  • Transfers Responses to NT Opening Bids
    Auckland Bridge Club Improvers Sessions Transfers Responses to NT Opening Bids Basic responses 2. Stayman, asking partner to bid a 4 card major or 2♦ without one. 2 Promises at least five hearts and orders partner to bid 2. 2 Promises at least five spades and orders partner to bid 2. The use of 2 There are several different meanings that players use for 2 and 2NT in and 2NT response to partner’s 1NT opening. In Modern Acol the meanings are as follows: 2 Either a raise to 2NT without a 4-card major, usually 11-12 points. Or a strong hand with at least game forcing values, looking for the best game or slam, say 18 or more points. Usually the hand will have no 5-card suit. It asks opener a question. Are you a minimum? If so bid 2NT. Or are you a maximum, in which case bid your lowest 4-card suit. 2NT Since hands that would have bid 2NT now bid 2, we now have a bid without a meaning. So we use it as a transfer to a minor. You need a weak 6-card minor suit (either clubs or diamonds). It tells Opener to bid 3. which you pass if clubs is your suit or you bid 3 if you have diamonds. Then he will pass. Responder’s second bid after making a transfer response Bid Auction goes 1NT - 2 - 2 Typical hand Pass My 2 transfer was a weak take-out in spades.

  • 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. [I haven’t traced ending with the capture of the king. 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. It is in fact explicit in master play. 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. After expounding the support of both Universities’ which says the ancient rules, he continues: ‘Those were something about the standing of Oxford and romantic times for chess.

  • Dutchman Who Did Not Drink Beer. He Also Surprised My Wife Nina by Showing up with Flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital Just Before She Gave Birth to My Son Mitchell
    168 The Bobby Fischer I Knew and Other Stories Dutchman who did not drink beer. He also surprised my wife Nina by showing up with flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital just before she gave birth to my son Mitchell. I hadn't said peep, but he had his quiet ways of finding out. Max was quiet in another way. He never discussed his heroism during the Nazi occupation. Yet not only did he write letters to Alekhine asking the latter to intercede on behalf of the Dutch martyrs, Dr. Gerard Oskam and Salo Landau, he also put his life or at least his liberty on the line for several others. I learned of one instance from Max's friend, Hans Kmoch, the famous in-house annotator at AI Horowitz's Chess Review. Hans was living at the time on Central Park West somewhere in the Eighties. His wife Trudy, a Jew, had constant nightmares about her interrogations and beatings in Holland by the Nazis. Hans had little money, and Trudy spent much of the day in bed screaming. Enter Nina. My wife was working in the New York City welfare system and managed to get them part-time assistance. Hans then confided in me about how Dr. E greased palms and used his in­ fluence to save Trudy's life by keeping her out of a concentration camp. But mind you, I heard this from Hans, not from Dr. E, who was always Max the mum about his good deeds. Mr. President In 1970, Max Euwe was elected president of FIDE, a position he held until 1978.
