World Youth Championships 2016: Round 9 (World Chess Federation)

Edit Public Technologies 02 Oct 2016

(Source. World Chess Federation). Round 9. Almost there. The 9th round became one of the most nerve-wrecking of the entire championships. Rather than clarifying the situation, it made things even more complicated. Perhaps only Alexandra Obolentseva, who leads the Girls 18 section, can start celebrating after her today's win, though chess players are very superstitious and will never celebrate prematurely ... 26.Qh3 Nf4 27.Bxf4 Bxf4 28.Ngxf5 ...

The Russians Maksim Vavulin (Open 18) and Semyon Lomasov (Open 14) are a full point ahead of their pursuers and have already played with all major rivals. The Chinese Zhu Jiner (Girls 14) is even farther ahead - 1.5 points. In three other categories nothing is clear yet ... Round 7 ... 26.Qh3 Nf4 27.Bxf4 Bxf4 28.Ngxf5 ... P. S....

Keeping it simple is the best way

Edit Deccan Herald 24 Sep 2016

Chess Checks. It is always sensible to force the exchange of pieces when you have an extra pawn or piece rather than try to finish the game with some fireworks, searching for a spectacular check-mate. However on the other hand it is better to complicate the position if you have a pawn or piece less or even an inferior-looking position. In the game which follows, White wins an exchange and has an advantageous position ... White ... 9 ... 38.h4 Nf4 ... ....

Caution the key word in exchanges

Edit Deccan Herald 03 Sep 2016

Chess Checks. Beginners generally tend to exchange the pieces at the slightest chance in the hope that these exchanges would somehow prevent their opponents from exercising checkmates. At times it may work but while exchanging bishops and knights, there are possibilities that this decision could go haywire ... White. Mikhail Kozakov (2426) – Black ... ..b5 ...

Castling only a precautionary measure

Edit Deccan Herald 20 Aug 2016

Chess Checks. Chess basics have always stressed on castling as a precautionary measure to ensure safety for the King. However if castling has been delayed or denied and a few big pieces like the queens are exchanged, it is necessary to have a big think before castling as it may not be necessary or even hasten the downfall ...

Pawn moves can play a crucial role

Edit Deccan Herald 06 Aug 2016

Chess Checks. Pawn exchanges in a game of chess result in opening and closing of certain files. It is very important to reflect and calculate which open files would benefit and which ones would be detrimental as it is these open files which allow the opponent to infiltrate with his pieces ...
