  • Proposal to Encode Heterodox Chess Symbols in the UCS Source: Garth Wallace Status: Individual Contribution Date: 2016-10-25
    Title: Proposal to Encode Heterodox Chess Symbols in the UCS Source: Garth Wallace Status: Individual Contribution Date: 2016-10-25 Introduction The UCS contains symbols for the game of chess in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. These are used in figurine notation, a common variation on algebraic notation in which pieces are represented in running text using the same symbols as are found in diagrams. While the symbols already encoded in Unicode are sufficient for use in the orthodox game, they are insufficient for many chess problems and variant games, which make use of extended sets. 1. Fairy chess problems The presentation of chess positions as puzzles to be solved predates the existence of the modern game, dating back to the mansūbāt composed for shatranj, the Muslim predecessor of chess. In modern chess problems, a position is provided along with a stipulation such as “white to move and mate in two”, and the solver is tasked with finding a move (called a “key”) that satisfies the stipulation regardless of a hypothetical opposing player’s moves in response. These solutions are given in the same notation as lines of play in over-the-board games: typically algebraic notation, using abbreviations for the names of pieces, or figurine algebraic notation. Problem composers have not limited themselves to the materials of the conventional game, but have experimented with different board sizes and geometries, altered rules, goals other than checkmate, and different pieces. Problems that diverge from the standard game comprise a genre called “fairy chess”. Thomas Rayner Dawson, known as the “father of fairy chess”, pop- ularized the genre in the early 20th century.

  • Chess by Vincent Diepeveen
    Chess by Vincent Diepeveen Chess History Chess found its origin in India well over 1500 years ago th Most sources quote the 6 century A.D. and even before that.. From India it reaches Persia (Iran) The rules gradually change; the queen and bishop become more powerful and the pawn can move two squares The name Chess comes from the Persian word for king: Shah Chess Some centuries later, Muslim rulers who conquer Persia spread the game of chess to Europe th Around the 15 century the rules start to be similar to todays chess rules Where rules are pretty much the same since then, the way the pieces look like definitely isn't, not even today! th Most western tournaments the standard is Staunton, from 19 century UK Original Staunton 1849 Replica's are already around $2000 a set Russian Chess pieces (modern) Actually similar (cheaper) sets you can encounter in the east in tournaments; the below set is already a couple of hundreds of dollars in the stores – note shape similar to Staunton Renaissance Style Chess pieces Please note that there is no cross on the king It's possible Staunton gets that credit... Most chessplayers find this easier Blindfolded Chess Actually chess players don't need to see the chess pieces at all Nearly all titled chess players can play blindfolded Question for the audience: How strong do titled chess players play blindfolded? Blindfolded Strength Playing regularly blindfolded hardly loses strength to OTB (over the board) Own experience: The first few moves after opening are actually the hardest moves

  • The Classified Encyclopedia of Chess Variants
    THE CLASSIFIED ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CHESS VARIANTS I once read a story about the discovery of a strange tribe somewhere in the Amazon basin. An eminent anthropologist recalls that there was some evidence that a space ship from Mars had landed in the area a millenium or two earlier. ‘Good heavens,’ exclaims the narrator, are you suggesting that this tribe are the descendants of Martians?’ ‘Certainly not,’ snaps the learned man, ‘they are the original Earth-people — it is we who are the Martians.’ Reflect that chess is but an imperfect variant of a game that was itself a variant of a germinal game whose origins lie somewhere in the darkness of time.

  • Made in China
    Made In China By Jon Crumiller © 2016 Worldchess.com Napoleon was in exile on the island of St. Helena in 1817, when his zealous followers, eager for a triumphant return, devised a plan of escape. To notify their deposed leader, they hid the instructions – the time and place of a jailbreak rendezvous – within a rook of an ornamental Chinese chess set. A French officer was sent to deliver the set and disclose the hidden plans, but fate intervened: the officer died on the voyage. Napoleon, unsuspecting, played chess with his special set for the rest of his life, never knowing that the secret plans for his return to power were only a rook move away. Although this story is portrayed as an actual historical event by several trustworthy sources, the specific facts and dates seem to be missing. But even if this tale is apocryphal, it is true that Napoleon was presented with a beautiful Chinese chess set while in exile. The set later became the property of George Vanderbilt, and today the set is housed at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. Ironically, the set used the pattern known as “Cantonese King George,” because the white king and queen represent King George III and Queen Charlotte of England – but this type of set was also manufactured with Emperor Napoleon and Empress Joséphine as the white king and queen! Perhaps the symbolism would have been too explicit for Napoleon’s captors; another Chinese set had been barred for delivery because it was inscribed with the imperial insignia and the letter N.

