Hi, chess players: Come join the March/April
FTP chess parlor swiss
tournament! The event will be a four round competition,
with approximately
two weeks to complete your games. The games shouldn't
take more than 2
hours to play. In fact, most games are completed within
the first hour of
play. If you'd like to join the fun, please enter by
Saturday, feb. 26th at 6
P.M. Eastern Time. That's 2300 UTC. I'll post
pairings by Sunday, Feb.
27th. Jorge and Mike will be able to play their first
round games before
they go on vacation. I'll post rules when I post
pairings. Enjoy the games
and have fun.

Hi, Richard: Dick McStraw challenged me to a ladder game on Saturday, Feb.
19. I accepted his challenge and the game is underway. Don't know if there
is a rule against playing more than one ladder game, but, if there isn't
anything in place to prevent that from happening, I would like to challenge
David Rosenkoetter to a rematch.
Thanks.

Hi Ginny,
Unfortunately, Dick did not schedule the game via the list as required by
the rules. This rule was suggested and adopted by consensus early last
year. In the interim, Chris has made a legal challenge to Dick and that
Ladder challenge has been accepted. So you and Dick will have to either
wait until the scheduled game is completed or play your game as a friendly
game.
Dick is somewhat at a disadvantage in our group since he does not have or
use a computer. But an email list is the fundamental concept with all
freelists groups and blind-chess is no exception. Furthermore Dick's friend
John, who transfers moves via email for Dick, does not want all the list
mail cluttering up his computer so he does not receive any list messages.
This puts Dick seriously out of the loop and I do not know how to resolve
it.
Richard

Subject: [blind-chess] Spring-Summer Theme Tournament Proposal
Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 18:51:13 -0800
Hello Chessers,
The Fall-Winter Theme Tournament begins its last round March 1 and soon will
be completed. Since you will then have nothing to do, I am planning another
theme tournament to keep you busy.
I am thinking of offering another Quad format theme tournament beginning
April 1 after conclusion of the Fall-Winter Theme. I am proposing focusing
on the English Opening with three variations.
Round 1 and 4 Symmetrical ECO A30s 1. c4 c5
Round 2 and 5 Reverse Sicilian ECO A20s 1. c4 e5
Round 3 and 6 Other ECO A10s 1. c4 anything but c5 or e5.
Quad divisions will be grouped by your Elo rating on March 15 and
competition will begin April 1, 2011, the first anniversary of the
blind-chess list. Each player would play each side of each selected opening
twice, once each color this time with the same opponent. I am leaning
toward 1... Nf6 or 1... e6 for the other selection, but I am open to
suggestions from the players.
I think this would be an instructive opening for all players to study and
try out. If you would like to enter or have suggestions please post to the
list.
Richard

Subject: [blind-chess] Spring-Summer Theme Tournament Proposal
Hello Chessers,
The Fall-Winter Theme Tournament begins its last round March 1 and soon
will be completed. Since you will then have nothing to do, I am planning
another theme tournament to keep you busy.
I am thinking of offering another Quad format theme tournament beginning
April 1 after conclusion of the Fall-Winter Theme. I am proposing focusing
on the English Opening with three variations.
Round 1 and 4 Symmetrical ECO A30s 1. c4 c5
Round 2 and 5 Reverse Sicilian ECO A20s 1. c4 e5
Round 3 and 6 Other ECO A10s 1. c4 anything but c5 or e5.
Quad divisions will be grouped by your Elo rating on March 15 and
competition will begin April 1, 2011, the first anniversary of the
blind-chess list. Each player would play each side of each selected opening
twice, once each color this time with the same opponent. I am leaning
toward 1... Nf6 or 1... e6 for the other selection, but I am open to
suggestions from the players.
I think this would be an instructive opening for all players to study and
try out. If you would like to enter or have suggestions please post to the
list.
Richard

Hi, Richard: I would like to challenge Rebecca to a ladder game. It seems
that Jessica and David are busy beating up on each other, so, Rebecca and I
should have a go at another game. Thanks.
Ginny and Elijah

Good Afternoon Puzzlers,
Paul posted his analysis and solution for this problem last Sunday, but I am
just getting around to sending out the "official" answer. Take a look at
Paul's analysis and especially the Queen move on Black move 3 in an attempt
to lure White off the mate.
As usual my solution follows and even though I did not originally see the
Queen move, I shamelessly included it here.
The best move is: 1. Qxg7+
Principle:
This problem is about recognizing the Bishop-Rook mating pattern in the
corner. In fact many tactics revolve around recognizing tactticle patterns.
But here, the Queen must first remove a Pawn and force the King to g7.
1. Qxg7+ Kxg7, forced.
2. Bf6+ and the Black King has four flight squares (f8, g8, h7 or h6) none
of which will save him.
2... Kh6 is instant death with 3. Rh4#
2... Kh7 is only a bit slower with 3. Rh4+ followed by 4. Rh8#
2... Kg8 or Kf8 are also followed by
3. Rh4, remember it is still the same pattern.
Now the Black King may cry out like Henry II "Will no-one rid me of this
troublesome priest?" So the Black Queen may try with:
3... Qd8 in an attempt to distract the Rook from the mate
4. Rh8#

Hello All,
Look at the orientation of the white queen relative to the king with a pawn
separating them. Doctor Z's solution:
1. -Bxf2+
2. Kxf2 Nxe4+ (royal fork)
3. King moves. Nxg3 (Knight takes queen.)
2. Qxf2 Nd3+ (royal fork)
3. King moves. Nxf2 (Knight takes queen.)
Edward
