 | | Domdaniel: <Jeuss> Another *year in the Life* gone by, and what have we to show for it? Will those of us who aspire to write your <biography> pass quietly over this Korean interlude? Or see it as a pivotal moment of regrouping, reflection, and ultimately decisive action? <"By 2010, JFQ had shown her talents in so many different spheres that she had a unique collection of balls. Under the name <NN> she continued to win dazzling chess games against unsuspecting grandmasters. As <JFQ> she made the opening moves in what was to be a dazzling film career, collaborating with *Sweeny the Mad King of the Birds* to shoot the famous Franco-Hiberno-Canadian videos which would change the direction of this fledgling medium forever.She had, in fact, so many strings to her bow that it was useless for firing arrows. Yet Jess, rediscovering on her own an invention made by an anonymous Irish bard about 1600 years earlier, found that a bow with lots of strings made an excellent musical instrument. She had invented the <harp>. Her mastery of this new instrument soon saw off such Celtic new age droners as Enya, and <Quack!> by jessicafischerqueen topped the download charts for 2010. The 7" vinyl version went to #1 in Holland, Italy, Uruguay and Australia (including New Zealand). Jessica's creative peaks across multiple platforms, her success in different media, and her teaching hours in Korea left her with little time to spare - yet her birthday coincided with her elevation to the all-time numero uno kibitzing position on CG. In an unprecedented gestury, the Grammy, Oscar, Emmy, Chess Oscar, Alternative Miss Universe, and Miss Alternative Universe ceremonies were all held at the same time so that she could attend."> Heppy Birthday, my queen of limitless talents. There is no checkmate in this chessical universe for which I would sac you. Not even a smothered mate ... |

| Jan-10-10 | | notyetagm: Gelfand vs Nakamura, 2010 What a <TACTICAL TOUR DE FORCE> by Nakamura! Just check out the annotations given by Monokroussos. http://www.thechessmind.net/storage... <24...Nxe1! The first of many <<<zwischenzugs>>> leaving Black's queen en prise.25.Qxe1 [25.cxd8Q g2# ]

That is

28 ... ♕d8-d3!

So Monokroussos says Nakamura played 5(!) count'em 5 moves worthy of getting the !-symbol in a 6 move span! Wow. Naka! Naka! Naka! |

| Jan-10-10 | | notyetagm: <Domdaniel: <notyetagm> -- <OBLIGATION RESTRICTS MOBILITY!> ...
Then I read it again. It's still pretty profound.> From Weteschnik's "Understanding Chess Tactics" by Quality Chess. It's why a defender is <OVERLOADED>: the <OBLIGATION> to meet the threat to a square <RESTRICTS> the <MOBLITY> of the defending piece to squares from which it can meet the threat. It's the <PRICE YOU PAY> for being a defender: you lose some of your freedom, your <MOBILITY>, as you are tied down meeting the threat. |

| Jan-11-10 | | notyetagm: Aronian vs Kotronias, 2010 <A TALE OF TWO PINS> 49 ?
click for larger viewA *great* example about the need to be extremely careful when <LINING UP YOUR PIECES>. You can <LINE UP> your pieces, making <ALIGNMENTS>, but you must do so in a manner that your opponent *cannot* exploit. 49 ♘f4-e2  <LINES UP> with the <UNDEFENDED> White d3-queen and wins because Black *cannot* exploit the <ALIGNMENT> White e2-knight + <UNDEFENDED> White d3-queen: the Black a3-queen cannot get to the f1-pinning square. On the other hand 49 ♘f4-d5??=, which Aronian(!) actually played, <LINES UP> with the <UNDEFENDED> White d3-queen in a way that Black can *exploit* to create a <PIN AGAINST UNDEFENDED PIECES> and throws away the win: the Black a3-queen *can* get to the d6-pinning square for 49 ... ♕a3-d6!=. So instead of playing 49 ♘f4-e2 with a winning <PIN> against the <UNDEFENDED> Black a3-queen, Aronian instead played the horrible blunder 49 ♘f4-d5?? and only draws due to the <PIN> against *his* <UNDEFENDED> White d3-queen! An unbelievable blunder by Aronian.
49 ♘f4-d5?? ♕a3-d6!= <pin: d3>

6. (1.70): 49.Nf4-e2 Qa3-b2 50.Ne2xc3 Qb2xf2+[] 51.Kh2-h3 Qf2-c5 52.Qd3-d5+ This just shows what a hard game chess really is: a tactical genius like Aronian eschews the straightforward win by 49 ♘f4-e2 for the drawing 49 ♘f4-d5??=. Wow.
But there I go again, getting "too excited about simple tactics". These "simple tactics" would have gotten Aronian an extra 1/2-point in this game! :-) |

| Jan-11-10 | | Travis Bickle: Hi Jess. I seen your last video and I see what you were talking about in terms of stillness in the frames and clarity. It looks alot more polished technically but it didnt move me as much as your earlier experiments. I have a couple of interesting videos on my forum that you may want to check out if you have time. Theres two music videos by Neil Young that I think have interesting art in them. The 1st is Hippie Dream and the other is Wrecking Ball. I hope you stop by M'Lady Queen of Fischer. ; P |

| | jessicafischerqueen: Humorously, I noticed that our own <acirce> finally "drew the line" with that LUNATIC eternal adolescent <Knight 13> and deleted all of his posts from his forum. I suppose <Knight 13>'s invitation to admire <Adolf Hitler> was more than even <acirce> could bear to read in his own forum. Although I don't see why, really, given <acrice's> dedicated public support for the most heinous dictatorships on the planet. |
