I am Frederick Rhine. The United States Chess Federation awarded me the titles of National Master (at OTB chess) in 1983, and Senior Master of Correspondence Chess in 1997. I played in the 1997 USCF Absolute Championship (open to the top 13 correspondence players who accept their invitations), scoring 6-6 (+2 =8 -2). Alex Dunne wrote in his book on the Absolute Championships, "This was Rhine's only Absolute and he held his own against the best. His two losses were against previous Absolute winners." http://bit.ly/1NB55YP On the USCF's February 2021 list of the top correspondence chess players, I am the third highest rated player, at 2411. http://www.uschess.org/component/op... The August 2020 issue of Chess Life magazine has a profile of me (for the text, see my August 1, 2020 comment on my profile).
I attended Lane Technical High School in Chicago with the late Chessgames.com co-founder Alberto A Artidiello until he moved out of Chicago. Lane's chess team won the Illinois state championship my junior and senior years, becoming the first school ever to win consecutive championships. Albert also became a master, as did my teammates Kenneth Mohr and Christopher Kus. FIDE Masters Albert Charles Chow and the late Morris Giles were also Laneites.
In July 2013, I played in my second and third regular-rated tournaments of the millennium(!), the Greater Midwest Classic and the Chicago Class (under-2200 section). I tied for second, undefeated, in both, winning $700 and $550, respectively, and brought my rating back over 2200. http://www.uschess.org/assets/msa_j... http://www.uschess.org/assets/msa_j...
I have contributed to hundreds of chess-related articles on Wikipedia under the handle Krakatoa, notably "First-move advantage in chess," http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-... "George H. D. Gossip," http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George... and "Swindle (chess)," http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_..., all of which are almost entirely written by me. The first two of those have been Today's Featured Article, the highest honor a Wikipedia article can receive, one attained by about one out of every 1,400 articles. I have received various Wikipedia awards, including the Imperial Triple Crown Jewels and the Timeless Imperial Triple Crown (which only 12 Wikipedians have received). My user page is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:K....
Eighty-two of my games are in chessgames.com's database. My favorites are F Rhine vs D Sprenkle, 1981, K Thompson vs F Rhine, 1992, and F Rhine vs A Boerkoel, 1996. The first two of these were both published with my annotations in Chess Informant (Volumes 32 and 57), and cited in the Encyclopedia of Chess Openings (Vol. B (2nd ed.) at 183 n.19, and Vol. B (3rd ed.) at 172 n.163). My 18th move (18.Nxd6!) in Rhine-Sprenkle was voted the 8th-9th most important theoretical novelty in Volume 32 of Chess Informant. That game was also cited in MCO-13 and "The Aggressive Nimzowitsch Sicilian 2...Nf6" by Eric Schiller, and occupies an entire chapter in all three editions of "Beating the Sicilian" by John Nunn. It is game 218 in "1000 TN!! The Best Theoretical Novelties" (Chess Informant, 2012).
Joel Johnson in his book "Attacking 101: Volume #005" says of my blitz game F Rhine vs NN, 2019, "White played a flawless Smith-Morra Gambit that IM Marc Esserman would have been proud of." The endgame in F Rhine vs Alex Zhao, 2019 will be included in the forthcoming book "Endgame Tactics: Move by Move" by Cyrus Lakdawala. Richard J Palliser discusses the opening of F Rhine vs S Nagle, 1997 in his book "tango!"
Commentator Mato Jelic somewhat extravagantly calls my game E Sollano vs F Rhine, 1977 "The Greatest Ever Blitz Game Played in Chicago." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl8... See also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWa...
My game F Rhine vs NN, 2010 is mentioned in the "Checkmate Patterns Course" by "CraftyRaf" and John Bartholomew on chessable.com.
I composed this study, which Pal C Benko published in "Benko's Bafflers" in Chess Life, May 2006:
White to play and draw

click for larger view
The solution is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalem... It is based on an earlier study of mine, which Benko also published in his column. Both of these compositions appear in Harold van der Heijden's endgame study database. https://www.chess.com/news/view/76-... The above study is also cited in "The Complete Chess Swindler" by David Smerdon and "Rewire Your Chess Brain: Endgame Studies and Mating Problems to Enhance Your Tactical Ability" by Cyrus Lakdawala.
I was once one of the world's best players at suicide chess (also known as "losing chess"), a chess variant where one wins by giving away all of one's pieces. http://perpetualcheck.com/antichess...
I have successfully submitted 168 puns for Game of the Day. Game Collection: Puns I submitted. User: johnlspouge has remarked, "As far as I can tell, <FSR> is churning out 'actual puns' almost as fast as I can [insert bodily function of choice]." The coveted 2013 Caissar for Best (Worst) Pun went to "Control-Ault-Delete," the pun I submitted for Fischer vs R Ault, 1959, the Game of the Day on December 19, 2012. I won the 2019 Caissar in the same category for my greatest pun ever (and IMO one of the greatest chessgames puns ever) "Late December Back in '63: What a Lady, What a Knight!," N Littlewood vs B Brinck-Claussen, 1963, the Game of the Day on December 30, 2019.
I am responsible for World Junior Championship (1957), Vidmar Memorial (1969), Carlsen - Anand World Championship Match (2014), and Game Collection: Drawing lines, among others.
I am a member of the ChessBookie Hall of Fame, having finished fourth in the Summer 2015 Leg, seventh in the Winter 2016 Championship Leg, ninth in the Winter 2017 Championship Leg, ninth in the Spring 2017 Leg, and seventh in the Summer 2017 Leg. https://denverchess.com/games/view/...

