Plus I have a quick announcement. I have talked to Garvin and I'm in the running to consider adding a 2nd tournament to the WBCCC. Probably called the WBCCC Inv. -> Invitational. This will be more of the standard style of blitz tournament. Something like 14d+1d per move, I don't want to set exact time control yet, I will probably open this discussion up after WBCCC 1 is over. What details I will give is this. What over the prize is next year will split with the other tournament plus a plaque to the winner. My hope is to have another drawing card for the WBCCC and I know this will probably bring more top players in. Anyway here are the links for you to follow the games you wish to watch this round. As always we will start at the top boards and work are way down. This time I will just do both of each board at the same time. B=Board B1- CumnorChessClub (Kevin D.

Best wishes to all and enjoy this next year! Jimmy Jimmy Huggins (2011-04-29 18:36:20) WBCCC-New stuff and Round 2 Update B1-CumnorChessClub (Kevin E.Plant) vs Moz http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21180 Kevin makes an interesting choice here with 2.a4!? vs the Silicon Defense. Not exactly sure what he wanted out of the opening. I can only guess he wanted to mix it up here. Anyway, black equalizes fairly quickly and is better. But after 18.a5! He finds the best way to equalize and both agree to a draw. B2-jitan vs Loboestepario (Gino Figilo) http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21181- The somewhat unknown Jitan has had a good tournament. And is given his ICCF SM opponent all he can handle. In a game that is still going. Gino is down a pawn, but it appears to be a draw and I would guess the game is about to finish. This was an interesting approach by Gino who gets in b5 and h5 very early in this game. And Jitan plays the most naturally looking sac. 13.Nbxd5! it looked like for a long time Gino was in trouble, but he has found enough resources IMO. A well played game by both players. B3-Fulcrum2000 vs Mark Eldridge http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21182 This was a nice French game to watch. The novelty move was ..11.Na5, OTB I would like white in this game and I had a feeling that white possibly could have risked an attack, but this game came down to endgame play and White was able to outplay black in the end. B4-Kamesh vs Stephanie http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21183- In my opinion this is the most important game the round and it is reaching its fianlly stages. I believe Stephanie to be one of the top players in this event. She has been doing well, but Kam has played the near perfect opening and got her in trouble. If you remember my previous post you remember I talk about Stephanie was in time trouble. Which has not help the cause. The one move I enjoyed the most so far in this game was 36.Ra5!, this was a nice exchange sac. And its given Kam nice pass pawns on the Queen-side. I would guess this game will be over soon. It has been a nice game to watch. B5-David Evans vs National12 http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21184 A battle of the English Countryman here. :) This was the Open Defense of the Ruy. Form the comments I got, it seems that the opening was played about as perfectly as you can get. David posed some problems to Paul(National12), but it ends in a fairly easy draw. One finally note ..10.d4 IMO is a very difficult move to beat. B6-ppipper vs jitan http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21168- This is one of the finally 4 games still playing. What looks like to be a draw here. The white black has been dancing for a few moves now, but blacks back rank is weak. That equals a drawish game. :) This game started out form B90 and so has a ton of theory. B7-indrajit_sg vs Wayne Lowrance http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21186 I fairly quiet B90 game. I don't think white got much out of the opening. Well played by Wayne here. B8-tomski1981 vs Uly http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21187 A battle of good friends here. IMO I thought white played the this Queens pawn opening passively. And so we had an early draw at move 26. B9-Sebastian Boehme vs Schachmatt (Matt O'Brein) http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21188- This is one of the 4 last games. And I have to say its been a good game. We had an interesting Sicilian position. I had thought black was in trouble. But after he tripled up on the d-file. Then got massive exchanges. He looks like its headed toward a draw. B10-Weirwindle vs donkasand http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21189- This was a nice positional Sicilian game. Although it ends in a draw. Its a must see game! Watching the drawing combo at the end is very beautiful. It starts with ..27.e4! and you can watch it form there. B11-Ruben Comes vs Balabachi(William Fuller) http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21190 Ruben opened up this rep with 3.h3!? and we ended up with a closed type of Sicilian. But his opponent stayed strong. Though out the game. Even if it looked like Ruben had some pressure. In the finally position. B12-ralunger (Ramil Germanes) vs keoki010 (George Clement) http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21191- This game saw the Exchange variation in the Queen's gambit. It has a high rate rate. But to Ramil credit he manage to give George a couple of weak pawns in the endgame, but not enough for any real advantage. B13-Omparakash vs natmaku http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21193- I would have hoped for more in this game. As I'm a lover of the 6.Bc4 (Sozin) Sicilian. After 14.e5!? this forces unneeded exchanges. After which, the game looked like a draw. And that is how it ended. B14-deka vs Scott Nichols http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21194 Usually the Exchange Slav is pretty drawish. And this game was no different. But both players did try to mount some kind of advance. Both had good posts on each others side of the board. But a drawish opening is a drawish opening. B15-TheHug (Jimmy Huggins) vs parmentd (Daniel