Have you ever watched two grandmasters go over a
game they have just played? As they test alternatives
and try out the ideas they considered during play, dozens
of entirely new games are created, some brilliant, others
containing interesting flaws, still others so wild as to defy
calculation.
This kind of analysis is usually superficial, however,
and takes into account only the most obvious possibili-
ties. It therefore often raises more questions than it
answers. But suppose you could analyze a game's might-
have-beens over a period of years, consult with top
grandmasters, including the players themselves, and
make use of all the earilier published analysis. Then you
might come very close to the truth, and in the process
you would learn a lot about chess and have a terrifically
good time besides.
That is what Jan Timman has done in his new book,
The Art of Chess Analysis, just published by R.H.M.
Press. Grandmaster Timman, whom Lubosh Kavalek
calls "one of the world's greatest chess analysts," has
chosen for analysis 24 games played between 1971 and
1979. Not just any games — as Kavalek notes in his intro-
duction, "they had to have been played by leading grand-
masters; they had to have several critical points; they
had to have no obvious mistakes; they had to be hard,
tough chess struggles with a strong tactical element."
The 24 games chosen by Timman were the most un-
compromising battles of the last decade — and the most
controversial. Why didn't Petrosian play 16... Rxg2
against Fischer in their 1971 candidates Match? Was
Fischer ever really lost in the 21st game against Spassky
in 1972? Should Ljubojevic have refused Bronstein's
incredible Rook sacrifice in the opening of their titanic
struggle in the 1973 Interzonals? Why didn't Korchnoi
win his pawn-up endgame against Karpov in 1975? Was
Ljubojevic's sacrificial attack against Anderson in 1976
merely a "trick" twenty moves deep? How did Karpov
lose the 21st game against Korchnoi in 1978? What is
the truth about the crucial Rook-and-pawn endgames in
the Timman-Spassky and Karpov-Hort encounters in
1979?
These and 16 other modern masterpieces have been
analyzed by Timman as though nothing else mattered.
Kavalek writes: "he has tried to strip every game of its
mysteries, to find the logical patterns in each player's
thinking, to show the mistakes — in other words, to come
as close as possible to the truth. Timman... does not
stop at half measures, and thus he sets an example for
other commentators and analysts."
"Only books of such magnitude and depth," concludes
Kavalek, "can explain to the chess historian of the 21st
century what we in our own time were trying to prove in
our wonderful world of chess."

 The Three Laws of Chess Publish-
ing:
I. There is no subject so small or
obscure as to be deemed unworthy of
its own book {Remember the one Bent
Larsen was going to write about the
significance of Rook pawns?}
II. No matter what the subject,
someone will buy it as long as it's in
Russian or algebraic.
III. The more subvariations you
give, the more likely it is that someone
wiU check them all out. {If you say,
"Here 23. BxP would have won," few
readers will dispute it. If you take a
page and a half to spell it out, dozens
will.}
Corollary to the Third Law: Don'
trust any opening analysis that goes
past Move 20.
The General Rule of Weekend
Tournament Disputes: There's never
an assistant tournament director
around when you need one.
The Hungry Player's Variable: The
lateness of the hour of the last round
of the day varies inversely with the
closing time of the only restaurant
near the tournament site C.orollary: If
there's a good all-night pizzeria handy,
the tournament will not permit ad-
journments.
STlLL MORE. Kipling's Rule Ap-
plied to Time Pressure: If you can keep
your head while all around you are
losing theirs, you probably don'
understand the position at all.
The Anxiety Axiom: The more you
worry about a bad move you just
played, the more litely you are to
blunder next move. {Alternatively:
Save self crit-icism for post mortems
Corollary ¹1: You always see the mate
).
you missed the second after you
punch your clock. Corollary ¹2: A
player sco'nfidence is directly propor
tional to the amount of time spent by
his opponent on his last move.
The Three Postulates of Post-Game
Analysis:
1. One man's brilliant resource is
another's cheap tactical trick
II .Nothing improves the quality of a
game you just won like a sloppy post-
mortem.
III. Never open the analysis to
kibitzers under 10, players who lost
when you won (and vice versa] or
anyone wearing a green eyeshade.
The Unwritten Law of Aj~otational
Grammer: Thou shalt not begin a writ-
ten sentence with a move.
This is one law that should be
repealed. For some reason, chess
writers cannot bring themselves to
say "14.... BxN is a doubl~dged
move," but rather "Double-edged is
14.... BxN." The result is an unending
stream of "Complicated is ..." and
"Powerful is ..." and "Risky is ...."
Clumsy is the whole convention.
And finally, something borrowed
from James Thurber, who knew the
spirit of chess, even if he didn't know
the moves:
Sixty minutes of thinking of any kind
is bound to lead to confusion and
unhappiness. II

