It is a reflection of the hard work of Jun 30 Lightning the committee and the members of the club. On a personal basis, it has been incredibly fulfilling to have Jul 7 to Masters and Challengers contributed towards the growth of the club through this Sep 8 little newsletter. The readership has grown to the point whereby Noble Park Chess Club has had to increase the Jul 14 Lightning bandwidth of our club website. Very, very exciting... I’ve appreciated the many words of encouragement from Sep 15 Open Day club members and readers of the newsletter. However, all good things must come to an end. This will be my last newsletter as editor. Work and family commitments Sep 22-23 Noble Park Classic preclude me from being able to put aside the necessary time to support this activity. I urge you to continue to Sep 29 Lightning support the club as I will in my limited capacity.

    Sicilian Warfare By Ilya Smirin Quality Chess www.qualitychess.co.uk Contents Key to Symbols used 4 Preface 5 1 Attacking the King in the Centre 7 2 The Killer Knight on f5 33 3 Pawn Breaks 59 4 Opposite-side Castling 101 5 The Exchange Sacrifice 131 6 Positional Elements 167 7 Hedgehog Strategy 207 8 Endgames 241 9 Imagination 269 10 Typical Attacks 299 Game Index 324 Name Index 331 Preface The two most exciting openings in chess are beyond doubt the King’s Indian Defence and the Sicilian Defence. Not everyone feels comfortable playing these openings, but from the viewpoint of chess fans, these two fighting systems lead to the most spectacular and interesting games. The Sicilian Defence is truly the choice of champions. Although Karpov only played it rarely, it has been a cornerstone in the Black repertoires of most of the world champions in my lifetime. Kasparov relied heavily upon it and played little else for most of his career. Kramnik was the great champion of the Sveshnikov Variation in the Sicilian Defence, until he came up with the Berlin Defence to frustrate Kasparov and claim the crown. Later on, he turned to the Najdorf, though this time without so much success. Topalov is a natural Sicilian player, as is Anand, although 1...e5 has also been a standard for these two champions. Magnus Carlsen is a truly versatile player, who played the Najdorf and the Dragon on his way up, while he recently returned to the Sveshnikov Variation against Caruana in the 2018 title defence – an opening he had not played since his junior days.

  • Chess Festival
    Boris Gelfand’s Remarkable Comeback Yochanan Afek reports back from the star-studded Netanya International Chess Festival A big International Festival was organised in the coastal Israeli city of Netanya by the Israeli Chess Federation and the local municipality, supported by the generosity of businessman Roman Abramovich, likely best known to the readers as the owner of Chelsea Football Club. It has been quite a while since Netanya last hosted a strong international chess event, but the city has a long and respectable tradition of grandmaster tournaments. They were initially part of the popular Schach-Kait (Chess & Holiday) festival. Over the years various master tournaments were held as well as many editions of a grandmaster crown group, whose winners included the world- class icons Bobby Fischer (1968), Sammy Reshevsky (1969), Lubomir Kavalek (1971 and 1973), and Jan Timman (1975), as well as local heroes Yair Kraidman (1964) and Moshe Czerniak (1965). Played in the VIP room of the city’s Ilya Smirin might be in his fifties, but still produces plenty of attacking and exciting games. football stadium and consisting of two major sections, this year’s edition of the Netanya International Festival was both the biggest beaten in just 25 moves by Tamir Nabaty, 66 g5!
