The Way of the Notebook
by Kevin Fonseca

“When you have attained the Way of Strategy there will not be one thing you cannot understand...You will see the Way in everything.”
- Miyamoto Musashi

I take this to mean that once you have mastered a thing, you have taught yourself how to master all things.  You have taught yourself the ability of mastery.  I mastered the craft/art of firing a pistol through constant, daily practice.  This practice entailed a review process that became second nature.  This review process is a subject of this article.  I have a strong background in science, not a degree, but a strong background.  This influences my use of notebooks.  In the laboratory the notebook is used to define, review and revise the task at hand.  It states a purpose and can project a result.  The review will show whether the progress is satisfactory.

Now to the meat and potatoes of the matter:  I would submit that a notebook, a record of your training is essential to true improvement.  You will be able to review your mistakes and improvements with equal consideration.  The medium of the computer allows a substantial accumulation of hard data.  How do we convert this data into a useful form?  How do we collate this data into a defined and focused study plan?  These are the two questions I will attempt to answer.  It is the ‘process’ I discuss.

First is to state a goal.  Ok, ok, your goal is to become better at chess.  Easy, yes?  Now to the plan...  Read The Way of the Notebook in full.
 

Squares

Squares is the newest entrant into the world of chess magazines, the good old-fashioned kind, that uses paper & ink.  Published by Thinker's Press, it is scheduled for four issues a year.  The Premier issue, Spring 2003, is 8½x11 inches, 64 pages printed on glossy paper, with three columns per page.

Bob Long, Publisher, writes that Squares is intended for "the whole world of hobbyists, sellers, intellectual pursuers, educators, professionals, trades' people, and so on."  An ambitious undertaking, and the jury is still out on how well it will succeed.  Contents of the current issue include:

  • Louis Paulsen - Early Father of HYPERMODERN Chess? by Imre König;

  • How to Write a Chess Encyclopedia, by Ken Whyld;

  • Playing a Good Game without the Politics, by GM Jonathan Rowson;

  • The König Memorial in San Francisco, by GM Alex Yermolinksy and Others;

  • Hammond & Tykodi, The Beginnings of The Purdy Library, by Dr. Ralph Tykodi;

  • The King's Indian Defense Remains as Strong as Ever, by IM Andrew Martin;

  • Eureka! How Chess Ideas are Born, by FM Amatzia Avni;

  • Rook Endgames Over Hamburg, by GM Karsten Müller;

  • Should You Study Pawn Endings?, by Val Zemitis;

  • John S. Hilbert - Essayed, by Bob Long;

  • The Dutch Defense, by IMs Nikolay Minev & John Donaldson;

  • Olaf Ulvestad, by IM John Donaldson;

  • How to Win a Porsche, by ICCF IM John Edwards;

  • The Old Guys, by Dr. Ken Colby;

  • An Openings Summary; The Art of Bisguier; Rex Stout's GAMBIT & Nero Wolfe; Chess Antiques by Andy Ansel; Samurai Chess GM Tony Miles; Book News; The Twi-Knight Zone; Is Setting a Chronos Clock Harder than Understanding Einstein's Theory of Relativity?; Tournaments & The Purdy Library Updates; Contest; Checkered2; The Editor's Squares...

That's a lot to pack into 64 pages, and much of this content appears to be recycled.  For example, the Louis Paulson article was written by Imre König, who died in 1992; the Ken Colby article was taken from his 1979 book Secrets of a Grandpatzer; and so on.  Other articles appear to be of a more recent vintage - GM Rowson's article analyzing a game of his from the Bled Olympiad among them.  This is in keeping with the attitude of Squares, however, which is to entertain and delight the chess enthusiast, and that includes some finely aged material as well as recently written articles.

And what about the pictures?  The pictures are all black & white, a disappointment for a magazine billing itself as "The Chess World's Picture Magazine".  What is worse is the actual paucity of photographs in this issue.  Discounting diagrams (of which there are plenty) and pictures of book covers, I counted fewer than 20 in the entire issue.

