  • 57 New Year's Ride to the Normal
    TTHHEE PPUUZZZZLLIINNGG SSIIDDEE OOFF CCHHEESSSS Jeff Coakley A NEW YEAR’S RIDE TO THE NORMAL SIDE number 57 December 28, 2013 For many players, the holiday season is associated with unusual chess problems. The Puzzling Side of Chess takes the opposite approach. To celebrate the end of each year, we cross over, for a brief moment in time, to “the normal side of chess”. As described in our first holiday column (21), normal chess means direct mates, endgame studies, and game positions. So here, for your New Year’s entertainment, is a selection of twelve standard problems. Cheers, everyone! Happy New Year from the Chess Cafe! Let’s begin our journey into the world of chess normalcy with a simple mate in two. Then we’ll gradually work our way up to the harder stuff. 1 w________w áwdwHkdwd] àdwIw)wdw] ßwdwdwGwd] Þdwdwdwdw] Ýwdwdwdwd] Üdwdwdwdw] Ûwdwdwdwd] Údwdw$wdw] wÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈw White to mate in 2 Miniature problems, with seven pieces or less, have always been a favourite of mine, especially mates in two.

Samuel Loyd, in his book Chess Strategy (1878), called such positions “intimidated king problems”. The black king is not intimidated in the next mate in two. In fact, the black forces outnumber the white. Sam Loyd had these two things to say about his composition: “This problem is especially constructed to give a deceptive appearance to mislead the solver ...” “To amateur solvers, ..

From 1945 until 1991 Europe was divided as a result of the aftermath of the Second World War, leaving two superpowers opposing each other’s philosophy about human rights, freedoms, way of life. The cold war’s significance cannot be overstated, as it left a permanent mark on the lives of millions of people, and still echoes in today’s diplomatic and political events. The aim of this project was to create a symbolic board game that reminds people of the hopes and struggles of the time. The project hopes to present a neutral stance on the period that captures the essences of the two superpowers authentically. Research was conducted using many means and media, among which were various documentary films and series, a number of fictional and non-fictional novels and books, articles and essays, open university courses, and countless personal accounts from people growing up and living during the events. As a result of the research the project achieved in creating the feeling and atmosphere of the time, which results from the correct implementation of various aspects of the historic background, politics and diplomacy, propaganda, lifestyle, culture, architec- ture, art and design.

  • An Arbiter's Notebook
    10.2 Again Purchases from our shop help keep ChessCafe.com freely accessible: Question: Dear, Mr. Gijssen. I was playing in a tournament and the board next to me played this game: 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.Ng1 Ng8 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Ng1 Ng8. When a draw was claimed, the arbiter demanded that both players replay the game. When one of them refused, the arbiter forfeited them. Does the opening position count for purposes of threefold repetition? Matthew Larson (UK) Answer In my opinion, the arbiter was right not to accept this game. I refer to Article 12.1 of the Laws of Chess: An Arbiter’s The players shall take no action that will bring the game of chess into disrepute. Notebook To produce a "game" as mentioned in your letter brings the game of chess The Greatest Tournaments into disrepute. The only element in your letter that puzzles me is the fact that Geurt Gijssen 2001-2009 the arbiter forfeited both players, although only one refused to play a new by Chess Informant game. The question of the threefold repetition is immaterial in this case. Question Greetings, Mr. Gijssen. I acted as a member of the appeals committee in a rapid chess tournament (G60/sudden death). I also won that tournament, but I am not a strong player, just 2100 FIDE, with a good understanding of the rules. The incident is as follows: A player lost a game and signed the score sheet, and then he appealed the decision of the arbiter to the committee with regards to some bad rulings during the game.

  • 1) the Team Listed First Has White on Boards 1 and 3. 2) All Teams
    Rules 1) The team listed first has White on Boards 1 and 3. 2) All teams must play in rating order, unrateds below all rated players. Unrateds may play in any order, but order may not subsequently be changed. 3) Both Team Captains are responsible for turning in the result sheet. If the Captain must leave, he should assign another team member as acting captain to sign and submit the result sheet. 4) A player may ask his Captain whether to offer or accept a draw. The Captain may reply based on the match standing. The Captain may not give advice based on the position on the board (or allow any appearance of doing so). The player is not obligated to accept the Captain's advice. 5) Black has his choice of standard equipment, except that digital time delay clocks with the time delay in effect are always preferred.. 6) If a player wishes to use a digital clock, it is his responsibility to set the clock and explain all of its functions to the opponent. If you can’t, find another clock.. 7) In order to claim a win on time, a player must present a legible score sheet correct to within three move pairs at the time the opponent’s flag falls. Moves filled in after this do not count. A missing move or check mark for either White’s or Black’s move counts as one missing move pair. So does an unreadable or ambiguous move earlier in the game. Minor notation errors which do not affect playability do not count as errors.
