A Couple of Puzzles 9


Here are a couple of chess puzzles from William Shehan, one easy and one not so easy: White to Play and Win

That was the easy one. The next one requires a few more moves: White to Play and Win (the quickest way):

Capablanca, while sitting at dinner with Alekhine told him of an old man who approached him and some other grandmasters and claimed he could beat anyone at chess within 12 moves. Capablanca

and co pooh poohed this of course so the old man challenged him to a game. Capablanca confidently sat down and after a little while was checkmated in 12 moves. He tried a different opening and the same thing happened. All of the other GMs went the same way. No matter what they tried all games ended in a 12 move defeat. "So what happened?" asked Alekhine. "Well, we killed him, of course" replied Capablanca. Submitted by William Shehan. Solutions to the puzzles on page 11.

A Missed Opportunity 10


Here is another game played by your bulletin editor in a USCF-rated tournament, but this one is from 2004 and a loss. I picked this one to share because of the lesson I learned from it – USCF masters do NOT play flawlessly all the time. They are masters, not grandmasters. I missed a great opportunity, despite my own flawed opening play, to pull off an upset. Moral: be vigilant against all opponents in all positions – you never know when you might get a gift. Unfortunately, this time I was awed by my opponent’s rating, notoriety and seeding in the tournament. April 17, 2004 Joliet Junior College Tournament Joliet, IL Round 2 board 1 White: M. Franek (Class B) Black: A. Stamnov (Master) TC G/65 - 5 second delay 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 cd 5. a4 Bf5 6. e3 e6 7. B:c4 Bb4 8. 0-0 Nbd7

Through eight moves we are in a standard Slav. According to Rybka, White’s best effort to maintain a slight edge would be 9. Nh4, and evaluates the position after 9.Qe2 as even. It also evaluates the position as even after the move I played: 9. Be3 Well, my master-level opponent had this move played against him by G. Glavinac six years earlier in Skopje, Macedonia, which Alexander won.

9. … B:e3 10. Q:e3 0-0 11. e4?! B:c3 12. b:c3 Nc5 13. Qc2

Six days earlier, on April 11, 2004 (unbeknownst to me at the time, of course), in this same position, M. Marodi tried 13. Qb1 attacking the b pawn, against J. Halldorsson at Budapest. After Black took on e4, White captured on b7 to maintain the material balance. A wild game ensued which ended in a draw. 13. … Nc:e4 14. Re1 Nd6 15. Bg5 h6 16. Bh4 Nf5 17. Re5 (Hey, I’m down a pawn against a master, so I’d better be aggressive, right?) 17. … N:h4 18. N:h4 Ng4 19. Rh5 Qf6?? A gift! Here’s my big chance……

A Missed Opportunity 11


Unfortunately, I was so concerned about my rook getting trapped that I forgot all about my loose knight on h4, and so… 20. Rc5??? Q:h4 and White resigned. Immediately after I tipped my king, my opponent pointed out to me that his 19th move was a blunder and that Black has no satisfactory reply to 20. Qe2! as Black has NO escape square for his knight. Black has nothing better than 20. … N:h2 21. K:h2 g6 22. Qe5 and both the knight and rook get away, leaving White up a knight for two pawns. Too bad, so sad.

Black insists on the Two Knight's defence, avoiding 4...Bc5 which is mainly the Italian game. Looking ahead, the story of this meeting would be that the significantly staidness of Black's position ruins the nominally passive position of the dark-squared bishop 5.05.05.05.0––––0 00 00 00 0––––0 6.Re1 0 6.Re1 0 6.Re1 0 6.Re1

Now, it is necessary to defend the a7 & c7 pawns which noticeably fetters Black's pieces 14...Bd6?! 14...Bd6?! 14...Bd6?! 14...Bd6?! Black is planning c7-c6 which will require Black to retreat his knight from the c6-square. However, this path is very slow and with the bishop on d6, this occupies the the central highway and gives him a not very stable position [Investing in 14...f6 after 15.Nh4! (Undangerous is 15.Qxd8 Bxd8; in case of 15.c3 necessary to consider the reply 15...Na5!?) 15...Nd4 16.Qh5 Kg8 17.c3 Nxb5 (not 17...Nc2 18.Red1 Nxa1 19.Rxd8 Bxd8 due to 20.Qd1 and the knight is lost) 18.cxb5 leads to a position where the advantage of the White knight over the Black bishop is obvious although Black gets to keep material equality] 15.c3 15.c3 15.c3 15.c3 Ne7 Ne7 Ne7 Ne7 Black continues to carry out his planned earlier idea of regrouping, not noticing a tactical trick 16.Qd2 Nc8 16.Qd2 Nc8 16.Qd2 Nc8 16.Qd2 Nc8

Qc8 18.Nxd6 cxd6 19.Qxd6 Nc6 20.Qd7 Rd8 definitely difficult for White to realize his pawn but White can still try] 17.Rad1 17.Rad1 17.Rad1 17.Rad1 Qe7 18.Qd5 Rb8 19.Qb7! Qe7 18.Qd5 Rb8 19.Qb7!
