Do you have experience repairing BHB-style clocks?  I have one of the
ones on the nice wooden box (hmmm - this model seems to be no longer
available through USCF) with a problem: I think the problem is that the
pivot point for the bar is not "sticky" enough.  Repeated tightening of
the screw there fixes the problem for perhaps one or two games.

One of the clocks seems to have trouble starting when it is *over*wound
- but that's easy to fix.

So...if you *really know* how to fix the pivot point (perhaps a drop of
Locktite?) please let me know before I start on destructive testing.

Pessimistically: the floor is open for recommendations.  I've used a
long string of BHB-style clocks in the past ad have been reasonably
happy.  I'm leery of battery-driven models, and absolutely detest the
LCD display abominations...(sorry, I got carried away). 

Going through the USCF catalog:

BHB: they've been around so long, they must be OK.  I'd probably go for
the "special flag".  Whatever happened to the nice wooden case, and the
plastic model with the white plastic buttons?

Jerger: is there really extra quality or durability to compensate for
the extra size and weight?

Rolland: a relatively new addition to the catalog.  The blurb hints at
good mechanical quality.  Are the clockworks plug-to-plug compatible
with BHB clockworks?  Is there any quality difference between the clear
and black cases? (I play a lot these days with kiddes who would think
the clear case was way cool)

USCF Master Quartz: big, but light.  *the dreaded battery*  Sneers from
speed demons who can beat the one-second delay.  Will it stand up to
speed hockey?

Dennis Baker lists "chess clocks" as a forbidden topic, so...send e-mail
and I'll summarize (well, I'll let you know what I buy)

I heard the stories about Reshevsky before his death, and no doubt they will
be told long after it as well.  However, let us at least have a fortnight or

More on XICS from the author--

  So far, more than 75 users have obtained a copy of xics. I hope most of
them are using it to play chess. If for some reason you have not been able
to compile or run the program, chances are that you are making some trivial
mistake; try to get help from someone who knows UNIX or X. It should not
take more than a few minutes of his/her time.

  Even though xics is meant for UNIX + X machines, in principle, one can
`translate' it to any other operating system or graphics environment. The
program is small (~800 lines) and should be easy to port to other platforms.

  In any case, I will soon remove the code from the ftp site
raj5.tn.cornell.edu. It is only a friend's machine that I have been using
and I don't want to make it a permanent repository for xics. I would like
someone to volunteer to:

  (1) make this program available by anonymous ftp or email (the uuencoded
      file xics.tar.Z is only 700 lines and should be handled easily by
      most mailers)

  (2) once (1) is taken care of, add information regarding its availability
      to the chess FAQ (and perhaps the motd on the IC servers).

Actually all the buttons are still present in the new version ( including 
castling buttons).

However something else is going wrong now which I suspect is my error 
as it worked yesterday.

In both versions the pieces are not being drawn. When the board is set
up I see a lot of blinking which would correspond normally to the pieces
being drawn but the result is always the empty square. It is as if it
tries to draw with blck on black and with white on white or maybe
after drawing each piece it refreshes each square.

It is probably something I do as things worked fine yesterday
(typical programmer's complaint :)) but what? Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Leonid.

Spassky said that Jorge Zamora could become a GM in 2 years if he had the

his 1800 rating was the result of sandbagging since he had been training with

1. c4 Nxc4, 2. Rxd5.  I don't see any refutation for black (although I
find these ASCII representations very hard on the eyes).  In case I am

If White plays 12 Nh3 it seems that Black has a promising pawn sac later
with b6 since if White takes the c pawn Black's Bb7 and subsequent Bxg2
is very strong.  I repeat: this line seems inferior to me to the main
lines.  The main lines are main (by and large) because they offer 
superior winning chances.  This line simply misplaces two pieces and
makes it easier for Black to equalize.  I don't play the Caro-Kann,
but I would be perfectly happy to play the Black side of this position
against superior players and have them try to beat me with it.

I recently bought a used book, All About Chess, by Horowitz.  On page
170 in an article titled "Caissa's Prodigies" he refers to a "stunning
masterpiece known as The Game of the Century" by thirteen year old
Bobby Fischer.  Does anyone know the game, and if so could you send
it to me or post it here?

I also have a few questions regarding the following Ruy Lopez line:
1. e4  e5, 2. Nf3  Nc6, 3. Bb5  a6, 4. Ba4  Nf6, 5. O-O  Be7, 6. Re1  b5,
7. Bb3  O-O, 8. c3  d6, 9. d4  Bg4, 10. Re3

I am playing my first correspondence game with a friend and tried this out
hoping for 10. ... Bxf3, 11. Rxf3  to see if I could get a kingside attack
going.  I can't find 10. Re3 mentioned in books.  Is it bad or just non-
optimal (it does seem to block the queen bishop), and why?  I assume
black shouldn't continue 10. ... Bxf3 (as my friend did).  How would you
expect play to continue and how would you rate each side's game?
If anyone knows of a game opening with this I'd be interested to see it.

