Top 10 Checkmate Pa Erns
GM Miguel Illescas and the Internet Chess Club present: Top 10 Checkmate Pa=erns GM Miguel Illescas doesn't need a presentation, but we're talking about one of the most inﬂuential chess players in the last decades, especially in Spain, just to put things in the right perspective. Miguel, so far, has won the Spanish national championship of 1995, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2007, and 2010. In team competitions, he has represented his country at many Olympiads, from 1986 onwards, and won an individual bronze medal at Turin in 2006. Miguel won international tournaments too, such as Las Palmas 1987 and 1988, Oviedo 1991, Pamplona 1991/92, 2nd at Leon 1992 (after Boris Gulko), 3rd at Chalkidiki 1992 (after Vladimir Kramnik and Joel Lautier), Lisbon Zonal 1993, and 2nd at Wijk aan Zee 1993 (after Anatoly Karpov). He kept winning during the latter part of the nineties, including Linares (MEX) 1994, Linares (ESP) Zonal 1995, Madrid 1996, and Pamplona 1997/98. Some Palmares! The ultimate goal of a chess player is to checkmate the opponent. We know that – especially at the higher level – it's rare to see someone get checkmated over the board, but when it happens, there is a sense of fulﬁllment that only a checkmate can give. To learn how to checkmate an opponent is not an easy task, though. Checkmating is probably the only phase of the game that can be associated with mathematics. Maths and checkmating have one crucial thing in common: patterns! GM Miguel is not going to show us a long list of checkmate examples: the series intends to teach patterns.

International Chess Congress
January / February 2008 NEWSLETTER OF THE ENGLISH CHESS FEDERATION £1.50 Celebration 83rd Hastings International Chess Congress www.hastingschess.org.uk The Mayor (Cllr. Maureen Charlesworth) and Hastings MP (Michael Foster) make the Cllr Maureen Charlesworth Mayor of Hastings presenting Golombek Trophy winners V. opening move for Vladimir Georgiev against Florian Dinger Malakhatko (Bel) N.Mamedev (Aze) V .Neverov(Ukr It was Stewart Reuben’s concept of having an event to celebrate the lives of the many people who have died within the past four years and who have enriched the chess scene with their work. What was surprising was that there were over 40 such people, whose brief obituaries (written by Stewart) appeared in the Congress programme. The Masters tournament has been reported in detail in the national press and particularly in the daily reports by Steve Giddins on the Congress website. So it remains to me to express appreciation to the arbiters. They worked a 12-hour day for 10 days, with no days off and with no proper mealbreak. So thanks to David Welch (our chief arbiter), Alex McFarlane, Lara Barnes, our Swedish arbiter Jan Berglund, John and Christine Constable. I should also mention the fringe events which provided the players with something to do every evening. We had master classes at Horntye Park given by GMs aimed at the junior players, Stewart Reuben’s Pairs Tournament at the Pig in Paradise Pub, the Chess Quiz (questions set mainly by Steve Giddins) also at the Pig in Paradise Pub, the two blitz tournaments run by Paul Buswell and Marc Bryant at the Carlisle Pub and the Chess Variants evening run by Mike Adams and Mike Gunn at the White Rock Hotel.

Occasionally he distances himself from the lead character, and at times he is that character, at first little Vovik from the fifties, who is engrossed in playing “cops and robbers” till dusk in the courtyards of Odessa, then Vova, a serious and independent boy, making decisions difficult even for grown-ups. “I was guiding him, a thinker and a bit of a bore, too proper, bookish and with no real life experience (where would it come from?), down the right path, or rather, I was helping him avoid clearly wrong ones.

COMPETING FANTASIES OF HUMANS AND MACHINES: SYMBOLIC CONVERGENCES IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE EVENTS COVERAGE _______________________________________ A Thesis presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri-Columbia _______________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts _____________________________________________________ by HAYDEN ROBERT LEWIS Dr. Margaret Duffy, Thesis Supervisor DECEMBER 2017 © Copyright by Hayden Lewis 2017 All Rights Reserved The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the thesis entitled COMPETING FANTASIES OF HUMANS AND MACHINES presented by Hayden Lewis, a candidate for the degree of master of arts, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor Margaret Duffy Professor Jon Stemmle Professor Sara Shipley-Hiles Professor Sandy Rikoon DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my parents, Anna and Robert, without whom none of this would have been possible, and due to whom I’ll always remember not to take myself too seriously — except when you’re trying to fool the academy into awarding you a master’s degree. Running Head: COMPETING FANTASIES OF HUMANS AND MACHINES Lewis ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Due to a general inclination to take inspiration from small and unexpected sources, the sheer scope of the acknowledgements I’d like to recognize as having influenced this thesis far surpasses what would fit on a standard acknowledgements page. So while I’m not normally one to stick to conventions, I’m obliged to keep this page concise and somewhat regrettably vanilla. In short, the completion of this thesis would not have been possible without the undying support of my committee, professors, and everyone else who helped me along this journey.

ISBN/EAN: 978-90-5691-668-8 Garry Kasparov Garry Kasparov is a fighter, both in chess and in life. The 13th World Champion regards his playing style as 'a symbiosis of the styles of Alekhine, Tal and Fischer'. Kasparov was known for his deep opening analysis, but also for his positional understanding and combinatory play. Do you want to adopt Kasparov-like thought processes in your own games? Try this tactics training book and play the same winning moves as the former World Champion did in his games! One hundred training exercises are offered, in positions where Kasparov turned the game in his favour. The puzzles start at a moderate level and gradually get more difficult. Don't give up! Garry Kasparov (1963) became World Chess Champion in 1985. Only 22, he dethroned Anatoly Karpov in a thrilling match. In 1986, 1987 and 1990 these chess giants faced each other again in World Championship Matches, but every time Kasparov managed to defend his title.
