Magnus Carlsen drops out of World Championship cycle

2010-11-05T10:27:00.001+01:00

I read this on chessbase news this morning,and found this very diapointing;not that i beleived too much in Carlsen chance or that I am interrested very much by him but because I 'm tired of all that people who are unable to play under rules and wants to do their own championship.I dont read the propositions made by Magnus ,maybe they are very good but that is not the point;play !shown us who is best ,it is what is interresting to spectators.

Infinite Chessboard

2010-11-04T12:18:00.001+01:00

question:Imagine an infinite chessboard(or an hperspace) ,how many pieces do you need to give chessmate in an ending?or said in another way:can you checmate with 2 rooks against king alone?

Once upon a time ..

2010-10-29T00:50:00.000+02:00

It is a long time I have not writed anything;ok I am very busy by my work but that is not the main thing,The real true is that I dont like the chess world too much that days:Fischer and Larsen passed away,Kasparov dont play anymore,and kids of 12 years with names I dont care to remember are winning tournaments!

Still soon I will be back!For the time being looks at the girl above isn't chess a pleasant game?

Kiss to girls,hanshake to boys.

strip chess

2010-09-19T19:40:00.001+02:00

Some time ago I wrote an article about strip -chess,(a nice way to promote chess,imagine Anand or Kasparov,,,No please forget this).dont be mislead the picture above is from Man Ray and feature Marcel Duchamp who was a french surrealist and chess Champion(there is an article on him in the blog)I always thought Surrealism and Chess are connected, for example Raymond Roussel (impression d'Afrique)wrote a method to checkmate king with Bishop and Knight

Bent Larsen died at 75

2010-09-11T09:49:00.001+02:00

In France today it is very sunny but I dont feel too well learning the death of Bent Larsen.I never had the chance to meet the man but I always had him in a part of my heart with Borges,Coltrane ,Bashung ,Brautigan...He was not only a great champ,the best no-russians player during many years, he was also a writer,a daring ,innovateur well educated man so maybe what everybody should try to be.
I will soon show here some of his games but more than that ,remember the man please.

I receive the following email :I hope you enjoy my new site www.chessquotes.com . There is really nothing like it on the web ... I was quite frankly surprised that the domain name was available and that nobody seized upon the idea before I did. If you find it worthy, I would be pleased if you added a link on your site.

I am always happy to see new chess site so please have a look.
I dont know if this is on the site but I like vey much what Kasparov is supossed having said when he learned he will Play Nigel Short for the World tittle:"It is Short and it will be short".

playing a GMI with my too big fingers.

2010-08-22T05:41:00.023+02:00

On holidays I had trouble playing on Playchess; first I needed to find free wifi and secondly I was unable to play quickly because my fingers are much too big for the touch of my notebook(Ok some may said that usually I am slow cause of my head not big enough ...)
still I had the great chance to play a strong GM in 2 friendly games ,I am white in the first:
Black IStohl (2352) friendly game 5m + 0s Grande salle de jeu, 10.08.2010

1.Nf3 g6 2.g3 Bg7 3.Bg2 Nf6 4.0-0 0-0 5.d4 d6 6.c4 Nc6 7.Nc3 a6 8.Qd3 Rb8 9.d5 Nb4 10.Qd2 a5 11.h3 Bd7 12.Nd4 Qc8 13.Kh2 c6 14.a3 Na6 15.Rb1 cxd5 16.cxd5 Nc5 17.b4 axb4 18.axb4 Na4 19.Nxa4 Bxa4 20.Bb2 Bd7 21.e4 Qd8 22.f4 Ne8 23.Nf3 Bxb2 24.Qxb2 Ng7 25.Rbc1 Rc8 26.Qd4 Rc7 27.Qb6 Rxc1 28.Qxd8 Rxd8 29.Rxc1 Rc8 30.Rxc8+ Bxc8 31.Nd4 f6 32.g4 g5 33.f5 Bd7 34.Bf1 Kf7 35.Bb5 Ke8 36.Kg3 h5 37.Kf3 hxg4+ 38.hxg4 Bxb5 39.Nxb5 Kd7 40.Ke3 Ne8 41.Nd4 Nc7 42.Kd3 b5 43.Kc3 Kc8 44.Nc6 Kd7 45.Nd4 Kc8 46.Nc6 Kd7 IStohl offers a draw . 47.Nd4 (Lag: Av=0.63s, max=10.4s) ½-½

in the revanche the GM with white won a nice game:

2010-08-21T19:27:00.001+02:00

Fressinet won the tie break in blitz 1.5-0.5 to take the title against Edouard.
You can also look at Dorfman score 11 draw !some of them in less than 20 moves;It is not the first time that he does this kind of result and I wonder why people invited him?Nobody more interresting to watch?
Still congratulation to Fressinet !!

hmm no comment!

joke for friday

2010-08-19T18:23:00.001+02:00

A chess master died – after a few days, a friend of his heard a voice; it was him!
“What’s it like, where you are now,” he asked.
“What do you want to hear first, the good news or the bad news.”
“Tell me the good news first.”
“Well, it’s really heaven here. There are tournaments and blitz sessions going on all the time and Morphy, Alekhine, Lasker, Tal, Capablanca, Botvinnik, they’re all here, and you can play them.”
“Fantastic!” the friend said, “and what is the bad news?”
“You have Black against Capablanca on Saturday.”

2010-07-16T08:38:00.001+02:00

Nakamura has a lot of fans,he is probably the best blitz and bullet player in the world,.About his chess I have my own opinion which is :Bad moves but good results !.He himself said he plays like an engine with sometime terrible moves for an humain eye.BTW make your own view with his blog :www;hikarunakamura.com, but be careful his games can damage your eyes.

here is a game where the looser said that a 1360 player cant play like that and that she is using an engine;Of course it is not so ,the difference between player is more on their positional capacities .Btw white plays good chess but nothing special but black blundered.On the screen picture you can see that sometime hard words are on server.Bravo to the lovely DB!

strip chess the real rule!

2010-07-06T17:55:00.000+02:00

Ok the blog tell you the true about strip Chess.

Strip Chess is played on a piece by piece system. Each time one partner piece gets captured in the game, he/she will have to remove one thing he/she is wearing. This is how it works.

Pawn: Lose socks or watch or something minor like that, if you are out of minor clothing items then there is no penalty.

Rooks: If a person has lost both of their rooks they lose their pants. There is no penalty for losing just 1 rook.

Bishop-Knight: If you lose 2 of any combination of these you lose shirt. This means all shirts above the bra, if you are a girl, and if the girl is not wearing a bra then she still loses all shirts.

Queen: If a girl loses her queen she loses her bra. That doesn’t mean she also loses her shirt. If shes not wearing a bra then she loses her pants. If a guy loses his queen the other player gets to choose between him losing his shirt and his pants. If he’s lost both, then he loses his underwear.

King: If a king is put in checkmate then you lose your underwear, if you still have your pants then you keep them though, just lose the underwear.

Spectators: If people are watching, it’s only fair that they get naked too. They must choose one player to back and incur any penalties that the player receives.

Pawn advancement: A pawn can undo a penalty if it advances to the last row. You can’t use pawn advantage as ’insurance’ if you turn your pawn into a queen and you lose it, you incur the queen-loss penalties. Even if you have another Queen.

If you have lost your pants because you lost 2 bishops or 2 knights or 1 of each, then you advance 1 pawn, you can advance it into one of whatever you are missing, and get your pants back.

When 2 IM meet in ANCL...

2010-06-19T18:24:00.001+02:00
There are some international masters playing in ANCL and this season there was a shock in the first round:
TheButcher - FedorseevVladimir ANCL , 19.06.2010

