UIA OPEN 2009 REVISITED

I participated in the recent UIA Open 2009. The quality of my games was not up to the best, nevertheless, I did produced some sparkling victories. Despite losing to the FM Nicholas Chan, I had played well, but only failed to deliver the final punch during the critical point. Before that, this was my best game in that tournament:-

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e6 6.g4

This is known as The Keres attack. After the game, my opponent informed me that he had not known this.

6...e5 7.Nf5?!

At home, after consulting GM John Nunn's recipe in BTS3, I discovered that 7.Bb5+ is correct

7...g6 8.g5

Onced, I used to retreat 8.Ne3? and eventually lost. This defeat cost me the title of Kolej Islam Champion (Double round robin rematch) which I had won the first series 7 round swiss earlier.

8...gxf5 9.exf5?! Bxf5

After the game, my opponent claimed that he believe, if he could defend, than he could keep the extra piece safely. He may be right, but it is difficult in practise to realise such ambition.

10.Qf3 Qd7 11.gxf6

Here, I regained the extra piece with innitiative

11... Nc612.Be3 h5

setting a trap if I proceeded with 13.0-0-0 Bg4! wins the exchange.

13.h3 Bxc2!?

My opponent took the bait.

14.Rc1 Bf5 15.Bb5 a6 16.Ba4 Be6 17.Bb6!

This keep black's armies bottled in further.

17...Rc8

18.Nd5 Bxd5 19.Qxd5 Qe6

It is difficult to imagine such a move, which is a natural attempt to ease the pressuse by offering Queens trade was a decisive blunder.

20.Rxc6!!

After this, there is no defence.

20...Kd7

The main line 20...Qxd5 loses to 21.Rxc8 double checks and mate!

21.Rxd6

Double check and mate 1-0

Good references for this opening system:-

1. Beating The Sicilian 2 and 3 - John Nunn

2. Sicilian e6 and d6 / Sicilian Scheveningen - Kasparov & Nikitin

ALHAMDULILLAH

Sifu aka Mr Abd Latif Mohamad is fully recovered and ready to be in action in this coming Saturday and Saturday event, involving the para chess players at Malacca. For details, please refer to his blog here http://sifumycatur.blogspot.com/

All Malaysian chess lovers... please pray that Mr Abd Latiff will recover fast from his mild stroke.

I received a sad news that, Mr Abdul Latiff Mohamed who had recently successully headed our Malaysian OKUs team to wrest 8 gold medals from the recent ASEAN Para games (KL09) is currently under treatment at GHKL ward 21 room 15. To those who wish to visit him, please do so in conjunction with this barakah Syawal month.

CHESS BOOKS MANIAC... just a food for thought

Have you ever had the feeling like to have as many chess books as possible? (Chess books' maniac). Since I sell chess books, I had discovered the chess players in Malaysia (may be also in the worldwide)

1. Like to buy and read chess books (This including me!.. and I also like to sell..)
2. Like to read chess books but prefers photostat copies! (Beware! There is Copyright Act in Malaysia? You can be either charged in the criminal court or sued personally in civil courts)
3. Like to read but don't like to buy (Jenis suka pinjam dan kadang-kadang buat harta sendiri)
4. Like to buy original books but never or rarely read
5. Like to buy photostat books but never / rarely read them
6. Don't like to read books at all, only likes to play chess and learn practically
7. Don't like to read nor to learn, but likes to play as he /she wishes

Another category is the attitude of the local chess players on the tournaments' buletins (which I had produced a number of them)

1. Those who like to keep their own games, and buy when seeing their own games
   
2. Those who likes to keep the record of the specific tournament, irespective they are participating or not (Jax Tham for instant had told me, he had collected National Closed Buletins since 19** (I forgot the exact year)
3. Those who collect games for teaching his students (eg. En Mazlan Harun from Malacca)
4. Those who collect any games from any tournament
5. Those who don't bother at all and hates to see their own games in the bulletin (Unfortunately, this is majority)

_________________________________________________________

"Sometimes Fischer would read chess books 12 to 14 hours a day and would memorize numerous chess games."

