N. CHESS REVIEW, Vol. 1, No. 1. Auburn, ILLINois, JULY, 1886. PRICE 100. SALUTATORY. To THE CHEss PLAYERs, PRoblemists AND Solvºrs of AMERICA AND THE WoRLD-GREETING: Ah, there! Since my advent into the chess fraternity in April, 1885, as editor of the Au burn Citizen's chess department, my labors in that capacity have met with some favor; and I have reason to believe I have made not a few friends. The kindly way in which I was received into your circle and your liberal sup port in the mean time has put me into the motion of establishing the AMERICAN CHEss REview. I do not wish to intrude upon any of the “fraternity,” and as this great United States is large enough to hold over fifty millions of people, it is certainly of sufficient size to hold another little sixteen-pages monthly chess magazine at $1.00 per year—to foreign countries, $1.15. If you like it, subscribe; if you do not–well, subscribe “anyway.” In each number you will find the results of current club and column tourna ments, movements of noted players, a choice selection of original and prize prob lems, games, copiously annotated, and other things. - Being a practical printer, I think I can suit you in the make-up of each num ber. Solutions will be published in the second number after publication of the prob lems. Solutions, problems, games, items of general interst (and a dollar) invit ed from everybody. Respectfully, CHARLEs F. WADsworth. THE NEWS. —The scheme to amalgamate the West Yorkshire Chess Association with the Yorkshire County Chess Club was defeated at a meeting of the former, held May 29th, at Church Institute, Dewsbury. Representatives were present from Leeds, Bradford, Dewsbury and Wakefield, and the following resolutions were adopted: “That this meeting recommends that it is not desirable to amalgamate the West Yorkshire Chess Associatian with the Yorkshire County Chess Club. *That we consider it desirable that the personal expenses attendant upon the meetings, both as to charge for tea and entrance fee to tournaments, shall lie within the discretion of the committee of the entertaining club. “That it is desirable that more time shall be devoted to social intercourse. “That this meeting be now adjourned until October next, and that Messrs. White and Cassel be appointed as a sub-committee to revise the rules of the as sociation and present their report to the next meeting of delegates, which shall be called upon a date fixed by the sub-committee.” 2 AMERICAN CHESS REVIEW. —The leaders in the Auburn Citizen's second solution tourney, as given up to July 1st, are: John D.

Our reasons for using it are: First, when “Kt” is used, should the t be broken off or damaged, the K would remain, and after the student had vainly spent half an hour search ing for the move, he would jump up and claw the air and yell for gore!! The S knocks the left eye out of any possibility of the introduction of any new gore shedding process. Second, S it quicker to write. Third, saves time in compos ition, as one type can be set in less time than two.

  • The Wangling Wizards the Chess Problems of the Warton Brothers
    The Wangling Wizards The chess problems of the Warton brothers Compiled by Michael McDowell ½ û White to play and mate in 3 British Chess Problem Society 2005 The Wangling Wizards Introduction Tom and Joe Warton were two of the most popular British chess problem composers of the twentieth century. They were often compared to the American "Puzzle King" Sam Loyd because they rarely composed problems illustrating formal themes, instead directing their energies towards hoodwinking the solver. Piquant keys and well-concealed manoeuvres formed the basis of a style that became known as "Wartonesque" and earned the brothers the nickname "the Wangling Wizards". Thomas Joseph Warton was born on 18 th July 1885 at South Mimms, Hertfordshire, and Joseph John Warton on 22 nd September 1900 at Notting Hill, London. Another brother, Edwin, also composed problems, and there may have been a fourth composing Warton, as a two-mover appeared in the August 1916 issue of the Chess Amateur under the name G. F. Warton. After a brief flourish Edwin abandoned composition, although as late as 1946 he published a problem in Chess . Tom and Joe began composing around 1913. After Tom’s early retirement from the Metropolitan Police Force they churned out problems by the hundred, both individually and as a duo, their total output having been estimated at over 2600 problems. Tom died on 23rd May 1955. Joe continued to compose, and in the 1960s published a number of joints with Jim Cresswell, problem editor of the Busmen's Chess Review , who shared his liking for mutates. Many pleasing works appeared in the BCR under their amusing pseudonym "Wartocress".

  • American Chess-Nuts
    AMERICAN CHESS-NUTS A COLLECTION OF PROBLEMS BY COMPOSERS OF THE WESTERN WORLD. EDITED BY E. B. COOK, W. R. HENRY, AND C. A. GILBERG. [ 1868 ] “Sweetest nut hath sourest rind.” An Electronic Edition Anders Thulin, Malmö · preliminary version AMERICAN CHESS-NUTS INTRODUCTION he most appropriate prelude to an opening of the Nuts, seems to be an account of how these leaves have grown and borne their fruit. T In February, 1859, the writer received a very interesting anonymous letter, calculated to excite the desire of becoming better acquainted with its author. “I do not know,” said the unknown, “whether you are a collector of Chess Curiosities. I hope you are not. And yet, I inconsis- tently enclose title and specimen pages of a Chess book that was neither printed nor published, and of which the only copy is to be found in my Chess library (eighty volumes, with prospects of a speedy increase to one hundred and thirty—all modern works of practical value.) This work is intended to consist of a pretty complete collection of such problems as have appeared in newspapers, etc. It now contains about four thousand positions; but whether I shall have the patience to make any great addition to this number, I cannot undertake to say, although my notation is concise enough to enable me to copy in one evening sometimes as many as a hundred problems and their solutions.” The title page referred to was in print, and read : “Chess-Nuts; a Collection of Problems and End Games.” In the Correspondence of the Problem Department of the Chess Monthly was inserted a notice to “Cryptograph, New York,” in which he was told that the writer “would be delighted to see —— at his residence.” This led to a second missive, signed by the real name of the mysterious correspondent.

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.

  • Chapter 10, Different Objectives of Play
    Chapter 10 Different objectives of play [The normal objective of a game of chess is to give checkmate. Some of the games which can be played with chessmen have quite different objectives, and two of them, Extinction Chess and Losing Chess, have proved to be among the most popular of all chess variants.] 10.1 Capturing or baring the king Capturing the king. The Chess Monthly than about the snobbery of Mr Donisthorpe!] hosted a lively debate (1893-4) on the suggestion of a Mr Wordsworth Donisthorpe, Baring the king. The rules of the old chess whose very name seems to carry authority, allowed a (lesser) win by ‘bare king’ and that check and checkmate, and hence stalemate, and Réti and Bronstein have stalemate, should be abolished, the game favoured its reintroduction.

The the Bronstein reference, but Réti’s will be purpose of this proposed reform was to reduce found on page 178 of the English edition of the number of draws then (as now) prevalent Modern Ideas in Chess.

Donisthorpe claimed that both only in respect of stalemate, though the words Blackburne and the American master James ‘the original rules’ within it can be read as Mason were in favour of the change, adding supporting bare king as well, and perhaps ‘I have little doubt the reform would obtain I ought to quote it in full.

I was 21 years old, already married with two kids, rated 2049, and still trying to “make master”—a quest that began in 1961 at the New York City Junior Championship, where I’d scored only 3-3, but did win the “best-played game” prize awarded by GM Bill Lombardy, and got my first US Chess rating (1704).
