	I'm playing a correspondence game, and my opponent has just played
14. d2-d4.  What's strange about that, you ask?  Well, we started off with
1. e2-e4, e7-e5, and there have been no other pawn moves between.  I wonder
if there have been many other serious games in which after Black's 13th move
there were still 14 unmoved pawns?

On a similar note, a tournament game I played against Dr. Mengarini began
with ten pawn moves.  Can anybody beat that?

White's evacuation of his [or her, see below] back rank gives Black a
forced mate in three with 2-Qg1+ 3.Kb2 a3+! 4."oops" Kxa3 Qc1*.  The
fact that this game was played 23 years ago rules out any of the

I just caught part of NBC's The Tonight Show with Jan Leno.  I
missed the introduction of the young guest, but I think they said
his name is Corey Evans?  Anyway, he is a 5-year old chessplayer
who talked with Leno about chess.  The child mentioned that both
of his parents were world-class chessplayers themselves at one
time (Is he somehow related to GM Larry Evans?)
 
Anyway, they also arranged for one of the writers to play a game
with the youngster.  They didn't show much of the game...they
occasionally went to the game (backstage) before commercial breaks
between guests.  The writer mostly played it for laughs (tieing the
kid up to his chair with ropes), playing an extra piece when he
told the kid to look away, etc.  I believe the writer said that the
youngster opened with the Evans Gambit--with which he (the writer)
was unfamiliar.

Anyone else catch this appearance?

It wasn't so much that the U.N. prohibited it, but that there was a
Presidential order explicitly prohibiting U.S. citizens from doing so.
The U.S. made their position clear before the match.  And so did Fischer.
No real surprises here.  Personally, I don't agree with Fischer playing
in Yugoslavia and I wouldn't be too disappointed to see him punished for
it (though I'm not sure if it merits 10 years in prison).

The NY Times had a funny article today (12/16), though.  They had an
"expert" claim that Bobby Fischer is a peculiar person to prosecute
and that there are arms merchants and other violators that would be
better targets for prosecution.  Perhaps there are more villianous
(sp?) individuals out there, but given how flagrant Fischer was, I
was surprised to see that this expert didn't understand the motivation
behind the indictment.

Being a Canadian, not an American, lawyer, can a lawyer out there tell us
whether the executive even has the power to "pardon" someone who has not been
tried or convicted?  I would think not, so really the discussion must have
been about whether Fischer should have been charged.

But the "minority" who says no seems to be a majority on the net...

Should further discussion be transferred to usenet.rec.games.chess.Balkans?

Nah--looks pretty normal to me.  I analyzed systems against the King's Indian
attack based on an early ...h5-h4 back in the '70s.  Black's mistake was
snatching the pawn with 14...Bxc4.  This was totally out of character with
the careful strategic aims of his buildup.  Shirazi wasn't subtle enough.
No wonder he got smunched.

In my opinion this is one of those situations where one has to rely on the 
judgement of reasonable participants to see that the move was obviously
not intended.  the reason is that it is just too difficult to write an
enforceable rule which unambiguously defines what is meant by a clearly
unintentional move.  But people know it when they see it and I bet Dunne
knew it, but simply refused to admit it.  That's one of the problems of
living in a world full of not-completely-honest beings such as us humans.

The Alekhine attack is 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Be7 5.e5 Nfd7

This is very interesting pawn sacrafice. Hellers used it to beat Bareev
a few years ago. Its reputation is rather good, although 6.Bxe7 is still
the more common move. If black accepts the pawn sac with 6.- Bxg5 7.hxg5
Qxg5, white plays 8.Nh3 Qe7 (8.- Qh6!? is a possibility) 9.Nf4 with 
excellent attacking prospects. There are different ways of declining the
gambit, like 6.- c5, 6.- a6 or 6.- h6. They all require accurate play by
black to keep the balance. I myself, having played the French more or
less regularly since 1981, have had quite some trouble with the line
lately. Has anyone got any ideas on how black should react?

1/4K is the same for provisional, but for established the K value is quartered.   
(Less change.  So a 24-point change would only be 6 points.  USCF is doing away  
with 1/4K but institution 1/2K.  This makes more sense, to me.)

About 6 months ago they were a number of articles on the net about the 
Fried Liver attack. Did anyone keep them? If so could you forward them to
me?

Thanks

Up until he gets defeated he his. The best does not imply since the beginning
of time until the end of time udefeated champion.

Oh, I get it now, you are confusing the word 'best' with the word 'perfect'.
Best implies better than every other on a scale that is used. Perfect implies
infallible. The two are NOT the same.
