Subject: SEARCHING FOR/KIDS CHESS
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 93 04:27:13 GMT

Before the SEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISCHER movie is released

(when is the date?), I was wondering how representative

people here thought Fred Waitzkin's book was of chess

for young kids.  His book indicates that parents can

get totally out of control pushing their kids into chess

lessons, tournaments, etc.  Some of the parents (and

consequently their kids) approached the tournaments as

though their entire lives were on the line! It reminded

me of some Little League baseball parents!

 

If anyone is thinking about getting their young child

into tournament chess, they might consider reading this

book first!  I'm sure, if approached sensibly, chess can

be fantastic for kids...but it sounds like some people

might be going overboard.  Comments?

The second title (i.e. Defending Luzhin) seems much closer to the actual
story. Indeed, a great part of the story is about how unarmed Luzhin is
in front of the real world, and how his wife will protect him.

(Please excuse the previous post.  Parts are missing, etc.
I will try again without indenting.  If it does not work,
I hope you can still make use of whatever mess you get).

This is an interesting idea, but 4...Qd5 is almost never 
played because of the loss of time after 5 Nc3.
Unfortunately, 5...Qf5 compounds the problem by losing 
another tempo to white's eventual Bd3.  If white plays 
conservatively with 6 d4 and 7 Bd3, he gains a 
positional advantage, as in all of the following sample
variations:

(1)  6...Bd6 7 Bd3 and now (a) 7...Qe6 8 Kf2; (b) 7...Qh5
8 Ne4 ( or Qe2 first); (c) 7...Qg4 8 0-0 (or 8 Qe2 Ne7
9 Ne4 Nbc6 10 c4 Bb4 11 Kf1) with ideas like Ne4, h3
and c4.

(2) 6...Nf6 7 Bd3 (7 Bc4 is more aggressive and is 
justifiable, but Bd3 is simple for illustration) Qe6
8 Ne2 +/=.  8...Bd6 9 0-0 Nd5 10 Nf4!; 8...Nd5 9 0-0
Ne3 10 Be3 Qe3 11 Kh1; 8...Nh5 9 0-0 (threatening Nf4).

Whether a line is "refuted" is at bottom a 
comparative question.  There are other lines that are 
clearly better against the King's Gambit, including within
the 3...d5 and 4...Nf6 variation.

We go one better.  One of the prizes we award in the non-USCF
tournaments is .... a USCF membership.

This is especially effective for scholastic players.

I'll bet they would have.  I'm also surprised by many of the moves from
Timman-Short (the errors have already been pointed out, but I'll be more
specific if necessary).  I've seen both of them play much more accurately,
especially Short (or maybe I'm just biased).  At this point, I get the
feeling Fischer would give Kasparov a tougher time than either of them would, 
the way their play has been (I'm not accusing them of playing like IM's,
but both of them are capable of much better.).  Speaking of Bobby, has he 
vanished for good (again)?  Is it a fact, or just rumor, that he's working
on a book about Fischer-Spassky II?

11 Ne5 Kg8! 12 Ng6 Nbd5 13 Nh8 Kh8 14 Bd2 (with the idea 
of 0-0-0 and kingside pawn storm;  14 c4 Bb4 =/+) a5 or
Qd6 and blacks pieces and quenside attack eventually
will be stronger.  Notice that this is similar to your 
line, 11...Ke8 12 Qd3 Kf8, but now you rejected 13 Ng6
Kg8, even though it is white's move here.  So, 11...Kg8 
must be better
 
You might try to improve on 13 Nh8, but something like 
13 c3 Rh7 14 Bc2 will just result in giving up the 
valuable white-squared bishop, instead ofthe knight,
 to win the rook.  Conclusion: the line is interesting, but
not quite correct.

This has not been my experience.  I used to play lots of lunch time
speed with other experts and a master.  What I described earlier was
a common motif.  Anyone else have this experience?  The geometric
aspect is intersting--I've lost many games with pleasing geometries.

I don't think Karpov intended to 'tactically overwhelm' Larry
Christiansen, who's considered to be (my many masters I know) to
be a tactical genius.

I agree. Since this book has been recommended on this net, I'm going to
turn the flamethrower on for a bit...
     Despite the title, the book does *not* teach planning. It reccomends
three opening lines [the Stonewall, the Dragon, and Lasker's Defense to QGD].
It spends a little time describing ideal positions, and then gives several
sample games. The games give the other side rather incompetent and time-
wasting play. The authors trivialize the drawbacks of the systems [the
Dragon tends to get run over, the Stonewall has trouble with decent Q-side
counterplay by black, Lasker's is a screaming run to an even endgame].

A report today in the English press says that the Judit Polgar-Spasski
match is on, starting on 31st January in Budapest, Hungary. Judit must
now be the favourite.

The match is 12 games long, but no information on the time control to
be used.

No news of Fischer's next match. The obvious opponent must be Karpov, but
how about a match between the veteran World Champion (Fischer) and the
World Veteran Champion (Efim Geller)...

I read in one of Soltis' columns once that GM Nunn was playing at a
tournament where the boards, move numbers, etc. were shown on giant
monitors so the audience could see them.  Nunn fell into time trouble
and was going to use these monitors to see when he had reached the time
control.  Unfortunately, however, Nunn had forgotten to bring his
glasses with him and couldn't read the monitor!