"On March 9, 1961, Fischer turned 18. He was living alone in a Brooklyn flat. His rent, food, and clothing bills (he was now dressing up in suit and tie) were being paid by his mother. He lived in an area of Brooklyn (Bedford-Stuyvesant district) where the homicide and general crime rate was among the highest in the city of New York. He lived in a four-room apartment with over 200 chess books, thousands of chess magazines, and an inlaid chess table he had made for him in Switzerland."

Bobby Fischer (1943-2008) By Bill Wall

Recently during the 5th Para Games (KL09) which was held in Kuala Lumpur, a controversy arised pertaining to the "touch move rule in braille chess". After checking the rule from IBCA, i have to agree with what the coach of Phillipine's claim.

Rules of Chess
These rules are to be applied as a supplement to FIDE Rules to accommodate the needs of the visually impaired in competitive games between visually impaired and sighted players, and between visually handicapped players.

Tournament directors shall have the power to adapt the following rules according to local circumstances. In competitive chess between sighted and visually handicapped players (legally blind) either player may demand the use of two boards, the sighted player using a normal board, the visually handicapped player using one specially constructed. The specially constructed board must meet the following requirements:
• At least twenty centimetres by twenty centimetres.
• The black squares slightly raised.
• A securing aperture in each square.
• Every piece provided with a peg that fits into the securing aperture.
• Pieces of Staunton design, the black pieces being specially marked.


GENERAL RULES
1. The moves shall be announced clearly, repeated by the opponent, and executed on his board. To make the announcement as clear as possible, the use of the following names are suggested instead of the corresponding letters, the algebraic notation to be used:
A~Anna B~Belia C~Ceasar D~David
E~Eva F~Felix G~Gustav H~Hector
Ranks from white to black receive the German numbers:
1~Eins 2~Zwei 3~Drei 4~Vier
5~Fnf 6~Sechs 7~Sieben 8~Acht
Castling is announced Lange Rochade (German for long castling) and Kurtze Rochade (German for short castling). The pieces bear the names: Koenig, Dame, Turm, Laeufer, Springer, Bauer. When promoting a pawn the player must announce which piece is chosen.
2. On the visually handicapped players board a piece shall be considered touched when it has been taken out of the securing aperture. 3. A move shall be considered executed when:
o In the case of capture, the captured piece has been removed from the board of the player whose turn it is to move.
o A piece is placed into a different securing aperture.
o The move has been announced.

Only then shall the opponents clock be started.
As far as points 2 and 3 are concerned the normal rules are valid for the sighted player.
4. A specially constructed chess clock for the visually handicapped shall be admissible. It shall incorporate the following features:
o A dial fitted with reinforced hands, with every five minutes marked with one dot, and every fifteen minutes by two raised dots.
o A flag that can be easily felt. Care should be taken that the flag is so arranged as to allow the player to feel the minute hand during the last five minutes of the full hour.

5. The visually handicapped player must keep score of the game in Braille, or longhand, or record the moves on a tape recorder
6. A slip of the tongue in the announcement of a move must be corrected immediately and before the clock of the opponent is started.
7. If during a game different positions arise on the two boards, they must be corrected with the assistance of the controller, and by consulting both players game scores. If the two game scores correspond with each other, the player who has written the correct move, but executed the wrong one, must adjust his position to correspond with the move on the game scores.
8. If, when such differences occur and the game scores are found to differ, the moves shall be retracted to the point where the two scores agree, and the controller shall readjust the clocks accordingly.
9. The visually handicapped player shall have the right to make use of an assistant who shall have any or all of the following duties:
o Make either players move on the board of the opponent.
o Announce the moves of both players.
o Keep the game score of the visually handicapped player and start his opponents clock (Note Rule 3.c).
o Inform the visually handicapped player, only at his request, of the number of moves completed, and the time used up by both players.
o Claim the game in cases where the time limit has been exceeded and inform the controller when the sighted player has touched one of his pieces.
o Carry out the necessary formalities in case the game is adjourned.
10. If the visually handicapped player does not make use of an assistant, the sighted player may make use of one who shall carry out the duties mentioned under points (9.a) and (9.b).

