New At Chessville

from the editor... The Party continues!  As Chessville embarks on our 2nd year, it's time to remember and thank all of the folks who have helped us during our first year.  Last week we thanked you, our readers, today I want to thank some of the people who have helped us with content, organization, and so forth.  First and foremost, I want to mention my founding partners, Evan Kreider and Kelly Atkins.  Without them, there would be no Chessville today.

Pablo Sierra has done a tremendous job with the News Section, bringing you news and games from all of the major tournaments.  Did you see his Report from Budapest on the famous 1st Saturday tourneys?

I hope I managed to remember all of the many many people who have helped Chessville become the success it has.  Thanks to all of you!!

Here are some of the many people I owe a deep debt of gratitude to:  Diego Acosta; Cem Berk; Kevin Bidner; Chris Bird (Fantasy Chess); Randy Carson; Graham Clayton (The Mad Aussie); Peter Conner; GM Nigel Davies (Ask the Tiger!); Peter Dove; C. A. Escoffery; John Fernandez; Kevin Fonseca; GM Mikhail Golubev; IM-CC Keith Hayward; NM Dan Heisman (The Coach); Albert Hoogendoorn; Andy Howie; Sören Jensen; Paul Keiser; Rick Kennedy; Lev Khariton; Leopold Lacrimosa; Bob Long; Steve Lopez; Glenn McNatt; Russell Miller; Jim Mitch (aka Professor Chester Nuhmentz); László Nagy; the Online Chess League; Max Panfilov; Tony Rook; Davide Rozzoni; Steve Ryan; James Schroeder; IM Greg Shahade; IM David Smerdon; FM Jose Soza; Carl Tillotson; Jason Varsoke; Bill Whited; Lamarr Wilson; Bradley Zang; Lev Zilbermints; and all of the other contributors that I've forgotten to mention.  Thanks to all of you for all of your help and support!!!

To start the new year off right, we've decided not to make you wait until Sunday for new updates, instead we will post them on Chessville's home page as soon as they are ready.  We will continue to list recently posted material here and on the Chessville home page; in fact, we will keep the last two weeks worth of updates available for you, right here.

The New York Masters Game of the Week, with analysis by IM Greg Shahade.  What a difference a week makes!  Last week we had only one grandmaster, and this week we had five!  Of our 14 player field, only 2 players were rated under 2300, so it was a VERY strong field this week.  The average USCF rating this week was 2452, probably the highest in NY Masters history.  This week's exciting game:

Review: MagnateGames Third Millennium Chess set.  As you can see from the photograph, this is not a pocket set; it is more correctly termed a travel set.  The pieces are magnetic, and the board is covered with a plastic laminate that makes it 100% waterproof - see the picture...  and read the rest of the review of this excellent product.

OCL Update - Lots going on in the OCL these days:  new Champions, new Board members, new tourney!

New Links Added:  Check out these three new sites we've added to our world-famous links collection!



Third Millennium Chess Set

MagnateGames sells chess products, including an assortment of electronics, magnetic wood sets, clocks, and the Third Millennium Chess set (TMC), which is the subject of this review.

As you can see from the photograph, this is not a pocket set; it is more correctly termed a travel set.  The pieces are magnetic, and the board is covered with a plastic laminate that makes it 100% waterproof - see the picture below.

The chessboard is 8˝ x 11 inches (279x216mm) opened including the capture panels, 8˝ x 5˝ inches folded, with 7˝  inch square (190mm) playing area and weighs 5 ounces (145g).  One of the unique features is the fold; most folding sets fold between the 4th and 5th ranks; TMC folds between the d and e files.  This allows you to hold the set like a book.  There's plenty of space to store captured pieces along the sides, which also serve as convenient handles for holding the set by.  A self-sealing plastic case provides clean storage and security against lost pieces when not in use.

Every detail of this set has been carefully thought out, and carefully researched.  When I talked with Dave from MaganteChess, it was clear that he has deeply considered every detail of his products, from the extra set of queens (graphically differentiated for promoting to knight, bishop, or rook) to the small magnetic squares left over from separating the pieces (used to indicate last move, if needed) to the shape of the pieces themselves, this third-generation set has the extra attention to detail that one expects of the finest products.  Yet TMC sells on their web site for just $16.95 US, plus shipping.

Lev Alburt, Gregory Kaidanov, Alexander Shabalov, and Hikaru Nakamura all have their own Signature Series TMC sets, which are limited in quantity, serialized and accompanied with a matching serialized certificate of authentication.  A slew of accessories, from 3-D wooden magnetic pieces to 3-ring zippered pouches are also available.

