| Posted by alice02 nikto.net 4/27/2006 16:13:34 Play online chess |  Subject: CT ART Ex No 1172Message: For those who have the chess programme CT ART Is the point of this exercise (1172, 20 points so should be easy!) to take the f4 bishop and E4 knight or can white avoid this? The exercise stops when black seems to have gone down 2 points. So a beginner does not really see the outcome. This is one of those strange CT exercises where the solution plays one way (captures with queen as first white move). But if you go back to the beginning of the exercise and choose play current position and play the first move it doesnt make that move - it moves the f1 rook. Can someone please help sort this out. |

Chess news: Dmitry Andreikin wins world junior title -- The 49th World Junior Chess Championship ended Monday in Chotowa, Poland. Every country was invited to send its best young chess players, born in 1990 or later. The record field of 120 players, representing 55 countries, included 20 grandmasters and 34 IMs. Russian chess grandmasters Dmitry Andreikin, age 20, and Sanan Sjugirov, 17, shared first place with scores of 10-3. On tiebreak, Andreikin wins the gold medal. Andreikin had played in four previous World Juniors, with a best result of fourth place in 2007. This year, he was rated highest at 2650 and went undefeated despite facing eight GMs. Sjugirov won the most games (eight) but suffered one upset. Four chess players tied for ... A Nimble Chess Artist -- The former U.S. chess champion Hikaru Nakamura is fast. The quicker the pace on the chess board, the more he seems to enjoy playing. His nimble skills helped him to secure a place for the next traditional Amber tournament, a blindfold and rapid chess extravaganza played every spring on the French Riviera. Competing at the NH tournament in Amsterdam, Nakamura, 22, led the Rising Stars to a 26-24 victory over the chess veterans, the Experience team, on Sunday. Another member of the winning team, the young Dutch champion Anish Giri, 16, had an identical 6-4 score as Hikaru, but only one could qualify for the Amber tournament. In the blitz playoff, Nakamura defeated Giri 2-0, ensuring ... David Howell neglects British title defence to seek tougher challenges -- England's youngest chess grandmaster David Howell, 19, made an ambitious and bold decision last month, when he opted to miss defending the British title he won in 2009. Instead Howell decided to test himself at higher levels, at three strong European chess events in two of which he was seeded near the bottom. The policy looked dubious in the early rounds of the young grandmasters invitation at Biel, Switzerland where Howell began with 1.5/6. But the Sussex teenager, who sometimes used to fade under pressure, fought back to a solid 3½/9. Then he made a strong 8½/11 total in the highly rated world rapids (30-minute games) in Mainz, Germany, losing only to Russia's elite GM Sergey Karjakin. This ... | |
