    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.

    A Basic Guide to King Pawn Openings (1.E4)

    A Basic Guide to King Pawn Openings (1.e4) 1.e4 King pawn openings are generally open games (i.e., a game characterized by many open lines and largely clear of obstructing pawns) that have active play where the players tend to “slug it out.” Why White Played 1.e4: 1. The pawn on e4 controls central square d5 2. The move frees the Queen and Bishop on f1. White’s Basic Goals: 1. Rapid development of pieces. 2. Control the Center. 3. Play d4 when possible 4. Castle quickly 5. Attack enemy King (usually king side) ASAP Black can response in many ways to 1.e4, and his first move indicates Black’s general plan of how he plans on handling White’s basic goals. Black First Move Black’s General Plan Fight (move for move) for center control and development. 1. …e5 Maintain a center pawn (center control) and give up space (piece mobility). 1. …e6 Give up a center pawn (center control) for development. 1. …c6 Meet 2.d4 with cxd4.
