But this time I wore just the C editor’s hat, because I had so much material submitted from h e incredible sources. (Note for accuracy the exception to what I s just said, I did submit a photo I took in 2011 of Susan Kantor s on page 17.) For the last couple months, I’ve wanted to put out a 48-page issue, but it’s not as easy as that. Finally, this month there was no way I could do only 32 pages and still put in all that I wanted to put in—in fact, Ralph Dubisch seriously joked with me yesterday (after this issue was 98% finished) that I could do a 64-page issue, and while he was kidding, he was also not Table of Contents kidding! I didn’t write any Idaho articles in this issue. I could have. Queen And Pawn Death After all, Idaho just started holding online tournaments too (WCF Philip Peterson .............................................Front Cover has been doing them for some time now), and at the time of this issue, Idaho has run four online tournaments. Likelihood is that I From The Editor’s Desk will catch up (or at least start) these unwritten Idaho articles next Jeffrey Roland .................................................................3 issue. And while the pandemic had for a time stopped over-the- CJA Awards (NWC wins best print magazine, and board activity in the Northwest, we still got contributions from honorable mention for best online magazine) .............4 a couple Oregon players, all three games appearing in “Readers’ Still More Games From The Emerald City Open Showcase” on page 20-21. Various Players ...............................................................6 I should probably point out and recognize the incredible National Tournament Of State Senior Champions contributions from GM Aleksandr Lenderman who submitted Mary Kuhner ................................................................14 and annotated so many games they are hard to count, and after he did that, he even annotated some additional games played by Washington Game/60 (Half-Page Ad) his students in the events. Also, the incredible photography of online via Chess.com Oct 3 .........................................16 former Northwest Chess editor Philip Peterson, whose photos are Susan Kantor (1955-2020) so stunning that the idea of putting a caption on them proves Jeffrey Roland ...............................................................17 challenging! And to the best of my knowledge, I have caught up all contributions by all players who submitted annotated games Humor In Chess (Sequel) through the events covered. This issue is jam-packed with good Karen Schmidt ..............................................................18 stuff! Readers’ Showcase Various Players .............................................................20 Northwest Chess won the Chess Journalist of America award for Best Magazine/Newsletter (Print) for the seventh year in a row, Seattle Seafair Open and this year we also entered in the Best Magazine/Newsletter Derek Zhang .................................................................22 (Online) for the first time ever, and were recognized with an Washington Blitz Chess Championship (Half-Page Ad) honorable mention. That doesn’t mean we were second-place, online via Chess.com Oct 4 .........................................24 that means a significant number of voters considered us BEST, so we’re already recognized as a great online magazine, but there’s Vancouver Open room for improvement. We also won another honorable mention Rekha Sagar .................................................................. 34 award for “The Magic Year of 1971,” John Donaldson for Best USPS Statement Of Ownership ......................................41 Historic Article which was in the June 2020 issue (that was out 15th SPF National Open for Boys & Girls (Full-Page Ad) the end of May, so it qualified.) online via Chess.com Oct 10-11 ...................................42 It has long been my opinion that we can be the best print Seattle Classic Scholastic magazine and the best online magazine too at the same time Jacob Mayer ...................................................................43 without either one being negatively impacted—the best of both worlds! So we are going to be improving our online presence. We Washington Challenger’s Cup (Half-Page Ad) plan to try to figure out a better way to present the games online, online via Chess.com Oct 24-25 ................................. 44 but for now, look at page two (upper left there is a link) for a Washington Class Championships (Full-Page Ad) link to the online games file (note this was also a link to that; see online via Chess.com Nov 27-29 ..................................45 we’re learning!) Northwest Chess Grand Prix Anyway, I hope you enjoy this issue. It has been truly a Murlin Varner ..............................................................46 joy to produce.

  • Little Chess Evaluation Compendium by Lyudmil Tsvetkov, Sofia, Bulgaria
    Little Chess Evaluation Compendium By Lyudmil Tsvetkov, Sofia, Bulgaria Version from 2012, an update to an original version first released in 2010 The purpose will be to give a fairly precise evaluation for all the most important terms. Some authors might find some interesting ideas. For abbreviations, p will mean pawns, cp – centipawns, if the number is not indicated it will be centipawns, mps - millipawns; b – bishop, n – knight, k- king, q – queen and r –rook. Also b will mean black and w – white. We will assume that the bishop value is 3ps, knight value – 3ps, rook value – 4.5 ps and queen value – 9ps. In brackets I will be giving purely speculative numbers for possible Elo increase if a specific function is implemented (only for the functions that might not be generally implemented). The exposition will be split in 3 parts, reflecting that opening, middlegame and endgame are very different from one another. The essence of chess in two words Chess is a game of capturing. This is the single most important thing worth considering. But in order to be able to capture well, you should consider a variety of other specific rules. The more rules you consider, the better you will be able to capture. If you consider 10 rules, you will be able to capture. If you consider 100 rules, you will be able to capture in a sufficiently good way. If you consider 1000 rules, you will be able to capture in an excellent way. The philosophy of chess Chess is a game of correlation, and not a game of fixed values.

Sæsonen 2017 – 2018 (altså ikke den aktuelle) bød dog på avancement til hele 2 spillere, nemlig Peter Mikkelsen som via klubmesterskab og pokalvinder (altså ”The Double” til Norup/Øster Hurup) lagde hele 6 points på sin konto og røg op som nummer 4, mens Johannes Struijk, som vandt sølv både i efteråret 2017 og 2018, ifølge ”reglementet” for Top 20 scorede et enkelt point, som bragte ham fra 5 til 6 på listen, hvor han nu indtager en placering som nr. 16.

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.

PODIUM IS A GLOBAL CO-CURRICULAR LEARNING PLATFORM BASED ON HOWARD GARDENER'S THEORY OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES FOCUSSED ON CREATING THE ABSOLUTE BEST LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR BEGINNERS. ALL COURSES ARE DESIGNED USING GLOBAL BEST LEARNING TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES - FOLLOWING INTERNATIONAL BENCHMARKS BY TOP-NOTCH FACULTY. SUPERCLASS PRIVATE ONLINE CLASSES Beginners need individual attention - and we at Podium believe in it hence all our courses are designed to be customized to the development and learning needs at an individual level. Our classes have specific learning outcomes and give individual feedback as per the learning pace of the student. The classes are conducted by the best faculty chosen by Podium's education board. Chess helps build individual friendships and teaches children about sportsmanship. Children learn how to win graciously, and more importantly, how not to give up when encountering defeat. Chess encourages and rewards hard work. Children learn that those who practice and study the strategies win more games. In his celebrated work, “Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences”, noted psychologist Dr. Howard Gardner uses chess as an example of visual-spatial intelligence. Indeed, visual memory plays a crucial role in chess and often manifests itself in the form of pattern recognition.
