Paul Morphy ... — Apparently there has been differing info out there about Morphy. I recall dimly reading a CHESS LIFE article a couple decades ago, and a hodge-podge of articles or book sections/mentions over time (probably before that, mostly). I do recall seeing one somewhere after that where it showed his g, play online chess ...

Help ! (with openings) — I’m trying to learn something about opening theory. The idea being that with a bit more knowledge, I might have some idea about where the game is going rather than being bounced around by circumstances as I seem to do now.

Simplification — 'Simplification' this is something I do a lot these days, the process of trying to win, even by the smallest of margins because I know what I need to secure the mate. OK, so I basically do not allow my opponent any counter play and simplifying whittles the position down to terms that prov, play online chess ...

Vukovic - The Art of the Attack in Chess — In my last OTB tournament game at my local chess club, I was paired against a much stronger player. I was White, playing the Closed Sicilian and had a bit of kingside pressure. I botched the attack and went down in flames. After looking over the game I decided that the next book I'm going t, play online chess ...

Endgame Book — Does anyone know a good book on endgames? Thanks in advance. If there is an endgame book that I will recommend, it would be Silman's "Complete Endgame Book".

Interesting. — Playing OTB. Opening comes as 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 at this point white accidentally touches his king, forcing Ke2 giving black a mate on e4. Quite shattering if you ask me! That is pretty stupid. Accidental brush with the back of the hand happens often, is always ignored and can't be cons, play online chess ...

How to improve — I'm pretty new here. I've only finished 39 games. I'm returning to the game after not playing for a while--ten or fifteen years, I guess.

Pieces score in endgames. — I watched many endgames in which a player who has only a Rook doesn't win against another player who has only a bishop. Searching in Internet about this fact, I've found 90% Rook vs Bishop is a draw. And I know a player who has 2 bishops (without pawns) can win against a lonely king, while 2 knights, play online chess ...

Chess news:

Carlsen stays cool atop rankings — Magnus Carlsen of Norway is a distinctly modern chess phenomenon. At 20, he is the world’s highest-rated chess player. He is also a millionaire — thanks to a lucrative sponsorship agreement with the G-Star apparel company — who can look forward to an expanding list of such commercial deals in the future. Off the board and on the board, Carlsen seems to do it all with a minimum of storm and stress. Unlike the legendary Bobby Fischer, he is not — as he is happy to point out — obsessed with chess. Last year, Carlsen surprised the chess community by turning down an invitation to take part in the cycle for the world chess championship. After calling for changes in the selection process and ...

Two Big Chess Tournaments in the Two Biggest Cities — The biggest chess tournaments in the United States are usually held in places like Philadelphia and Las Vegas, not New York and Los Angeles. The reasons are cost (rents for tournament sites are higher in New York and Los Angeles) and convenience (inland chess tournaments tend to be easier to get to). Last weekend was an exception, with new top-level chess tournaments taking place in the two biggest cities. The competition in Los Angeles, at the First Metropolitan International Tournament, was slightly tougher and included Michael Adams of England, No. 28 in the world, and Loek van Wely of the Netherlands, No. 54. Adams lived up to his ranking by winning the chess tournament by ...

Numberplay: Avoiding Attack — This week we hear from the second half of the Math for Love duo, Daniel Finkel, who has composed several variations on a chess classic. If you haven’t played much chess you won’t be at a disadvantage — all you need is a little logic. And watch out for that knight! Here’s Mr. Finkel: The 8 Queens Puzzle is a classic conundrum of the chess/logic/math variety: how do you place eight queens on a chessboard so that no two queens are attacking each other? Here is one possible configuration: Today, let’s pose the question for some of the less famous chess pieces on the board. 1. (Warm-up) Place eight rooks on a chessboard without any of them attacking each other. How do you know that placing ...

Chess: the genius of Bobby Fischer — If you didn't manage to see the excellent documentary Bobby Fischer Against The World in the cinema this summer, the DVD is released on 12 September. As the film was made for a wide audience it was understandable that the director chose not to discuss Fischer's chess-playing too deeply. But the clarity of his style on the chessboard makes for a telling contrast with his life away from it. Over the next few weeks we are going to be looking at some of Fischer's chess games. Here Black's king and bishop stand well, but White still has irritating counterplay. How did Fischer keep control? RB: Over the chess board how many of us, if we're honest, would simply snatch the pawn on ...

Back to school: Chess 101 — As schools across the area resume classes, it's time for a refresher to relearn what many of us already know, but all too often forget. Even strong chess Grandmasters can forget the basics and make silly mistakes. A few simple tips like king safety, maintaining active pieces and practicing patience can really help improve your play. King safety is an oft-overlooked concept. Back in the 1800s, all the top chess players played for checkmate from the first move. Sacrificing a pawn, a piece or more was quite common, all in an attempt to get at the opponent's king. Aggressive play was often rewarded with inaccurate defense, and many wins were what chess players call "brilliancies." As chess players became ...
