Glossary of Terms  from Pawn Power In Chess by Hans Kmoch

ReviewKing’s Indian & Grünfeld: Fianchetto Lines by GM Lasha Janjgava.  Reviewed by our premier reviewer - Jens Madsen

Many Places: Further Adventures of Perry the PawnPusher, by Rick Kennedy:

"The queen's knight had a slight chip.
On closer inspection, it was clear the tip of the right ear was gone.
What's more, the wood at the top was unevenly stained.
The pattern continued counter-clockwise down the nag's mane.

What was most interesting was how it resembled the tornado that took Dorothy and Toto off to the Land of Oz...

It's truly amazing where your mind can wander while you're waiting for the other guy at the chess board to make his move. Given enough time, you can go many places."

     Go to Many Places, and read the full story behind that ragged knight!
 

King's Indian & Grünfeld Fianchetto Lines

by Lasha Janjgava

Reviewed by Jens I. Madsen

Let it be said to begin with: King’s Indian & Grünfeld : Fianchetto Lines is not a fun book, but rather a serious book aimed at serious chess players. With Fianchetto Lines, the third book penned by Georgian GM Lasha Janjgava for Gambit Publications (following The Queen’s Gambit & Catalan for Black and The Petroff ), we are offered a thorough theoretical review of two important opening systems.

Fianchetto Lines is rich on concrete analysis presented in an objective manner without any bias towards White or Black, and the well-organized material should serve the advanced player (rated 2000+) with an interest in these opening systems well. Weaker players are likely to find the scant use of verbose explanations cumbersome, so that the book could easily end up a permanent shelf-dweller.

As the title indicates, Fianchetto Lines is an ambitious project that covers fianchetto systems against two important Black mainstays - the King’s Indian and the Grünfeld...  Read the full review.
 

Reviews, Reviews, and More Reviews

In the preceding article you read the beginnings of Jens Madsen's latest review for Chessville.  But did you know that Chessville now has reviews of more than four dozen chess books, videos, and DVDs, with more being added nearly every week?

Our book review staff is composed of experienced and reflective amateurs who know what it is that you are looking for in a book review.  We can better assess a book’s value to the “normal” chess player because we are normal chess players.  While we may not be authorities on the latest 30-move variations of opening theory, we can tell you whether you stand to benefit from a book, and provide you with an overview of the contents, organization, and other components of the title under review.

From new releases by today's most prolific publishers (e.g. Gambit, Batsford, & Everyman) to classics like The Art of Attack in Chess, by Vladimir Vukovic, or Basic Chess Endings, by GM Reuben Fine, to videos like Accelerated Dragon Assault! by Andrew Martin, and DVDs like Pro Chess, The Video Chess Mentor by Yasser Seirawan, Chessville may have what you're looking for.

Maybe your tastes run to historical works, like The Turk: The Life and Times of the Famous Eighteenth-Century Chess-Playing Machine, by Tom Standage, or Impact of Genius: 500 Years of Grandmaster Chess, by R. E. Fauber.  Perhaps you prefer fiction, like Sinister Gambits, edited by Richard Peyton.

Are you looking for tactical training books?  303 Tricky Chess Tactics & 303 Tricky Checkmates, both by Fred Wilson and Bruce Albertson, or Can You Be A Tactical Chess Genius? ,by GM James Plaskett, might be what you're looking for.  Endgames?  How about Batsford Chess Endings, by GM Jon Speelmann, et al., Just the Facts: Winning Endgame Knowledge in One Volume, by GM Lev Alburt and GM Nikolay Krogius, or Fundamental Chess Endings, by GM Karsten Muller and IM Frank Lamprecht?

Openings?  What do you like to play?  The Caro-Kann 3.f3!? (e-Book) by IM Jan Pinski & NM Rafal Przedmojski, The Complete Sveshnikov Sicilian, by Yuri Yakovich, Ideas Behind the Modern Chess Openings by Gary Lane, or Starting Out: The King's Indian, by GM Joe Gallagher and others all await you.

Let's not leave out some of the all-time great game collections: Tal - Botvinnik 1960, by Mikhail Tal, or I Play Against Pieces by Svetozar Gligoric, might suit your tastes.  And some great instructional titles too, like The Art of Attack in Chess, by Vladimir Vukovic, C.J.S. Purdy’s Fine Art of Chess Annotation and Other Thoughts, by C.J.S. Purdy, or Learn from your Chess Mistakes, by IM Chris Baker might be what you need to jump to that next level.

