The Tamarkin
Counter-Gambit 1.d4 c5 2.Nf3 cxd4 3.b4! e5?! The Tamarkin
Counter-Gambit in the Zilbermints Benoni is named for Life Master Lawrence
“Larry” Tamarkin of Levittstown, New York. Tamarkin and I have played quite
a few games with the 3...e5 variation between 2001 and 2002. Tamarkin
and I have played quite a few games with the 3...e5 variation between
2001 and 2002. Although NM Jerry Simon played this gambit in 1995 against
me, he did not play it again. Larry Tamarkin has played it consistently, and
so it is only right that it bears his name. It is a representative contest, a bloodless combat, an
image, not only of actual military operations, but of that greater warfare
to which every son of the earth, from the cradle to the grave, is
continually waging, the battle of life. Its virtues are as innumerable as
the sands of the African Sahara. It heals the mind in sickness and exercises
it in health. It is rest to the overworked intellect, and relaxation to the
fatigued body. It lessens the grief of the mourner, and heightens the
enjoyment of the happy. It teaches the angry man to restrain his passions,
the light-minded to become grave, the cautious to be bold, and the
venturesome to be prudent. It affords a keen delight to youth, a sober
pleasure to manhood, and a perpetual solace to old age. It induces the poor
to forget their poverty, and the rich to be careless of their wealth. It
admonishes Kings to love and respect their people, and instructs subjects to
obey and reverence their rulers. It shows how the humblest citizens, by the
practice of virtue and the efforts of labor, may rise to the loftiest
stations, and how the haughtiest lords, by the love of vice and the
commission of errors, may fall from their elevated estate. It is an
amusement and an art, a sport and a science. The erudite and untaught, the
high and the low, the powerful and the weak, acknowledge its charms and
confirm its enticements. We learn to be like it in the years of our youth,
but as increased familiarity has developed its beauties, and unfolded its
lessons, our enthusiasm has grown stronger, and our fondness more confirmed.
– Indian philosopher
The Mad Aussie's Chess Trivia Hard To Beat: Jose Capablanca had an 8 year period when he did not lose a single tournament game. After losing to Oscar Chajes in the 1916 New York tournament, his next loss was not until the 1924 New York tournament, when he lost to Richard Reti. Champion Beater: Akiba Rubinstein defeated Emanuel Lasker, Jose Capablanca and Alexander Alekhine in the first game that he played against those players in tournament play. Submit your trivia to the