This is a highly functional quality travel chess set.  If that's what you're in the market for, check out MagnateGames, and look over the Third Millennium Chess set along their other products; this much quality for this low cost is a rare combination, and is worthy of your further investigation.

Lots going on in the OCL these days:  new Champions, new Board members, new tourney!

The Spring 2003 tourney is drawing to a close, with the Under-1500 Section already concluded. The U-1500 Champions are The Knightmares, finishing just a single point ahead of their closest rivals, Simply Blunderful.  The Knightmares, ranked fourth in the section starting out, consists of Scott Forest, Barrie Rouse, Darren Radford, Jose Alonso, Gertjan Verhaeren, and Gábor Memerscheimer.

A new tourney - with a new concept - is scheduled for July: the Summer 2003 Individual Tourney!  For the first time, you can now play in the OCL on your own, rather than as part of a team.  This will be a five-round Swiss-style tourney with the following sections: U1500, U1800 and OPEN - Rating used will be the higher of either your FICS or ICC rating.  Enter today, registration closes 00:00 FicsST July 12th.

The Board of Directors has undergone several changes, partially in preparation for a brand new section coming this fall - the Under-2000 section.  New Board members include Scott Forest, Director of Player Services - Under 2000 Section; Scott Pletka, Director of Player Services - Under 1800 Section; Magnus Franzén, Player Representative - Under 1800 Section; and Frank Dodgen, Player Representative - Under 1500 Section.  For the full slate of officers, check out the Board of Directors page.
 

The Mad Aussie's Chess Trivia
From Graham Clayton

National Chess League:  In January 1976, the United States Chess Federation ran the inaugural "National Chess League". These were matches played on 6 boards, with the moves transmitted by telephone. The 9 teams who entered finished in the following order:

1. Washington Plumbers
2. New York Threats
3. Cleveland Headhunters
4. San Fransisco Dragons
5. Los Angeles Stauntons
6. Miami Capablancas
7. Chicago Prairie Dogs
8. Boston 64's
9. Houston Helpmates
 

Many of the top US players of the era competed, including Larry Christiansen, Anthony Saidy, Arnold Denker, Robert Byrne, Andy Soltis, Pal Benko, Edmar Mednis, Arthur Bisguier and Lubomir Kavalek.

National Chess Day:  US President Gerald Ford declared the 9th of October 1976 "National Chess Day" in the United States of America, "....to give special recognition to a game that generates challenge, intellectual stimulation and enjoyment for citizens of all ages."

Wisdom...
From Chessville's Vaults

Middlegame goals are to; 1) checkmate the enemy king, 2) win material, and 3) establish a winning endgame.

In the middlegame, active, coordinated pieces, open lines, and aggressive play are the keys to success.

The most important middlegame principle is to establish and maintain a SAFE and ACTIVE position (passive positions contain the germs of defeat).

In symmetrical positions, a single tempo can play a decisive role. The first player to undertake aggressive actions can often force his opponent into a permanently passive role.

Always be aware of back-rank mates. If it is possible to make some luft for your king, without serious loss of time or weakening your king's defenses, it is well worth considering.

A fianchettoed bishop combined with a pawn advance on the opposite wing is a standard technique for exerting strategic pressure.

If the position is equal, then playing too hard for the advantage is risky.

No matter what the position or situation on the board, remain calm. Panic routs logical thinking.

Playing to win is often less effective at achieving the desired results than simply playing good chess.

To consolidate an advantage, eliminating enemy counterplay is more important than grabbing extra material.

Sometimes it is more important to create counterplay than it is to avoid weaknesses. Wounds may not be fatal, but suffocation usually is.

It is usually far more important to activate pieces than to grab pawns.

Originality and surprise moves are powerful weapons in practical chess. Inducing errors is an important part of the game.

Knowing which pieces you want to exchange is a great help in forming a plan and choosing the correct moves.

If your opponent has a strong or mobile pawn center, the best way to combat it is to attack it with pawns.

A piece permanently locked out of play is as good as lost.

An enemy pawn firmly embedded in one's position is like a fishbone caught in your throat. Nothing good can come of it.

Piece sacrifices and exchange sacrifices for positional compensation are common. You should always be on the lookout for them.

Exchange passive pieces for your opponent's active pieces, unless behind in material.

Avoid unnecessary exchanges when behind in material.

Select a plan and stay with it. Don’t switch without good reason.

Never play aimlessly and without a plan and a clear goal in mind.
