THE ENGLISH OPENING ....................................................221 The variation l.c4 e5 2.lllc3 �b4 3.llld5 �a5 3 From the Authors The theory ofthe most fashionable openings is now being updated to cover the first 30 moves, and even the first 40. The main purchasers of opening monographs are candidate masters and club players. Not many of them are looking to fill their heads with fa r too much information. So, understandably, they want to deviate from the main lines as soon as possible and prefer to choose half-forgotten variations. Con­ trary to the opinion of officialthe ory, these variations are sometimes no worse than the "sophisticated" ones. Not even the objective shortcomings of such rarities should frighten you away from trying them in practice - as besides the classical time control there's also Rapidplay and Blitz. Eleven opening systems are presented in this work. The authors play White more strictly than Black, and with the ten plans fo r Black there's just one fo r White (the French with �g4 in chapter 6). Seven chapters were created by Alexander Raetsky and four by Maxim Chetverik. We have frequently used games and analyses that haven't been published before. The authors are sticking with fo rms of exposition that are identical to those in our previous Russian-language works The Catalan and Th e Queen 's Gambit Accepted - games with notes and illustrative individual lines in the systems. If the duels don't go over the limit of 30 moves they're included in fu ll, othetwise they're "cut" at the point when the course of the battle no longer has any relation to the opening. Without disregarding the computer's prescriptions, we've tried not to go overboard with specific variations and have given preference to explanations. Explaining the configuration of forces and the plans fo r both players is like hiring a navigator in the unfamiliar waters of rare systems. Hopefully the reader, armed with the unusual openings we suggest, will enjoy set­ ting fashions rather than merely fo llowing them. Chapter 1 The King's Gambit The variation l.e4 e5 2.f4 ef 3.l2Jf3 d6 4.d4 g5 5.h4 g4 6.l2Jglf5 The glorious King's Gambit was consigned to history in the mid- l91h century. It may have seemed that the romantic opening was destined fo r oblivion, but fo rtunately the future Wo rld Champion, Boris Spassky, started using it regularly and success­ fu lly in the 1960s. Indeed, over the course of his career Spassky never lost a serious game with the King's Gambit and his victims included Bronstein, Fischer, Portisch, Karpov and Seirawan. David Bronstein himself was also a fan of 2 f4; he played it episodically over a period of 50 years. In more recent times, the King's Gambit has been occasionally adopted by Nigel Short, Alexei Fedorov and all three of the Polgar sisters. Theory books are rarely convinced about White's chances and it is still comparatively rare, but playing l...e5 nevertheless requires the second player to be prepared in the event of a "surprise". Meeting fire with fire, our recommendation is to remember that there are two f­ pawns which are permitted to move in the early stages of a game of chess. l.e4 eS in the American Chess Quarterly, Vo l. 1 2.f4 ef (1961), No. 1.

Those who write about chess theorywho are often also eminent players, are referred to as "theorists" or "theoreticians". The development of theory in all of these areas has been assisted by the vast literature on the game. Inpreeminent chess historian H.

Wood estimated that the number had increased to about 20, No one knows how many have been printed White Collection [10] at the Cleveland Public Librarycontains over 32, chess books and serials, including over 6, bound volumes of chess periodicals.

  • 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.
