    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.

  • 6Th London Chess Classic (6-14 December 2014)
    6TH LONDON CHESS CLASSIC (6-14 DECEMBER 2014) CLASSIC ROUND 4: 14 DECEMBER 2014 YOU’VE JUST BEEN SPACEBARRED With one round to go (starting at 2pm on Sunday), the Classic is nicely poised with five of the six players still able to finish first. Round four featured just the one decisive result, with Hikaru Nakamura beating Mickey Adams, which makes the scores as follows: Kramnik and Giri 6, Nakamura 5, Anand and Adams 4, Caruana 3. One of the great things about an international chess tournament is the exchange of ideas between people from different countries and cultures. From the beginning, the London Chess Classic has placed a great deal of importance on invitees putting in as positive a performance in the commentary room as they do at the board. Top chessplayers are highly intelligent people and have quickly realised that their livelihood depends as much on their ability to communicate as to play good moves. Consequently we now have a young generation of players with the confidence to innovate off the board linguistically as well as on it. Not just those who have English as their first language, either. It’s gratifying for us native Brits to have our language adopted worldwide as the first language of chess, but perhaps a bit scary too. As with our other notable export, football, where we have had to learn to endure other countries playing it a lot better than we do, we now have to live with people from non-English speaking countries being more articulate and creative in English than we are.
