    ECF Enewsletter Edition No. 21 June 2018

    ECF eNewsletter Edition No. 21 June 2018 Dear ECF Member Welcome to the June edition of the eNewsletter. In this edition we have a fascinating lengthy interview with Mostaque Choudhury, secretary of the British Bangla Chess Association, whose club is proving to be a huge success on and off the board. In their first season they have won London League Division Four at a canter while using chess as a tool for much needed social change among young people in one of the poorest areas of London. We also look at some excellent performances by juniors in the 4NCL Spring Congress, there's a welcome return of the Master in Your Local series and the annual problem solving championships are beginning soon. On a housekeeping note, we understand members are finding difficulty with 'preferences' if they have previously unsubscribed. We apologise for this inconvenience and we will put this right. With the County Championships and British Championships coming up in June and July, there is plenty of distraction from the football World Cup (I am assuming England will revert to type and be on the plane home before they get off the one that brings them to Russia). --- Mark Rivlin Across the board Mark Rivlin interviews British Bangla Chess Association secretary Mostaque Choudhury here --- https://www.englishchess.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/BBCA.docx Enquiries about the BBCA to Mostaque here --- [email protected] Advance to finance Aside from membership rates featured in last month's newsletter, there were other important decisions taken on the ECF Finance Council meeting including make-up of county championships and initiative to get more women involved in chess.

    Hastings International Chess Congress

    Hastings International Chess Congress Hastings Masters winner Wang Yue, with Amber Rudd MP (left) and Cllr. Maureen Charlesworth Chess Moves presents - in chronological order - a series of reports from Stewart Reuben on the Hastings International Chess Congress. It all begins with ... Round 1. Where games are referenced in Stewart’s text, many of them may be found at the Hastings Congress website - www.hastingschess.com Wang Yue (CHN) 2697 is the first Chinese player to have taken part in Hastings for some years. He is also the highest rated player ever to have participated in the Masters. In Britain we don’t believe in absurd first round clashes with a difference of over 400 rating points. But with such a high rated player as Wang Yue it is impossible to avoid very nearly such a difference in rating.There are other reasons for using Accelerated Pairings: it is more likely players will be able to achieve a GM norm; the disconcerting and unfair bouncing effect for players just below the top (Continued on Page 3) Publications that are produced by volunteers.

    London Chess Classic Day 9 Round-Up

    13th December 2015 LONDON CHESS CLASSIC DAY 9 ROUND-UP Yesterday’s round-up predicted it could be a late night at the Olympia Conference Centre on the last day of the London Chess Classic, but little did the fans know they were in for a high intensity 10-hour chess marathon. Magnus Carlsen, winner of the London Chess Classic and of the Grand Chess Tour The final and decisive round had started at the usual 2 pm weekend kick-off time and, for the seventh time in the tournament, there were four draws and one decisive result. Adams-Caruana, Aronian-Vachier Lagrave, Anand-Giri and Nakamura-Topalov were all balanced draws. The one decisive result (which was incidentally also the last game to finish) was crucial as Magnus Carlsen ultimately got the better of Alexander Grischuk. Carlsen was very lucky as Grischuk first missed a promising continuation with 30...Rxg4, then a forced draw, before sacrificing a rook for a non- existent perpetual check. Both players made the same oversight. This last-gasp win enabled Carlsen to join Giri and Vachier-Lagrave in the lead and thus force a 3-way play-off. As stipulated by the official regulations, ‘The two players placed lowest on tiebreak shall contest a two game Rapidplay match at a time limit of Game / 25 mins + 5 secs / move throughout’, which meant Giri and Vachier- Lagrave would have to face off first for the right to challenge Carlsen for tournament victory. In the first game, Giri opted for a Berlin (another one!) with the black pieces and played a perfect game to score an all-important victory.

The venue’s popularity can be measured by the response in terms of entries, with almost 1,000 now the norm for Torbay.

I had worked with John for many years, first in his post of Director for Junior Chess and more recently as ECF News a regular writer for ChessMoves. He Nominations for Election at the ECF AGM 2009 sent his last article to me on the day The following candidates have been nominated. Elections will take place at the Annual before he died, which was also the General Meeting on 17th October in London last time I spoke to him. John to me was the kindest and most courteous Post Nominee(s) gentleman, always generous of his President CJ de Mooi John Paines time and help and a colleague who Chief Executive Chris Majer will be sadly missed.