country in the 1939 Olympiad.

season gets under way at the end of July with the
spectacular "London Evening Standard" weekend
congress and its centerpiece 1,200 pound first-prize
"National Bank of Dubai" Open, which this year took
place over July'25-27 in the West Centre Hotel, London.
This really is a weekend event of distinction. Almost
ujnique on the weekend congress circuit (at least in the
United Kingdom.), the playing conditions are usually
good; and the milling, up to around 1,000 entrants in
the various congress sections, lead you to sense an
exhilarating chess atmosphere, which stajrnps the
congress as an "event."
The tournament schedule is punishing despite the
lucrative prize fund and presence of scores of strong

I . maybe blowing his own chances, with
all its faults this congress does great
things for chess. Curiously, since its
inauguration with a record 1,000
pound first prize in 1976, the Bank of
Dubai Open has not been won outright
yet by an Englishman. True, I won that
first 1,000 pounds outright in 1976,
but I am a Scotsman, not an English-
man, and you'd better not forget it!
This year there was a seven-way tie:
Chandler, P. Littlewood, Speelman,
Ftacnik, Pavicic, Rogulj and Haik all
scored 5-1.
The circuit moves on a week or so
later to the British Championship Con-
gress, which has been. sponsored for
-the last few years (this year to the
tune of 10,000 pounds) by the London
stockbroking company Grieves on
Grant h Co. This year the Congress
was held in its best-ever venue, the

of Commonwealth nations were al-
lowed to compete, which is a deliber-
ately generous (many say overly gen-
erous) policy toward the "outsider"
Pritchett and "promising junior."
Top players (and many of them are
extremely unhappy with this treat-
ment) are "enticed" by unpublicised
appearance fees and the rather bet-
ter-than-average prize fund. The
event is an 11-round Swiss and has
been the springboard for many an un-
known into the international limelight.
Last year, Nigel Short finished in a tri-
ple tie for first along with John Nunn
and Robert Bellin. This year there
were no surprises. Nunn and Bill
Hartston finished tied for 1st with 8-3.
Speelman and Rumens followed at
7 1/2.
In late August, London is host to the
Lloyds Bank Open. This is immediate-
ly followed by the Manchester "Bene-
dictine" International in the north of
England. These two events are the
most important nine-round "open" in-
ternationals in the year, and many
aspiring young American stars have
taken part in one or both of them in a
bid to get international ratings and

stronger of the two, but this year there

however, it tends to make up in cui-

sine. Housed in a well-above-average
university dormitory, the tournament
offers an excellent variety of nutri-
-
tious and well-prepared food. In com-
parison, the Lloyds Bank is still chas-
ing decent premises and changes ho-
tels almost yearly.
Last year the light and noise were
dreadful. This year ventilation was
hopelessly inadequate. Cuisine apart,
the actual playing conditions in the
Benedictine are acceptable without
being particularly outstanding. Both
events are run on a tight budget.
On the whole, organizers in both
cases do an excellent job against the
odds. This year's Lloyds Bank was
won by Gheorghiu, Chandler and Lig-
terink with 7-2, followed by Gutman,
Lederman and Sax at 6A, while in
Manchester, joint winners were Nunn
and Sax with 7-2.

