He agreed to do so when urged by Viktor Chepizhnoi, the chess director of the “Physical Culture and Sport” publishing house. Chepizhnoi’s arguments were convincing, but the Champion already understood perfectly well that the moment had come: he had already collected and classified practically all the games he had ever played (they came to around two thousand). For roughly a quarter of them, annotations had been written, albeit in a compressed (“Informator”-style) arrangement. For this book Petrosian wanted to annotate roughly 30-40 more games; together with those published earlier, these would constitute the nucleus of the work.

  • The Classified Encyclopedia of Chess Variants
    THE CLASSIFIED ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CHESS VARIANTS I once read a story about the discovery of a strange tribe somewhere in the Amazon basin. An eminent anthropologist recalls that there was some evidence that a space ship from Mars had landed in the area a millenium or two earlier. ‘Good heavens,’ exclaims the narrator, are you suggesting that this tribe are the descendants of Martians?’ ‘Certainly not,’ snaps the learned man, ‘they are the original Earth-people — it is we who are the Martians.’ Reflect that chess is but an imperfect variant of a game that was itself a variant of a germinal game whose origins lie somewhere in the darkness of time.

I really miss the classical games. As a consequence, I have also included rapid games in my Survey, which normally I don’t do. So I was glad to see that Ivan Sokolov had decided to base his Survey on a classical game between two promising youngsters from the period just before the lockdown. It reminded me of the Karpov-Kasparov matches. This also goes for Krishnan Sasikiran’s contribution to Erwin l’Ami’s correspondence column. Just one small correction on his analysis: the move 9...e3 is generally attributed to Igor Zaitsev. However, as I have pointed out in my book The Longest Game, it was first mentioned by John Watson, back in 1979. We welcome Yu Yangyi as a contributor. He has been a top player for years, but we hardly ever saw any of his commentaries. His views are obviously very interesting. Another welcome to Zaur Tekeyev from Russia. He tackles an interesting option in the main line of the Caro-Kann. Of course there were some rapid games from the last months that were worthwhile. The best example is Magnus Carlsen’s victory over Anish Giri in the Semi-Tarrasch.

  • Chapter 14, New Pieces
    Chapter 14 New pieces (1) : Combination pieces [The most usual way of ‘developing’ chess is to introduce one or more new pieces, possibly with an alteration in the board size. The result has been a vast amount of duplication and reinvention, and even when a piece embodies some new point of detail the amount it adds to the game is all too often negligible. It is therefore not claimed that every eccentricity or minor variation which inventors have dreamed up will be found in this book. The present chapter covers pieces which can move like either of two ordinary men, for example as a knight as well as a rook or bishop. Other new pieces appear in the next two chapters. In particular, pieces making two knight moves in succession appear in the next chapter, and pieces making an unlimited sequence of knight moves, or a king move followed by a rook or bishop move, appear in Chapter 16. As before, only the baselines of game arrays are normally given, and a full second row of pawns on each side is always to be assumed unless something else is explicitly stated. Only games apparently derived from modern orthochess are given in these three chapters; games from other traditions appear in the chapters on historical and regional games.] 14.1 Pieces with added knight movement [One or two games in this section also involve new men of other kinds, but these appear to play only a minor role and the games appear best classified here.] Amazon Chess (originator unknown, 16th by later variant inventors.
