Alberta Chess Association Letter of Appeal ALBERTA CHESSASSOCIATION Box 11839 Main P.O. Edmonton, Alberta l~.lJ~ T6J 3K9 April 14,2005 FROM: Ford Wong 17535 - 55 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T6M 1 C9 APR, 4 ZOOS TO: Anita Moore, ..,\,~ S\W"of(f Community Services Advisory Board, Cr"" ..'" . ,.."c CIO Community Services Grants Coordinator, P.O. Box 2359, Edmonton, Alberta T5J 2R7 Re: NOTICE OF APPEAL: City of Edmonton - 2005 Community Investment Hosting Grant My apologies for submitting this appeal after the deadline date of Thursday April 7th. This is because the letter informing us of the Community Services Advisory Board's decision to recommend that the Alberta Chess Association (ACA) be denied funding for the 2005 Canadian Open Chess Championship, was sent to the association's mailbox and not to my home address. The ACA's mail box was not checked until yesterday and hence I was not aware of the decision until then. I trust that this submission will be accepted. Having reviewed the reasons given for why the ACA's request was rejected, I believe that there were errors in assessment as follows: GROUNDS FOR APPEAL: 1. The Canadian Open 2005 was deemed an invitational tournament. It is "Nor. Although there are certain featured players, the tournament is "OPEN" to everyone. It is not a closed event limited to invitees only. This gives everyone a chance to play some of the best players in the \YOnd. As specified in the guidelines: Eliaible amateur and reaeation events must: be open events that are not restricted to members of a certain arOUD or club. The Canadian Open 2005 is open to everyonewho wants to playas stated in the title of the event. We anticipate upwards of 200 people who will come to play. In addition, in the reasoning "there is not a Qualification process that determines the participants ability to enter/participate ". This statement is undear as under event eligibility there is no mention of qualification process. 2. The 2005 Canadian Open chess championship satisfies Eliaible amateur and recreation events must: determine the ChamDion for the resDective level of comDetition(Provincial. Western Canadian. National or World ChamDion: The winner of the 2005 Canadian Open 2005 Chess Championship is the "National" champion as opposed to being the "Alberta" or Western Canadian Champion. This is because the event allows anyone from all over Canada and abroad to attend. Although in the original request, the description of the Canadian Open Chess Championship does not specifically state that the winner is the National Champion for the Canadian Open, it is implied. Attached please find the list of the past 10 champions. The Canadian Open is the only "National" tournament held each year so that this event is truly unique for Canada. LIST OF PAST CANADIAN OPEN CHAMPIONS 2004 Alexander Moiseenko, Dimitri Tyomkin 2003 Alexander Moiseenko 2002 Pascal Charbonneau, Jean-Marc Degraeve, Jean Hebert 2001 Larry Christiansen, Anthony Miles 2000 Joel Benjamin, Jonathan Rowson, Kevin Spraggett 1999 Georgi Or1ov, Kevin Spraggett 1998 Michael Oratovsky, Evgeny Prokopchuk, Kevin Spraggett, Dimitri Tyomkin 1997 Julian Hodgson 1996 Kevin Spraggett 1995 Deen Hergott, Ron Livshits, Bryon Nickoloff, Eduardas Rozentalis, Kevin Spraggett For the complete list of Canadian Open champions please see the following website: http://www.ncf.carieton.caJ-bw998/Champions.html IMPACT: The CanadianOpen 2005 is on a very tight budget and the supportof the City of Edmontonwould alleviate shortfallsand prevent cutting back on the quality of the event such as tournamentsupplies/equipment and additionalactivities. I trust that this information will be sufficient to justify a successful appeal. Please let me know if require a hearing or need additional information. I can be reached to 420-3975 (wk) or 481-6474 (hm). t.

