Korchnoi-Geller, 7Th Match-Game, Candidates (The annotations to the following game, by Mikhail Tal, appear in '64' (№ 23, 1971). The translation from the original Russian is by Douglas Griffin.) Korchnoi - Geller 7h match-game, FIDE Candidates’ Quarter-final, Moscow, 26th May 1971 The 7th and 8th games of the Geller-Korchnoi match were fated to be the last. Undoubtedly, the nerves of the participants in this duel were stretched to the limit, but if Korchnoi on the whole did not change his playing 'script', then the Moscow grandmaster was unusually passive. 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.g3 The system associated with the fianchetto of the king's bishop is very often employed by the Leningrad grandmaster. 3...c6 Offering to the opponent a transposition to the Gruenfeld Defence (4.Bg2 d5). 4.d5 Declining the offer. If my memory does not betray me, such a variation was already encountered in one of the games between Korchnoi and Geller from the Candidates' tournament in Curaçao. (Translator’s note: Tal's memory was not at fault; the game Korchnoi-Geller, from the 1st round of the Candidates' tournament, had gone 4.d5 Bg7 5.Bg2 d6 6.Nc3 0–0 7.Nf3 e5 8.0–0 cxd5 9.cxd5 , etc.) 4...cxd5 5.cxd5 d6 6.Nc3 Bg7 7.Bg2 XIIIIIIIIY 8rsnlwqk+-tr0 7zpp+-zppvlp0 6-+-zp-snp+0 5+-+P+-+-0 4-+-+-+-+0 3+-sN-+-zP-0 2PzP-+PzPLzP0 1tR-vLQmK-sNR0 xabcdefghy 7...Qa5! An interesting move. Into White's plan comes play on the queen's flank, associated with the possible transfer of the knight along the route g1–f3–d2–c4 (b3). Now 8.Nf3 is impossible on account of 8...Ne4 or 8...Nxd5. In preventing this threat, White posts the bishop at d2, thereby depriving the knight of this important square. 8.Bd2 (Translator’s note: Later, in the game Furman-Vasiukov (40th USSR Championship Semi-final, Uzhgorod 1972) White tried instead 8.e4 , but after 8...Bg4 9.f3 the continuation 9...Nxe4! would have been very strong.) 8...0–0 9.e3 Again there is not 9.Nf3 on account of 9...Nxd5. 9...Nbd7 10.Nge2 Ne5 XIIIIIIIIY 8r+l+-trk+0 7zpp+-zppvlp0 6-+-zp-snp+0 5wq-+Psn-+-0 4-+-+-+-+0 3+-sN-zP-zP-0 2PzP-vLNzPLzP0 1tR-+QmK-+R0 xabcdefghy Black has played the opening succesfully, and his position is at any rate no worse. 11.0–0 Nc4 12.Bc1 Bg4 Black provokes the weakening advance f2–f3. Naturally, Korchnoi avoids this move. 13.Qb3 Rfc8 Escalating the pressure on the queen's flank. White naturally cannot continue 14.Qxb7? Rab8 15.Qxe7 Re8, and the queen is caught. 14.Nd4 Bd7 A struggle around the advance ...b7–b5 is underway. 15.Rd1 Rab8 16.h3 In order, in a series of cases, to cover the square g4. 16...a6 Having achieved an imposing position, Geller (as, incidentally, in the 8th game) does not act confidently enough. Deserving preference is the immediate 16...b5. Possibly Black feared the invasion of the knight at c6, but after 17.Nc6 Bxc6 18.dxc6 Qb6 Black has an excellent game. 17.a3 The beginning of an interesting plan, associated with the 'smoking out' of the c4–knight. One is left with the impression that this plan was not figured out by Black in time. Otherwise he would have necessarily have advanced his pawn to b5. 17...Qc5 18.Qa2! Rc7 19.Nce2! This is Korchnoi's idea. White clears the path for the b-pawn. With the position of the knight at c3 its advance was impossible on account of the capture at e3. 19...Rbc8 Geller thought for rather a long time over this move. The black pieces, which were not so long ago actively placed, have become objects of attack. 20.b3 Ne5! Very passive would have been 20...Nb6 21.e4 , when it is very far from simple to unravel the tangle of black pieces on the queen's flank. XIIIIIIIIY 8-+r+-+k+0 7+ptrlzppvlp0 6p+-zp-snp+0 5+-wqPsn-+-0 4-+-sN-+-+0 3zPP+-zP-zPP0 2Q+-+NzPL+0 1tR-vLR+-mK-0 xabcdefghy 21.Bd2!? It is generally known that the Leningrad grandmaster reveres the acquisition of material. But on this occasion the win of a piece with 21.f4 proves not to be to his liking. Black would probably have continued 21...Qb6 , and if 22.fxe5 dxe5, then after a retreat by the knight the black rook bursts onto the 2nd rank. White, of course, is not obliged to take the knight immediately; he could continue, say, 22.Rb1, but in this case too the position remains very tense. Here is an approximate variation: 22...Nh5 23.fxe5 dxe5 24.Nf3 Rc2 25.Rb2 Rxc1!. Therefore Korchnoi prefers the struggle with equal material. 