The Wangling Wizards the Chess Problems of the Warton Brothers
The Wangling Wizards The chess problems of the Warton brothers Compiled by Michael McDowell ½ û White to play and mate in 3 British Chess Problem Society 2005 The Wangling Wizards Introduction Tom and Joe Warton were two of the most popular British chess problem composers of the twentieth century. They were often compared to the American "Puzzle King" Sam Loyd because they rarely composed problems illustrating formal themes, instead directing their energies towards hoodwinking the solver. Piquant keys and well-concealed manoeuvres formed the basis of a style that became known as "Wartonesque" and earned the brothers the nickname "the Wangling Wizards". Thomas Joseph Warton was born on 18 th July 1885 at South Mimms, Hertfordshire, and Joseph John Warton on 22 nd September 1900 at Notting Hill, London. Another brother, Edwin, also composed problems, and there may have been a fourth composing Warton, as a two-mover appeared in the August 1916 issue of the Chess Amateur under the name G. F. Warton. After a brief flourish Edwin abandoned composition, although as late as 1946 he published a problem in Chess . Tom and Joe began composing around 1913. After Tom’s early retirement from the Metropolitan Police Force they churned out problems by the hundred, both individually and as a duo, their total output having been estimated at over 2600 problems. Tom died on 23rd May 1955. Joe continued to compose, and in the 1960s published a number of joints with Jim Cresswell, problem editor of the Busmen's Chess Review , who shared his liking for mutates. Many pleasing works appeared in the BCR under their amusing pseudonym "Wartocress". -

Our beloved game finds itself at something of a crossroads here in Nebraska. On the one hand, there is much to look forward to. We have a full calendar of scholastic events coming up this spring and a slew of promising juniors to steal our rating points. We have more and better adult players playing rated chess. If you’re reading this, we probably (finally) have a functional website. And after a precarious few weeks, the Spence Chess Club here in Omaha seems to have found a new home. And yet, there is also cause for concern. It’s not clear that we will be able to have tournaments at UNO in the future. -
Chapter 10, Different Objectives of Play
Chapter 10 Different objectives of play [The normal objective of a game of chess is to give checkmate. Some of the games which can be played with chessmen have quite different objectives, and two of them, Extinction Chess and Losing Chess, have proved to be among the most popular of all chess variants.] 10.1 Capturing or baring the king Capturing the king. The Chess Monthly than about the snobbery of Mr Donisthorpe!] hosted a lively debate (1893-4) on the suggestion of a Mr Wordsworth Donisthorpe, Baring the king. The rules of the old chess whose very name seems to carry authority, allowed a (lesser) win by ‘bare king’ and that check and checkmate, and hence stalemate, and Réti and Bronstein have stalemate, should be abolished, the game favoured its reintroduction. [I haven’t traced ending with the capture of the king. The the Bronstein reference, but Réti’s will be purpose of this proposed reform was to reduce found on page 178 of the English edition of the number of draws then (as now) prevalent Modern Ideas in Chess. It is in fact explicit in master play. Donisthorpe claimed that both only in respect of stalemate, though the words Blackburne and the American master James ‘the original rules’ within it can be read as Mason were in favour of the change, adding supporting bare king as well, and perhaps ‘I have little doubt the reform would obtain I ought to quote it in full. After expounding the support of both Universities’ which says the ancient rules, he continues: ‘Those were something about the standing of Oxford and romantic times for chess. -

Junior Four Nations League - a report by Mike Truran This season’s competition was bigger and better than ever, with teams of all ages competing over three weekends in two separate divisions. Like its senior equivalent, the Junior Four Nations Chess League (J4NCL) has the advantage of taking place in excellent qual- ity playing conditions in premier hotels across the UK. This season’s competition took place at Barcelo UK’s flagship Hinckley Island Hotel, so parents could also have a relaxing week- end away at a top four-star hotel while their children locked horns over the chess board. And with bedrooms and meals at the usual discounted 4NCL rates it meant that a family weekend away wasn’t going to break the bank either. 1 As well as the high quality playing conditions, the J4NCL and winning team members being presented with medals differentiates itself from most other junior events in and a trophy. So everyone got something to take home as offering free structured coaching between rounds for all a memento. the children, and the coaches also go through games on a one-to-one basis with any juniors who finish their games The standard of the chess was generally excellent, and early. This season’s coaches (GM Nick Pert, IM Andrew various parents commented on how much better many of Martin and WFM Sabrina Chevannes) did a fine job; on the juniors were playing by the third weekend compared occasion the job seemed (to this observer at least) to be as with the first. Children do of course improve fast at this much an exercise in riot control as anything else, but the age, but we like to think that the J4NCL coaching had coaches all came through in grand style and we had lots of something to do with it as well! Nonetheless, in any event compliments from parents about the quality of the coach- with a range of chess playing ability some memorable ing. -
