Awarded the IM title in 1950 (the inaugural year), the GM title in 1964 and the International Arbiter title in 1977. The first chess player in the British Commonwealth to be awarded the Grandmaster title (Apart from German-born chess player Jacques Mieses who moved to England in the 1930s to escape Nazi persecution as a Jew. Mieses became a British citizen late in life, then received the title when FIDE first awarded the grandmaster title in 1950, Mieses was one of the 27 original recipients, and the oldest of them) Yanofsky was British Champion in 1953 and Canadian Champion on eight occasions: 1941 in 1943, 1945, 1947, 1953, 1959, 1963, 1965; his eight titles is a Canadian record (tied in closed tournaments with Maurice Fox). “Little Abie” or “Abe”, as the local newspapers called him soon, was a Child Prodigy. At age of 12, Yanofsky won the championship of Manitoba. He repeated every year through 1942, when nobody else even bothered to show up. Thereafter, Yanofsky was banned from further participation in the Manitoba provincial championship to encourage others to play in it :) At 14, was picked to play at board 2 for the Canadian Team in the Olympiad in Buenos Aires 1939.

An Arbiter's Notebook
Define Same Positions Purchases from our shop help keep ChessCafe.com freely accessible: Question Dear, Geurt. I think something went terribly wrong in the last revision of Article 9.2, which went into force in July 2009. I suggest three alternatives to fix this problem. The crucial change was this sentence: "Positions are not the same if a pawn that could have been captured en passant can no longer be captured in this manner or if the right to castle has been changed temporarily or permanently." The problem was that no one understood when the right to castle had changed An Arbiter’s temporarily or permanently. I think I do, but there are problems with a definition if it can only be understood by a small number of arbiters. Thus, it Notebook was changed to these two sentences: Masters of Technique Positions are not the same if a pawn that could have been captured en Edited by Howard Goldowsky Geurt Gijssen passant can no longer be captured in this manner. When a king or a rook is forced to move, it will lose its castling rights, if any, only after it is moved. The problem is that the semantic link was lost between the two sentences. In the previous version, you could literally say that "positions are not the same if castling rights are changed." In the new version, the first sentence talks about why positions are not the same, and the second does not. So, the second sentence becomes irrelevant to the first, indeed for the whole paragraph. It only states when castling rights are lost, but in no other part of Article 9.2 are these castling rights used.

Rules of Chess
Rules of chess From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The rules of chess (also known as the laws of chess) are rules governing the play of the game of chess. While the exact origins of chess are unclear, modern rules first took form during the Middle Ages. The rules continued to be slightly modified until the early 19th century, when they reached essentially their current form. The rules also varied somewhat from place to place. Today Fédération Internationale des Échecs (FIDE), also known as the World Chess Organization, sets the standard rules, with slight modifications made by some national organizations for their own purposes. There are variations of the rules for fast chess, correspondence chess, online chess, and chess variants. Chess is a game played by two people on a chessboard, with 32 pieces (16 for each player) of six types. Each type of piece moves in a distinct way. The goal of the game is to checkmate, i.e. to threaten the opponent's king with inevitable capture. Games do not necessarily end with checkmate – players often resign if they believe they will lose. In addition, there are several ways that a game can end in a draw. Besides the basic movement of the pieces, rules also govern the equipment used, the time control, the conduct and ethics of players, accommodations for handicapped players, the recording of moves using chess notation, as well as procedures for irregularities that occur during a game. Contents 1 Initial setup 1.1 Identifying squares 2 Play of the game 2.1 Movement 2.1.1 Basic moves 2.1.2 Castling 2.1.3 En passant 2.1.4 Pawn promotion Game in a public park in Kiev, using a 2.2 Check chess clock 3 End of the game 3.1 Checkmate 3.2 Resigning 3.3 Draws 3.4 Time control 4 Competition rules 4.1 Act of moving the pieces 4.2 Touch-move rule 4.3 Timing 4.4 Recording moves 4.5 Adjournment 5 Irregularities 5.1 Illegal move 5.2 Illegal position 6 Conduct Staunton style chess pieces.
