Faux-gem Encrusted Cloisonné Enamel “Muslim Pattern” Chess Set Early to mid 20th century Enamel, metal, and glass Collection of the Family of Jacqueline Piatigorsky Though best known as a cellist, Jacqueline’s husband Gregor also earned attention for the beautiful collection of chess sets that he displayed at the Piatigorskys’ Los Angeles, California, home. The collection featured gorgeous sets from many of the locations where he traveled while performing as a musician. This beautiful set from the Piatigorskys’ collection features cloisonné decoration. Cloisonné is a technique of decorating metalwork in which metal bands are shaped into compartments which are then filled with enamel, and decorated with gems or glass. These green and red pieces are adorned with geometric and floral motifs. 2.

    Benko 90 JT the Provisional Award XABCDEFGHY 8-+-+-+

    Benko 90 JT The provisional award In the tournament invitation we wrote Pal Benko as judge. Unfortunately he had to hand over this role to someone else. Benko GM had temporary problems with his sight. Benko chose Richard Becker instead of himself. Richard Becker's judgment report and the award, that I published in the 6/2019 issue of Magyar Sakkvilag . (Peter Gyarmati , tournament director) "To my mind, Pal Benko straddled the chess world like a Colossus; one foot in the world of OTB chess and the other reaching to all the genres of chess composition. His endgame studies are at the highest level of our art. They are filled with novel and counter-intuitive ideas expressed with grandmasterly technique and a degree of economy that truly is pre-computer wizardry. In judging the Pal Benko-90 JT, I tried to reward deep plans and surprise moves, good technique and economy, and anything with a thematic ring to it. From among the 65 studies in anonymous form I received from Peter, I found eleven that satisfied. Upon further review, four studies fell out of competition due to serious duals. These seven remaining studies I recommend as the winners. 1st Prize Jan Timman XABCDEFGHY 8-+-+-+-( 7+-+-++-' 6--+-+-+& 5++-+-+-% 4-+-+-+-$ 3-+-+--# 2+-+-+" 1+-+-+-! xabcdefghy win 1.d1 [The reasonable looking 1.e3+? g4 2.d3 fails to 2... 2...f6! 3.xf6 e7 4.a1 g5=] 1...c1 2.e2 h3 [2...g2 3.d4+-] 3.g1+ [Not 3.c4? g2 4.c5 a3! draw] 3...h2 4.f2 [4.f1? g2=] 4...f6! 5.xf6 b2 6.c3!!