    ChessX NEW ADDITIONS TO THE GAME OF CHESS Marc J. Seifer, Ph.D. [email protected] © U.S. Copyright April 25, 2015 Machines are taking over our lives and they are also doing a good amount of the thinking for us. The game of Chess has reached a point whereby a computer can beat a human virtually anytime. It is for this reason that I designed this new addition to the game of Chess. It starts with a new piece called TEMPLAR, a piece constructed so as to not disrupt the intent and majesty of the original game. I have come up with a new idea on how to expand the game of Chess while at the same time leaving the original game perfectly in tact. This proposal involves the manufacturing of a new piece, the the Knight’s TEMPLAR, include two copies of it, white and black, with a booklet that could be sold in bookstores, toy and drug stores and over the internet. Call me. It’s your move! 1 ChessX NEW ADDITIONS TO THE GAME OF CHESS Marc J. Seifer, Ph.D. Box 32, Kingston, RI 02881 [email protected] © U.S. Copyright April 25, 2015 PROLOGUE This treatise has three phases. Phase I shall introduce a new piece to the game of Chess. This piece can be introduced without disrupting the present set-up of a Chess board that is 8 X 8 squares, or the board could be extended to 9 X 9. Phase II shall introduce additional pieces and Phase III will offer alternative Chess games which can be played by two, three or four people, introducing as many as 9 new pieces to be played on a 10 X 10 Chess board.

    Rastko "iri' FAIRY CHESS MANUAL ECCENTRIC CHESS (Fairy chess in brief) Chess has its own bogies and beasties – mythological creatures that can appear at any moment on the black & white board, and not be seen by the majority of ordinary chess players. With this manual, you can take a peek at the other side of the chess looking-glass, so that in future encounters with the “syren”, “grasshopper” or “night rider”, you will recognize them as tame aliens and play with them. These elves did not appear out of nowhere, they are inhabitants of a paralel world – fairy (heterodox) chess. It is a real gallaxy with an infinite number of chess planets on which some things in the basic rules are changed in a heretical way> the aim of the game, the number of players, the way the chess-pieces move, the shape or size of the chess-board and many more, with one exception> no matter how unusual they may be, the rules of each planet are equally strict and obligatory. Although the borders of normal chess are themselves too wide, and the life of its devotees too short for learning all the secrets between the eight lines and the eight rows, chess fantasy has been explored for a long time. In the oldest Arabic manu- scripts on chess, from about 1300 years ago, imaginary endings of some non-existing games were depicted. Just as the art of painting started with the cave paintings from Altamira, the art of chess problems appeared out of these first tasks to be solved, called “mansubas”, involving everything irrational and out of the of- ficial chess routine.

  • Animal, Vegetable, Mineral Exhibition Brochure
    In 2016, the World Chess Hall of Fame (WCHOF) celebrates its fifth year in Saint Louis. Animal, Vegetable, Mineral: Natural Splendors from the Chess Collection of Dr. George & Vivian Dean revisits the subject of one of the first exhibitions presented at the WCHOF. Chess Masterpieces: Highlights from the Dr. George & Vivian Dean Collection, on view from September 9, 2011 to February 12, 2012, offered our visitors a first look at a selection of precious chess sets from the Deans’ collection. The rare and beautiful chess sets provide a unique view of the past, whether through the stories of the individuals who owned them or the tales they tell through their iconography. Chess set collectors have a special place in the history of the WCHOF. When the institution was located in Miami, Florida, from 2001 to 2009, collectors including Dr. George and Vivian Dean, Bernice and Floyd Sarisohn, and Frank Camaratta, among others donated a number of sets to build the institution’s collection and illustrate the diversity and history of chess sets from different eras and locations. Since the WCHOF moved to Saint Louis in 2011, we have hosted two meetings of Chess Collectors International (CCI), an organization that Dr. George Dean founded in 1984 for the study and promulgation of the art and history of chess artifacts. Additionally, Barbara and Bill Fordney have donated sets to the WCHOF’s collection, and many members of CCI including the Deans, Richard Benjamin, Jon Crumiller, Duncan Pohl, Bernice and Floyd Sarisohn, and Allan Savage have loaned artifacts for our shows. After 24 exhibitions, we are pleased to again work with Dr.