Is this worth a $9.50 cover price, or $30 for all four 2003 issues?  I think so.  Starting up a magazine of this nature is incredibly more difficult than you might imagine, and I think Bob Long has made the first steps towards creating a potentially excellent magazine.  Certainly, he has little or no competition in this vein, and I wholeheartedly support his efforts.  We can only hope that Squares blossoms into the promise of it's sub-title, and it will take the support of the chess world to help him make it a reality.

Your Chess Opening Repertoire
Book Review by Carl Tillotson

How To Build Your Chess Opening Repertoire
by Steve Giddons

Or, ‘another quick-fix for lazy chess players…’

Well, maybe a little strong but you have to accept that the main lure of a Chess Opening Repertoire book is normally aimed at the Chess Player who wants someone to do all the hard work for them!

Am I being too disparaging of these types of books?  Well, I have to admit the reason I brought my first Opening Repertoire book was precisely for these reasons.  I wanted to win, and I wanted to win now!

So as a naïve newcomer to Chess, I believed that the book would solve all my problems.  To some extent it did, but in other respects it laid me open to the ‘pain’ that was to follow when it transpired that some of the opening lines recommended were actually not that good!

So it was with a biased attitude that I was asked to review the latest book from Steve Giddens that I would straight away go into ‘cynic’ mode.  After all, an industry has evolved with people ‘knocking’ the latest ‘Keene’ book!

Lets start with the positives: the author clearly lays down the road map for the book when he states he is not into ‘miracle cures’, so you are in for a shock straight away!  OK, if Steve Giddens is not going to give me a ground breaking Opening Repertoire what’s the use of this book?

Read the rest of Carl's review and find out!
 

The Mad Aussie's Chess Trivia
From Graham Clayton

Unofficial US Champion:  Until his death in 1891, George Mackenzie was regarded as the "unofficial" US  chess champion.  After his death, the title was claimed by Simon Lipschutz, as he was the highest placed US competitor at the 1889 New York international congress.  He defeated Jackson Showalter (+7, -1, =7) in a 1892 match.  From then on, the US titles was decided by matches, until the first "modern" US championship tournament in 1936.

Official US Champion:  Up to 1936, the United States chess championship was decided by a match between the champion and a challenger.  In 1936, the defending champion Frank Marshall relinquished the title.  A tournament was organized by the National Chess Federation, which was won by Sammy Reshevsky, who also won the 1938, 1940 and 1942 tournaments.  Despite these tournaments, Reshevsky also defended his title in matches against Al Horowitz in 1941, and Isaac Kashdan in 1942.

Position of the Week: Solution

Today's position comes from the 1930 San Remo tourney.  The mystery is who played White?  I found this gem in a small booklet titled 100 Remarkable Endings, by Ex Scottish Champ P. Wenman.  He lists the combatants as Bogoljubow-Monticelli.  I found it in MegaDataBase 2003 with the players reversed.  The denouement occurs as follows: 36...Ne2+ 37.Rxe2 Rf1+ 38.Kxf1 Qh1+ 39.Kf2 Ng4 mate.  But who won the game?

Quotes

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that the people who really enjoy chess are the dubs and the duffers, experts who have resigned their ambitions, those who play only for pastime, and, of course, the great fraternity of the kibitzers. – Alfred Kreymborg

Chess doesn't need to be popularized in America - it's already popular. – Steve Lopez

My chess friends are young and old, white and black, men and women; there is no discrimination over the chessboard. – Vlad Vainberg

Had it not been for chess I should never have met some of the extraordinary men and women, in many walks of life, whose acquaintance has enriched my days. Among them I count some of my best friends - reason enough for me to be grateful to the game. – Edward Lasker

We must make sure that chess will not be like a dead language, very interesting, but for a very small group. – Sytze Faber

Friends, we're the best publicity chess has. Kasparov can play all the exhibition simuls he wants to against sports figures and musicians, and that's great. But Garry can't be everywhere at once. We can. We're the ambassadors for chess. – Steve Lopez

Personally I am convinced that the future of chess is mainly a participation activity in which the part that chess plays in anyone's life is equally valid. I like the old Indian proverb which says: "Chess is a sea in which the elephant may bathe and the gnat may drink." I do not think that the elephants have a right to tell the gnats how interesting it will be for them to watch from the shore as they clumsily prance around in the water. – Nigel Davies
