Rochester Rd Canterbury – SOLD !! – New Venue Update.

Update 1st November 2014. The Chess Club Committee has negotiated to use the Electra Community Centre in Electra Avenue Ashwood. The property is owned by Monash Council and has a web-site that can be viewed here > http://www.monash.vic.gov.au/recreation/electra.htm.

The Community Centre is actively used on most days and evenings of the week except for Friday evening and Sunday afternoon, so it is a great match for our traditional chess program and calendar. We plan our first event in the new venue to be Sunday the 11th of January; in other words … the January ROOKIES and QUEENS Cup starts in the new venue in 2015. We will use the venue on some Friday nights in January (the 16th and the 23rd; the Fischer Random) and January the 30th the first round of our traditional Autumn Cup. The first coaching date and Sunday ARVO date will be January, Sunday the 25th. While it is pleasant to find a venue which is available Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons, it is inevitable that there will be a limited number of occasions where the other tenants have already booked for week-end events; in particular, long week-ends. We will be unable to get access on November 1 and February 1, which will disrupt our coaching programme a little. Also, we will be unable to bid to host the Victorian Chess Open and the Victorian Junior Title Championships in 2015.

The venue has tables (and chairs) in place already, and these are suitable for chess. The layout can be viewed here > http://www.waverleybridgeclub.com.au/New%20Building%20-%20Plan.pdf

Since announcing the need to move venue, the Chess Committee has received a number of offers from volunteers to assist with the move. Thank you to all who suggested alternatives and to those who have offered to provide some muscle and transport to move equipment. We will be in contact with volunteers after we have met with the Masons representative on Thursday the 6th of November to sort out what goes and what stays at 3 Rochester Road.

Electra Community Centre is in easy walking distance from Jordanville train station, and the area is serviced by two bus lines. Here is a Google map of the location > https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Electra+Ave,+Ashwood+VIC+3147/@- 37.8702247,145.1084873,18z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x6ad6403b30903a1b:0xb738b4cfe81704d

In kingside with 26...Rg5 27.Qc3 [27.Rxe5 Rxd1+ 28.Bxd1

a moment of blindness, White forgets about the attack Rxd1+ 29.Re1 Rxe1#] 27...Qxc3 28.bxc3 Rxd1 29.Rxd1 on his central pawn; he needed to defend it with 6.Nf3, Rxd1+ 30.Bxd1 Kf8 Black is now a clear pawn up in a Bishop ending and should be winning, as he when we would still have a relatively normal Nimzo- Indian 6...cxd4 7.exd4 Nxd4 8.Qa4 Nc6 9.Nge2 0–0 demonstrates: 31.f4 Ke7 32.Kf2 Kd6 33.g3 f6 34.Ke3 White is already regretting his pawn loss, as his lack of e5 35.Bc2 a5 36.h4 Kc5 37.fxe5 fxe5 38.Bb3? [Although its not immediately apparent why, 38.Bd3 central control is obvious 10.Bg5 Be7 11.a3 I'm not too sure about this move, as its sole idea is to play b4 which proves the better square for the bishop as it has much White never gets around to fulfilling. It was probably more freedom of movement and can control the c4 square much better, given 38...e4 39.Be2 Bb5 40.Bg4 better to castle immediately 11...d5 12.Qc2 While it does create a threat, this seems unnecessary as the Kc4 like in the game meets 41.Be2+ and Black has to Queen is not very well placed here 12...h6 13.cxd5 Nxd5 step back] 38...b5 39.Kd2 Bd5 40.Bc2 e4?

White bishop for an easy win, while 46.Be2 will meet As White is down a pawn, he should try to avoid too 46...Bd3 followed once again by 47...e2 0–1 many swaps, or perhaps try to create an imbalance (by

swapping N for B or B for N). Black, on the other hand, would like to arrange swaps if possible and may use this Position after to control the two open files with his rooks. Cook executes this very well in the game 18.Rad1 Qe7 19.Rfe1 40.Bc2 Rac8 20.Ng3 Qc7 21.Qc4 White, now, lacking in a

Minimising Our Blunders (by IM Max Illingworth)

Note: This contribution is the sample of an article taken from my blog at www.illingworthchess.com. Do check out my website for the rest of the post and more such posts on chess improvement.

One of the most common questions I'm asked by my students is: How can I blunder less frequently? Naturally there are many different types of blunders and causes for those blunders. However, let's define a blunder first, so there can be no confusion between silly mistakes and decisive ones: Blunder: A very bad move which makes our position considerably worse than it was before, such as from winning to equal, or equal to losing.

