Chess Camp
Another Kennedy Kids Story
from the creative mind of Rick Kennedy

Chess camp!  Fresh air, friends, and chess, chess, chess.  Fast chess.  Slow chess.  One-on-one.  Teams.

Nothing could ruin a week with the nicest players and the best chess teachers in the whole wide world.  Except, maybe, having to take your brother along.  It certainly wasn't my idea.

"I plan to learn the Ruy Lopez," I told Jon.  "Run along now, go play some bughouse, and stay out from under foot."

"I'm playing against the visiting master in her exhibition this afternoon," he countered.  "You can come by and watch me, if you want."  Sometimes he thinks he is so smart.

The week flew by.  Then, somebody thought up the dumb idea of a "mixed doubles" chess game, for the parents to watch.  Each team had a boy and a girl on it, and they had to take turns making the moves for their side.

Guess who I got stuck with?

The Wit and Wisdom of Nigel Davies

We culled these pearls from the TigerChess email discussion list.  Here are just a few quotes to whet your appetite:

I have a preference for working with well written old books plus databases rather than new books, mainly because the new books are out of date anyway and they also don't explain things.

There never was a Soviet school of chess and the success of Soviet players had nothing to do with its coaching methods. It was not the 'Botvinnink school', Dvoretsky, Dorfman or any other chess guru. This is all a big con, perpetrated by people who wanted to secure their place within the 'system' by being pillars of its so-called 'school'. And lest we forget, Bobby Fischer exposed it.

As for the principles of how to improve your game, they can be stated very simply:
     a) Immerse yourself in chess culture
     b) Analyze your own games, avoiding self deception
     c) Play in the best tournaments you can get
And that's it.

The Mad Aussie's Chess Trivia
From Graham Clayton

Who Am I #1?  I was the best player in my country for a 15 year period after WW1, winning my national championship 6 times during this period. My best tournament performance was a first place ahead of 13 other players, including Spielmann, Grunfeld and Tartakower. My tournament results were affected by the ill-health that dogged me throughout my career. I was famous for my brilliant combinations. I have had an opening system named after me. Who am I?

Who Am I #2?  I was a comparatively late starter in international chess, not having any success till my early 20's.  I played in 40 tournaments over a 30 year period, winning or sharing 18 first and 10 second prizes.  I also finished first in 3 successive national championships.  I was also one of the top 10 players in the world for nearly a decade, and competed in 3 candidates matches.  I am also well known as an author, and have received praise for the care and time that I spend researching and writing the books that are published under my name.  I am also a openings theorist, and introduced into tournament play a very double-edged opening variation that now bears my name.

The
Wit & Wisdom of Nigel Davies

One very important aspect of actually achieving something is, I believe, the ability to avoid making excuses, in all their guises. I have heard almost every excuse under the sun why people have lost a game, protecting the ego but inhibiting the learning process. Similarly people will claim that either they or their peers would have
achieved such and such if only they'd done such and such or not had such and such a thing holding them back. Blah, blah, blah...

The vast majority of players will have some degree of laziness in their thoughts both during and in between games; they talk about chess a lot, skim through lots of books but don't actually sit down, get a board and pieces out and analyze chess positions.

If you write about openings you don't play you can tell the whole truth... On the other hand it's boring and maybe even a little stupid to write about the openings you do play.

I know very few professional players with very fixed views; in some games they take pawn centres and in others demolish the same centres. The tendency is to become 'universal' and not have particular prejudices about things.

'Understanding' comes on many different levels. The people who manage to 'digest' are the ones who will sit for hours in front of a chess set, tinkering with ideas, or those who play THOUSANDS of games with particular ideas. Not those who just read and nod...

Dedication is the key factor that means you really go to town on the material. And there's no great mystery about this, it's the way people achieve excellence in any sphere. But people always want an easy short cut.
