Die Bundes- leitung hat daher sowohl die deutschen Vereinsmeisterschaften, deren End- kampf fiir 29.—31. Juli in Bad Oeynhausen geplant war, als auch die GroB- deutschen Meisterschaften, die vom 13.—26. August in Wien stattfinden sollten, abgesagt. Nur im Aufgabenwettbewerb, zu dem die Einsendungen bereits vorlagen, wird eine Entscheidung diesmal fallen. Der verstarkte Kriegseinsatz verlangt eine veranderte Ausrichtung im GroB- deutschen Schachbunde. Die groBen und weitraumigen Veranstaltungen, fiir die Urlaub und Reisen erforderlich waren, kommen in Wegfall. Die Tatigkeit in den Vereinen gewinnt an Bedeutung und soil stark gefordert werden. Von dort aus ist auch die schachliche Betreuung der Wehrmacht und der HJ mit besonderem Nachdruck weiter zu betreiben. In den Fernturnieren tritt zur Entlastung der Post eine Spielpause von unbestimmter Dauer ein. Der Schachbetrieb geht sonst iiberall weiter, wo kein besonderer Apparat dafiir erforderlich ist und niemand seinen Aufgaben entzogen wird. Gerade jetzt kann der Wert und die Bedeutung des Schachs fiir d3n schaffenden und kampfenden Menschen sich erweisen.

    Second thoughts on asymmetry JDB, 6 July 2013 Those who took British Endgame Study News will know that I was not an enthusiast for the “asymmetry” theme (where the position is symmetrical about a file, but the different distances of the board edges from the centre line cause White to go one way rather than the other). In special number 1, I described it as tending to be a recipe for dullness, and I promptly received a strongly contradictory opinion from Walter Veitch (see March 1997, page 33). I was therefore interested to receive a copy of a recent book ASymmetrie, by Michael Schlosser and Martin Minski, which is devoted to this theme and includes no fewer than 67 endgame studies among its nearly 650 examples. The text is in German, which I don’t read, but fortunately the studies speak for themselves. This book has caused me to have second thoughts. There are indeed some dull works, where White chooses the natural and obvious option (to take the wide side so as to outflank Black, or to crowd him against the edge on the narrow side) and the study seems to have little else to offer, but there are others where White’s choice of side is unexpected or paradoxical, or where the study has something to offer over and above the mere choice of side. wdwdwdkd wdwdwdwd wdwdwdwd dwdwdwdw dwdwdwdw dwdwdwdw wdwdwdKd wdwdBdwd wdwdBdwd dwdwdw)w dwdwIwdw dwdKdwdw wdwdwdwd w0wdwdw0 w0wdwdw0 dwdwdwdw dwdwiwdw dwiwdwdw wdwdwdwd wdwdwdwd wdwdwdwd dwdwdwdw dwdwdwdw dwdwdwdw 1 - White to play and win 2 - White to play and hold the draw 2a - after 3 Ke4 Take 1, which the authors attribute to “Walker, 1841” but which Harold van der Heijden’s “Endgame study database IV” gives as having appeared in Lolli’s book of 1763.

  • Exploring the Watershed Between More-Mover and Study

    Exploring the Watershed Between More-Mover and Study

    No. 171 – Vol. XIV – January 2008 Supplement EXPLORING THE WATERSHED BETWEEN MORE-MOVER AND STUDY BY WIELAND BRUCH EXPLORING THE WATERSHED BETWEEN MORE-MOVER AND STUDY WIELAND BRUCH How infinite is the empire of forms; how much remains to be exploited for centuries to come! Robert Schumann, 1854 There are many different ways of looking at the relationship between the study and the chess problem. Specialists hold that studies and problems – including more-movers, the sub-genre lying closest to the study – are fundamentally distinct, that they are practically incompatible, or at best serenely tolerate one another. My view, at least as regards study and more-mover, the pair we shall devote our attention to, is that there is a closer connection than appears at first sight. To me the plain fact is significant that throughout chess composition’s history we find top-class composers who have come to terms with both sub-genres without favouring one over the other. We need name only such outstanding masters of the past and present as J. Kling, J. Berger, L.I. Kubbel, V. Bron, E. Zepler, A. Chéron, V. Pachman, I. Krikheli and J. Rusinek. The reader is invited to take part in a modest preliminary ‘self-test’. The three diagrams A, B and C show either a WTM study to win, or a more-mover. The examples have been deliberately selected to be simple, calling for no electronic adjunct. Please take the plunge after a first glance at the diagram. You can change your mind afterwards, when you have looked at the composers’ own categories.