MORE RECENT ADDITION TO
the summer run of open interna-
tionals takes place in October. Last
year, a chessplaying hotelier in Rams-
gate, on the Southeast coast of En-
gland, decided to launch an autumn
international all-play-all set of tourna-
ments, which this year has turned into
an "open." Although on a much smal-
ler scale than either the Lloyds Bank
or Benedictine events, this newly
launched Ramsgate "Regency" Inter-
national is still able to provide
chances of playing for t'll3E ratings
and international norms. This year'
wim&er, 20-year-old Nigel Davies of
Liverpool, achieved an IM norm with
7-2. Hodgson and Ostermeyer also
scored IM norms with 6~12.
After Ramsgate, the run of interna-
tional opportunities finally ends. Be-
tween Ramsgate and next summer,
there is only the Hastings Challengers,
already well-known to American visi-
tors and held over the New Year peri-
od, to offer a break in the normal fare
of club and "regular" weekend tour-
nament chess. All in all, although the
number of opportunities annually is
limited and the route to international
norms is difficult, there is room for a
player to make it, and there is hope
that it will continue to expand.

I~
Usually British Swisses are 5- to
6-rounds with the first round on Fri-
day night, two or three rounds on
Saturday, and two rounds on Sunday.
But, please note, the first round usual-
ly begins between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m.
— and not later! This is very tough on
those who are coming directly from
work and chops up the day for anyone
who is travelling a considerable
distance. The round must be over by
11 p.m. for two reasons: first, the last
train, subway or bus must be caught
(for example, in London almost all
"tubes" and trains stop running by
midnight and London, being as spread
out as it is, can get very expensive if
you must rely on a taxi or private
"minicab" service). Second, the
Saturday and Sunday morning rounds
start at 9 a.m.I.As I recall, this is prac-
tically "against the law" in U.S. tour-

This position is deceptively com-

White can win. Even now, I am not
sure. Perhaps White's next move is an
error; and the winning formula lies in
the attempt to set up zugzwang with

have the final results and some of the
games from the recently completed
Malta Olympiad. As soon as possible
we'l bring you more games and
analysis from this premier event
'I=HE 24th MEN'S AM3 NINTH
j
Women's Chess Olympids took
place in Malta from Nov. 19
through De". 7, 1980, with 82 teams of
men and 43 teams of women compet-
ing, and both were wide open up to the
last rounds. The strong Russian teams
took 1st place honors in both events,
but only by the narrowest of margins.
Hungary placed 2nd in each, losing to
the Soviet Union in the men's event on
tiebreak and in the women's competi-
tion by ~/i-pt.
Third place, and only a point ahead
of the United States, went to Yugoslav-
ia. The American team, consisting of
Lev Alburt, Yasser Seirawan, Larry
Christiansen, Jim Tarjan, Nick
deFirmian and Leonid Shamkovich,
won 34 pts. out of a possible 56. A
point behind the United States was the
Czechoslovakian team in 5th place.
In the women's competition, -the
Soviets edged out the Hungarian team
33-32 V~, while the American-team fin-
ished in 15th place. International Wo-
man Master Ruth Haring had the best
score with 7~/i-4/z. One of the real
20
surprises in Malta was the fine show-
ing the Chinese women's team made
in placing 6th {after Poland, Rumania
and Germany) and ahead of Israel,
Yugoslavia,'Bulgaria and England.
The strong Russian team consisted
of World Champion Anatoly Karpov,
Lev Polugaevsky, Mikhail Tal, Ewfim
Geller, Yuri.Balashov and Gary Kas-
parov. Hur~ary fielded Lajos Por-
tisch, Is'ivan Csom, Ivan Farago, J.
Pinter, Zoltan Ribli and Gyula Sax,
while Ljubomir Ljubojevic, Borislav
Ivkov, Bojan Kurajica, Marjanovic,
Bruno Parma and Nikolic represented
Yugoslavia.
The following game, between Van
der Wiel of the Dutch team, and Soviet
GM Balashov, is, in the opinion of Ar-
nold Denker, who made the analysis,
"clearly one of the most brilliant of the
entire Olympiad."