FRIENDLY MATCH: CUSTOMS DEPARTMENT vs EX -UIA'S CHESS PLAYERS

Date: 17th June 2009
Venue: Customs Quarters' Musolla's Corridor
Time: 9.30 pm

It was a sweet mini reunion between me and 4 of my former chess colleagues and students; Hanif Arkurni (now IIUM Matric Nilai lecturer), Fattah Radzali (lawyer), Rezal Che Man (teacher and also among the MSSKL trainer) and Ahmad Termizi (lawyer) and it was also a bitter gift when they trashed my current Department's players. Only I survived against my former best chess student, who happened to be quite rusty as he had retired fully from chess tournaments. He came all way long from Nilai on my invitation just to play chess and to meet old friends.

Before we draw for the colour of the 1st board, I teased Hanif,"Do you want to play Morra gambit or the Sicilian dragon?". He only smiled in his replied. As the draw result showed, Hanif choosed my let hand where I held the black pawn, which means, it will be a Sicilian dragon.

This reminds me the new DVD of Roman Dzindzichasvili which the GM claimed that its analysis had been checked by the Rybka which completely would slay the dragon, at least until someone who is also a GM refute it. I do not (yet) possess this DVD, but my friend and foe (from DBKL- our most bitter rival in the coming MAKSWIP) Mohd Zambri Mohd Shariff had seen the video and studied it.

Anyone wishes to buy this can also pre order from me with RM 120.00. However, I need the advance payment and the delivery will take place in 1-2 months (normally faster than that). I sell only the original DVD.

Let us now go straight for the full dragon slaying epic.

White: Rizal A Kamal (Customs Dept)
Black: Hanif Arkurni (Ex-UIA)
Sicilian Dragon; Yugoslav attack

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6
















The basic setting of the fearsome dreaded dragon of the Sicilian defence had been reached.
After a brief thought, I decided to go on with the normal main line

6.Be3 Bg7 7.f3 0-0 8.Qd2 Nc6

Here I stopped for a while to consider between 9.Bc4 or 9.0-0-0. I remember that Hanif's most frequent respond to 9.0-0-0 would be 9...Nxd4 10.Bxd4 Be6 11.Kb1 Qc7 etc. In this line I had something in my sleeve (related to the GM Roman's teaching) which I shall not reveal here and my opponent had never seen it before. However, I was afraid that Hanif would instead opted for 9.0-0-0 d5!? where I did not have any special thing to present. The line 10.Kb1 e5 (as in our last debate in our training a few years ago) would be nothing special for white. Theerefore:-

9.Bc4 (D)

















9...Bd7 10.0-0-0 Ne5!?

A bit of surprise. I thought Hanif would go for 10...Qa5, 11...Ne512....Rfc8 or 11...Rfc8 than only 12..Ne5. With 10...Ne5 it is possible that Hanif was aiming for the Soltis block structure, his old favourite set up which would arrise via 10...Ne5 11.Bb3 Rc8 12.h4 h5 (this is the Soltis blocking structure - see diagram)















11. Bb3 Qa5?!
Now, Hanif is mixing up with the Soltis block and Ward's set up. After thinking briefly, I decided to try to channel my opponent into a slight uncharted territory.

12.Bh6! (D)















Surprisingly, this turns out to be the vital turning point of this game when Hanif undecidedly played...

12...Rfc8

13.Nde2
This is to prevent any unpleasant exchange sacrifice on c3, at least not now.

13...Bh8?!
This is the beginning of hesitation play by Hanif. Understandable he wanted to keep the eye of dragon Bishop. After the game I suggested to him that proceeding with the Queenside play may be better. For example 13...Nc4 14.Bxc4 Rxc4 when white's is slightly tied up If white exchange the dark square Bishop 15.Bxg7 Kxg7 than 16.h4 h5 is a better Soltis block version for black as normally, white would need the dark square bishop on g5 to exchange the f6 knight in order to breach the black's King fortress beginning with g4

14. Kb1 Qa6?
After the game, Hanif himself criticised this because it loses many counterplay possibility along the 5th rank. The text move rightly avoided any tric based on Nc3-d5 but that should be simply answered with the retreat Qd8

15. h4 Be6 16.Nf4 Nc4 17.Bxc4
Slowly, black is uncovering the eye of dragon on h8, but I was fully aware of this.

