Mirotvor Schwartz CHESS HISTORY on STAMPS (PRE-1890) Mirotvor Schwartz CHESS HISTORY ON STAMPS (PRE-1890) This is a part of my “CHESS HISTORY ON STAMPS” thematic exhibit. It covers events that took place before the 1890s (from the beginning of time to 1889). 1497 Luis Ramirez de Lucena (Spain) published in Salamanca the oldest known chess book, Repetición de Amores y Arte de Ajedrez con 101 Juegos de Partido (Repetition of Love and the Art of Playing Chess). 1749 Francois Andre Danican Philidor (France) published the first edition of his famous book Analyse du jeu des Échecs (The Analysis of the Game of Chess). 1 1755 In 1755, Francois-Andre Danican Philidor (France) won a match against Francois Antoine de Legall de Kermeur (France) and became the unofficial world champion. Philidor’s reign lasted until his death in 1795. Simultaneous Blindfold Exhibition 1783 (London) Count John M Bruehl (England) - Francois Andre Danican Philidor (France) 0:1 Philidor’s opponents - Philidor ½ : 2½. (Philidor played three opponents simultaneously without looking at the board. His opponents all played with White pieces, and one of them also had a one-pawn advantage (Philidor had removed his “f” pawn before the game even started). It was a remarkable achievement by 18th-century standards) 2 1795-1802 Some chess historians (including the person who designed this stamp) consider Domenico Ercole del Rio (Modena) the unofficial world champion in 1795-1802. 1821-40 In 1821, Louis-Charles Mahe de La Bourdonnais (France) defeated his teacher Alexandre Deschapelles (France) and became the unofficial world champion. La Bourdonnais’ reign lasted until his death in 1840. Correspondence Team Match 1842-45 Pest - Paris 2:0 3 1843 After winning a match against Saint-Amant (France), Howard Staunton (England) became the unofficial world champion. The Immortal Game 1851 (London) Adolf Anderssen (Prussia) - Lionel Kieseritsky (France) 1:0 Played as a casual game during a break in London International Tournament 1851.

  • 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.
