As you can easily imagine and despite the infinitely belter user operation soon to result- during October and part of November we are faced with the many problems and the unavoidable upheaval inherent in a move which requires pocking and shipping all user records and inventory; physically equipping and getting settled into our new office; and hiring and training a staff at that new location. During this difficult period, we must ask that you cooperate in the following manner. 1. DO NOT WRITE to us from October 13 to 31. 1967, unless absolutely necessary- and then use our old address. We will be moving during that period, but mail will be forwarded to our new address a nd processed there as soon as possible. 2. AFTER NOVEMBER 1, 1967, communicate with us at these addresses: To our new business office location, To our editor's address, you should you should send: send: • All memberships and affiliations. • All editorial material. including "Tournament Life" announcements and items for "Chess Life • All rating reports.

  • Discovered Attacks #Chessathome
    Lesson 17: Discovered Attacks Discovered Check If the White knight on e5 magically vanished, Black would be in check from the White queen on e2. Let’s try to find a good move for that knight, knowing that on their next move Black will have to escape the queen check. Suppose White moves the knight to g6. Here it’s attacked by two pawns. However, Black cannot capture the knight. They must block the queen check first. White is then able to use the knight to capture the Black rook on h8. Even better, suppose White moves the knight to c6. Again, Black must block the queen check. The White knight can then capture the Black queen. When a piece moves to uncover a check from a second piece, it’s called a DISCOVERED CHECK. Puzzle Corner How can White use a discovered check to win material? #ChessatHome www.chessinschools.co.uk Discovered Attack This time White wishes his bishop on d3 would disappear. They would then be able to use their queen to capture the undefended Black queen on d4. White moves the White bishop to b5 (check), uncovering the attack on the Black queen. Black would love to move or defend their queen but before doing so must escape the bishop check. This gives White the move they need to capture the Black queen. When a player moves a piece to uncover an attack from a second piece, it’s called a DISCOVERED ATTACK. Double Attacks Grandmaster Test You now know all the dou- This puzzle has ble attacks in chess.

  • The Evolution of Elite Grandmasters from the Beginning of Their Career up the Top
    International Chess School - Applying Chess Essentials www.chessmasterschool.com The evolution of elite grandmasters from the beginning of their career up the top Sergey Alexandrovich Karjakin Sergey Karjakin, born January 12, 1990 in Simferopol, is a Russian (formerly Ukrainian) chess grandmaster. He was a chess prodigy and holds the record for both the youngest International Master, eleven years and eleven months, and grandmaster in history, at the age of twelve years and seven months. In September 2011 he had an Elo rating of 2772, making him Russia's second best chess player, and the fifth in the world. Karjakin learned to play chess when he was five years old. In 2001, he won the World Chess U12 championship. At age fourteen he defeated the reigning world champion, Vladimir Kramnik, in a blitz game. On the January 2008 FIDE rating list, published just before Karjakin's eighteenth birthday, he passed the 2700 mark for the first time, the line that separates "elite" players from other grandmasters, with a new rating of 2732 and a world rank of 13. Game 1 Sergey Karjakin at 8 years old playing against a Grandmaster Karjakin, Sergei - Miezis, Normunds (2505) [A60] Keres Memorial op Tallinn (1), 14.06.1998 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e6 4.Nc3 exd5 5.cxd5 Bd6 The experienced grandmaster chooses a rare line of Benoni Defense in order to avoid any theoretical dispute with the eight-year old Karjakin. The main line is 5...d6 6.e4 g6 leading to typical positions of the Benoni. 6.e4 White goes for the obvious move and occupies the center at once.