FSR: See also https://denverchess.com/games/view/...

   Mar-01-21 V Nadtochiev vs Krogius, 1962

FSR: An embarrassment of riches. My first, instantaneous, thought was 35.Nf6! h6 36.Rxh6+! gxh6 37.Qh7#, but 35.Rxh7+ Kxh7 36.Nf6+ and 37.Qh5# isn't half bad either.

   Feb-28-21 F Rhine vs NN, 2019

FSR: As I previously mentioned, 5.Ke2!! had been recommended by Tim Krabb� in his online Open Chess Diary. Here it is: https://timkr.home.xs4all.nl/chess2... (No. 381).

FSR: 17.Bxf1 followed by 18.Bc1! and, after Black's blunder 18...Ba3?, 19.Nb1!, is a striking and original conception. Alas, the implacable computer (Stockfish 12) says that White should in fact have played 17.Kxf1! a6 18.Be2 bxc6 19.Bc1 Rb8 20.Rb1 Ba3 21.Nd1 O-O 22.Nxb2 with a large ...

   Feb-28-21 V Green vs Steinitz, 1862

FSR: Talk about being totally outclassed. Brutal.

   Feb-27-21 P Hogarty vs A Krishnan, 2006

FSR: I don't understand the significance of the pun to this game.

   Feb-26-21 Joel Benjamin vs Gufeld, 1998

FSR: <chancho> Thanks. Yes, that's the one I meant.

Dec-29-20		johnlspouge: It is kind of you to comment, Frederick, because I had wondered if you would notice. I remain in complete awe of how prolifically you pun. Yes, it was my first GOTD. I am no longer a virgin :)

Jan-01-21		FSR: <johnlspouge> Congratulations! You always remember your first. :-) Believe it or not, I too once wondered how on Earth people came up with puns for chessgames. It's really not that hard. Whenever you encounter an expression, song, book title, band name, whatever, think whether you could apply it to a game. For example, you read <before it's too late>, you think <b4 it's too late> and seek out a spectacular game beginning with 1.b4. Sokolsky vs Strugatsch, 1958. You hear <I can see for miles>, you look for a nice game where someone beat Miles with 1.c4. Plaskett vs Miles, 1986. You hear <Late December back in '63, what a lady, what a night>, you look for a game from December 1963 where a queen and a knight were key players. You know that the Hastings tournaments are played in late December to early January, so you look at games from Hastings (1963/64). N Littlewood vs B Brinck-Claussen, 1963. You see the movie <Lars and the Real Girl>, you hunt for a game won by a prominent female player (one of the Polgar sisters?) against someone named Lars. L Meyer vs Zsuzsa Polgar, 1981. You notice that a player has an unusual name, say <Pehlgrim>, you think, "hmm, sounds like Pilgrim," and think of a phrase with that word. How about <Pilgrim's Progress>? You then look for a game by Pehlgrim to which you could appropriately apply that phrase. D Diederichsen vs A Pehlgrim, 1989. And so on. All that is required is to reorient your whole life to thinking of chess-related puns, and searching for appropriate games to which to apply them.

Jan-01-21		jessicafischerqueen: Season's greetings to you as well, my good man. Lawrence S Cohen

Jan-01-21		technical draw: <FSR> Thank you for the good instructions on making puns. Following your rules has anyone used this pun on a game you lost?: "Crossing the Rhine" Have a very happy 2021.

Jan-01-21		FSR: <technical draw> Happy 2021 to you as well! No one's used <Crossing the Rhine>. <Red Red Rhine> and <Fred Rhine Felled> have been used on games I lost. I submitted the latter, which I guess proves my selfless dedication to punning.

Jan-01-21		FSR: <jessicafischerqueen> Thanks for fixing the Cohen games. Weird that both L Cohens were born in 1960 (as I was). Sad that we only have one game by Lewis left. I'll try looking around for some more when I have a chance.
