Junior Four Nations League - a report by Mike Truran This season’s competition was bigger and better than ever, with teams of all ages competing over three weekends in two separate divisions. Like its senior equivalent, the Junior Four Nations Chess League (J4NCL) has the advantage of taking place in excellent qual- ity playing conditions in premier hotels across the UK. This season’s competition took place at Barcelo UK’s flagship Hinckley Island Hotel, so parents could also have a relaxing week- end away at a top four-star hotel while their children locked horns over the chess board. And with bedrooms and meals at the usual discounted 4NCL rates it meant that a family weekend away wasn’t going to break the bank either. 1 As well as the high quality playing conditions, the J4NCL and winning team members being presented with medals differentiates itself from most other junior events in and a trophy. So everyone got something to take home as offering free structured coaching between rounds for all a memento. the children, and the coaches also go through games on a one-to-one basis with any juniors who finish their games The standard of the chess was generally excellent, and early. This season’s coaches (GM Nick Pert, IM Andrew various parents commented on how much better many of Martin and WFM Sabrina Chevannes) did a fine job; on the juniors were playing by the third weekend compared occasion the job seemed (to this observer at least) to be as with the first. Children do of course improve fast at this much an exercise in riot control as anything else, but the age, but we like to think that the J4NCL coaching had coaches all came through in grand style and we had lots of something to do with it as well! Nonetheless, in any event compliments from parents about the quality of the coach- with a range of chess playing ability some memorable ing. -

Chess Engines Would Play Instead
PRESIDENT‘S COLUMN By Max Zavanelli 10/40 or 10/60? At the Daytona Beach Congress in 2000.email was just catching on and quickly replacing postal chess as the method of choice for correspondence play. Many were greatly concerned about the rapid pace of email games and a heavier game load. ICCF addressed these concerns in several ways. 1. reducing event sizes from 15 players to 11 players where possible. 2. adding a “phony day” rule to eliminate the arrival day arguments, problems, and disputes. 3. setting the time control to 10/60. Five World Champions were for 10/60 and the president at that time, Alan Borwell, was also a strong supporter. I was of the opposite view, strongly opposed, and wanted a faster game. It is now clear we need both. The majority of the rank and file like me want the faster time control. The top players want the slower time control. The perfect Amici Sumus solution is to have both. Hence when we did the webserver, the next evolution of technology, we made it completely flexible and up to the organizer/administration of the event. This flexibility becomes very important when you consider the needs of school chess where you want to finish an event in the school year. My own preference for 10/40 has been greatly reinforced. The longer time control is subject to abuse. In one game my opponent always replied the same day or one day so after 25 moves he had taken only a few days. I reached a wonderful position where I found a beautiful sacrifice that would lead to mate in a few moves or win tons of material. -
Hovedbestyrelsen
Dansk Skak Union - Hovedbestyrelsen Bilag til punkt 3 på HB-mødet den 31. august 2008 Forretningsudvalgets beretning: Hovedbestyrelsen Resultatmæssigt: Peter Heine Nielsen blev en sikker vinder af DM på Hotel Scandic i Silkeborg med 7 point af 9 mulige. Lars Schandorff blev nummer to med 6/9, og fire spillere: Sune Berg Hansen, Allan Stig Rasmussen, Jakob Vang Glud og Mikkel Antonsen delte tredjepladsen med 5.5/9. Fire spillere delte førstepladsen ved K41 Scandinavian Open: Lars Schandorff, Henrik Danielsen, Stellan Brynell og Nikolaj Mikkelsen sluttede alle lige med 7.5/10. For Nikolaj Mikkelsen betød det samtidig den afgørende norm til IM-titlen, og havde Mikkelsen vundet partiet i sidste runde, havde det sågar udløst en GM-norm. Helsinge genvandt det danske mesterskab i holdskak foran Århus/Skolerne og Brønshøj. Det var sjællændernes ottende titel på stribe. Lars Bo Hansen gjorde en god figur ved Sigeman-turneringen i Malmø, hvor den danske stormester blev nummer 3 med 6/9 i et stærkt felt. Allan Stig Rasmussen vandt Copenhagen Chess Challenge med 6.5/9. Tre danskere var med ved EM i Plovdiv, hvor der bl.a. blev kæmpet om World Cup-pladser. Peter Heine Nielsen var længe med i kampen om dem, men sluttede uden for med 7.5/13. Karsten Rasmussen og Nicolai V. Pedersen sluttede begge langt nede i et meget stærkt felt med henholdsvis 4.5 point og 4 point. Brønshøj vandt Pokalfinalestævnet på Hotel Nyborg Strand foran Århus/Skolerne og Jetsmark. Jetsmark vandt i Bredderækken og Viby i juniorrækken. Peter Heine Nielsen delte sammen med Jonny Hector og Sergey Klimov sejren ved hurtigskakturneringen Tectura Active Chess. -

Already Martin’s love for chess and in particular the openings was very clear. Being, at least in those days, very similar myself, we got to know each other and since 2010 we’ve been doing quite a bit of opening work together. Having worked on and off with Martin for around five years, I’m still regularly fascinated by his endless creativity. In posi- tions where I think that I’ve looked at everything, he usually comes up with moves and ideas that I would never have found even with the aid of a strong computer. -
