Hints to Remember Who: CSIR-India, DRDO What: to join hands to develop Saras engine When: published on 19th January 2020 The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) will collaborate with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to produce an indigenous engine for the Saras light passenger aircraft being developed by it. “We will be taking up the project jointly. Designing and developing an aero- engine is a highly complex task,” Dr Shekhar C Mande, Director General, CSIR, said during his visit here. “Apart from the power plants, all major systems of the Saras are indigenous,” he added. The DRDO has been developing the Kaveri engine that was initially meant for the Light Combat Aircraft since the mid-80s, but has not been successful. While some technologies and components were validated, there were problems with some. While various types of aero-engines have been produced under licence in India, an indigenous engine has not been developed. According to some experts, developing a turboprop for a transport aircraft is less complex than developing a jet engine for a fighter. The prototype version of the Saras, being developed by the CSIR’s National Aeronautical Laboratory (NAL), is powered by two Canadian Pratt and Whitney PT6A turboprop engines, that are not only mounted on the rear of the fuselage instead of the wings, but also face rearwards. “The 14-passenger Saras plane, which is undergoing flight trials, will also have the capability to taxi in reverse, a feature that is not very common in aircraft. In the IAF’s inventory, the American C-17 strategic freighter and the German Dornier Do-228 have this feature. Taxiiing in reverse require the jet blast from the engines to be directed forwards but it has technical, environmental and safety concerns when operating in the vicinity of aerodrome terminals or structures. The NAL would be conducting 20 test flights of the Saras before the design is frozen and production would be undertaken by state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. The IAF has committed to procure 15 aircraft. Dr Mande, who is a member of Gaganyaan National Advisory Council, the steering body for ISRO’s manned space mission, said the NAL was also deeply involved in testing and devaluating many of the launch vehicle’s components.

Hints to Remember Who: New species of bone-eating worm What: discovered eating alligator carcass When: published on 17th January 2020 A new species of bone-eating worm has been discovered by scientists during a study in which they dropped alligator carcasses into the Gulf of Mexico to investigate the deep ocean's ecosystem. The worm, which has yet to be named, is the first of its kind found in the Gulf of Mexico. The species was discovered when it crawled on the corpse of an alligator on the ocean floor -- and completely consumed its soft tissue within 51 days.

Hints to Remember Who: RBI What: allows card holders to enable, disable cards for online use, modify transaction limits When: published on 15th January 2020 To increase security of card (credit and debit) transactions the Reserve Bank of India has directed all banks to give card users the facility to themselves enable/disable their cards for different types of use--online, physical, contact- less domestically or internationally. Card issuers have also been asked to allow card holders to modify transaction limits within the overall card limit for all types of transactions -domestic and international at PoS, ATMs, online transactions and contactless transactions. RBI has directed banks and other card issuers to enable cards only for use at contact based points i.e. ATMs and Point of Sale (Pos) devices within India at the time of issue of the cards. This means that when a card is issued it will, by default, only be usable to physically swipe at a PoS or at a ATM. It would not be enabled for use online or for contact-less transactions.

Hints to Remember Who: Robert Abela What: wins election to be prime minister of Malta and calls for unity after Joseph Muscat's resignation over journalist's murder When: published on 12th January 2020 Robert Abela is set to become Malta’s prime minister after being elected leader of the ruling party, and is seen as a continuity leader in the wake of a scandal over the murder of an investigative journalist. Mr Abela, a 42-year-old lawyer, faces a turbulent political environment after the forced exit of Joseph Muscat in the wake of the controversy. Mr Muscat announced his resignation last month, surrendering to political pressure and widespread public anger over his alleged attempt to protect his allies from a probe into the 2017 killing of Daphne Caruana Galizia.

Hints to Remember Who: Magnus Carlsen What: breaks record for longest unbeaten streak When: published on 19th January 2020 Chess great Magnus Carlsen made history Tuesday as he extended his unbeaten run to 111 successive classical games, breaking the 110-game streak set by Sergei Tiviakov in 2005. Carlsen, the world's No.1 chess player and, such was his prodigious talent, described as the 'Mozart of chess' as a 14-year-old, drew against Jorden van Foreest in the fourth round of the Wijk aan Zee tournament in the Netherlands to break the record. The 29-year-old Norwegian grandmaster achieved his feat while playing against opponents who had a far higher average Fide rating -- the rankings that govern international chess competition -- than Tiviakov's rivals. He had suggested that he might consider the record broken only if he won another two matches as two wins, in the Norwegian League, were against opponents ranked more than 500 points lower than him.

