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.

Igolomska 12 To my father Vladimir Z hdanov for teaching me how to play chess and to my mother Tamara Z hdanova for encouraging my passion for the game. PREFACE A critical-minded author always questions his own writing and tries to predict whether it will be illuminating and useful for the readers. What makes this book special? First of all, I have always had an inquisitive mind and an insatiable desire for accumulating, generating and sharing knowledge. Th is work is a prod- uct of having carefully read a few hundred remarkable chess books and a few thousand worthy non-chess volumes. However, it is by no means a mere compilation of ideas, facts and recommendations. Most of the eye- opening tips in this manuscript come from my refl ections on discussions with some of the world’s best chess players and coaches. Th is is why the book is titled Yearbook of Chess Wisdom: it is composed of 366 self-suffi - cient columns, each of which is dedicated to a certain topic.

(a) Through Consultative Committees of various ministries (b) Through Parliamentary Committees (c) By making the administrators send periodic reports (d) By compelling the executive to issue writs Correct Answer is (b) Through Parliamentary Committees Functions of Parliamentary Committees Parliamentary committees can range over all the functions that the legislature itself performs, with the exception of determining the formation of the Government. They perform functions which Houses of Parliament are not as well-fitted to perform, such as finding out facts of a case or issue, examining witnesses, sifting evidence and drawing up reasoned conclusions. Accountability Committees provide an increased ability for the Parliament to scrutinise government policy and expenditure. Committees are frequently appointed to parallel the ministerial or departmental structure adopted by the Executive. Each committee has a responsibility to provide oversight of government agencies within specific portfolios. Legislation Committees can be an important part of the legislative process. Examination by a committee can allow public input into the legislative process. Representation / Education of Members Committees enable the Parliament to be taken to the people, and enable evidence to be gathered from expert groups or individuals. They enable direct contact between the public and representative groups of Members of Parliament and a flow of information to Members. They facilitate an increased level of collegiality between members from different political parties who may not otherwise have the opportunity to work with one another. The accountability functions of parliamentary committees include their ability: to conduct inquiries; to compel the attendance of persons and presentation of documents; and to make reports and recommendations to Parliament.