that, if. there is a refutation, it must be
12. BQ2 PxP 13. P-N5, to be followed
by PQB4 and an eventual advance on
the Queenside. The move chosen by
White is a sharp attempt at a refuta-

I very tactfully tell her she's crazy.
This is slated to be one of the greatest
Olympiads ever — 80 countries repre-
sented by their strongest men and
women players. All her friends will be
there.
She's urumpressed. "What kind of
vacation is that for me? No painting,
no music, no museums, it's a cultural
desert. All you chessplayers ever
think of is your chess."
I'm stunned. This is not the sub-
missive lovely I had married. Some
ERA demon must have possessed her
and, if I hope to still get the Apex fare,
there is no time for exorcism. I tell her
about the great Grandmaster Vallette
and his famous Knights of St. John.
How the Turks invaded Malta over
400 years ago and, had they been suc-
cessful, the island would have become
a deserted battlefield. I point out that

history has a way of repeating itself.
"Isn't that odd," I say, "that over 400

again be a battlefield for grandmas-

My wife seems impressed. I press
my attack and tell her about the mar-
velous ruins, the wonderful climate
and the beautiful little islands nearby
that one can visit by boat. I rest my
cise.
We are getting off the plane in
Malta. My wife is talking to me again.
"Now wasn't that a much better idea
than just going to Malta?" she is say-
ing. I tell the cab driver to take us to
the Hotel Phoenicia. From there we go
to the playing hall. It is at the bottom

and the walk is invigorating. We go in-
to the playing hall. It is long (161 me-
ters} and narrow; teams are roped off
on both sides, and a small passage-
way ruris down the middle.
I meet many friends and stop to
talk. I walk on and get the feeling of
being in some mosque or other holy
place. So fever hot is the concentra-
tion, so wild eyed the gaze of the
gladiators, that here and there a
friendly smiling face is a novelty.
Everywhere bloodless faces are wit-
ness to'he build-up of tension.

lifting. All over the room players are

purification and relief after a long day
of prayer and fasting.
All the way in the back on the left I
spy Jim Tarjan going over his game
with Rubinetti. No longer is he braid-
ing his hair in short, jerky strokes. His
relief in victory is obvious. Najdorf
collars me. "I give three to one," he
moans, "that Rubinetti play like an
idiot. My daughter could have won

deFirmian has let it slip away in the

The others have already drawn, so
the match will be all tied at 2-2.

The single feat of wijnrung an admit-
tedly strong international tournament
(in this case, Frankfurt 1887) does not, ~ t'
of course, lend a great deal of validity
toward a claim of a world champion-
ship. Mackenzie's claims can be ex-
panded, however, and it must be un- r
derstood that in the embryonic, murky
years of organized chess — the 19th
century — there was no international W4
organization such as~PIUE, or even a 5
United States Chess Federation, to
help determine world or national
champions, ordain titles or organize
tournaments. (1'IDE, as we know it,
'idn't come to be the regulatory agen-
cy of world chess championships until
Alexander Alekhine died in 1946. The
present USCF came about as an amal-
gamation of the American Chess Fed-
eration and the National Chess Feder-
ation of the'United States in 1939.
There were, earlier, relatively ineffec-
tive national associations in the Unit=
ed States which helped determine na-
tional champions to a limited degree.)

Elder, Max Judd and five others. He
followed up by wijarung the Third
American Chess Congress in 1874,
again ahead of Hosmer, Judd and five
others, losing only one game in 12.
Mackenzie then briefly returned to
Europe to play in Paris 1878, where he
tied for 4th with Henry Bird, placing
behind Simon Winawer, Zukertort
and Blackburne but ahead of Anders-
sen (6th), Mason and others. Interest-
ingly, Mackenzie had plus scores
against co-winners Winawer and Zu-
kertort, winning a game arid drawing
a game against each of them in the
double round robin event. Mackenzie
was 1-1 with Blackburne but had bad
luck against the tail-enders.
Returning to America, Mackenzie
impressively won the Fifth American
Chess Congress in New York in 1880,
losing only two of 18 games. Macken-
zie actually tied for 1st with Grundy,
who was subsequently disqualified.
Traveling abroad again, Mackenzie
played in the ultra-strong Vienna 1882
tournament tying for 4th with Zuker- kenzie also played in the Bradford
tort, with whom he drew both games
in the double round robin. Steinitz and
Winawer tied for 1st, with Mason 3rd.

