September 8th, 2002 In This Issue White to move and win - Find the Solution
Mr. Mip's Chess Palace Are you Pignorant? Find out, in the King's Gallery, just one of several stops on this tour of the unusual, the fascinating, and the beautiful in the world of chess problems. Hannu Timo Lehto has put together a kaleidoscopic collection of chess problems, from the sublime to the ridiculous. MMCP contains a number of galleries, including the King's Gallery mentioned above, the Queen's Gallery with five of Mr. Mip's own efforts, the Bishop's Gallery - problem's to make you laugh (White to mate in ½-move). The Knight's Gallery has a terrific trio of teasers from one of the all-time greats, Sam Loyd. Each problem has the solution hidden, so there's no chance
to "accidentally" peak. Some even contain cryptic clues, but I think
these are just Mr. Mip's way of expressing his sense of humor. The
only downside to this site is the extreme brevity of the collection - just 18
problems in all. They are guaranteed to entertain & amuse you though,
or your money back. Check out
Mr. Mip's Chess Palace
right now! Stopping the Marshall Gambit of the Slav In Callinan-Connor, 2002, APCT Warren Final, some interesting discoveries were made that simplify Black’s task in defending against the dangerous Marshall Gambit. 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c6 This is the Noteboom
variation of the Semi-Slav defense, a simple pawn triangle. One idea behind
the Noteboom is to defang the exchange variation of the Queen's Gambit,
since after cxd5 exd5, there is no black knight to pin on f6. Another very
good thing about the Noteboom is its lack of coverage in opening manuals.
For example, it is not even mentioned in Schiller's Standard Chess Openings,
though the Noteboom has been played even by Kramnik. 4.e4 dxe4 5.Ne4 Bb4+
6.Bd2 The Marshall Gambit, named after the famous American player
Frank Marshall, involves sacrificing the e-pawn for open lines. If White
retreats the knight to c3, he would have saved the pawn but gotten a
(slightly) inferior position after Nf6. By the way, the first game in which
this line was played was Marshall-Schlechter, Monte Carlo 1902 (1-0).
