   I think that incidents like the one above are unavoidable with sudden
death controls, and that therefore sudden death should not be used.  The
more common situation is that in a clearly drawn (but not insufficient
mating material) situation, the side with a minute more time tries to
win a button-pushing contest.

In the Buffalo area the strategy of running yourself low on time to make
your opponent play carelessly was called the "Thrush Gambit" . . . I can't
imagine why!

I've used it myself, once.

RETI OPENING.  W. R. Tallmadge -- Sicherman, Club Tournament, Buffalo 1976.

so far.

White has a space advantage but has trouble exploiting it.

18. 5L2 8P1 19. 7XU

A blunder.

Another blunder.

Black's pieces defend awkwardly.

Not a brilliant move, but threatens 31... 33.

31. 0 8P1 32. 7T 33

This should win, but ...

33. 8E2 3Z3

So that if 34. 85 85 30; nevertheless a weak move.

With the idea of 35... TK 36. 3Z1.

35... 5XXT2 36. 52 5XXP2 37. 3XE1

Taking advantage of the pin on the 7.

37... 5XT1 38. 3Z1 3E2

The complications after 38... 7K are bewildering.

39. 7K 84K

Of course not 39... J 40. 84K 30.

40. 7F 8E4

Cramped.  I have 22 minutes left now.

41. 7T S 42. 8A3 5XT 43. UK 85 44. 5P2

Ouch!  I have 12 minutes to work my way through this.

44... 8L4 45. K 0Z 46. 8PK 0P 47. 7H

My material advantage is vanishing.  I must give up a 7 to save the 5.

47... 7I 48. 7F 5L3

I have 3 minutes left.  White has 48, but is watching the clock and
not the board . . .

49. 7A 5K 30

And victory goes to "the second last blunder."

Golly, I think you better have your network transceiver checked for
intermittent parity errors.

Alternatively, you could send for the free SAN Kit and build a
notation translator program.  Preferably one that outputs moves that
can be read by Earthlings.

If you really want to use a wacky notation, you could try something
like the one I designed some time ago: mapping chess moves onto the
IUPAC polymer naming schema.  Play a blindfold game with a friend in
front of some chemists and watch them become confused beyond belief.

Newsgroups: rec.games.chess

Hello,
   I'm currently involved in an e-mail game with a friend, and am curious
whether I might have transposed from the Scandinavian Variation of the
Alekine to the Classical Caro-Kahn.  Here's the game so far:

1. e4 d5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. e5 Nfd7 4. d4 e6 5. f4 c5 6. dxc5 Nc6 7. Nf3 Bxc5

With 4. ... e6, I transposed to the Steinitz Variaition of French.  But my
question is:  might have I tried 2. ... dxe4 hoping to transpose to the
Classical Caro-Kahn after 3. Nxe4 Bf5 4. Ng3 Bg6 5. d4 c6.  Or does White
have a stronger responce, other than allowing the transposition to the C-K?

Thank you in advance,
James Riechel

I've been following the Fischer-Spassky story on this newsgroup for
a while now - I'm not a chess player.

My question is - Is the reappearance of Bobby Fischer going to be the
chess story of the decade? WIll he just crawl back under the proverbial
rock from whence he came once the match is over followed by a return to
'normal programming' in the chess world. If he wins agaainst Spassky,
and shows sufficient brilliancy in doing so (ie his old self) will 
there be talk of a Fischer-Kasparov match. Can Kasparov ignore Fischer
in these circumstances?

Here's a thought.  Given that FIDE doesn't recognize this match,  
Will any of these games be considered for inclusion in Informant?

Ah.  Quite a few years ago?  I think Dr. Tinsley the current world checkers
champion might dispute this with you.  There is, in fact, a tournament in
progress at this very moment between him and a program called Chinook.
Before this contest I think the record was 1 win to Tinsley and 17 draws.
In this tournament I have heard that it is one all with umpteen draws.
Checkers may be dominated by computers but it certainly isn't won.

On the subject of complexity I think there is a discussion going on in
another group on this subject at the moment (I'm sorry, I don't know which
group).  The idea is that beginners at a game are called (say) level 1.  Anyone
who can beat a level 1 player 75% of the time or more is level 2.  Anyone
who can beat the worst level 2 player 75% of the time or more is a level 3,
and so on.  The complexity of the game is given by the number of levels
between the world champion and the beginner.

