GM Yasser Seirawan Sharing a Humorous Anecdote at the Seattle Chess Club’S Fundraiser Earlier This Year $3.95 Northwest Chess GM Yasser Seirawan sharing a humorous anecdote at the Seattle Chess Club’s fundraiser earlier this year. Yaz, on his way to the U.S. Championship in St. Louis, his first tournament since 2007, stopped in Seattle and helped the club raise more than $2500! He posted an even score in the Championship, but his interest was piqued. He then turned in an excellent performance on Board Four for the U.S. at the World Team Championship in China in July. Now he has tied for first in a strong round-robin in Spain. In a post-tournament interview, he shares his thoughts on time controls, the World Championship, ‘Seirawan’ Chess and other topics. Inside: Oregon Open, Oyster Bay, Southern Idaho Open and more!

Grunden lades vid en sammankomst i Prag i fjol. Men allt är ingalunda frid och fröjd, tvärtom tycks situ- ationen vara mer förvirrad än någonsin. OQO Meningen är att vi i år skall få två semifinalmatcher, en mellan den regerande FIDE- världsmästaren Ruslan Ponomariov, Ukraina och exvärldsmästaren Garri Kasparov, Ryss- land samt en mellan Einsteingruppens världsmästare Vladimir Kramnik, Ryssland och vin- naren av fjolårets kandidatturnering i Dortmund, Péter Lékö, Ungern.

  • Proposal to Encode Heterodox Chess Symbols in the UCS Source: Garth Wallace Status: Individual Contribution Date: 2016-10-25
    Title: Proposal to Encode Heterodox Chess Symbols in the UCS Source: Garth Wallace Status: Individual Contribution Date: 2016-10-25 Introduction The UCS contains symbols for the game of chess in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. These are used in figurine notation, a common variation on algebraic notation in which pieces are represented in running text using the same symbols as are found in diagrams. While the symbols already encoded in Unicode are sufficient for use in the orthodox game, they are insufficient for many chess problems and variant games, which make use of extended sets. 1. Fairy chess problems The presentation of chess positions as puzzles to be solved predates the existence of the modern game, dating back to the mansūbāt composed for shatranj, the Muslim predecessor of chess. In modern chess problems, a position is provided along with a stipulation such as “white to move and mate in two”, and the solver is tasked with finding a move (called a “key”) that satisfies the stipulation regardless of a hypothetical opposing player’s moves in response. These solutions are given in the same notation as lines of play in over-the-board games: typically algebraic notation, using abbreviations for the names of pieces, or figurine algebraic notation. Problem composers have not limited themselves to the materials of the conventional game, but have experimented with different board sizes and geometries, altered rules, goals other than checkmate, and different pieces. Problems that diverge from the standard game comprise a genre called “fairy chess”. Thomas Rayner Dawson, known as the “father of fairy chess”, pop- ularized the genre in the early 20th century.

Morgan, late President of The Principia and one of its original students. A son of Principia's founder, Mary Kimball Morgan, he faithfully served the school in many capacities, including that of Headmaster of the Upper School, Senior Vice President in charge of the Upper and Lower School Building Project, and President and Trustee of The Principia. As inspired educator, able administrator, and loving friend, "Mr. Billy" has won a peimanent place in the hearts of Principia's faculty, staff and students. 4 ^ #r FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATION Scratch the green rind of a sapling, or wantonly twist it in the soil, and a scarred or crooked oak will tell of the act for centuries to come. So it is with the teaching of youth, which make impres­ sions on the mind and heart that are to last for­ ever. The highest function of the teacher consists not so much in imparting knowledge as in stimulating the pupil in its love and pursuit. To know how to suggest is the art of teaching.