Visit Chessville's Review Section, and see what we thought of that title you've been considering plunking down your hard-earned dollars for.
 

Editorial: Chess and Politics

The world of chess contains plenty of politics.  Just from the last couple of decades we have the first Karpov-Kasparov match and related shenanigans, the schism between Kasparov & FIDE, the PCA, the GMA, the ABCs (wait, was that kindergarten?), and more recently Yasser Seirawan's efforts to unify the World Chess Championship, the "interview" with young Ruslan Ponomariov, and so on.

I accept these things as an integral part of the chess world.

Recently though, I have become more aware of politics from the "outside" world creeping into the chess world.  At Pakistan Chess Player Lev Khariton's 200 Words for March 31st, 2003, urged chess sponsors and organizers to boycott Garry Kasparov's participation in chess events because of a non-chess article he wrote in the Wall Street Journal supporting a war against Saddam Hussein's regime.  Lev takes the position that any moneys paid to Kasparov "will be a token of support for crimes and murders, genocide and another Holocaust in human history."

Well, I have an opinion on this war too.  But should chess and politics mix?  Read my opinion about mixing chess and politics, then participate in our poll:  Chess and Politics:

Chess websites and magazines should...

               a) discuss politics & war, and take stands on issues.
               b) stick to chess.
 

The Mad Aussie's Chess Trivia
From Graham Clayton

Correspondence "Checks":  In some late 19th century correspondence chess tournaments, players had to pay an "earnest fee" as a guarantee to make sure that they would complete all of their games.  If a player completed his games, the "earnest fee" would be refunded.  If the player abandoned the tournament before completing their games, their "earnest fee" would be added to the prize pool.

Correspondence Ratings:  Here is the most recent ICCF ratings list from October 2002:

1.   Ulf Andersson (Swe) 2741
2.   Gert Timmermann (Ned) 2733
3.   Joop van Oosterom (Ned) 2724
4.   Olita Rause (Lat) 2717
5.   Harald Tarnowiecki (Aut) 2692
6.   Hans-Marcus Elwart (Ger) 2688
7.   Joachim Neuman (Ger) 2685
8.   Kenneth Frey (Mex) 2680
9.   Volker-Michael Anton (Ger) 2670
10. Gottardo Cottardi (Switz) 2664

Van Oosterom may be better known as the organizer of the Melody Amber tournament in Monte Carlo each year.  Rause is the CC equivalent of Judit Polgar!  There are a couple of well-known OTB players whose names don't appear on the list, as they haven't played the 30 games required to get a rating. They include Curt Hansen (Den) 2653 and Johnny Hector (Swe) 2616.

Correspondence Sadness:  Being a CC player, I was saddened to read the following quotes in a Chess Mail interview with Slovakian CC GM Dr Jozef Franzen, who finished second in the 12th ICCF WCCC (1984-91):

It is not very optimistic, but I think normal correspondence chess - I have liked it for 30 or 40 years but it is destroyed, and it is finished by computers ...

CC was very interesting for me if a player must understand something about the play and must work hard with the chessboard.  But at this time, too many people are playing with a computer.  Maybe 90% of the opponent's strength is computer".

Only calculation and no chess culture. For me it is difficult to play with them. Normally they are not [serious] opponents.  But now, for example, he has three computers and I am playing so (Frantzen points to his wallet chess set). For example, draw.  It is not very interesting for me.

Kelly's
Quotes

A wood-pusher overlooks the ranks. – Russian Proverb

There are many moves, but only one mate. – Soviet Proverb

An eye for the microscope betokens the master. – George Marco

Now I looked at the board in dismay. How was I going to win? Where could I force an entry? – Alexander Kotov

He was a pitiful sight to behold. Over and over he calculated and recalculated the variations, and couldn't understand how I could save my self. Of course he couldn’t - he was looking for something that wasn't there. – Anatoly Karpov (on Polugaevsky)

Let the opponent have the pawn center, and I will attack him. – Siegbert Tarrasch

The creative side of the game does not matter; the point is the King. – Paul Keres

Second only to chess, it is the best game I know. Variations are infinite; there is always something new to learn. But, as with chess too, participation is possible at quite different levels. – Michael Foot (on politics)