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.h3 0-0 6.Nf3 e5 7.d5 a5 8.Bg5 Na6 9.g4 Nc5 10.Nd2 c6 11.Be2 Bd7 12.h4 Qb6 13.0-0
and not 13.Rb1? Nxg4 14.Bxg4 Nd3+ 15.Ke2 Nxf2 with advantage to black
13.Bxf6!?is not of course what white wants to play in this variation the black squares will soon be weak and without this bischop no attacks can succed.
13...Qxb2 14.Rc1 Qb6
very passive play 14...Rfc8!? is more thematic and another way is:14...cxd5 15.cxd5 (15.Bxf6? Bxf6 16.Nxd5 Bxh4 is good to black) 15...b5 with more or less equality ;in this kind of set up ,one thing is good to remember :to take on d5 is only good if ..b5 can follow.
15.Be3 with a draw offer
15...Qd8
again too passive 15...a4 preventing Na4 is better I think
16.Kg2 h5 17.gxh5 Nxh5 18.Bxh5 gxh5 19.Qxh5 Nd3 20.Rg1 !f5
20...Nxc1 may hold 21.Kh1 f6 22.Rxg7+ Kxg7 23.Bh6+ Kh8 24.Bxf8+ Kg8= but I understand that black avoided this line on the board
21.Kh2 Rf7
21...f4?? 22.Rxg7+ Kxg7 23.Rg1+ winning on spot.
22.Nf3 f4
22...Nxc1 23.Ng5 Qf6 24.Qh7+ Kf8 25.Qh5! Kg8 26.Bxc1 with a great advantage to white
23.Ng5 Re7??
23...Qf6 is the only move to stay alive 24.Rb1 fxe3 25.fxe3 but white is much better
24.Qh7+ Kf8 25.Rcd1+- fxe3 26.Rxd3 Bf6 27.Qh6+ Rg7 28.Rxe3 Kg8 29.Reg3 Qe7 30.Nh7

ANCL will begin next week so it is time to start again the blog;as I was not really on chess those days I let you meditate about the following joke:

Having already downed a few power drinks, she turns around, faces him, looks him straight in the eye and says, "Listen here good looking, I screw anybody, anytime, anywhere, your place, my place, in the car, front door, back door, on the ground, standing up, sitting down, naked or with clothes on; it doesn't matter to me. I just love it."

Eyes now wide with interest, he responds, "No kidding. I'm in Government too."

we are between season 13-14 in Ancl and I will take a rest from the blog,of course a lot is hapening in the chess word like election of the next FIDE president but I understand almost nothing about this storie,I suppose it is the usual things:"how to get more money or power",so promise anything you can it will be time later to forget.

A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation.

The lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following:

"Emma comes first. Den I come. Den two asses come together. I come once-a-more. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come one lasta time."

"You foul-mouthed sex obsessed swine," retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country....we don't speak aloud in public places about our sex lives........."

"Hey, coola down lady," said the man.

"Who talkin' abouta sexa? I'm justa tellin' my frienda how to spella 'Mississippi'." :):):))))))))

The come back of Yazz!

2010-05-16T06:26:00.002+02:00

In sport there is one wonderful thing :The come back of the champion!Be careful, it is wonderful only if the champion wins, if not it can destroy the legend;I am thinking of the never ending pitiful come back of some boxers;for example the first come back of Ray Sugar Leonard was great ,winning against Marvellous Marvin Hagler but his second come back ,KO from an unknown warrior was very deceptive.In chess the come back of Fischer ,20 years after his first world Chamionship was great and Bobby was clever enough to understand that is was also time to stop forever ,even with all his talents he was a man from the past.
Seirawan is one of my chess heroe ,he stopped competitive chess some years ago but from time to time he plays a game or two insome Dutch club league or in special event. For a fan like me,adding another game to my collection is always a great pleasure!
Now he is playing a little 4 match game against a junior,Benjamin Bok in Amsterdam at the Euwe Memorial.3 games have been played with Yazz leading 2-1(I will soon publish the game dont worry)

This week it was about Zugwang!A word wich means that all the moves you can make will be bad.
the solution is:1Bg1 Bc7 2 Bf2 Bd8 3 Be3 and now it is Zugwang a legal move from black will loose by force.

colossal defense from Anand to catch the draw!