Back in the old days (pre-2005), you were able to write your move down on your scoresheet before making it, and this served as an excellent way to 'blunder-check', but this is no longer allowed in the FIDE Laws of Chess as it is considered a form of note-taking. One thing we should accept is that the only way we can avoid ever blundering again is to stop playing chess, but that wouldn't be very fun...in any case, mistakes are part of the game and the struggle between two players.

Let's start with the game in the photo above:

(3) Gelfand,Boris (2738) - Wang,Hao (2742) [E06] London FIDE GP 1st London (4), 24.09.2012 [Illingworth,Max]

[It's pretty obvious that the rook endgame is a draw, but how does Black hold that draw?]

55...Kh7?? [Not like this.] [55...Kf8 is the simplest way to draw, as the only way for White to make progress is 56.d5 (otherwise Black will just shuffle to and fro with his king) 56...exd5 57.Rxd5 , but this is an obvious draw after any reasonable move, such as 57...Re7 , as our king is blockading the passed pawn, thereby stopping White getting any sort of Lucena. And obviously 58.Rd8+ Re8 59.Rxe8+ Kxe8 60.Kxf5 Kf7 is a draw.; 55...Rxf4 56.Kxe6 Kf8 is also a draw, but only because of the f-pawn, for instance: 57.Kd7! Re4 58.d5 Re7+ 59.Kc6 Re2 60.Rc1 Ke7 61.Kc7 Rd2 62.Re1+ Kf7 63.d6 f4 64.d7 Rc2+ 65.Kd8 f3 and White achieved the Lucena position for his pieces, but the passed f-pawn stops White successfully using the 'build a bridge' technique.; Even sitting and waiting with 55...Re3 56.Ke7 Kg7 57.Rg1+ Kh6 58.Kf6 Kh5 is good enough for a draw, though it's unnecessary to allow White even this. 59.d5 exd5 60.Kxf5 Kh6 61.Kf6 Rh3 62.Rd1 Rh4 63.f5 d4 is the drawing technique here, by the way. It turns out White can't queen his pawn.] 56.Kf7 [Black resigned as White will soon mate Black's king with Rh1.] 1–0

BHCC and CJCC venue: 3 Rochester Road Canterbury 3126 Page 6

It would be easy to attribute the loss to a slip in concentration, but I think the reason Black lost concentration in this example is because he knew the endgame is, with best play, a draw and therefore let his guard down. You have to concentrate on every single move of a chess game - if you lose focus for one move, you can very easily undo all the work you put in beforehand. This applies regardless of the position in front of you.

When you find yourself thinking that you have a winning position or a drawn position, don't let yourself relax - continue trying to find the best move on each move, whether it's the surest way to win or the clearest way to draw.

While blunders are usually of a tactical nature, they can also be strategic/positional blunders, as the following game shows:

(4) Kortschnoj,Viktor (2635) - Rozentalis,Eduardas (2650) [E17] Beersheba 16th Beersheba (1), 24.02.1997 [Illingworth,Max]

[Clearly White is under some pressure down the open e-file, but his decision to try and mount a counterattack merely weakened his own position.]

34.h4? [34.Qc4 was the correct move, intending Rfe2 to challenge the open e-file, or otherwise 34...Qf5 35.Rd1 to hold the position together, though Black is still pressing after penetrating White's position with 35...Re3! 36.Bd4 Ra3 .]

34...Re3! [Since the g3–pawn is no longer defended by the h-pawn, the threat of .. .Nd3 Rf1 Re2 becomes a whole lot stronger.]

35.h5 [35.g4 Nd3 36.Rf1 Ne1+! 37.Kg3 Qf7 would still be very strong; if 38.Rdf2 Rd3 and White is unable to both defend the c3–bishop and stop ...Ree3; if 39.Qc4 b5! 40.Qb3 Ree3 .]

35...Qg5 [I think White missed Black's threat in this position: ...Ne4!]

36.Rd1 Ne4! [White resigned since he can't allow ...Qxg3, but]

[36...Ne4 37.fxe4 Rxg3+ 38.Kf1 Rg1+ 39.Ke2 Qg4+ is also curtains.]

0–1

Admittedly White's blunder could be attributed to overlooking 36...Ne4, but I've labelled this as a strategic blunder because Black would still be much better even without this move. The way to minimise such oversights is to look for aggressive moves by the opponent on your half of the board, which threaten something. In this case, 34...Re3! and 36...Ne4! was the way to exploit the weakening of White's king safety. It should be added that White was under some pressure earlier in the game, which provoked the blunder that a player of Korchnoi's class would normally not make.

As mentioned before, you can read the rest of my post (including a summary of practical suggestions for reducing blunders) at my website.
