Marshall Chess Club Swiss 9/30/2007

Playing the one-day schedule, I won the following game today in a Swiss tournament at the Marshall Chess Club. Castling on move ten was a mistake that left my opponent down in material. The book line is 10...Bd6 11.hxg4 hxg4 12.Nh2 Rxh2 13.Qxg4 Rh4 14.Qf5 with a slight advantage for White.

Mount Arlington Quads 9/29/2007

Today, at Mount Arlington, I played the following draw against Boris Privman.

Round One: King's Indian Defense

Garry Kasparov for President

Of Russia!

The United States is not the only country with a presidential election in 2008. On Monday, Kasparov won a primary in Moscow to be the opposition party candidate.

The Longest Game

It took a 114-move draw, the longest game in the history of the United States Chess League, but the New Jersey Knockouts finally won their first match!

NJKO versus NY Knights

In the U.S. Chess League, tonight the New Jersey Knockouts try for their first victory of the season when they square off against the New York Knights, whose name coincidentally is the same as Robert Redford's baseball team in The Natural.

These New York Knights may not have Roy Hobbs in their lineup, but they do have the highest rated player in the USCL, grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura.

"King's Gambit" by Hoffman

On Saturday before round one at Hamilton, I had a conversation with chess blogger Atomic Patzer who highly recommends Paul Hoffman's new book King's Gambit.

By coincidence, on the same day that I posted a blog entry on Grob's Attack, Atomic Patzer read Hoffman's chapter on this opening!

Volovich is NJ State Champ

Although GM Alexander Stripunsky finished first with 5 points at the New Jersey Open earlier this month, as a resident of New York he was ineligible for the title of New Jersey state champion.

That distinction fell upon FIDE master Anatoly Volovich with 4.5 points, who won on tie-breaks over five other NJ residents.

Midway at Mexico City

Midway through the 2007 world championship chess tournament in Mexico City, Viswananthan Anand of India leads the pack of eight players by half a point.

Hamilton Swiss 9/22/2007

Earlier today, in a 6-man Swiss at Hamilton, I drew a couple of masters with the black pieces.

NJKO Lose Match

Luck ran out for the New Jersey Knockouts in week four of the U.S. Chess League.

They suffered their first defeat by a score of 1-2-1 at the hands of the Queens Pioneers, after having drawn their first three matches.

More PCG with 4.Bc4 and 5.Ng5

At his Contre Gambit Philidor blog, Frederic Fournier analyzes the position after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 f5 4.Bc4 Nc6 5.Ng5 Nh6 6.O-O Nxd4 7.c3 f4 8.Nxh7 Ng4, recommending two lines:

a) 9.cxd4 Qh4 (9...Nxh2? 10.Qh5+ +-) 10.h3 Qxh7 11.Qb3 +=;

b) 9.h3 Rxh7 10.cxd4 Qh4 11.Qb3 exd4 12.Bg8 (threatening 13.Qf7+ +/-) Ne5 13.Bxh7 Qxh7 14.Bxf4 Qxe4 15.Bxe5 dxe5 16.Nd2 (with the idea of Rae1 and Nc4) +/-.


But Black does better to omit ...Qh4 until White captures with hxg4. For example, 9.cxd4 Rxh7 10.h3 c6 11.hxg4 (11.Qb3 Nh6=) Qh4 12.f3 Be7 13.Qb3 g6 yields Black a dangerous attack.

The same position arises after 9.h3 Rxh7 10.cxd4 c6 11.hxg4 Qh4, etc.

Instead of 8...Ng4, Fritz8 prefers 8...Bg4 9.f3 Be6 10.Nd2 Bxc4 11.Nxc4 Ne2+ 12.Qxe2 Rxh7 which is slightly better for Black.

Battle of Expansion Teams

Tonight it will be a rematch between the two expansion teams, when the Queens Pioneers battle the New Jersey Knockouts in the U.S. Chess League.

Their previous match from week one ended in a 2-2 tie, as have all three matches played by the NJKO.

Ferrero - Minkov

Atlantic Chess News editor Steve Ferrero has long favored Larsen's Opening 1.b3 when playing White. Here he draws against Ari Minkov with it.

