  • Monarch Assurance International Open Chess
    Isle of Man (IoM) Open The event of 2016 definitely got the Isle of Man back on the international chess map! Isle of Man (IoM) Open has been played under three different labels: Monarch Assurance International Open Chess Tournament at the Cherry Orchard Hotel (1st-10th), later Ocean Castle Hotel (11th-16th), always in Port Erin (1993 – 2007, in total 16 annual editions) PokerStars Isle of Man International (2014 & 15) in the Royal Hall at the Villa Marina in Douglas Chess.com Isle of Man International (since 2016) in the Royal Hall at the Villa Marina in Douglas The Isle of Man is a self-governing Crown dependency in the Irish Sea between England and Northern Ireland. The island has been inhabited since before 6500 BC. In the 9th century, Norsemen established the Kingdom of the Isles. Magnus III, King of Norway, was also known as King of Mann and the Isles between 1099 and 1103. In 1266, the island became part of Scotland and came under the feudal lordship of the English Crown in 1399. It never became part of the Kingdom of Great Britain or its successor the United Kingdom, retaining its status as an internally self-governing Crown dependency. http://iominternationalchess.com/ For a small country, sport in the Isle of Man plays an important part in making the island known to the wider world. The principal international sporting event held on the island is the annual Isle of Man TT motorcycling event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_in_the_Isle_of_Man#Other_sports Isle of Man also organized the 1st World Senior Team Chess Championship, In Port Erin, Isle Of Man, 5-12 October 2004 http://www.saund.co.uk/britbase/worldseniorteam2004/ Korchnoi who had to hurry up to the forthcoming 2004 Chess Olympiad at Calvià, agreed to play the first four days for the team of Switzerland which took finally the bronze medal, performing at 3.5/4, drawing vs.

    Chief Editor: Jos Jacobs, Layout Editor: George Hatzidakis Bulletin 3 - Tuesday, 7 October 2008 FIRST GOLD TO EASTERN EUROPE Alexandra Kosteniuk On Sunday evening the first two national anthems were heard in the Convention Hall No. 3 of the BICC. They were the well-known hymn of the Russian Federation and the less well-known anthem of its neighbour state Ukraine. This was in celebration of the first two gold medals won at these 1st World Mind Sports Games. Both finals were a completely Eastern European affair. The countries of Eastern Europe have been dominating the world chess scene for many decades already, as was proved again here in Beijing.

  • Robert Graham Wade, an Appreciation
    Robert Graham Wade, an appreciation. On May 20th, 1919, Thomas Graham Wade, aged 27, Sergeant in the NZ Expeditionary Force, repatriated with honour from war-time service in Egypt, Gallipoli and France, married Amy Lilian Neave, aged 21, in South Dunedin. A New Zealander of Scots and English descent, his family was Graham from Montrose. The family name, Wade, came from Marshall George Wade, the soldier and engineer who led the Hanoverian forces against the Scots at the time of the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion and was immortalised in the original third verse of the British national anthem: Lord, grant that Marshal Wade, May by thy mighty aid, Victory bring. May he sedition hush and like a torrent rush, Rebellious Scots to crush, God save the King. Robert Graham Wade, known in the Scots manner to his family as Robin, and later to his many friends as Bob, was their first child, born April 10th, 1921, at Dunedin. Over the next few years he was joined by sisters, Lilian, Agnes, Betty, June, his brother Ted and finally by his youngest sister Amy. The family lived for a number of years at Portobello. At that time, Portobello was a scattered community of about 150 people with three shops and a pub on the Otago Peninsula. Bob attended Portobello Primary School, a small country school, finished “dux” or top of class, and then attended the King Edward Technical High School at Stuart Street in Dunedin.1 I first met Bob in December 1971, when he autographed my copy of The Closed Ruy Lopez; however, I did not get to know him well until the early 1980s when he played in an Athenaeum team I captained.

As I had expected, it was a difficult task. When you’ve had a long career in chess, and played many thousands of games, there will be hundreds among them on which you can look back with satisfaction. Siegbert Tarrasch published his book Dreihundert Schachpartien in 1895, when he was 33 years old. In such a case, with so many games, the selection process is much ‘looser’. In 1998, Anatoly Karpov also published a selection of 300 games from a period of three decades. Thus, he, too, had more freedom to show all his special victories to the public. I myself published Timman’s Selected Games with Cadogan in 1995, which was brought out by New In Chess under the title Chess the Adventurous Way. It features 80 games from the period 1983-1994. Curiously, I have only included 10 games from that selection in this book. This illustrates the difficulties I experienced with my new selection.

  • Eesti Naiste Maleliikumine Ärkas Hilja Nagu Eelmises Malenurgas Lubatud Sai, Siis Teeme Seekord Juttu Eesti Naiste Malemeistriv
    Eesti naiste maleliikumine ärkas hilja Nagu eelmises malenurgas lubatud sai, siis teeme seekord juttu Eesti naiste malemeistrivõistluste ajaloost. Kui esimesed Eesti meeste meistrivõistlused leidsid aset juba aastavahetusel 1922/1923, siis naiste seas selgitati esmakordselt parim alles pärast II maailmasõda, 1945. aasta sügisel. Eesti naiste maleliikumise kohta enne II maailmasõda leiame andmeid üsna napilt. Heino Hindre koostatud raamatust “Male Eestis” (1965) saame lugeda: “1925. a on tähiseks meie naiste maleliikumise ajaloos.

Uusi teateid Eesti naiste maleliikumise kohta leiame eelpool nimetatud teosest “Male Eestis” (1965) seoses järgmiste ridadega: “Oli möödunud 11 aastat, kui jälle korraldati turniir naismaletajatele. See toimus 1936. a oktoobris. Korraldajaks oli TEMS (Tallinna Eesti Maleselts).