17..Rxc4 18.Nxe6 fxe6 19.e5!
This minor sacrifice is the only mean to stop the uncovering of the eye of dragon and contain some venom. For example 19...dxe5 20.Qd8+ Rxd8?? 21.Rxd8+ Kf7 22 Rf8 mate

19...Rxc3
Hanif was running out of time (about his last 7 minutes), while I was having the luxurious 31 minutes!

20.Qxc3 Nd5 21.Qb3
Threatening 22.Rxd5 exd5 23.Qxd5 mate! A criss-cross mate!

21...Bxe5 22.Rhe1 Kf7
I was expecting 22...Qc6

22.f4! Bg7??
At last a blunder. Not 22..Bxf4 when Rf1 may wins a piece. The best would be the solid 22...Bf6!, and it is not clear how white could blow black's fortress.

23.Bxg7 Kxg7 24.Rxe6
Black's kingdom is collapsing rapidly.

24...Nf6 25. Rxe7+ Kh6 26.Qf7 d5 27.g4

and black resigned before losing on time

Gambiteer 1
Local bookstore normal price; RM 94.90

My Price: RM80.00 (you'll save RM 14.90)




Suggesting a repertoire for white, based on gambits lines to beat black's posibble defences systems. The repertoire is based on 1.e4... Ideal for those who wish to seek something idea which is quite sound albeit unusual, merely give the opponents as maximum surprise as possible.



Title: Najdorf Life and Games\
Local bookstore's price: RM 109.90

My offered net price : RM 90.00 (you'll save almost RM 20.00)

A collection of Najdorf's games and the stories behind them. Ideal for Najdorf's fans.

LATEST NEW BOOK IN MY STORE

Play The Grunfeld
by Yelena Dembo
Bookstore market price: RM94.90

My price : RM80.00



Grunfeld defence is a dynamic system to face the 1.d4 2.c4 . I used to employ this defence several times before returning to the solid King Indian defence. Many 1.d4 players in Malaysia would be surprised when facing this (This is not happened when I play the King Indian). However, lack of reference book made me give up this defence and returning to the King Indian. After browsing through this book, I may reconsider adding it back into my arsenal as it provides the answers for a few of my problems before.

I ALSO HAVE IN MY STORE A BOOK ON GRUENFLED, BUT FOR WHITE'S PERSPECTIVE

I had been reading many Karpov's books, and my opinion is that, Karpov's is one of the best chess teachers.

Here his expertise against the Gruenfeld is interpreted in a form of his own writing. Not even Kasparov has good scores with the Gruenfeld against Karpov.

This book's condition is very good and like a new. Despite this book was published some 20 years ago, it is still a vital reference for the white's 1.d4 2.c4 players as no such book had been made specifically for white's perspective on tackling the Gruenfeld defence.

I had almost forgotten to advertise these 2 books. These 2 books can be regarded as the final words from its most outstanding exponent, Anatoly Karpov. I had been studying Karpov's game since his classics 4 volumes: OPEN GAMES IN ACTION, SEMI OPEN GAMES IN ACTION, CLOSED GAMES IN ACTION, SEMI CLOSED GAMES IN ACTION. As usual, Karpov's explanation usually easily understood and whatever inside his mind is clearly revealed to the readers. The most notable feature is that the harmony of the pieces in various position in his games. Some may say, he is a boring player. At least that was my first impression and perception about Karpov, not until I had read his books, when I discover that, there are rather abundant of interesting features in his games. He will always be in the same class as Fischer and Kasparov.

As usual I shall present a notable game (or notable games) which in my opinion worth studying, but the game may not be found in the advertised book, instead, it will be taken from my personal database and shall be relevant with the books I advertise to highlight the need of having knowledge through reading.