If White isn't going to push the Pd4, he needs to protect it.  As it is,
Black can equalize fairly easily by ordinary methods, ; e.g., 10... Re8;
11. h3 Bh5; 12. Qd3 (what else?) ed; 13. cd Nb4; 14. Qe2 c5 (typical
freeing move) 15. g4 Bg6; 16. Bd2!? Nc6 and White probably has nothing
better than 17. dc dc.  Against a novice or hyperaggresive player 10. Re3
might work out well.  For example, the counterthrust ...d5 (later!) can
lead to double-edged play in which the Re3 may help in attacking Black's
kingside.

I might try it myself against a grandmaster in a simultaneous exhibition....

   Cheating means different things to different people, e.g., (i) taking
advice during a game (ii) throwing games (iii) giving advice to other people
(iv) taking back a move after taking your hand off the piece.

   I have no first-hand knowledge about Reshevsky, but (i) seems very
unlikely.  I've read in several places that Reshevsky went to the 1953
candidates tournaments without anyone to help him analyze adjourned games,
and was unusual in this (he let Euwe have extra helpers).

   I have never heard any rumors on (ii).  Bottvinik was accused of throwing
a game to Keres at the end of the 1948 championship.  He denied this, but
admitted playing prearranged draws on occasion.  As reported in a recent
chess life, Bronstein may have thrown a game in protest that he thought
Krogius was throwing a game at another table.

   I've never heard Reshevsky accused of (iii).

   (iv) In Chess Panorama, Lombardy referred to an otherwise unnamed
former US Champion as ``having the fastest hands in the game.''

   Bronstein complained in the 1953 tournament book that, during a game
with Kotov, Reshevsky asked a spectator how many moves had been made
``which is not accepted grandmaster practice.''

Here are 2 examples of ambiguous propositions and acceptance (or no):

1) About 3 years ago, one anonymous player (~2200) played against
Todorcevic (IGM ~2500), and was an exchange ahead. His position was
certainly winning, but there was still the middlegame, and he was still
afraid of what could happen. Todorcevic seems sure of himself. After one
hour of this situation and some moves, the 2200 player ask: do you play
for a win ? Then Todorcevic offered his hand and said: OK, I accept and wrote
1/2 on his sheet. The 2200 player wondered what would happen if he replied
he didn't offer a draw, but impressed by his opponent's attitude and level
thought he was obliged to draw 

2) About 2 years ago, 2 players (~2300) of approximately the same level
played a game in a turnament and reached a final. Player A said: I think
this position is draw. Player B replied: yes, I think so. But none of the
2 players proposed a draw, and they went on playing. 40 moves after, one
of them won.

Conclusion: I know only one rule about these ambiguous sentences: it is
forbidden to speak to his opponent during the game, except for proposing
a draw. Outside of that, everything is a question of social agreement 
between players.

There's the chessplayer Fischerle (German for little Fischer), and there are
some remarkable similarities with Bobby.
Mind you, this book was written in 1934, 9 years before Fischer's birth!!!

Lipreading or in writing both work quite well.  ASL would also work if you

See above for draw offers, pointing at the flag would work pretty good, too.

>Are there any other special rules for playing with the handicapped?
>(Blind, deaf, quadrapalegic (sp))

The USCF Rulebook has a whole chapter on this.  Blind players generally use a
pegged set, which they are allowed to touch.  It doesn't count as 'touch move'
until the piece is removed from its peg.  Usually the blind player has an
assistant that records the moves and makes them on a regular board for the
other player, and operates the clock.  

For other handicaps, these principles are adapted as needed, as long as the 
player is clearly able to communicate the moves the player should be able to 
play in a regular event.  (Speed events are tougher.) If the handicapped 
player has an assistant, the opponent is also permitted to have one, although 
I don't believe I've ever seen a case where this actually happened.

A deaf player doesn't need much assistance, except perhaps in communicating
draw offers and such.  (We usually try to make sure that any announcements
are also done in writing and give the deaf player(s) a copy or show them
where it is posted.)  

A Nebraska player who has cerebral palsy presents more of a challenge, he can 
only move the pieces by pushing them on a magnetic board with a stick attached 
to his head.  Although he can hear, he cannot talk, nor can he write, although 
he has a letterboard on his wheelchair he can point to and has a computerized 
synthetic voice box.  (Although it takes him a long time, he can offer a draw 
himself.)  I am usually somewhat liberal on enforcing clock rules with him, 
since he seldom is able to provide an assistant.  And operating with these 
inconveniences (his wording), he has graduated from college, written a book, 
and does free-lance journalism.

I have found most chess players fairly tolerant of handicapped players,
even to the extent of being willing to make their moves on both a regular
board and the special board of the handicapped player in the absence of
an assistant.

This starts on 4/16, and always has great chess in a variety of tournaments.
So would one of our German friends please keep us up-to-date?

Thanks,

Eric Schiller

Varnusz has recently published a new book on the so-called anti-Indian
system (though it does not cover the Trompovsky attack).  Some of us
might better know it as the Torre Attack.  Be that as it may, I am
interested in how good a book it is.  I know next to nothing about the
system, though I do know that Eric Schiller has recently published a
book on it.  Does anyone with any knowledge of the system in question
want to do a short review?
