A review of the Chess Express Rating service through the
eyes of someone who actually uses it, by Pete Blanchette

Hello everybody, I'm President of a small chess club in Gastonia, North Carolina (USA).  We joined Chess Express Ratings, Inc. (CXR) because I thought they could breathe some life into our club.  Man, they did the whole CPR thing for us!

There we were, just about flat-lining, when all of a sudden... BZZZZZZZZZT!  Excitement was zapped right back into us.  By now you're probably thinking, "This guy has had one too many brain scans."  Well check this out...

We had been together as a club only a few months and already some of the guys were bored and frustrated.  They asked, "How long does it take to get a rating around here?" and "When is this rating ever gonna change?" or, "Hey man, if I'm gonna study and read all this stuff, I wanna see some results pretty quick, or why bother?"  With CXR now I can report our game results right on their website, and get updated results in just 24 hours.  Enthusiasm, and more importantly attendance, has increased.  Now the guys are back to being excited about chess.

One area of excitement is their "Hot List".  Each month they show who is gaining the most rating points that month, and the guys try really hard for bragging rights.  We often see our names on the list, right along with the Masters and GMs.  We get ratings (yes, that is plural) updated and categorized in just 24 hours.  Statistics like you see in other sports too.

Our players can log in at CXR any time, day or night, and see their latest ratings: ratings with the White pieces, Ratings with the Black pieces, uphill ratings (games against higher rated opponents), downhill ratings (you guessed it, games against lower rated opponents), fast time control ratings (games in 7-14 minutes), quick time ratings (15-39 minutes), and longer time controls of 40 minutes or longer.  They even have a rating for playing without a clock...

Think about it, what a great learning tool!  Now you can see your strengths and weaknesses.  That also makes it a great weapon; knowing about your opponent before the battle starts.  Even our die-hard USCF rated tournament players like to play CXR games to hone their skills and not hurt their precious USCF rating.

A Parent's Guide to Chess
by Dan Heisman

Hi!  Just wanted to let everyone know that publisher Hanon Russell of Chess Cafe is offering a full 50% discount (off the list price of $14.95) for purchases of 10 or more copies of "A Parent's Guide to Chess".  That means you can purchase the book for about $7.50 and pass it along to parents in your club, school/organization at that price or possibly at a price somewhere in-between as a fundraiser.

If you are interested in this work, which is designed to help parents of kids new to the chess world help find their way around and lead to more satisfying chess experiences for both player and parent, contact Hanon at www.chesscafe.com (direct e-mail is info@chesscafe.com.)  Their web blurb reads:

"A Parent's Guide to Chess by Dan Heisman. 155pp.

"Chess offers many benefits to players of all ages.  This book is intended as a guide to help parents explore this expanding world and to maximize its benefits for their children.  Putting all this information in one place will, we hope, make your journey a lot easier."   --From the Introduction

We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting orders for A Parent’s Guide to Chess by ChessCafe.com columnist Dan Heisman.  This book in fact is a ground-breaker.  It is the first book of its kind, a book to help parents understand and help their children enjoy the pleasures of chess.

It is a 155-page roadmap for parent’s to their child's fascinating new hobby - chess.  The good news from teachers and other parents: kids who play chess not only have a lot of fun, but they do better in school, learn self-reliance and develop lifelong analytical skills .

The questions will come fast and often sound like another language:

-What do you think of the Petroff Defense, Dad? -What do I do with an isolated pawn, Mom? -Where can I find other kids to play chess with? -I'm ready for a chess coach--where can I find one? -How can I play in a tournament to get an official rating?

Here are the basics to help any parent guide their child to get the most out of an occasionally confusing, but extremely rewarding opportunity.  Parents can teach their children important skills while strengthening their relationship and sharing an activity that can serve as a life-long bond.

Regular price: $14.95
50% discount for purchases of 10 or more copies

Regards, Dan Heisman


The Study of the Opening, Part One
by Diego Acosta & Tony Hahn

"So what do I want to play as white?  How do I handle the 1.e4?  These and similar questions every chess player must answer one day (well, maybe more often…) in his/her life.  How then should you approach studying chess openings?  We have some ideas that we hope will simplify or at least make this process more bearable.  These are some pointers for your study that we would like you to consider:

"1)  Be practical:  Pick something that is solid and sound.  Avoid suspicious openings that with best play leave you either with material, space deficit or worse: both!  A good way to discover whether an opening is good for you or not, is by going over a collection of master games sorted by opening, getting a feel for the positions and seeing if those positions appeal your taste.  If you like and understand the positions that arise then that might be the opening for you!  After selecting an opening you are ready to take the next step in your journey..."

"2)  The basics:  Almost any beginners’ chess manual discusses the principles of good openings play.  Before tackling the matter of basics we would like you to read the following from “Lasker’s Manual of Chess” by Emanuel Lasker:

“In abstract terms the problem may be stated as follows: how and according to what rules must pieces from the initial position, where they stand ineffective and obstructive, be marched into efficient battle array?”

Such a deep philosopher was Lasker!  It would be senseless to even try to build a repertoire without considering the aforementioned question that in the lamest terms might be posed as: Where do I put my pieces so that they all participate in the game actively?  Without trying to build a new theory different from what’s available in manuals we could say that the basics include development, central control or occupation, and king safety.

The space for an article is rather limited and we would like to encourage you to review..."

The Mad Aussie's Chess Trivia

Distaining the Draw:  Of the 45 games played in the 1867 Dundee international tournament, only 3 were drawn.

Embracing the Draw:  Of the 120 games that were played in the 45th USSR championship tournament at Leningrad in 1977, 80 were draws (67%).  This is the highest percentage of drawn games in any of the 58 USSR championship tournaments.

The Telegraph Chess Club
     Nigel Short: Kasparov-X3D Fritz, New York Match Game 3.  "A nightmare game for the programmers as it shows that despite the gigantic strides computers have made, in some areas they remain just dumb machines."  From the New York Daily News: "Meanwhile, Fritz was reduced to shuffling pieces back and forth. At one point, it moved its bishop one square and then back again on the next move. No human would ever do that. Not just because it is a waste of two moves. It is simply too humiliating. It is an open declaration to your opponent that you have no idea what you're doing and that maybe checkers is your game."
