could consider the idea of promoting him into an honorary participant. Anyway, all guests have been treated by the home team in a traditionally warm and friendly way. For the record, the participants from Serbia were: Bogoljub Trifunović, Borislav Gađanski, Borislav Ilinčić, Božidar Brujić, Božidar Šoškić, Branislav Đurašević, Darko Šaljić, Dragoljub Đokić, Goran Janković, Goran M. Todorović, Goran Škare, Igor Spirić, Joza Tucakov, Marjan Kovačević, Mihajlo Milanović, Milan Velimirović, Miodrag Radomirović, Mirko Miljanić, Nikola Miljaković, Nikola Petković, Petar Opening speech: Milan Milićević, president Šoškić, Radomir Mićunović, Slobodan of Chess club “Beograd Beopublikum”, Šaletić, Stevan B. Bokan, Tomislav Petrović, accompanied by Marjan Kovačević Vladimir Podinić and Zoran Sibinović. The programme was very busy and here is a brief report of all the events. Friday, May 2nd, 16:00.

  • Chapter 15, New Pieces
    Chapter 15 New pieces (2) : Pieces with limited range [This chapter covers pieces whose range of movement is limited, in the same way that the moves of the king and knight are limited in orthochess.] 15.1 Pieces which can move only one square [The only such piece in orthochess is the king, but the ‘wazir’ (one square orthogonally in any direction), ‘fers’ or ‘firzan’ (one square diagonally in any direction), ‘gold general’ (as wazir and also one square diagonally forward), and ‘silver general’ (as fers and also one square orthogonally forward), have been widely used and will be found in many of the games in the chapters devoted to historical and regional versions of chess. Some other flavours will be found below. In general, games which involve both a one-square mover and ‘something more powerful’ will be found in the section devoted to ‘something more powerful’, but the two later developments of ‘Le Jeu de la Guerre’ are included in this first section for convenience. One-square movers are slow and may seem to be weak, but even the lowly fers can be a potent attacking weapon. ‘Knight for two pawns’ is rarely a good swap, but ‘fers for two pawns’ is a different matter, and a sound tactic, when unobservant defence permits it, is to use the piece with a fers move to smash a hole in the enemy pawn structure so that other men can pour through. In xiangqi (Chinese chess) this piece is confined to a defensive role by the rules of the game, but to restrict it to such a role in other forms of chess may well be a losing strategy.] Le Jeu de la Guerre [M.M.] (‘M.M.’, ranks 1/11, CaHDCuGCaGCuDHCa on ranks perhaps J.

Acknowledgements Don Beal of London, Jaap van den Herik of Amsterdam and Hermann Kaindl of Vienna provided helpful responses to my request for de®nitions of technical terms. They and Peter Frey of Evanston also read and offered constructive criticism of the ®rst draft, thus helping improve the basic organization of the work. In addition, my many friends and colleagues, too numerous to mention individually, offered perceptive observations. To all these people, and to Ken Thompson for typesetting the chess diagrams, I offer my sincere thanks.

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Of the early chess-playing machines the best known was exhibited by Baron von Kempelen of Vienna in 1769. Like its relations it was a conjurer's box and a grand hoax [1, 2]. In contrast, about 1890 a Spanish engineer, Torres y Quevedo, designed a true mechanical player for king-and-rook against king endgames. A later version of that machine was displayed at the Paris Exhibition of 1914 and now resides in a museum at Madrid's Polytechnic University [2].

  • Chess Problem Composing Steps
    Appendix A Chess Problem Composing Steps Chess problems for this research were composed automatically using CHESTHETICA (see Fig. A.1) following the essential steps below. It is a modi- fication of the approach used in (Iqbal 2011). The problems composed are limited to orthodox mate-in-3 problems in standard international chess. 1. Obtain the two new DSNS strings produced from the DSNS process (see Sect. 3.1). 2. Set the total number of white pieces and black pieces that can be used in the composition. There are two attribute values pertaining to these features in each DSNS string. (a) For example, if in string 1 the white piece count is 5 and in string 2 the white piece count is 10, the range possible for this computer composition is between 5 and 10. The same for the black pieces. 3. Calculate the total Shannon value of the white pieces and then the black pieces in both strings and get the average of each. Use these average values to determine the number of piece permutations (i.e. combinations of different pieces) that satisfy them. (a) For example, an average value of 10 for white could mean having a bishop, two knights and a pawn whereas an average value of 9 for black could mean having just a queen. The total number of piece permutations possible for both the white and black pieces here is totaled. (b) This total will equal the number of times the same pair of DSNS strings is used in attempting to generate a composition. So, in principle, every legal piece combination can be tested.