Noughts and Crosses is probably a level 1.
Checkers is (I understand) about a level 3.
Chess comes out around 9 or 10.
Go is (from memory) about 40.

Bridge, Kriegspiel and other similar games can be eliminated from this
discussion because they don't have perfect information and aren't zero sum
(this is a joke).  I think bridge is interesting but I suspect a good
program ought to win at bridge before it wins at Go (just a gut feeling but
I'll try to justify it if anyone's interested).

The Daily Telegraph has the following on this topic:

[...]
The clock is digital and allows for time to be added to a player's 
allowance every time he makes his move. An alarm sounds when a player
is down to his last 15 seconds.
Each player will be given 1 hour 50 minutes at move 1 and will receive
1 extra minute per move played. At move 40 the players will receive 40
extra minutes and at move 60 another 30 and then an extra 20 minutes 
every 40 moves. Games must be finished in one session.
[...]
Spassky said it would "bring out the beauty in chess" - but that was
after it was revealed that he was to receive a proportion of Fischer's
royalties from future sales.
[...]

At another page the TElegraph claims that Spassky and Fischer have been
buddies since 1972 and that they've already met a couple of times.
That probably explains the royalties. Maybe it says something about
how serious Boris is taking this match? (There's no doubt that Bobby
will fight for his life in every game!)

Personally I think it should be fun to play tournaments with that clock.
But it definitely won't improve Blitz!

I think I'm slowly getting the hang of the French.  Here's my latest
effort.  It seems to me that White only makes one minor error, and
suddenly everything is easy for Black.  White gives away a tempo, Black
develops smoothly, and is rewarded by a superior pawn structure.  The
rest is technique.  

No, it's not really that simple - and I would greatly appreciate
knowledgable comments on the game below.  In particular, is 5. a3 really
as big a clinker as I think it is?  And, during my ultra careful
treatment of the finish, did I miss anything dreadfully obvious?

Since deciding to work on the French, my record is L,D,W,W,W against
1950-2200 competition.  I'm happy with that, I think.

Huntsville Vacation Finale     29 August 1992
Walter Schaetzle (1969) vs. Kenneth Sloan (1805)
40/1 SD/30

1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. e5 Nfd7 5. a3? c5

White's 5th has no point that I can see.  Help, please!

6. Nf3 Nc6 7. Bb5 Qb6 8. 0-0 Nxd4!

The pawn can't be held forever, but while White arranges to get it back,
Black will solve all of his opening problems and be left with superior
pawn structure.  Essentially, I think that's the idea behind the French.

9. Bxd7+ Bxd7 10. Nxd4 cxd4 
11. Ne2 Bb5 12. Re1 Bxe2 13. Rxe2 Qb5! 14. Rd2 Bc5 15. b4 Bb6
16. Bb2 0-0 17. Bxd4 Bxd4 18. Rxd4 Rac8 19. Rc1 Rc4 20. c3 Rfc8

It's over, isn't it?  The finish is exceedingly slow and methodical, but
there seems to be nothing that White can do about it.

21. Qd3 Qa4 22. Rxc4 Rxc4 23. Qf1 a6! 24. f3 Qxa3 25. Qe1 h6!

There will be no, repeat no, counterplay!

26. Kf2 d4 27. Ke2 dxc3 28. Kd3 Qxb4 29. Rb1 Rd4+ 30. Ke3 Qc5!

The White K has made a valiant attempt, but now he's a target.
He will be driven back into his hole, and toyed with.  Meanwhile,
Black's pawns march inexorably on.

31. Ke2 Rd2+ 32. Kf1 Qc4+ 33. Kg1 b5 34. Rc1 Qd4+ 35. Kf1 Qd3+

I couldn't find a flashy way to finish, and was beginning to feel
that a resignation has been in order for some time - so I took
some small pleasure in jerking the White K here and there as the 
Black Q bores in.

36. Kg1 b4 37. Rb1 Qd4+ 38. Kf1 c2 39. Rc1 Qd3+ 40. Kg1 Rd1!

Finally!  40. ... b3 would have been too cruel.

41. Rxd1 Qxd1 42. Kf2 Qxe1 43. Kxe1 and resigns 0-1

I think he was afraid I might push the a pawn...

Comments, please?  Especially corrections to my still-rudimentary
understanding of the opening.
