    Chess Viewer the Power of XSL Lies in Its Ability to Perform Radical Transformations of the XML Data Source

    DEVELOPER'S ZONE SHOP SEARCH Products Demos Stories Solutions Support Download Customers Partners Company Sitemap Chess Viewer The power of XSL lies in its ability to perform radical transformations of the XML data source. This page contains yet another proof for this fact: you can build a chessgame viewer with a stylesheet! The source document is a transcription of a chess game played by Garry Kasparov against a chess supercomputer -- IBM Deep Blue. The game is encoded in a form resembling the well-known Portable Game Notation (PGN) format. The source is very compact: a sample game on this page [DeepBlue.xml] is less than 4 kBytes in size. The stylesheet converts this arid text into a sequence of board diagrams, drawing every intermediate position as a graphical image (a special chess font is used). Applying a 23 kB stylesheet [chess.xsl], we get a 415 kBytes (!) FO stream [DeepBlue.fo]. These numbers give an idea of how deep the transformation is. The final step of the whole procedure consists in converting the result into PDF using XEP. The resulting PDF file [DeepBlue.pdf] is much smaller than the source FO stream -- less than 90 kBytes. (XEP implements PDF compression). We hope XSL fans will enjoy this example; and XSL foes will acknowledge its power!

Ambitious players wanting a practical guide to the middle game will find that Ludek Pachman's great trilogy, which is completed with this volume, stands in a class of its own. In each of these books the need for understanding is emphasized: there are too many variations for any memory to store. The player must understand the basic principles involved and the typical positions or maneuvers that can arise. Ludek Pachman's examples will augment his experience and should facilitate finer judgments as to the types of position to aim for, how to plan for them and in the allocation of priorities. But games also need to be viewed as an entity, and for this reason the author has concentrated on teaching by means of whole games. Ludek Pachman, the West German and former Czechoslovak Grandmaster, has taken part in international chess since 1945.

Each player’s name is clickable – it will take you to the player’s Wikipedia page (or, if one does not exist, to a different chess-related page), where you can view the player’s biography and details of their career. If a philatelic item depicts a specific chess contest, said contest is mentioned in italics following the item. For each chess player, a short biography is given. It includes two types of competitions: 1.World Championship and its affiliate contests (Candidates Tournament, Interzonal Tournament, World Cup, FIDE Grand Prix, FIDE Grand Swiss Tournament), as well as major team competitions (Olympiads, World Team Championship, European Team Championship). 2.An event depicted in my “Chess History on Stamps” collection, no matter how minor or seemingly insignificant. After each contest and year in a player’s biography, the following information is given in brackets: 1.The place in which the player (or their team) finished the competition. Note that “(?)” means the place is unknown at the time, while “(0)” means the player or the team was participating as a non- contestant. 2.In a team competition, the following personal achievements of the player: -- being the best player at their board (BB) -- showing the best individual performance of the tournament (BP) If an achievement is actually depicted on a stamp or a philatelic item, the year of said achievement is bolded. 1 EXAMPLE: Let’s look at Nino Batsiashvili:

Clear, Concise Strategic InstructionBy R. TobiasThis is one of the classics of chess middlegame instruction. Covering more or less the same ground as Nimzovich's more famous 'My System', it is a condensation of the original three volume work. The most important principles are all here, however. Pachman was a very strong GM in his heyday, and he covers many vital topics with authority. Concise and clearly written essays are followed by superbly annotated games from many of the greats of the early and mid-twentieth century like Nimzovich, Alekhine, Smyslov and Botvinnik. Concepts like play in the center and on the wings, pawn structures, and how to play with the various pieces are are covered. The chapter on how to use your rooks is considered by some strong players to be so good that it alone is worth the price of the book.
