NZ Chess I New Zealand Chess VoI 25 Number 4 August 1999 Contents 4 In this issue New Zealand Chess acknowledges the tremendous debt owed to IM Ortvin Sarapu by a whole generation of chess players in this country. For a bio- graphical record we have drawn details ofOrtvin's early life and playing record from the information he gave to Cecil Purdy shortly after his arrival in New Zealand and published in Chess World in l952.For a brief record and tribute to Ortvin's life and work for chess in New Zealand, we have drawn on IM Ben Mar- tin's tribute in Australian Chess Forum and the tribute which appeared in a bul- Ietin of the 1999 Ocearia Zonal Championship. 1 The archive of New T,ealand games assembled by Peter Stuart contains 735 played by Ortvin Sarapu. For a selection to be included in this tribute, New Zealand Chess decided that apart from several games against top grandmasters, we would not use games which appeared in Mr Chess - the Ortvin Sarapu s/ory, but we asked FM Jonathan Sarfati to make a representative selection of lesser-known but still significant games. The editor has selected a number of other games, including some by other players which illustrate Ortrvin's skill as an annotator and teacher. 11 Peter Stuart has assembled details of Ortvin Sarapu's playing record, lengthy but an essential part of Ortvin's life story. 23 Gordon Hoskyn summarises the latest state of NZCCA correspondence play. 24 A brief selection of New Zealand news - not curtailed by lack of space but by lack of copy. 25 IM Ben Martin and FM Jonathan Sarfati have been active in Australia. 27 Peter Stuart's Overseas News is a little dated by our delayed publication, but contains the usual selection of qualify GM games. The next issue: Reports on the South Island Championship and North Shore Open, also the Asian Junior in which Ryan Trass has played. Plus a selection of games, up- dated overseas news and hopefully more NZ news. New publishing arrangement far NZ Chess NZCF has accepted a new publishing arrangement for NZ Chess which is spreading the workload and will give greater flexibility in the size of the publication. Graeme Trass made an offer, which has been accepted, to arrange make-up and printing of the magazine in Taupo, plus distribution from there. Ted Frost continues to edit the magazine in the meantime. The new procedure has taken time to work out. As teething problems are sorted out, publication is expected to run smoothly and to time - we are looking to have the October issue out by the end of the month.

    Discovering the Baltics? Think Tallinn! Perspectives for New Zealand in the Baltic States A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Master of Arts in European Studies in the University of Canterbury by Vlad Alex Vernygora University of Canterbury Christchurch New Zealand 2011 Abstract This research work is driven by a desire to improve status quo in the area of New Zealand’s political, business and person-to-person relations with the post-Soviet Baltic Republics of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania (the Baltics or the Baltic States), which by now represent an integral part of the European Union (EU). The example of Estonia will be tested as a possible ‘gateway’ for New Zealand trying to undertake its most recent endeavours towards discovering the Baltic region. The dissertation’s response variable can be outlined as ‘New Zealand multi- dimensional interactions with the post-Soviet Baltic Republics, particularly with the Republic of Estonia’. At the same time, the descriptive nature of the dependent variable is planned to be expanded with the help of the manipulated variable that will lead this research work. The latter variable will be formulated as ‘Estonia, a democratic, transparent, free-market state, can be chosen as a ‘gateway’ for New Zealand politics, business circles and the public in their endeavours to succeed in the post-Soviet Baltic region of the EU’. Such an approach will give a chance to scrutinise the studied issues comprehensively, from several angles (such as ‘theoretical’, ‘operational’ and ‘structural’),

  • Early Australian Draughts Games
    This booklet presents a selection of early Australian draughts games. The new format for EARLY presenting the diagrams is the first to appear in the literature of draughts. I have developed a circle for the perimeter, with smaller circles AUSTRALIAN instead of squares for the playing field. The intention is to rejuvenate the grand old game of draughts in Australia. The board is based on DRAUGHTS a type of ‘roundsquare board’ originally created by W. T. Call circa 1909; it is named because the field is composed of circles instead GAMES of squares.

    Australian Correspondence Chess Quarterly Australia Post No PPn 230594/00010 Correspondence Chess League of Australia Postal Address: GPO Box 2360, Sydney, NSW, 2001 Website: www.iccf-australia.com May 2017 Vol. 70 No. 2 pp 25-48 $4.00 Editor: Shaun Press ISSN 819-7806 2 Auburn St, Amaroo, ACT, 2914 [email protected] In recent years the CCLA Council has done a lot of work to ensure the future of both Correspondence Chess in Australia, and the CCLA’s own role in supporting this. Realising that the future of CC is based on online chess, the CCLA has made a big effort to move most of its events to the ICCF server. Fortunately most of the membership has been able to go along with this move, allowing the CCLA to provide a better service for all. The flexibility of web based tournaments has allowed the CCLA to organise more events, more frequently. An example of this is the Interstate Teams Championship which is now growing into one of its strongest and most popular events. There is coverage of the 2016 tournament inside this issue, and the 2017 event is under way with a very strong field. The CCLA is also updating its web services, with the address of the new CCLA webserver listed on the masthead. Of course technology isn’t always perfect, and transferring the CCLA Ratings System across to the new server has resulted in missing CCLA ratings for this issue. The Council would also like to welcome Ryan Luey, who has taken on the role of Masterpoints Recorder.

  • The Superstar Effect: Evidence from Chess
    The Queen’s Gambit: Explaining the Superstar Effect Using Evidence from Chess * Eren Bilen† Alexander Matros‡ September 24, 2021 Abstract. Superstars exist in classrooms and workplaces. Superstars can either intimidate others by making their peers put in less effort, or they can encourage others by inspiring everybody to “step up” their game. In this study, we analyze direct and indirect effects of a superstar on their peers using evidence from chess. We find that the direct superstar effect is always negative. The indirect superstar effect depends on the intensity of the superstar: if the skill gap between the superstar and the rest is small (large), there is a positive (negative) peer effect.

    Australian Correspondence Chess Quarterly Australia Post No PPn 230594/00010 Correspondence Chess League of Australia Postal Address: GPO Box 2360, Sydney, NSW, 2001 Website: www.ccla.net.au February 2017 Vol. 70 No. 1 pp 1-24 $4.00 Editor: Shaun Press ISSN 819-7806 2 Auburn St, Amaroo, ACT, 2914 [email protected] Despite the date on the masthead, I am actually writing this editorial in March. A combination of an over long holiday, and catching up with outstanding tasks, are the main reason for this. Unfortunately the latest of this issue has a knock on effect for other CCLA activities, as the February issue is the last one before the start of the yearly championship events. As a consequence the deadline for entries has been pushed back to the end of this month, with an early April starting date now being scheduled. While I my overseas trip did not contain much CC business (apart from trying to keep up with my own games), I ended up doing a bit of writing for other periodicals. Based on my own experience with this (and other magazines), I contributed a few articles, assuming that they would need all the copy they could get. I was therefore very surprised when they asked if they could hold over some of my articles for future editions, as they already had enough content for the current issue! This is a stark contrast with the ACCQ, which is beginning to shrink as a periodical. Officially it is a 32 page magazine, but in recent years some issues have only contained 24 pages, and in fact this is now happening more often than not.
