Faux-gem Encrusted Cloisonné Enamel “Muslim Pattern” Chess Set Early to mid 20th century Enamel, metal, and glass Collection of the Family of Jacqueline Piatigorsky Though best known as a cellist, Jacqueline’s husband Gregor also earned attention for the beautiful collection of chess sets that he displayed at the Piatigorskys’ Los Angeles, California, home. The collection featured gorgeous sets from many of the locations where he traveled while performing as a musician. This beautiful set from the Piatigorskys’ collection features cloisonné decoration. Cloisonné is a technique of decorating metalwork in which metal bands are shaped into compartments which are then filled with enamel, and decorated with gems or glass. These green and red pieces are adorned with geometric and floral motifs. 2.

  • Yanofsky, Daniel Abraham (”Abe”) (26.03.1925 - 05.03.2000)
    Yanofsky, Daniel Abraham (”Abe”) (26.03.1925 - 05.03.2000) First Canadian Grandmaster ever. Born in 1925 in Brody, then Poland, he arrived the same year in Canada, as an eight months young baby. A child prodigy. Brilliant technical play, especially in the endgame. Prominent Winnipeg lawyer and city councillor, Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Mayor of West Kildonan, Manitoba. 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.

    BCCF E-MAIL BULLETIN #74 To subscribe, send me an e-mail ([email protected]) or sign up via the BCCF (www.chess.bc.ca) webpage; if you no longer wish to receive this Bulletin, just let me know. Stephen Wright [Back issues of the Bulletin are available on the above webpage.] WORLD YOUTH CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP The 2005 WYCC is currently underway in Belfort, France. This 11-round Swiss by age group (under 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18, in both boys and girls categories) has attracted 1122 players from around the world, including twenty-eight participants from Canada. Of these twenty-eight, eight are from B.C.: Fanhao Meng and Lucas Davies (U18B), Tiffany Tang (U16G), Noam Davies and Vlad Gaciu (U14B), Chelsea Ruiter (U12G), and Alexandra Botez and Erika Ruiter (U10G). Good luck to all! Results, currently for the first three rounds, are available through the offical sites, or www.chess.bc.ca or pages.infinit.net/archamse/WYCC2005.htm. The official website (www.belfort-echecs.com) was overwhelmed for a few days, but is currently up and running; an alternative is www.echecs.asso.fr/(0uiuf4binynjxpidzpz1f455)/Default.aspx, the website of the French Chess Federation. The organizers are providing games from the top twenty boards or so of each section, usually late on the same day as the round in question. So far four B.C. games are available, but unfortunately playing on the top twenty boards means meeting the toughest opposition, so the results have not been favourable for B.C.: Milman,L - Davies,L [B14] WYCC U18B Belfort (1.11), 19.07.2005 1.e4 c6 2.d4
