  • A Battle Royale
    A Battle Royale In a previous article I looked at a game between 23... d7 two legendary Hoosier players and the theme XABCDEFGHY centered upon a far advanced pawn. Should 8-+r+-+k+( one attack, or try to queen the pawn? 7zpp+rwQpzpp' Here we will revisit this theme as it often comes 6-+-zP-+-+& into play. The question revolves about how 5+-+-sn-+-% much can you sacrifice in order to get that pawn to the promised land. 4-+-+Nwq-+$ 3+-+-+-+P# Before we get to the game, let me give you an exercise: [See the diagram at right.] 2PzP-+-zP-+" 1+K+RtR-+-! Your queen has just been attacked. Give yourself 15 minutes and decide upon what best xabcdefghy play might be, and how would you play? [What pair of Hoosiers have played the most games against each other? I would venture to say that two legendary players from Kokomo; John Roush and Phil Meyers would be my guess. I'd say they have probably crossed swords over the board more than a thousand times! (Especially when you include their marathon blitz sessions!) I witnessed their most recent battle royale at the recent Super Tornado organized by Nate Bush in Indianapolis at the Delta Hotel. But I'm also sure that by the time you are reading this that they will already have played many more games at the Kokomo IHOP in their ongoing journey across the chessboard. This encounter was played at a very fast time control [g45+5], but that might have seemed slow to these battle tested veterans.

The idea for this book first occurred during the 2018 Olympiad in Batumi, Georgia, an event which marked a turning point in my career. Having become a grandmaster in 2016, I had been coaching talented youngsters (including GM Raunak Sadhwani, who became a GM at just 13 years of age!) for quite a while and preparing opening files for them. In 2018, I was given the opportunity to work as part of a team of seconds, headed by GM Jacob Aagaard, helping the Indian Women’s team at the Olympiad. Performing this work at a world-class competition required me not only to prepare opening ideas at a more intricate level, but also to supplement my ChessBase analysis with brief but lucid comments at critical moments, to help the players retain the most important information.

  • Saturday Enrichment Fall 2019 Introduction to Chess: Exercising Your Brain
    SATURDAY ENRICHMENT FALL 2019 INTRODUCTION TO CHESS: EXERCISING YOUR BRAIN Instructor: Cary R. Easterday Instructor Email: [email protected] Location: Loew Hall 118 Course Description A healthy lifestyle includes physical and mental fitness. Playing chess improves memory, concentration, foresight, math skills, reading skills, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Each week the instructor will provide puzzles, lessons, videos, and one-on-one play, monitor student progress, and help with questions. Lessons include setup, piece movements, strategy, tactics, openings, middlegame, endgame, chess notation, popular variants, and history. No experience is necessary. Learning Outcomes By the end of this course, students should be able to: • Play standard chess, including such moves as castle, en passant, and pawn promotion. • Demonstrate chess tactics such as forks, pins, skewers, batteries, discovered attacks, undermining, overloading, deflection, and sacrifices. • Record games using algebraic and descriptive chess notations. • Play popular chess variants such as Bughouse, Chess960, Transcendental, King of the Hill, Upside-down, Atomic, Pawns Game, Peasants’ Revolt, and four-player Quad Kingdom. • Play in a chess tournament, if they choose (optional participation). Instructional Strategies • The instructor uses inquiry-based instruction to inspire student creativity and problem- solving abilities. • Students play chess games via cooperative learning and differentiation. • Each student receives a gold membership to Chesskid.com and has access to technology (computers, notebooks, phones) to solve chess puzzles, take self-paced chess lessons, and play online chess games with computer bots or other students. Student Assessment There is no formal assessment for this course. The instructor will observe one-on-one play each week and will informally assess a student’s progress as they answer questions, solve puzzles, and progress in lessons/ranking on Chesskid.com.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE IDEOLOGIES, STRATEGIES, AND APPLICATIONS OF CHESS AND MARTIAL ARTS WITH RESPECT TO TRANSFERABLE SKILLS By Torriente Toliver Acknowledgements This work would not be possible without the training in the skills that I learned to transfer. I want to thank Allen Hammond, my high school chess coach and world history teacher, who taught me the value of information, research, and critical thinking. I would also like to thank the staff of Beverly Pagoda Martial Arts Academy who taught me to put my critical thinking skills to use with practical application and not to waste them on pontification. I would like to thank Sensei Kates Jr. specifically because it was he that taught me about transferable skills and inspired me to create an effective way to analyze my skills and teach others to do the same.