round robin) and beat Blackburne 2-0
but was 0-4 against Steinitz and

period, reportedly suffered from a
severe, chronic heart condition
which, aside from affecting his play,
led to his early death five years later.
Mackenzie's last four tournaments
were outstanding. He won the very
difficult Frankfurt 1887 Fifth Con-
gress of the German Chess Federa-
tion, 1 V2 pts. ahead of Blackburne and
Weiss. Other competitors included
Bardeleben, Tarrasch, Paulsen,
Schallop, Burn, Gunsberg and Zuker-
tort (who finished a sorry, dispirited
14th. Zukertort was never quite the
same after his match loss to Steinitz).
Mackenzie followed this success by
visiting his native Scotland, where he
won the 1888 national championship
in Glasgow with an unbeaten + 4 — 0
= 2 record against a mediocre field.
With the Glasgow victory, Mackenzie
had won the national championships
of the United States (three times in

land — a global, if not world, cham-

g~ EORGE HENRY MACKENZIE
~ID was born in North Kessock, Ross-
Shire, Scotland, in 1837 where he
received his education and eventually
"entered a commercial career" at age
16, after first going to France and
Ger-'any
to learn the languages. When he
turned 19 he entered the 60th Rifles,
where he served for five years and
earned the rank of lieutenant. While
.with the 60th he was sent to India
where he saw combat, and r.eturned
to Ireland where he achieved local
fame in club chess. "Discovered" by
the Rev. G.A. MacDonnell, Mackenzie
resigned his army comjmission and
journeyed to London in 1861 to initiate
a serious chess career, then headed
for the United States in 1863 to fight
for the Union side in the Civil War,
earning the rank of Captain. It w'as.
after the war's end that Mackenzie
decided to become a fulltime chess
professional.
Mackenzie next visited Europe
in'878
for the Paris tournament, then
Europe for Vienna 1882, on to London,
then back to America where he be-"
came the chess instructor at the
Man-'attan
Chess Club (and regularly com-
peted in its handicap tournaments). In
1883 and 1886, Mackenzie again
made round trip visits to Europe. Iii
1887 he played in Germany, returned
to the United States, then went on to
Englaiid in 1888 for the Bradford tour-':,
nament, then on to ScoGtland. He made'
a final trip to England in 1890 for the
Manchester event where he became
ill and returned to the United States
via Havana, Cuba.
Mackenzie died April 14, 1891, in
New York City after a lifetime of
travel to Scotlaiid, France, Germany,
India, England, Austria, and Cuba at a
time when the only way to cross the
Atlantic was a lengthy, often debilitat-
ing ocean voyage.
Mackenzie never avoided a fight
over battlefield or chessboard. While
Mackenzie may not get recognition as
one of the true world chess cham-

Now the Knight blocks off the Bish-
op, so the Rook can invade on c6, fin-
ishing off the b-pawn. With the fall of
that pawn, the game is effectively end-
ed — but it takes Black a while to real-
ize that.

The horizontals (ranks) are numbered
from 1 to 8, starting from the rank nearest
White. The verticals (files) are lettered
from "a" to "h," starting at White's left
(the Queen Rook file in descriptive nota-
tion is the a-file in algebraic) The intersec-
~
tions of the horizontals and verticals give
the individual squares their names.

