Chess Kids Newsletter June 09Phsmall Knight Times June 2009 Knight Times Chess World Australia Pty. Ltd. ABN 41 118 087 862 Message from the Guru, Chess for Success! Colleges in the United States offer chess scholarships of US$200,000 each year in the form of tuition, plus up to $15,000 stipend. University of Maryland, Baltimore County president Freeman Hrabowski was quoted as saying “I think it’s one of the best business decisions I’ve made as president here. We’ve always worked to attract high achieving students, and the chess players helped create a climate that celebrated smart people. Chess was a perfect fit as a symbol for the life of the mind.” New Zealand's top junior Puchen Wang (now 19 years old) moved to the US in 2008, taking up a scholarship to the University of Texas - Dallas. He now studies Business Administration while playing on the college chess team. Here in Australia it is Monash University that leads the way in recognising the value of chess in education with their sponsorship of the National Interschool Chess Championships (details from www.interschool.com.au/nationals/). Frank Lekkas is presented with the RJ Shield by IM Robert Jamieson at the We tried to find out if any private schools in May RJ Shield Tournament held at Australia offered Chess Scholarships. While a very Doncaster Gardens Primary School. high number of top chess players received scholarships (in all states), schools are not calling them "Chess Scholarships". They are always awarded after students had achieved the necessary academic level. The fact that students were good at chess became useful at the interview stage.

From IM Robert Jamieson Many chess players, when confronted with a chess position, just launch Clearly White’s big advantage is his passed straight into the fray and start analysing pawn on a7 which is nearly through to moves until they find something they becoming a new queen. like. What would White like to do? Queen the These players could make their lives a lot pawn! easier if instead they took a moment to look at What’s stopping him? The Black Queen on d5 the position to see what is actually going on. is covering the queening square and holding How do we find the best move in a position? Black’s game together. Regular readers of this newsletter will know that I’ve suggested that we “examine all checks and Can we get rid of this pesky Queen? captures”. This may turn up something unexpected. It may not. What are our options? Another technique used by strong players is to Have a look yourself before reading further. ask themselves “what would I like to do” in the position. Perhaps you are trying to create a 1.Qf3 - He just swaps Queens and plays passed pawn that can go through to queen or Kb7. perhaps you would like to open up a line of 1.Qxe6+ - He plays 1...Qxe6 2.a8=Q+ Kc7 attack to the opponent’s King. and he’s OK. Once you have established the aim, you then 1.Qh5 - He just takes 1...Qxh5 and he’s look for ways of achieving that aim. Even threatening Qd1+. moves that may, at first glance, look “silly”. 1.c4 - He just takes the pawn en passant. Have a look at the position below. 1.Qf5 - 1...exf5 0-1 1.Rf5 - now if he plays 1...Qxf5 2.a8=Q is mate and after 1...exf5 2.Qxd5 Rxd5 3.a8=Q + White wins! Can he move his Queen instead? If 1...Qc6 or Qe4 or Qb7 2.Rxc5+ wins. So we have found our brilliancy 1.Rf5!! 1-0. We did it merely by thinking logically about the position and asking the question “What would I like to do”? By training your brain to think logically and examine the options in a systematic fashion you will not only have improved your chess ability, you will have gained a valuable life skill! White to move. Page 3 Knight Times June 2009 Book Review The book includes an appendix of various Australian Title holders which to me seems a little irrelevant to the subject of the book. Australian Chess Brilliancies : Creative Attacking Chess from Down Under. If I wish to be pedantic, I noted a number of errors in these lists which perhaps the by Kevin Casey $19.95 author has copied from the ACF’s website. I must write to them one day to have them corrected. Meanwhile, here is an example of an exciting finish from one of the games in the book. G.West v D.Hacche - Ballarat 1995 It’s always good to see another chess book published by an Australian author, so I welcome the publication of “Australian Chess Brilliancies” by Queensland player Kevin Casey.

    OCEANIA CHESS DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2011 – 2014 PREPARED BY BRIAN JONES 18 JULY 2010 1 CONTENTS 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2. DEMOGRAPHIC BACKGROUND 3. HISTORY OF OCEANIA CHESS 4. ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT 5. EVENTS 6. ARBITERS 7. TRAINERS 8. MARKETING AND ADMINISTRATION 9. OTHER DEVELOPMENT GOALS APPENDIX I OCEANIA DEMOGRAPHY APPENDIX II FIDE PLAYER STATISTICS APPENDIX III PROPOSED BUDGET 2011-2014 2 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 The Oceania region excels at almost all outdoor sports activities but chess, which is mainly an indoor activity, is not yet widely recognised as a serious sport. It is noted that FIDE aims to achieve worldwide recognition for chess as a sport but, whilst Australia and New Zealand have longstanding chess traditions, and nearby countries such as Philippines and Indonesia are mad about chess, there is very little chess played in Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. As a result there is enormous potential for chess development in the region. 1.2 The administration of chess in Oceania needs more active resources and an improved organisation structure. It is proposed to create an Oceania Chess Confederation (OCC) from 1 January 2011. OCC Members would be the countries that are Members of FIDE Zone 3.6 (currently six). Dependencies and countries from other Zones would be welcomed to join as Associate Members. 1.3 It is proposed that a Policy Board consisting of delegates from the member Countries would oversee the OCC. An Executive Committee would be responsible for all day- to-day matters. The OCC Chief Executive would be the FIDE Zone 3.6 President. 1.4 Development is planned in many areas, including: • Major Events and Championships • Arbiter and Trainer Education • Marketing, Communications and Administration • Chess-in-Schools • Other Goals established at the 2009 Oceania meeting in the Gold Coast 1.5 The proposed Budget for 2011-2014 is included in Appendix III.