Steve Ferrero (USCF 1892) - Ari Minkov (USCF 1943), Westfield NJ Quad 9/9/2007

1.b3 d5 2.Bb2 e6 3.e3 b6 4.g3 Bb7 5.Bg2 Nf6 6.Ne2 Be7 7.d3 c5 8.c4 Nbc6 9.O-O O-O

This position is equal. Occasionally I play Larsen's Opening, but I prefer a reverse Dutch formation with pawn on f4 and knight on f3. Instead of a kingside fianchetto, I usually keep my king bishop on the f1-a6 diagonal.

10.a3 dxc4 11.dxc4 Qc7 12.Qc2 Nd7 13.Nbc3 a6 14.Ne4 Nce5 15.Nd2 Bxg2 16.Kxg2 Qc6+ 17.Qe4 Qc7

The game is still equal. Black declines the offer to exchange queens, probably because he is higher rated and wants to retain winning chances.

18.Rfd1 f5 19.Qc2 Qc6+ 20.Kg1

White should have played 20.f3.

20...Rad8 21.Nf4 g5 22.Nd3 Nxd3 23.Qxd3 Ne5 24.Qe2 Nd3?!

Black wins after 24...Rxd2! 25.Rxd2 Nf3+ 26.Kf1 Nd4!!, attacking the queen and threatening mate.

25.Bc3 Rd7 26.Nf3 g4 27.Ne5 Nxe5 28.Bxe5 Rfd8 29.Bc3 Qe4 30.Rxd7 Rxd7 31.Rd1 Qc6 32.a4 h5 33.Rxd7 Qxd7

Thanks to careless play by his opponent in an advantageous position, White has managed to equalize.

34.h4 Kf7 35.Kf1 Bf6 36.Bxf6 Kxf6 37.Qb2+ e5 38.Ke2 Qc6 39.Qd2, draw.

Guerrero Rodriguez - Zilbermintz

Lev Zilbermintz e-mails me the following Philidor Counter Gambit that he played at the Internet Chess Club against a women's international master from Mexico. He mentions that 10...Qc1+ would have won a move sooner. Instead of 10.Qa4, Zilbermintz gives 10.Qc2 d4 11.Bd2 Qxe5 with advantage to Black.


WIM Alejandra Guerrero Rodriguez (FIDE 2127) - Lev Zilbermintz (USCF 1976), ICC Simultaneous 9/10/2007

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 f5 4.dxe5 fxe4 5.Ng5 d5 6.c4 Bb4+ 7.Bd2 Qxg5 8.Bxb4 Nc6 9.Bc3 Bg4 10.Qa4 O-O-O 11.h3 Qc1+, White resigns.

Westfield Swiss 9/16/2007

There were 36 players in today's game/30 Swiss at Westfield. I finished in an 8-way tie for third place with a score of 2-0-2.

Here is my game against the highest rated opponent that I faced.

Round Four: King's Indian Defense

Sameer Mujumdar (USCF 2027) - Jim West (USCF 2203), Westfield NJ 9/16/2007

Grob's Attack

The rare Grob's Attack made an appearance last Sunday at the Westfield Quads, with a time control of game/45.

Lev Zilbermintz (USCF 1945) - Steve Ferrero (USCF 1892), Westfield NJ Quad 9/9/2007

1.g4 Nc6

Two options for Black are:

a) 1...d5 2.Bg2 c6 3.h3 h5 4.g5 h4 5.e4 dxe4 6.Nc3 Qa5 7.Nxe4 Bf5 8.Nc3 e6 9.Be4 Nd7 10.Qe2 Bb4 11.Bxf5 Qxf5 12.Ne4 O-O-O 13.a3 Bf8 14.d3 Kb8 15.Bd2 Ne7 16.Nf3 Ng6 17.O-O-O +/=, Skembris-Gheorghiu, Skopje 1984;

1...e5 2.h3 d5 3.Bg2 c6 4.d4 e4 5.c4 Bd6 6.Nc3 Ne7 7.Bg5 f6 8.Bd2 O-O 9.Qb3 Kh8 10.Rc1 Na6 11.e3 f5 =/+, Basman-Kudrin, Manchester 1981.


2.Bg2 b6 3.h3 Bb7 4.Nf3 Nd4 5.e3 Nxf3+ 6.Bxf3 Bxf3 7.Qxf3 d5 8.Nc3 e6

This position is approximately equal, but Black needs to catch up in development.