Algebraic notation is a universal chess

Study the sample game and use algebraic

HERE IS A DEFINII h CONJ&(
tion between endgame studies
'~') and real
endgames. It is well
worth our time to study them l= cause
artistic endings clearly illustrate
! ideas we can use in practical play. To
,"./ demonstrate this, I will give some ex-
amples from this large field.
THE CHASE. Some endings are not
as simple as they first seem.
I
Friedl-Haida (Bruehn 1920)

The game ended in a draw after
this circulation: 1.... Kf4 2. Bd3 Ke3 3.

Reality
Before dismissing endgame studies as impractical,
consider these instructive little gems
Bishop chase, but now there is an
escape route. First, White has to take
care of that.
1. g4!! hxg4 2. f5! gxf5 3. Kc5! Ba6
4. Kb6! Bc8 5. Kc7! Be6 6. Kd6!
Perpetuum mobile. Note that 1. f5?
would not be enough: 1.... gxf5 2. Kc5
Be2! 3. Kb6 Bg4! 4. e7 f4I wins just as
above.
DRAWING CHANCES. Many draw-
ing positions exist, even when one side
is a piece down. It is good to know
them. For example:
Foldi-Dr. Gonda (Budapest 1951)
White to move
White played 1. Kc4? and lost. He
did not re~li~ed that he could get rid of
the strong passed pawn with 1. Rxg2!
Bxg2 2. Kxa4 Bd5 3. Kb4, after which
the White King gets to c1. Black can'
do anything because of the possibility
of stalemate. If he had only known the
principles illustrated by this endgame:
L.I. Kubbel (1934)
White draws
Now that we know the goal, it is not
4
angell Fantasy
too difficult to formulate a plan:
1. Bb6+ Kd7 2. Ba5! b3 3. Kd2
Bxg6 4. Kc1!
And here we are in the ideal posi-
tion. Not 4. Bc3? Bh6+ 5. Kd1 Bh5+
6. Ke1 Bc1!, when ue Black King
walks to c2. But now the position is a
draw. White just has to keep his
Bishop on the d2-h6 diagonal (there is
always one square for it] and a Bishop
trade does not help Black.
STALEMATE. When a stalemate oc-
curs, everybody smiles, except the
one who made it possible.
Pilnik-Reshevsky (U.S. Championship 1942)
White to move
Black just took a pawn at e3, but 1.
Qf2! draws because 1.... Qxf2 is
stalemate. The outcome of this end-
game by an international master also
has a familiar theme:
H. Mattison (1914)
White draws
The passed pawn on c2 looks very
strong. Sacrificing some material
won't help White because his King is

And Black must sacrifice his Rook
for the pawn.
From the second diagram, Black is
unable to hold because he doesn'
have the checking distance; only two
files now separate the Rook from the
pawn.
When considering checking dis-
tance, be aware that all pawns except
those on the a- or h-file have long and
short sides (in our first diagram, the
short side extends from the a- to the
c-file, while the long side goes from the
e- to the h-file). Furthermore, the Rook
is a long-range piece that works best
from far away.
Therefore, if you are defending and
your King is cut off from the promotion
square, try to post it on the short side
of the pawn so that the long side is
kept clear for your Rook to give
checks.
Otherwise, your Rook will not have
the checking distance and, as our se-
cond diagram illustrates, that can be
fatal.

Illustrations from OSCF members.
I.C. Durbin/1415-Pierce/unrated
(American Open 1970):
(A.} White. obviously has an ex-
cellent position with pressure along
the Q-file that cannot be neutralized.
However, he tossed it all away with
the hasty 1. PxP? Q-N4!. White re-
signed in view of the double threat of
QxP, mate, or N-R6ch, snaring the
Queen.
(B.) Granted, 1. K-R1 avoids the
threat of 1.... Q-N4; but otherwise it
has no bearing on control of the cen-
ter. After 1-.... P-N5 2. N-Q5 P-Q3,
Black frees his game since 3. B-K3 (or
3. NxN PxB! 4. N-Q5 R-Q2) 3.... NxB 4.
QxN R-Nl! holds White to a minimal
edge due to the opposite-colored Bish-
ops.
(C.) The better 1. B-B3! prepares to
meet 1.... Q-N4 with 2. KR-Q1 and also
piles up more pressure along the criti-
cal Q-file. Now, 1.... P-N5 2. N-K2! per-
manently inhibits the freeing maneu-

