(8/10)  Problem of the Week: Tactical training with our weekly puzzle.

(8/10)  Distance Chess - History and Development:  In this latest installment Phil Innes traces the history of the development of Distance Chess, contributors of note, and its current state of reception around the world, with a special note on the United States.  See also Part One - The Future? and Part Two - The Technology.

(8/9)  Balogh Counter Gambit Part 5 - Remaining Lines:  The final installment of IM-CC Keith (The Road Not Taken) Hayward's look at this unique gambit, covering lines not seen in the first four articles:  Part 1 - Introduction/Overview;  Part 2 - Janos Balogh, the Man and His Games;  Part 3 - White plays an early exf5;  Part 4 - Balogh's Main Line.

(8/7)  The New York Masters Game of the Week, with commentary by IM Greg Shahade.  An instructive example of the value of keeping a cool head under fire.  The top dog in the field was the tournament stalwart, GM Leonid Yudasin. He hoped to cool the heels of last week’s surprise champion, Gregory Braylovsky. This wouldn’t be an easy task if Braylovsky plays with the same ferocity that he displayed in his final round victory over Alex Stripunsky last week...Lets cut to the action!

Distance Chess - The Technology

Last week you read Distance Chess - Is it the future? by Phil Innes.  That introduction to Distance Chess was sparked by one extraordinary event at the end of May in, well, in Paris and St. Petersburg.  Today we present Distance Chess - The Technology.  In this, Part 2 of our look at Distance Chess, the author offers a technical illustration to chess event managers of the range of possibilities available to them with current technology to broadcast locally or universally.  Let's take a peek...

"Essentially, the technological basis permits two things: to (a) play chess at a distance, and secondly to (b) simultaneously broadcast the game to the internet and/or to television in real time.

Commentators add significantly to any broadcasts, and the range of features available to them are comprehensive without becoming technically daunting.

Former World Champion Boris Spassky and
GM Mark Taimanov, commenting on the 2003
NAO-St. Petersburg Distance Chess match.

 

Most people in the USA are familiar with situation (a) above, whether they play by sensory board, or use a mouse and pc to play on-line.  Perhaps even as much as 95% of formally rated and non-rated players have tried it, and no further illustration is necessary.  However, condition (b) above seems to be a more esoteric subject in the USA, and even the largest tournaments and matches have not been broadcast live.  To contrast this with Europe, I think all high-level matches and tournaments now broadcast in various degrees of complexity.

Here then is the range of broadcasting possibilities for the event manager who might be, for example, managing a 12 player round robin on 6 boards..."

Distance Chess - History & Development

This third article for Chessville will briefly scan the history of the development of Distance Chess, contributors of note, and its current state of reception around the world, with a special note on the United States.

Distance Chess played on sensory boards developed from multiple sources, including the early efforts of David Bronstein with chess and computers, accommodations for unsighted people (a stepped brail sensory board), and from media demand to immediately share games around the world in real time.

Television as a medium was always problematical: it was expensive, non-interactive, intrusive to players, not global in the sense that each country had separate broadcasting arrangements, and appealed to too few people in any one country to ever be of interest to sponsors.  With the possible exception of Russian television there are no regularly scheduled chess broadcasts anywhere in the world.

Enter the Internet!  Here was an immediate and exciting alternative which was universal, inexpensive to broadcast and to receive, and allowed both real-time transmissions, and past-event interactions with an event. Immediately any game-score was published to the net as text, later as downloadable formats such as pgn, it could be shared around the world, and games could be re-enacted on the web by game-replay engines.

Also enter a computer-programmer and chess player from St. Petersburg who traveled to Elista...

Maelzel's Chess-Player
by Edgar Allen Poe

Poe's account of The Turk, during it's exhibition by Johan Maelzel, and Poe's theories and beliefs about The Turk's inner workings.  This 25 kb zipped text file is in the public domain.  Download this free eBook.  Here is a short excerpt:

PERHAPS no exhibition of the kind has ever elicited so general attention as the Chess-Player of Maelzel. Wherever seen it has been an object of intense curiosity, to all persons who think. Yet the question of its _modus operandi is _still undetermined. Nothing has been written on this topic which can be considered as decisive--and accordingly we find every where men of mechanical genius, of great general acuteness, and discriminative understanding, who make no scruple in pronouncing the Automaton a _pure machine, _unconnected with human agency in its movements, and consequently, beyond all comparison, the most astonishing of the inventions of mankind. And such it would undoubtedly be, were they right in their supposition.

Assuming this hypothesis, it would be grossly absurd to compare with the Chess-Player, any similar thing of either modern or ancient days.  Yet there have been many and wonderful automata. In Brewster's Letters on Natural Magic, we have an account of the most remarkable...

The Mad Aussie's Chess Trivia
From Graham Clayton

The Drawing Master Remembered:  42 of the 45 games played in the 1999 Tigran Petrosian Memorial Tournament in Moscow were drawn, with more than half lasting less than 20 moves.

Better than Bobby?:  Bent Larsen played Board 1 for the Rest of the World team against the USSR in the match played at Belgrade in 1970. Bobby Fischer played on Board 2 for the Rest of the World.

Davies, Kunte, Shaw,  =1st, Blackpool Hilton Int'l

Congratulations to GM Nigel (Ask the Tiger!) Davies for his undefeated score (performance rating 2565), tying for 1st with newly crowned British Champion GM Abhijit Kunte (India) and Scottish IM John Shaw in the Category 8 Hilton Premiere International, August 3-9 in Blackpool, England.  Says GM Davies of his victory: "This was my first victory in an international tournament for several years - though in mitigation I haven't played in any since Dhaka a few years ago.  I managed to survive the heat wave, tough schedule and youth of my opponents (I was the 2nd oldest player) by avoiding risk, conserving energy and waiting for any chances to come my way."

"I'm learning a lot from my one year old son. He is conducting extensive tests by bouncing different balls off different surfaces from different heights (including his father's stomach) and trying hundreds of different variations of "Hi-ya", changing the emphasis on and speed of each syllable during multiple repetitions.

For some reason people appear to stop doing this when they're older, instead looking for a potted answer or generalization when they're older without actually playing around with the thing they want to know about.

My wife thinks it's because we become more result orientated as we become older and look for the shortest method to the required result. But in doing so we forget that the process is what is most important in mastering something."
