Adolf Anderssen Adolf Anderssen Photo – Dr. Alex Bolton Winner of First International Chess Tournament London 1851 Adolf Anderssen (July 6, 1818 – March 13, 1879) was a German chess master, who by today’s standards would have been awarded the title of Grandmaster. He was regarded as the world’s strongest player in the 1850s and 1860s, although he was temporarily dethroned in 1858 by the meteoric rise of the American Paul Morphy. After his defeat by Wilhelm Steinitz 1866, Anderssen improved his play and became the most successful tournament player in Europe, winning over half the events he entered even though he was over the age of 50! Today, Anderssen is best remembered for his brilliant sacrificial attacking play as epitomized in the “Evergreen Game" (P41) and the "Immortal Game" (P48). Anderssen £ Sacrifices In this section we look at £ sacrifices from the brilliant attacking play of Adolf Anderssen the German master and winner of the very first International Chess Tournament – London 1851. Anderssen – Dufresne, Berlin 1852 (P41, Exercise16) The “Evergreen Game” is one of the true treasures in chess literature. With his own ¢ threatened with mate in one, Anderssen unleashes an exchange sacrifice followed by a stunning “attraction” £ sacrifice that pulls the black ¢ into a mating net. Harritz – Anderssen, Breslau Match 1848 (P43, Exercise17) With his £ under attack, Anderssen places his ¤ under attack as well and threatens a ¦+¤ mate on the white ¢. White defends the d1 mate square, but Anderssen uses the back rank threats against the white ¢ to net a ¥. Nathan – Anderssen, Berlin 1850 (P45 Exercise18) With his ¤ on e5 pinned to his £ and attacked by a pawn, Anderssen unleashes a powerful double attack which offers his £ but forces mate on the boxed in white ¢. Anderssen - Mayet, Berlin 1848 (P46 Exercise19) Out of the opening, Anderssen sacrificed his ¦ in the corner on a1. From move 12 on, we are treated to a classic attack that culminates in the sham £ sacrifice 20.£xb8+, which allows White to promote his passed e-pawn and emerge a full piece ahead in the endgame. Anderssen - Falkbeer, Berlin 1851 (P47 Exercise20) With his £ on e2 under attack and his f3 ¤ pinned, Anderssen exploits his own pin along the d- file to sacrifice his £ and expose the black back rank. When Black declines the offer, two moves later Anderssen again offers his £ to ensure the promotion of his passed d-pawn. Anderssen - Kieseritzky, London 1851 (P48 Exercise21) The “Immortal Game” is one of the most precious jewels in the crown of chess literature. It was an informal game played during a break in a tournament and took place at the prestigious Simpson’s-in-the-Strand in London. Anderssen sacrificed both his ¦s and then finishes off the boxed-in black ¢ with a beautiful deflection £ sacrifice that forces mate with a ¥ and 2¤s. “The Immortal Game” Suriname 1984 Anderssen - Kieseritzky, London Match G8 1851 (P49 Exercise22) In some ways the attacking play is actually deeper than in the “Immortal Game”. Anderssen’s ¤ on f3 is pinned to his £ on d1, but with 18.¤xg5!! he still offers his £ to blast open the g-file. The stunning follow up is 19.¤f5!! trapping the black £ on h6. Black manages to maintain material equality, but his exposed ¢ on h6 and lack of piece coordination allow Anderssen to win material. Anderssen - Kieseritzky, London Match G8 1851 (P52 Exercise23) Anderssen sacrificed pawns on the queenside and built up his attack along the g-file with 25.gxf6! and 26.¦hg1! When Black played the defensive error 26.¢h8?, Anderssen’s 28.£h6! set up the unstoppable attraction £ sacrifice 29.£xh7+!! weaving a mating net. K Adolf Anderssen White could continue with 21.¦xd7+!

  • TCAS II) by Personnel Involved in the Implementation and Operation of TCAS II
    Preface This booklet provides the background for a better understanding of the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS II) by personnel involved in the implementation and operation of TCAS II. This booklet is an update of the TCAS II Version 7.0 manual published in 2000 by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It describes changes to the CAS logic introduced by Version 7.1 and updates the information on requirements for use of TCAS II and operational experience. Version 7.1 logic changes will improve TCAS Resolution Advisory (RA) sense reversal logic in vertical chase situations. In addition all “Adjust Vertical Speed, Adjust” RAs are converted to “Level-Off, Level-Off” RAs to make it more clear that a reduction in vertical rate is required. The Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS) for TCAS II Version 7.1 were approved in June 2008 and Version 7.1 units are expected to be operating by 2010-2011. Version 6.04a and 7.0 units are also expected to continue operating for the foreseeable future where authorized. 2 Preface................................................................................................................................. 2 The TCAS Solution............................................................................................................. 5 Early Collision Avoidance Systems................................................................................ 5 TCAS II Development .................................................................................................... 6 Initial

  • Multilinear Algebra and Chess Endgames
    Games of No Chance MSRI Publications Volume 29, 1996 Multilinear Algebra and Chess Endgames LEWIS STILLER Abstract. This article has three chief aims: (1) To show the wide utility of multilinear algebraic formalism for high-performance computing. (2) To describe an application of this formalism in the analysis of chess endgames, and results obtained thereby that would have been impossible to compute using earlier techniques, including a win requiring a record 243 moves. (3) To contribute to the study of the history of chess endgames, by focusing on the work of Friedrich Amelung (in particular his apparently lost analysis of certain six-piece endgames) and that of Theodor Molien, one of the founders of modern group representation theory and the first person to have systematically numerically analyzed a pawnless endgame. 1. Introduction Parallel and vector architectures can achieve high peak bandwidth, but it can be difficult for the programmer to design algorithms that exploit this bandwidth efficiently. Application performance can depend heavily on unique architecture features that complicate the design of portable code [Szymanski et al. 1994; Stone 1993]. The work reported here is part of a project to explore the extent to which the techniques of multilinear algebra can be used to simplify the design of high- performance parallel and vector algorithms [Johnson et al. 1991]. The approach is this: Define a set of fixed, structured matrices that encode architectural primitives • of the machine, in the sense that left-multiplication of a vector by this matrix is efficient on the target architecture. Formulate the application problem as a matrix multiplication.

Chess helps build individual friendships and teaches children about sportsmanship. Children learn how to win graciously, and more importantly, how not to give up when encountering defeat. Chess encourages and rewards hard work. Children learn that those who practice and study the strategies win more games. In his celebrated work, “Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences”, noted psychologist Dr. Howard Gardner uses chess as an example of visual-spatial intelligence. Indeed, visual memory plays a crucial role in chess and often manifests itself in the form of pattern recognition.
