As I had expected, it was a difficult task. When you’ve had a long career in chess, and played many thousands of games, there will be hundreds among them on which you can look back with satisfaction. Siegbert Tarrasch published his book Dreihundert Schachpartien in 1895, when he was 33 years old. In such a case, with so many games, the selection process is much ‘looser’. In 1998, Anatoly Karpov also published a selection of 300 games from a period of three decades. Thus, he, too, had more freedom to show all his special victories to the public. I myself published Timman’s Selected Games with Cadogan in 1995, which was brought out by New In Chess under the title Chess the Adventurous Way. It features 80 games from the period 1983-1994. Curiously, I have only included 10 games from that selection in this book. This illustrates the difficulties I experienced with my new selection.

  • Eesti Naiste Maleliikumine Ärkas Hilja Nagu Eelmises Malenurgas Lubatud Sai, Siis Teeme Seekord Juttu Eesti Naiste Malemeistriv
    Eesti naiste maleliikumine ärkas hilja Nagu eelmises malenurgas lubatud sai, siis teeme seekord juttu Eesti naiste malemeistrivõistluste ajaloost. Kui esimesed Eesti meeste meistrivõistlused leidsid aset juba aastavahetusel 1922/1923, siis naiste seas selgitati esmakordselt parim alles pärast II maailmasõda, 1945. aasta sügisel. Eesti naiste maleliikumise kohta enne II maailmasõda leiame andmeid üsna napilt. Heino Hindre koostatud raamatust “Male Eestis” (1965) saame lugeda: “1925. a on tähiseks meie naiste maleliikumise ajaloos. Esmakordselt toimus Tartus maleturniir tütarlastele, millest võttis osa seitse mängijat. Turniiri võitis Hint (5 p). Esimese võistluse naismaletajaile korraldas Eesti Koolinoorsoo Keskliidu Tartu osakonna malesektsioon. Turniiri võitja nimetati Tartu keskkoolide naismeistriks. Kuid möödus veel 11 aastat, enne kui jõuti esimeste Eesti esivõistluste korraldamiseni naismaletajatele.” 1926. aastal tütarlaste malevõistluste korraldamine Tartus jätkus, turniiri võitis Alma Palm 7 punktiga 8st, järgnesid Endla Tamm (6 p) ja Nadežda Peterson (5 p). Uusi teateid Eesti naiste maleliikumise kohta leiame eelpool nimetatud teosest “Male Eestis” (1965) seoses järgmiste ridadega: “Oli möödunud 11 aastat, kui jälle korraldati turniir naismaletajatele. See toimus 1936. a oktoobris. Korraldajaks oli TEMS (Tallinna Eesti Maleselts). Turniiri võitis Maria Orav, kes oli kaua Eesti “Vera Menchikuks”...” Siinkohal olgu lisatud, et Vera Menchik (1906-1944) oli esimene naiste maailmameister aastail 1927-1944, kes oma tollastest rivaalidest

G. V. PEREIRA2, Nayra S.C. LIMA3, Francisco Manoel Branco GERMINIANI1, Carlos Henrique Ferreira CAMARGO4, Paulo CARAMELLI5, Hélio Afonso Ghizoni TEIVE1, 4 ABSTRACT The chess game comprises different domains of cognitive function, demands great concentration and attention and is present in many cultures as an instrument of literacy, learning and entertainment. Over the years, many effects of the game on the brain have been studied. Seen that, we reviewed the current literature to analyze the influence of chess on cognitive performance, decision-making process, linking to historical neurological and psychiatric disorders as we describe different diseases related to renowned chess players throughout history, discussing the influences of chess on the brain and behavior. Keywords: cognition; recreational games; neurology; psychiatry; decision making; behavior; history. RESUMO O jogo de xadrez compreende diferentes domínios da função cognitiva, exige grande concentração e atenção e está presente em muitas culturas como instrumento de alfabetização, aprendizado e entretenimento. Ao longo dos anos, muitos efeitos do jogo no cérebro foram estudados. Dessa forma, revisamos a literatura atual para analisar a influência do xadrez no desempenho cognitivo, no processo de tomada de decisão, vinculando-a a distúrbios neurológicos e psiquiátricos históricos ao descrevermos diferentes doenças relacionadas a renomados jogadores de xadrez ao longo da história, discutindo as influências do xadrez no cérebro e no comportamento. Palavras-chave: cognição; jogos recreativos; neurologia; psiquiatria; tomada de decisões; comportamento; história.

  • Geschichte Die Jahre 1986-1993
    Geschichte Die Jahre 1986‐1993 Biel International Chess Festival Die Jahre 1986‐1993 Seit 1986 nehmen sowjetische Spieler am Grossmeisterturnier teil. Sie spielen eine dominierende Rolle, was sich unter anderem in den Siegen von Lev Polugajevski und Vassily Iwantschuk und natürlich der Überlegenheit von Anatoly Karpov zeigt. Letzterer kann sich insgesamt drei Mal durchsetzen, erstmals 1990. Die Turniere werden immer stärker und die Konkurrenz grösser. Der Sommer 1993 bildet einen weiteren Höhepunkt mit der erneuten Organisation eines Interzonenturniers mit 73 Spielern aus der ganzen Welt. Sieger wird Boris Gelfand. 1986: Eine neue Dimension Die Zuschauer und die Organisatoren sprechen von einem Übergangsjahr zwischen dem Interzonenturnier 1985 und dem Turnier 1987, dem zwanzigjährigen Jubiläum. Aber sie steigern sogar noch das Turnierangebot mit einem Grossmeisterturnier mit der erstmals erreichten Kategorie 12 sowie einem weiteren geschlossenen Turnier und einem Damen Turnier, das die Georgierin Nana Alexandria gewinnt. Nicht zu vergessen sind die weiteren Open, die sich über mehrere Tage oder sogar über die ganze Dauer erstrecken. Das Ganze ist aber nur durch einen Sponsorwechsel möglich, indem die UBS nach 5 Jahren den Platz der Credit Suisse überlässt. Dr. William Wirth, einer der Generaldirektoren der Grossbank mit Hauptsitz in Zürich, engagiert sich stark für die Unterstützung des Schachspiels. So profitieren ebenfalls andere Veranstalter vom Schachengagement der Bank, unter anderem auch der Schweizerische Schachverband. Die Unterstützung wird bis ins Jahr 1997 dauern. Es gibt drei Neuheiten zu erwähnen: Erstens können die Resultate über Videotext eingesehen werden, zweitens nimmt zum ersten Mal überhaupt ein Schachcomputer („Mephisto Amsterdam“) an einem Open teil und drittens wird ein ehemaliger Weltmeisterschaftskandidat, Lev Polugajevski aus der Sowjetunion, ins Grossmeisterturnier eingeladen.