Hints to Remember Who: India What: finished 2019 as number one shooting nation in world When: published on 12th January 2020 On the back of its sparkling show through 2019, India finished the year as the top shooting nation in the world, leapfrogging Olympic heavyweights China and the USA. In terms of overall medals, the tally stood at 21 gold, six silver and three bronze as India topped all the Rifle-Pistol World Cups and Finals in a unforgettable year. A delighted National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) president Raninder Singh tweeted a screenshot of the International Shooting Sport Federation’s (ISSF) overall rankings for 2019.

His draw was with Eugenio Alonso Campos, who gave up another draw to tail-ender Constantin Rotariu in finishing second. Ashley Tapp was third and achieved her best performance rating to date. Crosstable 16th Unive Chess Festival (October 19-27) Held in Hoogeveen (the Netherlands), the festival consisted of a Crown Group, an Open, and a couple of amateur events.

Nakamura has had a rocky time in his last few events but took first here with 4.5/6, ahead of Sergei Tiviakov, Anish Giri, and Women’s World Champion Yifan Hou. The other main event was the Open, a nine-round tournament which attracted seventy- eight players, including BC’s Leon Piasetski.

PREFACE A critical-minded author always questions his own writing and tries to predict whether it will be illuminating and useful for the readers. What makes this book special? First of all, I have always had an inquisitive mind and an insatiable desire for accumulating, generating and sharing knowledge. Th is work is a prod- uct of having carefully read a few hundred remarkable chess books and a few thousand worthy non-chess volumes. However, it is by no means a mere compilation of ideas, facts and recommendations. Most of the eye- opening tips in this manuscript come from my refl ections on discussions with some of the world’s best chess players and coaches.

He has achieved the second highest ever rating exceeded only by Garry Kasparov.[1][2] On 26 April 2004 Carlsen became a Grandmaster at the age of 13 years, 148 days, making him the third-youngest Grandmaster in history. On 1 January 2010 the new FIDE rating list was published, and at the age of 19 years, 32 days he became the youngest chess player in history to be ranked world number one, breaking the record previously held by Vladimir Kramnik.[3] Carlsen is also the 2009 World blitz chess champion. His performance at the September–October 2009 Nanjing Pearl Spring tournament has been described as one of the greatest in history[4] and lifted him to an Elo rating of 2801, making him the fifth player to achieve a rating over 2800 – and aged 18 years 10 months at the time, by far the youngest to do so. Based on his rating, Carlsen has qualified for the Candidates Tournament which will determine the challenger to face World Champion Viswanathan Anand in the World Chess Championship 2012.

BRITISH COLUMBIA lHJRF~RY Prince G"'orgo, ec Chess Software And Its Impact On Chess Players Khaldoon Dhou B.S., Jordon University of Science and Technology, 2004 Project Submitted In Partial Fulfillment Of The Requirements For The Degree Of Master Of Science m Mathematical, Computer, and Physical Sciences (Computer Science) The Uni versity of Northern British Columbia July 2008 © Khaldoon Dhou, 2008 ABSTRACT Computer-aided chess is an important teaching method, as it allows a student to play under every condition possible, and regulates the speed of his/her development at an incremental pace, measured against actual players in the rated chess community. It is also relatively inexpensive, and pervasive, and allows players to match themselves against competitors from across the world. The learning process extends beyond games, as interactive software has shown; it teaches several skills, such as opening, strategy, tactics, and chess-problem solving. Furthermore, current applications allow chess players to establish rankings via online chess tournaments, meet international grandmasters, and have access to training tools based on strategies from chess masters. Using 250 chess software packages, this research classifies them into distinct categories based mainly on the Gobet and Jansen's organization of the chess knowledge [4]. This is followed by extensive discussion that analyzes these training tools, in order to identify the best training techniques available building on a research on human computer interaction, cognjtive psychology, and chess theory. 11 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ii LIST OF FIGURES iv LIST OF TABLES v ACKNOWLEDGEMENT vi Chapter 1 -Introduction ...............................................................................