Ich war mir noch nicht sicher, wohin mit dem König, lange Rochade oder Kf8-g7 sieht auch gut aus. 21.b4 Bloß nicht den Bauern schlagen. Db4 Tb1 und Weiß bekommt gegenspiel. 21...Qe5 22.Qd2 Hier bewertete ich die Stellung. Material: ich habe einen gesunden mehrbauern= statischer Vorteil, Bauernstruktur: ich habe die bessere Struktur, e6 kann schwahcw werden und f2,h2,h3 sind enorm schwach, ich habe auch eine BAuerninsel weniger, Entwicklung: Weiß hat leichten enticklungsvorsprung, und muss diesen dynamischen Vorteil mit einem sofortigen Angriff nutzen, sonst verliert aufgrund seines statischen nachteils, Initiative: Im moment hat Weiß eine leichte Initiative, die aber nur vorübergehend ist, Linien: Weiß hat die e-linie besetzt mein Turm ist noch außer spiel, Felder, f4 und h3 sind schwach, bei Schwarz könnte g6 ein Angriffsobjekt werden.
Da ich statisch gesehen ein Übergewicht habe, bietet sich Df4 an, Weiß darf den Damentausch nicht annehmen, danach kann ich meine Entwicklung abschließen, wonach Weiß nur noch auf die Schwäche g6 spielen kann, diese ist aber leicht mit f5 zu decken. 22...Qf4 23.Qc2 f5 24.Qc3 0-0-0 Chess bond offers a draw. Ich sah hier, dass Df6 an Dd2 scheitert 25.b5 [25.Qf6 Qd2 26.Rf1 Nd5 27.Qd4 Nf4 28.Qxa7 Nxe6] 25...Nd5 ich erwartete hier Dc2, worauf ich ruhig mit c5 antworten wollte. 26.Qa5? Qb4 27.Qxb4 Nxb4 28.Bc4 d5 29.Bf1 Hier war mir ein bisschen mulmig, ich befürchtet ich könnte meinen Springer verlieren. Leider übersah ich hier, dass nach Te8 Weiß mit Tb1 Gegenspiel bekommt, in meiner Berechnung war ich heir zu nahchlässig 29...Re8 30.Rb1 Tb1 hatte ich zwar gesehen, auch Sc2 aber ich übersah vorher dass der Turm auf b7 eindringen konnte. 30...Nc2 31.bxc6 bxc6 32.Ba6+ Kc7 33.Rb7+ Kd6 34.Rxa7 Rxe6 35.Bc8 Re1+ 36.Kg2 d4 37.Rg7 Eine der Ideen von Ta1 war ein mattmotiv auf der Grundreihe, obwohl ich eigentlich wusste das ich einen starken Freibauern habe, der auch Unterstützung von c6 erhalten kann, hatte ich ein wenig Angst, dass ich Probleme bekommen, weil ich meine Königsflügelbauern verliere. Aber meine Intuition, dass die Köngiszentralisierung gut für mich ist, war richtig. 37...Ra1 38.Rxg6+ Ke5 39.Rxg5 d3 40.Bxf5 [40.Rxf5+ Kd4 41.Rf7 c5 42.h4 d2 43.Bg4 Ne1+ 44.Kh3 Rxa2 45.h5 Ra6 46.Rd7+ Kc3 47.Kg3 c4 48.f4 Kc2 49.Be2 Rc6 50.Kg4 c3 51.Kg5 Kb1 52.Rb7+ Kc1 53.Rd7 Rc5+ 54.Kg4 c2 55.h6 Rc8 56.Kh5 Re8 57.Bg4 Ng2 58.f5 Ne3 59.Bf3 Nc4 60.h7 (60.Rd5 Ne5 61.Be2 Nd3) ] 40...Kf4 41.Rh5 [41.h4 Ne1+ 42.Kh3 d2 43.Bg4 Nd3 44.Kg2 c5 45.Be2 c4 46.Rg3 Re1 47.Rg4+ Kf5 48.Rg5+ Kf6 49.Bg4 c3] 41...Ne1+ 42.Kf1 Nf3+ 43.Kg2 Rg1# (Lag: Av=1.51s, max=10.5s) 0-1

Ok this is not connected to chess but I have an excuse I found it trying to work for the blog and secondly I laughed a lot, so have a look and reactions(I mean comments) welcome.

Today Rest day

2010-05-02T07:21:00.001+02:00

Once more I am unhappy to see that the rest day happends during my own rest day!So they will play again when I will be working and will not be able to follow the game!

Also a quite interresting information:the manager of Topalov ,Silvio Danalov said that Internet sites must respect copyright laws.
I dont really know what he wants to mean ,because there is no copyright on chess games,most probably he is thinking about tranmission of the moves in real time.
Well you can ask yourself what is real time diffusion ?In a physical and philosophical view we can even say it is impossible!
About Copyright and chess game there are sometime some discussions but the problem is hard to solve with questions like:Who is the author of a game?When a game is beginning to be an original creation?And maybe more seriously who would accept to pay to publish a chess game?On the otherside it could gives some money to old players.

As far as I know ,there is not (yet?)problems between the players,this is very good for us ,we can concentrate on the games and they are very interresting.

another draw today,Anand keep the lead