9.d3 Nf6 10.Bd2 c5 11.e4 a6 12.O-O d4 13.Ne2 e5 14.Qg3 Nd7 15.f4 Bd6 16.f5 f6

White leads in development and has the better bishop.

17.Kg2 Be7 18.h4 Rc8 19.b3 a5 20.a4 Nb8 21.Kf3 Kd7 22.Rh1 Qc7 23.g5 Rcg8 24.Rag1 Qd8

Black plays passively, as though content with a draw. Perhaps he should move his knight to c6 at some point. On the other hand, maybe White should aim for the pawn break on c3.

25.Qh3 Qf8 26.Ng3 Kd8 27.Nh5 Qe8 28.Qg4 Nd7 29.Ke2 Kc8 30.Qf3 Kc7 31.gxf6 Bxf6 32.Bg5 Qf7

Now Black plays to exchange his weaker bishop.

33.Rg2 h6 34.Bxf6 gxf6 35.Rhg1 Rxg2 36.Rxg2 Rg8

Here Black offered a draw which was declined although White has no advantage.

37.Rxg8 Qxg8 38.Qg3 Qxg3 39.Nxg3 Kd6 40.Nf1 Ke7 41.Nh2 Kf7 42.Ng4 Kg7 43.Nf2 h5

This position is dead equal and could have been agreed drawn at this point.

44.Nd1 Kf7 45.Nb2 Nb8 46.Nc4 Nd7 47.Nd6+ Ke7 48.Nc4 Kf7 49.Kd2 Ke7 50.Na3 Kd6 51.Nb5+ Kc6 52.c3 Nb8 53.Kc2 Na6 54.cxd4, draw.

This rather dull and boring example of Grob's Attack does not leave me inclined to try it anytime soon!

PCG with 4.Bc4 and 5.Ng5

At his Contre Gambit Philidor blog, Frederic Fournier thinks that Black's play needs to be improved upon after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 f5 4.Bc4 Nc6 5.Ng5 Nh6 6.O-O Nxd4 7.c3 f4 8.Nxh7 Ng4 which is what I used against David Newmuis at Cherry Hill last Saturday.


Fournier recommends 8...Ne6 as a better try. But there is nothing wrong with 8...Ng4 provided that I had followed up after 9.Nxf8 with 9...Nxh2! (10.cxd4? Nf3+! 11.Qxf3 Qh4 wins) instead of my 9...Rxh2 10.g3 Qg5.


White missed 11.cxd4!, after which Black has two choices:

(a) 11...Nxf2!? 12.Qf3 Qxg3+ 13.Qxg3 fxg3 14.Rxf2 Rxf2 15.Ne6! Bxe6 16.Bxe6 Ke7 17.Bc4 exd4 18.Nd2 Rh8 19.Nf1 with clear advantage to White;


(b) 11...Rh6! 12.Qf3 Nh2 13.Qg2 Qh5 14.Nd2 Nxf1 15.Bxf1 Kxf8 16.dxe5 dxe5 17.b4 when White's advantage is small.

FIDE World Championship

NJKO on the Ropes?

In previewing tonight's match in the U.S. Chess League between the New Jersey Knockouts and Baltimore Kingfishers, Michael Goeller of The Kenilworthian is less than optimistic about the winning chances of the NJKO.

Frank Brady Lecture

This evening at 7:30, Frank Brady will lecture on "Bobby Fischer, the Enigma: the Pride and Sorrow of Chess" at the Marshall Chess Club.

Besides being the author of Fischer's biography Profile of a Prodigy, Brady is also the club's president.

Le Gambit Fajarowicz

By searching on Google and Yahoo! for "Fajarowicz", I found this fascinating article. Here are the original and translated versions.

September Issue of "Chess Life"

Yesterday in the mail, I received my September 2007 issue of Chess Life, one of the more readable in recent memory.

There were a couple of articles commemorating the 35th anniversary of Bobby Fischer's world championship victory in 1972. Al Lawrence discusses the Fischer fallout, while Susan Polgar and Paul Truong give highlights of the Spassky-Fischer match.

Cherry Hill Swiss 9/8/2007

Only eight players participated in today's game/30 Swiss at Cherry Hill, New Jersey. But three, including myself, were masters. I finished first with a score of 4-0-1. Luckily for me, my third-round opponent was in time trouble and missed 27...Rxe4 which should have won for him.