21...Be8 The knight must all the same be saved. Again bad is 21...Nxd5 22.b4. 22.Rac1 Qb6 23.Rxc7 Rxc7 24.Bc3 The pawn at d5 noticeably restricts Black's activity. Experiencing a shortage of space, Black aims at exchanges. 24...Bb5 25.Qd2 Bxe2 26.Ba5! Qa7 27.Nxe2 Now White has the advantage of the two bishops - a factor which could become very important after the exchange of the heavy pieces. 27...Rc8 28.Rc1 Qb8 29.Rc2 Possibly more accurate was 29.Rxc8+ Qxc8 30.Qc1. Here both players were experiencing a slight shortage of time. 29...Ned7 Exploiting the possibility of transferring the knight to a more active position. 30.Qc1 Rc5 31.Rxc5 Nxc5 32.Qc2 Qe8 33.Nd4 h5 A time-trouble oversight in a difficult position, which White (also on account of time trouble) fails to exploit. XIIIIIIIIY 8-+-+q+k+0 7+p+-zppvl-0 6p+-zp-snp+0 5vL-snP+-+p0 4-+-sN-+-+0 3zPP+-zP-zPP0 2-+Q+-zPL+0 1+-+-+-mK-0 xabcdefghy 34.Bb4 White forcibly achieved a decisive advantage, continuing 34.b4 . At Black's disposal there were three possibilities: 1) 34...Na4 35.Nc6 bxc6 36.Qxa4 with a decisive advantage for White. 2) 34...Qa4 35.bxc5 Qxa5 36.c6. 3) 34...Ncd7 35.Qc7 Qb8 (in the case of 35...Qa8 36.Nc6! is again decisive) 36.Qxb8+ Nxb8 37.Nc6!. 34...Qc8 35.a4 Qc7 36.a5 Serious attention was merited by 36.Ba3 and, in order to prevent the threatened b3–b4, Black would have been forced to continue 36...a5, weakening the b5–square (bad is 36...Qa5 37.b4! Qxa4 38.bxc5 Qxa3 39.c6). 36...Ne8 37.Ne2 Nd7 38.Qe4 Kf8 39.Qb1 Ne5 40.Bd2 Qc5 Time trouble is over, and the game was adjourned. 41.Nd4 Nd7 Very dangerous is 41...Nf6 on account of 42.f4 Ned7 43.Ne6+ fxe6 44.dxe6 Nb8 45.Qxg6 Kg8 46.g4 with an attack that can hardly be resisted. Also unfavourable for Black is 41...Nc7 42.b4 Qc4 43.Bf1! Qxd5 44.Qc2 with a dangerous assault on the queen's flank. Possibly, the most peaceful of all was 41...Kg8. XIIIIIIIIY 8-+-+nmk-+0 7+p+nzppvl-0 6p+-zp-+p+0 5zP-wqP+-+p0 4-+-sN-+-+0 3+P+-zP-zPP0 2-+-vL-zPL+0 1+Q+-+-mK-0 xabcdefghy (Translator’s note: - Regarding this game and the position after 41...Nd7 in particular, Korchnoi, in Chess is My Life (1977) writes: “In the 7th game Geller again turned to the King's Indian. He played the opening imaginatively and obtained an excellent game. In the middlegame I managed to neutralise the pressure on my position, and there was now a slight advantage on my side. The game was adjourned in a position which, 'according to the experts' was better for me. But, hard as I tried, I could find no real advantage. I attached great importance to the resumption of this game, and therefore the following day, for the first time in the history of matches for the World Championship, I asked for a postponement on the adjournment day! I prepared to play the 8th game the day after this, but now it was Geller who asked for a postponement. I don't know what he had in mind, but I devoted these days to a serious analysis of the adjourned position. There was no possibility of winning by quiet play. My second, Osnos, suggested an unexpected piece sacrifice. It too did not give a win, but Black was forced to defend accurately, and White did not risk a great deal... he could still draw. I don't know what Geller did for those three days, but of course he hadn't analysed the piece sacrifice. At the board he failed to find the best defence, and in addition again ran short of time. I won.") 42.Ne6+!? As is well known, Geller very much dislikes to find himself under attack, and therefore the knight sacrifice (objectively speaking not the strongest continuation) was very unpleasant for him, the more so since in the analysis of the adjourned position he had seemingly spent insufficient time on this possibility. 42...fxe6 43.dxe6 Ne5! Much stronger than 43...Ndf6 44.Qxg6 Kg8 45.g4, and the position of the knight at f6 gives White an important tempo for the advance of the g-pawn. 44.f4 XIIIIIIIIY 8-+-+nmk-+0 7+p+-zp-vl-0 6p+-zpP+p+0 5zP-wq-sn-+p0 4-+-+-zP-+0 3+P+-zP-zPP0 2-+-vL-+L+0 1+Q+-+-mK-0 xabcdefghy Here Geller thought for a long time and took a clearly poor decision - to return the sacrificed piece to the opponent.

