| Mar-07-14 | | waustad: The two Norewgian GMs drew, but it was fought down to bare kings. |
|
| Mar-07-14 | | waustad: Tomas Oral held on in a very long game against Emil Sutovsky today. The latter kept on trying to win with a rook against a bishop and an advanced central pawn. |
|
| Mar-07-14 | | Octavia: thanks <Troller> for the link. Could you tell me how to do chess puzzle diagrams? |

 | | perfidious: <Octavia> Simple stuff once you learn; herein I will produce an ending with very little material remaining: First step is to count from Black's side of the board, and the number <must> always come to eight, viz, 8/xxx
denotes that Black's first rank is empty, with / the end of a rank. Black pieces are always in lower case, while White's are upper case. Now we shall visit an oft-drawn ending, that of R+BP+RP vs R. When using Forsythe, remember to use the hyphens contained with slashes. 8-6k1-r7-8-7P-5PK1-4R3-8

| Mar-07-14 | | Octavia: thanks perfidious! got it!
its black to move - any ideas? |
|
| Mar-07-14 | | PhilFeeley: <Octavia> Take the knight, then queen a pawn with f4. It should be pretty easy. (are there white pieces missing?) |
|
| Mar-08-14 | | nok: In other news, someone's strategy seems to be catching on: http://www.eicc2014.am/uploads/file... |
|
| Mar-08-14 | | Octavia: sorry i got it wrong. There's a wh r on d8 :( |
|
| Mar-08-14 | | Strongest Force: I see 6-time US champ Walter Browne still has it at age 65. He is playing in the other tournament: Reykjavic. In rd 6 Grandelius plays Browne's favorite defense against him: Naijdorf. |

| Mar-08-14 | | RedShield: <European chess championship hacked heavily. What is going on? > http://voiceofrussia.com/us/2014_03... |
|
| Mar-08-14 | | Octavia: why is a Euro tournament held in Asia? |
|
| Mar-08-14 | | RedShield: Caucasia. Armenia, being historically a Christian country, is considered as being on the boundary of Christendom. In Belloc's phrase: <Europe is the faith and the faith is Europe>. |
|
| Mar-08-14 | | nok: Used to be. Now the faith's been outsourced to Americas and Filipinos. |
|
| Mar-08-14 | | Octavia: <the faith's been outsourced to Americas and Filipinos> the faith meaning Catholic - it's ridiculous anyway |
|
| Mar-08-14 | | RedShield: It's ridiculous that you can't read a map properly. |
|
| Mar-09-14 | | Billy Vaughan: "Europe" has more to do with political and cultural connections than with geography. |
|
| Mar-10-14 | | PhilFeeley: <BV> Yes. That's why a lot of Israeli players compete in the EICC. |
|
| Mar-10-14 | | david ne: PhilFeeley, I agree, come on CG wake up and correct! |

Not sure all games are working; that would mean Sjugirov has spent more than 15 minutes as Black here:

|
| Mar-10-14 | | waustad: If J L Hammer wants to get into the next World Cup, he'll need to pick it up a bit. At this point he is dead last in tiebreaks at 5 points, so he can't allow more draws with lower rated players. |
|
| Mar-10-14 | | Jason Frost: <PhilFeeley> Unless something has changed from previous event, my guess the following rule still applies <The European Individual Chess Championship is open to all players representing Chess Federations which comprise the European Chess Union (FIDE zones 1.1 to 1.10) regardless of their title or rating.> (http://www.eicc2013.pl/index.php/in...) So according to official FIDE regulations Armenia is part of the European Chess Union, as is Azerbaijan, Turkey, Israel, etc... (http://www.fide.com/fide/handbook.h...) |