NxBch (A.) B-K3 (B.) P-B6 (C.) N-K2
(B.} Though 1. B-N5 looks strong ow-
.ing to the threat of 2. N-K5, this is only
an illusion. Black has just enough time
to save himself with 1.... P-QR3! 2.
NxBch (not 2. BxP B-Q6) 2.... QxN 3.
KBx&t P-N4! (better than 3.... QxB 4.
BxN QxQ 5. NxQ PxB 6. NxP QR-Nl?
7. N-Q7),-which offers some counter-
play after 3. BxNP PxB 4. QxP KR-N1
5. Q-K2 Q-N5.
{C.}The worst choice is 1. NxBch
QxN, swapping an active Knight for a
passive Bishop, relieving the
cramp'nd
allowing Black to develop his first
rank without further difficulty. When
your oppose.'ent is cramped, avoid ex-
changes unless there is something
concrete to be gained. The purpose of
each move should be to create more
problems for your enemy, not to solve
them.
III.B. Michalski/2073-Beck-
with/1742 {Dallas Chess Club October
Swiss 1980}:
(A.} To prevent 2. N-Q5, the game
continued 1.... B-K3 2. Q-Q3 N-B3 3.
N-Q5, with unclear complications.
Black finally went on to win this
King's Gambit, but not without help
from his opponent.
(B.) The sharpest continuation is 1.
... P-B6!, threatening 2.... P-B7, mate,
as well as 2.... PxN. The only way to
avert material loss is 2. N-N3 (not 2.
PxP PxP 3. N-N3 P-B7ch 4. K-K2 B-
N5ch) but, after 2.... P-B7ch 3. K-K2
P-N3 {threatening 4.... B-R3, mate),
White is hard-pressed. If 4. BxB

IV. Black to move
&l@S!
(A.) P-K3 (B.) N-K4 (C.) P-QR3
7. K-N1 QxN wins a piece. On 4. N-B5!
BxN 5. N-Q5 Q-Ql 6. PxB P-QB3, Black
gains the initiative. Examine the forc-
ing lines first.
{C.} The uninspired 1.... N-K2 in-
dicates a passive frame of mind, al-
though it seems logical to develop a
new piece and prevent N-Q5 at the
same time. But after 2. Q-Q2!, Black
cannot hold his extra f-pawn [2....
N-N3 3. P-R5}. On 2.... QN-B3 3. P-KN3
PxP 4. QxB Q-B7ch 5. K-Q1 P-N7 6.
BxP QxB 7. R-KN1 Q-B6 8. B-K3,
White is still a pawn down but
threatens K-Q2, followed by QR-KB1.
IV.A. Stevenson/1268-Bach/1507
{National Open 1980):
(A.} White is threatening 2. BxPch,
and the simplest way to prevent this is
by 1.... P-K3 2. P-KR3 B-R4 3. P-Q3,
which is how the game continued.
Black eventually won.
(B.) Not 1.... N-K4?, which loses
material to 2. NxN! BxQ 3. BxP, mate.
Seldom is punishment so swift for
moving the same piece twice in the
opening.
(C.} Likewise, 1.... P-QR3 is careless
and results in the loss of material
after 2. BxPch~ KxB 3. N-N5ch K-K1 4.
QxB. Before selecting a move, ask
yourself what your opponent is threat-
ening. Circumspection should become
a habit. Before pursuing your own
plans, make sure you have frustrated
you opponent's schemes. Whenever
you neglect development and push a
pawn that has no immediate bearing
on the center, expect disaster. 8

Tricky Endgame
Can Rook and Knight win against
Knight if there are no pawns on the
board? This ending is so rare that I
have found no example from master
play. My opponent resigned in the
following position:

But, after 82.... K-Q6 83. N-K5ch

P-N8[Q) RxQch 85. KxQ, can White
force a win? — Derek Robinson,
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Yes, White wins. The general ruleis
that, without pawns, an extra Rook or
two minor pieces win,'while a smaller
advantage is insufficient As wi.th
every chess rule, there are exceptions;
the most notable one is that two
Knights cannot mate a lone King.—
J.K.