    Virginia Chess Newsletter 1999 - #6 1 The Chesapeake Challenge Cup is a rotating club team trophy that grew out of an informal rivalry between two Maryland clubs a couple years ago. Since Chesapeake then the competition has opened up and the Arlington Chess Club captured the cup from the Fort Meade Chess Armory on October 15, 1999, defeating the 1 1 Challenge Cup erstwhile cup holders 6 ⁄2-5 ⁄2. The format for the Chesapeake Cup is still evolving but in principle the idea is that a defense should occur about once every six months, and any team from the “Chesapeake Bay drainage basin” is eligible to issue a challenge. “Choosing the challenger is a rather informal process,” explained Kurt Eschbach, one of the Chesapeake Cup's founding fathers. “Whoever speaks up first with a credible bid gets to challenge, except that we will give preference to a club that has never played for the Cup over one that has already played.” To further encourage broad participation, the match format calls for each team to field players of varying strength. The basic formula stipulates a 12-board match between teams composed of two Masters (no limit), two Expert, and two each from classes A, B, C & D. The defending team hosts the match and plays White on odd-numbered boards. It is possible that a particular challenge could include additional type boards (juniors, seniors, women, etc) by mutual agreement between the clubs. Clubs interested in coming to Arlington around April, 2000 to try to wrest away the Chesapeake Cup should call Dan Fuson at (703) 532-0192 or write him at 2834 Rosemary Ln, Falls Church VA 22042.

  • History of Chess from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia for the Book by H
    History of chess From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For the book by H. J. R. Murray, see A History of Chess. Real-size resin reproductions of the 12th century Lewis chessmen. The top row shows king, queen, and bishop. The bottom row shows knight, rook, and pawn. The history of chess spans some 1500 years. The earliest predecessor of the game probably originated in India, before the 6th century AD. From India, the game spread to Persia. When the Arabs conquered Persia, chess was taken up by the Muslim world and subsequently spread to Southern Europe. In Europe, chess evolved into roughly its current form in the 15th century. The "Romantic Era of Chess" was the predominant chess playing style down to the 1880s. It was characterized by swashbuckling attacks, clever combinations, brash piece sacrifices and dynamic games. Winning was secondary to winning with style. These games were focused more on artistic expression, rather than technical mastery or long-term planning. The Romantic era of play was followed by the Scientific, Hypermodern, and New Dynamism eras.[1] In the second half of the 19th century, modern chess tournament play began, and the first World Chess Championship was held in 1886. The 20th century saw great leaps forward in chess theory and the establishment of the World Chess Federation (FIDE). Developments in the 21st century include use ofcomputers for analysis, which originated in the 1970s with the first programmed chess games on the market. Online gaming appeared in the mid-1990s.

  • Conference Committees and Amendments Between the Houses
    Resolving Legislative Differences in Congress: Conference Committees and Amendments Between the Houses Updated May 22, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov 98-696 Resolving Legislative Differences in Congress: Conference Committees and Amendments Summary The Constitution requires that the House and Senate approve the same bill or joint resolution in precisely the same form before it is presented to the President for his signature or veto. To this end, both houses must pass the same measure and then attempt to reach agreement about its provisions. The House and Senate may be able to reach agreement by an exchange of amendments between the houses. Each house has one opportunity to amend the amendments from the other house, so there can be Senate amendments to House amendments to Senate amendments to a House bill. House amendments to Senate bills or amendments are privileged for consideration on the Senate floor; Senate amendments to House bills or amendments generally are not privileged for consideration on the House floor. In practice, the House often disposes of amendments between the houses under the terms of a special rule reported by the Rules Committee. The Senate sometimes disposes of House amendments by unanimous consent, but the procedures associated with the exchange of amendments can become complicated. Alternatively, the House and Senate can each disagree to the position of the other on a bill and then agree to create a conference committee to propose a package settlement of all their disagreements. Most conferees are drawn from the standing committees that had considered the bill initially. The House or Senate may vote to instruct its conferees before they are appointed, but such instructions are not binding.
