Position of the Week

New On The Net

"The longer I live, the more I am certain that the great difference between the great and insignificant is energy – invincible determination – a purpose once fixed and then death or victory." – Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton

from the editor...Those nasty gremlins snuck in here last week and mislabeled the Position of the Week!  It should have read "Black to move and win" as so many of you were kind enough to point out.  My apologies for the confusion.

Be sure to check out the Online Chess League's new
Summer Individual Tourney
(report below).  Just what you need for summer!

(Yes, I am sure - it is White to move!)

(6/22)  Problem of the Week: Tactical training with our weekly puzzle.

(6/20)  Strange Chess NewsHamoukar Disgruntled Player Syndrome Reported.  The JAX Chess Newsletter editor Bradley Zang would like you to know that some of these stories are so unbelievable even he doesn't believe them!  (Chessville Editor's note: I've never actually met Brad, nor seen his ID, so I can not vouch that this is his real name.  It could be an alias used by anyone - even Bobby Fischer!)

(6/20)  The New York Masters Game of the Week, with analysis by IM Greg Shahade.  This week's exciting game features an exciting lineup of four GM’s, including the crowd favorite, 15 year old Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura.  Hikaru has just recently surpassed Varuzhyn Akobian as the top rated player in the nation under 21 years old.  Other GM’s in attendance were all time NY Masters money leader, GM Leonid Yudasin, Polish GM Alex Wojtkiewicz and Czech GM Pavel Blatny.  Our featured game is:

3) Blatny,P (2563) - Bonin,J (2440) [A01]
60th New York Masters New York (3), 10.06.2003

(6/19)  The Only Move:  A brand new, never before seen Perry the PawnPusher story by Rick Kennedy!  It's the last remaining Perry story, and it starts off like this:

Cecil Purdy had it right.

When you play over an annotated chess game, there is always a player helping you select your moves.  There is another one playing hard against you.  Meanwhile, a third player is commenting on the progress of your game.  How can chess not be enjoyed in such fine company?

I would rather play over one game, replete with such wisdom of the masters, than struggle through a dozen contests that arrive un-commented-upon, no matter how brilliant they might be.

The only thing that matches, for the sheer joy of it, the act of reading those annotations - other than, of course, creating the original games - is providing those explanatory notes, themselves.  From patzer to expert, we are all kibitzers at heart.

Read the rest of The Only Move!

(6/17)  Tactical Training: We organized our Problem of the Week collection according to the tactical themes contained in the problems, and made it easy for you to use these problems to supplement your tactical study program, or to learn a new tactical theme.  The tactical themes listed may be the primary focus of the problem, or they may appear only in the notes to a variation unplayed.  Go through the problems in order of date of publication for a random study plan, or focus in on a particular theme, the choice is yours.  New problems are, of course, added weekly, so keep coming back to sharpen your tactical skills!
 

By Rick Kennedy

The Only Move is a brand new, never before seen Perry the PawnPusher story by Rick Kennedy!  It's the last remaining Perry story, which Rick recently re-discovered - an incomplete Perry story - and finished it just for us.  He writes "I stumbled across a Perry story that was 90% written at the time I lost it - I was sure I had done the tale, but couldn't find it anywhere... Anyhow, it's time for...one more Perry the PawnPusher saga!"

Rick Kennedy, who bears a striking resemblance to Perry the PawnPusher, has been playing chess almost 50 years. Rick's fiction has appeared in different places, such as: Chess 'n' stuff, Chess Atlas, Chess Life, and School Mates. He has chronicled the misadventures of Perry the PawnPusher, revealed a half-dozen chess-based adventures involving Sherlock Homes, and even reported on the chessic hi-jinks of his daughter, Mary Elizabeth, and his son, Jonathan.

In a more serious vein, he has written, along with Riley Sheffield, The Marshall Gambit in the French and Sicilian Defenses.  His theoretical articles and historical researches have appeared in the Unorthodox Chess Openings Newsletter. He is editor and publisher of "The Silent Knight," the monthly newsletter for the United States Chess Association of the Deaf (and an excellent article about America's best deaf chess player - Russell Chauvenet).

In a less serious vein, he is deeply researching the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5), some results of which can be seen at the Chess History Center. Rick is always looking for Jerome Gambit games and analyses!

In real life, Rick (a social worker counseling children) lives in Columbus, Ohio, with his wife of 26 years, Libby (a school psychologist), and two teenagers, Mary and Jon. College son Matt - who wrote a story for School Mates, got it published, got paid, and then got extra credit in English class for it - graduates in '03 and is headed for AmeriCorps.

Chessville has now published eight of Rick's Perry the PawnPusher stories, starting with the seminal Perry the PawnPusher.  Other stories include Another Story; Endorphins; Playing Today; Many Places; And A Disaster; The Vera Menchik Club; and now The Only Move.

Earlier this month we debuted a new series of chess-themed short fiction by Rick, based on the Sherlock Holmes character.  That inaugural story is The Case of the Baker Street Irregular.  A great story with a great game, this story is some of Rick's best efforts.  This never-before published story won second place in MENSA's Sherlock Holmes Special Interest Group writing contest.  Well worth reading, and playing, through.

Rick has also provided an article and accompanying games about Russell Chauvenet, the best Deaf chess player in America, along with a number of annotated games by Chauvenet.

Check out Rick's work, I think you'll enjoy yourself immensely!
 