  • 57 New Year's Ride to the Normal
    TTHHEE PPUUZZZZLLIINNGG SSIIDDEE OOFF CCHHEESSSS Jeff Coakley A NEW YEAR’S RIDE TO THE NORMAL SIDE number 57 December 28, 2013 For many players, the holiday season is associated with unusual chess problems. The Puzzling Side of Chess takes the opposite approach. To celebrate the end of each year, we cross over, for a brief moment in time, to “the normal side of chess”. As described in our first holiday column (21), normal chess means direct mates, endgame studies, and game positions. So here, for your New Year’s entertainment, is a selection of twelve standard problems. Cheers, everyone! Happy New Year from the Chess Cafe! Let’s begin our journey into the world of chess normalcy with a simple mate in two. Then we’ll gradually work our way up to the harder stuff. 1 w________w áwdwHkdwd] àdwIw)wdw] ßwdwdwGwd] Þdwdwdwdw] Ýwdwdwdwd] Üdwdwdwdw] Ûwdwdwdwd] Údwdw$wdw] wÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈw White to mate in 2 Miniature problems, with seven pieces or less, have always been a favourite of mine, especially mates in two. Positions with eight to twelve pieces, like the one below, are known as merediths. The name honours American composer William Meredith (1835-1903) of Philadelphia. 2 w________w áwdkdwdwd] àdwdRdNHw] ßwdwdwdwd] ÞdPdwIwdw] ÝwdwdwdBd] ÜdwdwdwGw] Ûwdwdwdwd] Údwdwdwdw] wÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈw White to mate in 2 In the first two puzzles, the only black piece was the king. Samuel Loyd, in his book Chess Strategy (1878), called such positions “intimidated king problems”. The black king is not intimidated in the next mate in two. In fact, the black forces outnumber the white. Sam Loyd had these two things to say about his composition: “This problem is especially constructed to give a deceptive appearance to mislead the solver ...” “To amateur solvers, ..

  • — I Believe Hostage the Most Interesting, Exciting Variant That Can Be Played with a Standard Chess Set. Mating Attacks Are the Norm
    — I believe Hostage the most interesting, exciting variant that can be played with a standard chess set. Mating attacks are the norm. Anyone can hope to discover new principles and opening lines. Grandmaster Larry Kaufman 2008 World Senior Chess Champion — Fascinating, exciting, extremely entertaining—–what a wonder- ful new game! Grandmaster Kevin Spraggett Chess World Championship Candidate — Probably the most remarkable chess variant of the last fi ft y years. Captured men are hostages that can be exchanged. Play is rarely less than exciting, sometimes with several reversals of fortune. Dramatic mates are the rule, not the exception. D.B.Pritchard author of “Th e Encyclopedia of Chess Variants” — Chess is not yet played out, but it is no longer possible to perform at a high level without a detailed knowledge of openings. In Hostage Chess creativity and imagination fl ourish, and fun returns. Peter Coast Scottish Chess Champion — With only a few rule changes, Hostage Chess creates a marvelously exciting variant on the classical game. Lawrence Day International Chess Master — Every bit as intriguing as standard chess. Beautiful roads keep branching off in all directions, and sharp eyed beginners sometimes roll right over the experts.

    BCCF E-MAIL BULLETIN #109 Your editor welcomes welcome any and all submissions - news of upcoming events, tournament reports, and anything else that might be of interest to B.C. players. Many thanks to all those who contributed to this issue.

Stephen Wright [Back issues of the Bulletin are available on the above webpage.] SILVER STAR CLASSIC Gerry Neufahrt returned to a familiar role on the Remembrance Day weekend - winning the Silver Star Classic! His 5.5/6 score was a half-point better than last year, moving him from a tie in 2005 to clear first prize in this year's event. Gerry has won the Silver Star more times than anyone else in its history, including three out of the last four tournaments. He may be getting on in years (it's over fifty years since Gerry first played competitive chess in B.C.), but he still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Kevin Goodman and Hugh Long tied for second a full point back; another notably result was that of junior Daniel Zaba, who scored 50% in only his second tournament. Fifteen players participated; this number would likely have been higher had the weather been more cooperative. Wally Steinke was the organizer/TD.

Each letter can be finessed by a + or - giving 12 possible levels. The judgement will be subjective, of course, but based on decades of experience. F = Fine or nearly new // VG = very good // G = showing acceptable signs of wear. P = Poor, structural damage (loose covers, torn pages, heavy marginalia etc.) but still providing much of interest. AN = Algebraic Notation in which, from White’s point of view, columns are called a – h and ranks are numbered 1-8 (as opposed to the old descriptive system). Figurine, in which piece names are replaced by pictograms, is now almost universal in modern books as it overcomes the language problem. In this case AN may be assumed. pp = number of pages in the book.// ed = edition // insc = inscription – e.g. a previous owner’s name on the front endpaper. o/w = otherwise. dw = Dust wrapper It may be assumed that any book published in Russia will be in the Russian language, (Cyrillic) or an Argentinian book will be in Spanish etc. Anything contrary to that will be mentioned. PB = paperback. SB = softback i.e. a flexible cover that cannot be torn easily.
