The Chairperson (Ms. Polgar) especially praised FIDE for the Women’s World Blitz and Rapid Championships in Saudi Arabia which had a substantially increased prize fund, though it was only one third of the prize in the Open section. The total prize fund in the Women’s championships were $250,000 for each event. Beatriz Marinello reported on her project “Smart Girl” on behalf of the Social Action commission, which included projects in Uganda, Chile, France and the US. This projects seeks to increase participation by girls in chess in those countries. Martha Fierro elaborated on the project about chess in women prisons in Genoa, Italy, which involved the training of refugees in Italy who in turn, train women prisoners. Sophia Rohde from the United States shared some of the work their federation is in doing to promote chess for girls in the USA. They subsequently presented a video showing various interviews with young girls in chess, highlighting the benefits and challenges that they experience in chess.

  • Q&A Session – , 1.5.2020 Lecture (Ukraine) 'S GM Anna Muzychuk
    GM Anna Muzychuk's (Ukraine) lecture, 1.5.2020 – Q&A Session Transcription: Yevgeny Levanzov Editing: Nir Klar First Topic – Being a Chess Player Esther: What helped you advance in chess and win throughout your career? Anna Muzychuk: There were a number of things that helped me advance in chess and it's actually a combination of several factors. First of all, I started playing at a very early age – when I was two years old! Also, from a very young age my parents invested a lot of time and worked very hard to help me obtain achievements. Another thing is the motivation you get when you start winning tournaments. I started winning Eur opean Championships for kids from the age of 6, the motivation boosts you continue working hard and win more competitions. Last but not least, If you like chess you just keep going. In other words, it's a combination of great passion and love for the game, hard work, and successes from the beginning of my career that pushed and motivated me. These are the 3 main things, in my opinion. Inbar: Do you consider yourself to be more of an attacking/tactical or more of a positional player? Anna Muzychuk: I addressed this earlier in a way. I am a more active player. I do not like playing defensively. I aim for an interesting game, initiative, combinations, attack, etc. Keren: Who is the player you most associate with his/her style of play? Anna Muzychuk: Maybe I'm wrong, but among the modern players I think that my style is most similar to the one of Fabiano Caruana.

  • My Best Move
    MY BEST MOVE Fred Wilson Noted Chess Bookseller Became a Master at age 71 PHOTO CREDIT: COURTESY OF SUBJECT MY BEST MOVE IS TWOFOLD, CONSISTING of two moves made almost exactly 50 years apart; the first was played over the board while the second, and most important, was made in “real life.” My first “best move” was played in the fifth round of the Manhattan Open on August 6th, 1967. I was 21 years old, already married with two kids, rated 2049, and still trying to “make master”—a quest that began in 1961 at the New York City Junior Championship, where I’d scored only 3-3, but did win the “best-played game” prize awarded by GM Bill Lombardy, and got my first US Chess rating (1704). After four rounds I had three points, having lost to GM Nicolas Rossolimo in the second round (in a good game published I was used to dealing with tactical both by The New York Times and Chess Review). And now I faced future-IM Walter Shipman and surprises and I handle time pressure well. played what is still probably my best game ever: “ ” MY BEST GAME EVER Bc5 Bxc5 29. bxc5 Qxc5 30. d6 Qc8 31.