Strange Chess News
as reported in the JAX Chess News

Hamoukar Disgruntled Player Syndrome Reported
by Elliotte Wisanski

What is it about Syrian desert that awakens such great ideas? We've all heard about Jonah, Paul and Mohammed getting inspirational revelations there, but did you know that Philip Stamma came out from a Syrian desert walk to become the father of modern chess, or that Gene Roddenberry a promoter of chess through Star Trek, got his creative inspiration for it, when his plane crashed in the Syrian desert. It is said Pythagoras (of Geometric fame) while traveling the Syrian wasteland came up with one of his lesser known but perhaps greatest theorems. It states that all things within the universe emit a tone. Perhaps its just a coincidence. Pythagoras a student of animals and insects might have just noticed that even inanimate types of Larvae vibrate. (Triceratops beetle is a good example.)

Perhaps we should look to the Roman scribe Titus Lucretius Carus (50 BCE) for our first clue to the answer. He wrote about a mysteries place, " In Syria also- as men say- a spot Is to be seen, where also four-foot kinds, As soon as ever they've set their steps within, Collapse, o'ercome by its essential power".

Today when we look back at that arcane desert spot mentioned by Lecretus our advanced technological knowledge makes the mysterious just a minor curiosity. For example: We now know sound waves inaudible to humans of frequencies of 40000 hertz can disorient (even make the animal fall down) ie: dogs, horses, cattle.

But, can infra or ultra sound affect people? Scientists like Ciarán O'Keeffe now at Liverpool Hope University's Psychology department has conducted tests to answer this question. http://news.dmusic.com/print/6142 Among some of the results so far are inaudible sounds cause anger and the feeling that ghosts are nearby.

Chess also seems to invoke anger in some people. Wars have been started over games and Chess History is riddled with quotes from angry disgruntled players. Even the fairest minded of men show signs of this. In the early part of the 18th century Scottish Judge Lord Kames (Henry Homes) upon sentencing an old chess companion to death once said " And that Thomas is checkmate"

With this background let Anwar Aleppo tell his story.
 

OCL Summer Individual Tourney

The Online Chess League has something new in store as a mid-summer break from their usual fare of team events - a Summer Individual Tourney!  All the fun of our regular events, but this time you play on your own - no teams.

This will be a 5-round tournament using FIDE Swiss Pairing Rules.  You can play in the following sections: Under-1500, Under-1800 and OPEN.  Registration deadline is 00:00 FICS time on July 12th, and the whole event will be over by August 19th.

Remember - the OCL plays standard time control games of 60 minutes each with a 15-second increment.  If you've been curious about the OCL, or have wanted to play in the OCL but couldn't hook up with a team, or didn't want to play for longer than a month or so, this is the event for you!

The Mad Aussie's Chess Trivia
From Graham Clayton

Championship Stalemate:  The longest game played in a world championship match was the 5th game of the Korchnoi-Karpov match in Baguio City in 1978.  The game was drawn by stalemate after 124 moves.  It is also the only World Championship match game to have ended in stalemate as well.

Championship Class:  Mikhail Tal had to withdraw after 21 rounds of the 28 round Curacao Candidates tournament in 1962 due to illness.  While recovering in hospital, the only player who visited him was Bobby Fischer.

Position of the Week: Solution

Today we bring you another fabulous game from ages past:

Zukertort,J - Blackburne,J
London, 1883

An ambitious reader could spend a lot of time looking at the many variations in the last five moves of this game - there is plenty of good tactical practice value!  The moves leading up to the diagrammed position were: 1.c4 e6 2.e3 Nf6 3.Nf3 b6 4.Be2 Bb7 5.0-0 d5 6.d4 Bd6 7.Nc3 0-0 8.b3 Nbd7 9.Bb2 Qe7 10.Nb5 Ne4 11.Nxd6 cxd6 12.Nd2 Ndf6 13.f3 Nxd2 14.Qxd2 dxc4 15.Bxc4 d5 16.Bd3 Rfc8 17.Rae1 Rc7 18.e4 Rac8 19.e5 Ne8 20.f4 g6 21.Re3 f6 22.exf6 Nxf6 23.f5 Ne4 24.Bxe4 dxe4 25.fxg6 Rc2 26.gxh7+ Kh8 27.d5+ e5.  [Diagram]  Did you find White's next move?  28.Qb4!! R8c5  The best move here is 28...Re8 but after 29.Qxe7 Rxe7 30.Rh3 Rc8 31.d6 Re6 32.d7 Ra8 33.Rf7 all roads lead to mate. Time for Black to call it a day.  29.Rf8+ Kxh7  29...Qxf8 holds out for one move longer: 30.Bxe5+ Qg7 ( 30...Kxh7 31.Qxe4+ Kh6 Mr. Fritz says there are two different mates-in-four here. Happy hunting!) 31.Bxg7+ Kxg7 32.Qd4+ and now there are a pair of mates-in-five.  30.Qxe4+ Kg7 31.Bxe5+  With such a wealth of winning lines, Herr Zukertort can perhaps be forgiven for missing this mate-in-seven: 31.Rg8+ Kxg8 32.Qg6+ Qg7 33.Qe8+ Qf8 34.Rg3+ Kh7 and now there are three different mates-in-three!  31...Kxf8 32.Bg7+ 1-0.   32...Kg8 is the only move not leading to mate-in-four or less.  33.Qxe7 Rc1+ 34.Kf2 R5c2+ 35.Kg3 As another annotator once wrote, "And now Hope says she has an appointment elsewhere."