Who Wins&
This position arose in a game I
played.
White to move
Who stands better? Can either side
win? What are the possibilities after
1. Qf6'?. In the actual game, White
played 1. Rxf7 + and, after 1.... Kg8 2.
Rg7+ Kxg7 3. Qf6+ Kh7 4. Bf5+

Guy Henderson, Colorado Springs,

Your. 1. Qf6 should win after 1....
Rh7 2. Bxc6 bxc6 (2.... Be7 3. Qf5) 3.
Qxc6, regaining the piece with an ex-
tra pawn and a very strong position.

Karpov-Miles
Pal Benko gives this position from
Karpov-Miles (Skara 1980) in his In

Chess Life (page 35):
-R-K1 B-Q2 11. P-R3 0-t)4 12. P-N4

"The ...-Bishop sacrifice on KR7 is
very interestirg: 19. BxPch KxB 20.

GM Raymond Keene, who was part of
the British team at Skara, did not even

How to Read Your Magazine Label
The first eight digits on your mailing label is your USCF ID number. Use this number in.all cor-
respondence with the USCF. Following this is your four-digit USCF postal rating, if you have one. Next
is your membership type, followed by your expiration date. If the next space contains the letters
"UNOF," this means your rating is unofficial and does not correspond to a published rating list. If a
date appears in this space, then your rating is official as of the rating list published on that date; this
means your rating is valid for use in USCF-rated tournaments. The next four-digit number is your USCF
over-the-board rating. If your rating is 0000, you have played fewer than four rated games at the time the

Life Announcements
r=ach affiliate is entitled to six tournament announcements of six lines each without charge. The
same announcement appearing twice counts as two announcements. Announcements of more than six
lines cannot be accepted under this no-charge policy.
All other announcements are accepted at $ 3 a printed line. Proofs of copy submitted by organizers
will be returned for approval, along with an invoice. The announcement will be published upon receipt
of the approved copy and payment of the fee. The announcement will be published in two issues if
received by the appropriate deadline. The organizer receives a creuit slip to cover the rating of up to 12
games per line of tournament announcement. The credit will apply only to the specific tournament an-
nounced and only if the rating report is postmarked within one week of the tournament's conclusion.
The USCF resewes the right to edit language advertising or promoting an event instead of merely an-
nouncing it.
Cancellation Penalties
Tournament organizers may not cancel events listed or advertised in Chess Life unless notice of the
cancellation is also published in the magazine. Organizers violating this guideline will be barred for
three years from listing or advertising tournaments in Chess Life. Exceptions to this policy may occur

The USCF recommends that tournament organizers,
especially new organizers, cooperate with each other to
anticipate conflicting tournaments with the help of area
clearinghouses. The submission of a Tournament Life an-
CHESS LIFE / MARCH I 98 I
 nouncement should be the last step in the process of
scheduling a tournament — after the date has been coor-
dinated with the dates of other organizers through the
clearinghouses.
The USCF National Office arranges for recognized clear-
inghouses to assist organizers to avoid conflicting tour-
naments. In return for being published in this list and be-
ing provided with Information on tournaments in their
areas, the clearinghouses undertake to notify organizers
of possible conflicting tournaments and to help organizers
schedule non-conflicting tournaments. Though the clear-
inghouses are in no way agents of the USCF nor have
binding authority to establish dates or settle conflicting
tournaments, we urge organizers to cooperate voluntarily
with the clearinghouses to avoid conflicting tournaments.
Clearinghouses are designated by the first three digits
of the ZIP code areas they serve. Proposed changes in this
inghousee
list and changes of address should be sent directly to Ex-
ecutive Director Gerard Dullea. Clearinghouses are not
listed until, we have received a signed copy of the clear-
agreement.
