VBE2NALWN2 \\ Tony Miles - England s Chess Gladiator / Kindle Tony Miles - England s Chess Gladiator By D Raymond Keene Zeticula Ltd, United Kingdom, 2006. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 212 x 138 mm. Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Tony Miles was a phenomenon in English chess. From an early age it was apparent that he had no respect whatsoever for the vaunted Soviet School of chess and held their grandmasters in scant esteem. At the very start of his career victories came in quick succession against such renowned opposition as Bronstein, Geller, Smyslov and Spassky. The culmination was a victory at the head of the British Chess Federation team in the European Team Championship at snow bound Skara in Sweden against the reigning world champion Anatoly Karpov. For the very first time in any anthology of Tony Miles games this win appears here with Tony s own profound notes. This was an historic win with Miles using the iconoclastic 1.a6 to defeat the champion s habitual 1e4. Amongst Tony s exploits were winning the Junior World Championship, becoming the UK s first FIDE grandmaster in over the board play and leading the BCF team to silver medals behind only the USSR in the prestigious Chess Olympiads. Miles also won numerous first prizes in international tournaments.... READ ONLINE [ 6.36 MB ] Reviews This publication is indeed gripping and intriguing.

    57 New Year's Ride to the Normal

    TTHHEE PPUUZZZZLLIINNGG SSIIDDEE OOFF CCHHEESSSS Jeff Coakley A NEW YEAR’S RIDE TO THE NORMAL SIDE number 57 December 28, 2013 For many players, the holiday season is associated with unusual chess problems. The Puzzling Side of Chess takes the opposite approach. To celebrate the end of each year, we cross over, for a brief moment in time, to “the normal side of chess”. As described in our first holiday column (21), normal chess means direct mates, endgame studies, and game positions. So here, for your New Year’s entertainment, is a selection of twelve standard problems. Cheers, everyone! Happy New Year from the Chess Cafe! Let’s begin our journey into the world of chess normalcy with a simple mate in two. Then we’ll gradually work our way up to the harder stuff. 1 w________w áwdwHkdwd] àdwIw)wdw] ßwdwdwGwd] Þdwdwdwdw] Ýwdwdwdwd] Üdwdwdwdw] Ûwdwdwdwd] Údwdw$wdw] wÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈw White to mate in 2 Miniature problems, with seven pieces or less, have always been a favourite of mine, especially mates in two.

In fact, the black forces outnumber the white.

    Chess-Moves-November

    November / December 2006 NEWSLETTER OF THE ENGLISH CHESS FEDERATION £1.50 European Union Individual Chess Championships Liverpool World Museum Wednesday 6th September to Friday 15th September 2006 FM Steve Giddins reports on round 10 Nigel Short became the outright winner of the 2006 EU Championship, by beating Mark Hebden in the 10th round, whilst his main rivals could only draw. The former world title challenger later declared himself “extremely chuffed” at having won on his first appearance in an international tournament in his home country, since 1989. Hebden is a player whose opening repertoire is well-known, and has been almost constant for his entire chess-playing life. As Black against 1 e4, he plays only 1...e5, usually either the Marshall or a main line Chigorin. Short avoided these with 3 Bc4, secure in the knowledge that Hebden only ever plays 3...Nf6. Over recent years, just about every top-level player has abandoned the Two Knights Defence, on the basis that Black does not have enough compensation after 4 Ng5. Indeed, after the game, Short commented that “The Two Knights just loses a pawn!”, and he added that anybody who played the line regularly as Black “is taking their life in their hands”. Hebden fought well, but never really had enough for his pawn, and eventually lost the ending. Meanwhile, McShane and Sulskis both fought out hard draws with Gordon and Jones respectively. Unlike Short, McShane chose to avoid a theoretical dispute and chose the Trompowsky. He did not achieve much for a long time, and although a significant outb of manoeuvring eventually netted him an extra pawn in the N+P ending, Black’s king was very active and he held the balance.
