"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."
- Sir Winston Churchill

from the editor... This past year has been full of both difficulty and opportunity for Chessville.  Yes, I said "this past year".  Today's issue of The Chessville Weekly is the 52nd that we've brought to you.  Next week is Chessville's 1st Anniversary!  We have a special lineup of updates planned for you both at Chessville and here in the Weekly, as our gift to you for your support during the past twelve months.  Thanks for making it the best of all possible years!

New At Chessville

The New York Masters Game of the Week, with analysis by IM Greg Shahade.  This week's exciting game:

(3) Yudasin,L (2666) - Wojtkiewicz,A (2617) [B50]
57th New York Masters New York (3), 20.05.2003

A HUGE 3rd round matchup here, as Yudasin has the white pieces, but is a half point back on Wojtkiewicz. Thus Yudasin will do whatever it takes to chalk up the win.

Problem of the Week: Tactical training with our weekly puzzle.

Site Review: Chess Mail, Edited by Tim Harding.  Chess Mail is, first and foremost, a magazine devoted to Correspondence Chess (CC), and this web site serves as their on-line presence.  There is much more here than meets the eye however, so check out the review for more, much more, information.

Strange Chess News: Straphanger Memory Altering Reported, by Elliotte Wisanski.  (The editor Bradley Zang would like you to know that some of these stories are so unbelievable even he doesn't believe them.)

Essay: Chess Is Cool! by Glenn McNatt.  "The games we play reveal our essence..."

Famous People Who Play Chess:  We thought it would be interesting to see who a few of our fellow chessplayers are.  Chess really is cool!
 

Chess Is Cool!
by Glenn McNatt

The games we play reveal our essence, and we place in those games the expectation that something larger, more mysterious, more transforming might arise in our ordinary lives. – Ken Burns

Chess is a game for people of all ages. You can learn to play at any age and in chess, unlike in many other sports, you don't ever have to retire. Age is also not a factor when you're looking for an opponent - young can play old and old can play young.   Chess develops memory. The chess theory...

Read the complete essay and then find out what Woody Allen, Yasser Arafat, Seve Ballesteros, David Bowie, Marlon Brando, Enrico Caruso, Bill Cosby, Evander Holyfield, Bob Hope, Pope John Paul II, David Letterman, Willie Nelson, Ringo Starr, Barabra Streisand, and Bill Walsh all have in common!
 

Chess Mail
Edited by Tim Harding
http://www.chessmail.com/

Chess Mail is, first and foremost, a magazine devoted to Correspondence Chess (CC), and this web site serves as their on-line presence.  A sample issue of the magazine is offered for download in pdf format (all 64 pages!) and this alone is worth the price of admission, including an article on computer chess engines, tournament reports, a three and one-half page theoretical article of Bishops and Wrong Rook Pawn endings, and a wealth of high-quality annotated games.  CC players are justly noted for the depth of their opening research, and these games provide fertile grounds for the inquisitive reader.

Chess Mail's Editor, author and Senior International Master of Correspondence Chess Tim Harding, is also well known for his Chess Cafe column, The Kibitzer, and a page on this site provides background information about the column and links to the current and archived issues.  There are also some free downloadable game collections in pgn format to accompany some of Tim's columns as well.  Tim's personal home page, also hosted here, contains biographical information and a complete bibliography of the more than 30 books and CDs, mostly opening research, that Tim has authored or co-authored over the years.

Chess Mail also hosts a considerable collection of reviews by John Elburg, a CC News page, tournament reports complete with unannotated games, and a page pushing a book written by Tim's father about his experiences during World War 2, Copper Wire.

Chess Mail publishes some unique products about which the reader can find more information, including a Mega-CC Database CD, and the excellent book "64 Great Chess Games", by Tim Harding, containing 64 carefully selected and painstakingly annotated CC games.  Chess Mail sponsors a number of teams in the ICCF's Champion's League, and there is plenty of information about the players and their games here too.

Navigation on the Chess Mail site is accomplished via a drop-down list of major sections at the top of each page, along with special links along the left page margin which vary from page to page.  Plenty of hyperlinks exist in each page's content, as well.  In fact, I'm convinced there's more stuff hidden at this site than I've uncovered, and that makes one wish for a more comprehensive navigation tool there.

Still, Chess Mail has a lot to offer the curious reader.  While already well known among CC-players, it deserves to be more so among the general chess playing public.  Visit Chess Mail today, rummage around and see what chessic-gold you uncover there!
 

Straphanger Memory Altering Reported
by Elliotte Wisanski

A soon to be President, Martin Van Buren once forewarned , "'Railroad carriages are pulled at the enormous speed of 15 miles per hour by 'engines' which, in addition to endangering life and limb of passengers, roar and snort their way through the countryside, setting fire to crops, scaring the livestock and frightening women and children. The Almighty certainly never intended that people should travel at such breakneck speed."

Also, it been proposed by the Carneades School of Mnemonics that an encryption code or natural password guards the memory in our minds (an encephalitic key if you may}. If found, someone or something could alter our memories, dreams, aspirations and our very personalities. There are many ancient schools of Memory or Mnemonics. Most schools accept that memory is an abstract process but the Carneades are true skeptics and believe memory is a tangible structure.

To help us understand this Strange Chess News we managed to get an interview with an expert at Carneades Mnemonics, who wishes to remain anonymous. We Shall call him M.

Read the complete interview with "M".  Note: The editor Bradley Zang would like you to know that some of these stories are so unbelievable even he doesn't believe them.
 

The Mad Aussie's Chess Trivia
From Graham Clayton

British GM Incentive:  In 1971, British chess enthusiast Jim Slater offered a 5,000 pound prize for the first British player who would obtain a GM title. The money was won by Tony Miles, who became a GM in February 1976.

British Woman's World Champion:  Hungarian GM Geza Maroczy was the resident chess coach at the Hastings Chess Club in England in the immediate post World War 1 period. One of his pupils was Vera Menchik, who would go on to be the Woman's World Chess Champion between the late 1920's and up to the beginning of World War 2.

Excerpts of the Press release from Einstein TV
Statement on World Classical Chess Championship 26th May 2003

"We have been unable to secure full sponsorship to cover all the prize fund for the World Classical Chess Championship. A significant number of potential title sponsors have expressed considerable interest, but despite positive negotiations, the amounts to be raised in the time scale have proved impossible.

Our team had discussed this match with various locations, most recently with the Government of Hungary...Such sponsorship as was committed was not sufficient to cover the agreed prize fund.

While this is obviously very disappointing, we remain determined to deliver high quality world championship chess events and are now in discussion with a group of parties who are all interested in participating in a significant new chess development that would lead to the playing of the World Classical Chess Championship match later this year as well as other new events and matches in our cycle...  We remain committed to the future of World Classical Championship Chess and look forward to helping establish a more secure base for everyone involved.  - Robin Hague, Intellectual Leisure Ltd"