Parmet) http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21195 I tried my luck in an opening that was not something with e4. And it didn't go as well I had hoped, Daniel was able to get a equal position fairly quickly. In my try at making new theory in a very uncommon line vs the King's Indian Defense. And finally we have this last game. B16-SpiderG (Peter Marriott) vs Banned for Life http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21196 This would have promised to be a nice Larson Attack game. By alas Peter timed out in this game as well. I would have loved to seen this attacking game with both sides castled on opposite sides. Well that would do it for my reports for this round. This was a great round, and the next promises to be great as well. I will post info for the next round after the last game is over with. Any feedback is welcome! Jimmy Huggins (2011-04-29 14:45:26) WBCCC-New stuff and Round 2 Update The last round was very exciting! And this round has had some great games as well. To speak of there is just 4 games left. Here is the report of the most important games this round. Starting at the top boards. We have have... B1-Loboestepario (Gino Figilo) vs CumnorChessClub (Kevin E.Plant) http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21163- This game followed a Catalan. Gino makes ambitious choice to go with 5.Nbd2! I gave this move a ! Not because of its theoretical standing. But because it will lead to a position were white will give up a whole pawn for rapid development. Never the less, black is equal to the task and managers to hold on to the pawn for most of the game and keep the game balanced. With my human eyes, I thought for sure white had an advantage! After move 20.Be4, It looks like white has 2 racking bishops. While black has one black locked in! But in depth analysis shows, that black can hold on. And shows great defensive technique. Down the stretch. Well played by Gino and Kevin. On of my favorite games to follow. B3-Mark Eldridge vs David Evans http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21165- David has gotten tested in both his black games in this tournament. And this game was no different. We had another B90 line in this game. And ...8.h5 was used. This is becoming a common line in this tournament. Mark's treatment on the white side was great! I think his future opponents will think twice before trying this line again. At move 22, the game reaches the sharpest point. After move 22.fxe5! I thought that Mark had a chance vs David. But David founds some good moves to exchanges pieces and hold for a draw. The best of which was the combo of ...33.Rf3 and ...36.Rxg3! This was a nice find by him. Great job to David and Mark! I look forward to seeing both these players again. B4-Stephanie vs Fulcrum2000 http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21166- I would normally just post FICGS member games here. But this maybe one of the top 2 or 3 most important games of this round. In what turns out to be the most exciting game of the round IMO. White has shown that they are quite good in the opening phase. At move 18 they choose 18.b3 which was suggested as being the novelty move. White gets a very strong game and after a king tour to capture the pawn. It looked like a win for sure!, but it seems a mistake was made at move 38. Instead of 38.Qc1!? the move 38.Qe8! seems to be a near winner. I thoughts on why this move was missed is because, White was in time trouble in both games. I have to believe this was a favor. As we speak Stephanie is close to defeat in the other game that I will talk about shortly. I would watch her for the reminded of the tournament. I think they will learn form this experience and be even stronger going future. Well done by both players. B5-NATIONAL12 vs Kamesh http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21167 Two of my good friends battling here. This was a B90 battle. The novelty move was the straight forward looking 27.h4, but after some exchanges. White has to settled for equality. A good match to follow, the one other note made was this was a line pioneered by Eros Riccio. B7-Wayne Lowrance vs tomski1981 http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21169- Wayne plays a good line vs the french vs tomski. In fact by the database expert, it was in a 100% win line!! But after the queens come off the board. It burns out to a quiet draw. Wayne has had good opening results, but has yet to get in the winners column. I have faith that Wayne will win a game very soon. Good game to both in this one. B8-Uly vs indrajit_sg http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21170- This was a nice game to follow. A french defense was chosen. The point in which it gets interest is the choice to play 19.bxc3!? Which leads to 21.Nh6+!? I loves this sires of moves! 27.Rh3! was also a good move here. But its seems black has just enough resources to hold the balance. ..54.Bxg6! was a good finally touch. Well played by both players. B9-Balabachi(William Fuller) vs Sebastian Boehme http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21171 What was talked about as a drawish Ruy position. I found to be quite a game with all the early fireworks. I also liked the material imbalance in this game. Sebi has a rep of being very difficult to beat with the black pieces. This helps when you have the Ruy and the Posion pawn line of the Sicilian. As two of your best weapons. ;) B10-Schachmatt (Matt O'Brein) vs Weirwindle http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21172- This was an interesting Richter-Rauzer game. 15.Qf4 was the novelty move, Form there it got crazy. 21.Nb3 seems to invite a pawn race. Which in the end white loses. This was a tough game for white. I think he should have been able to hold it. But it was still a good game to follow. B11-donkasand vs Ruben Comes http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21173 This was a nice positional game by Mike (Donkasand), This was a 6.h3 Sicilian. And we get the usually good defense here. ..7.h5 White gets great positional pressure for the whole game and even gets a pawn, but Ruben wholes for a draw. B12-natmaku vs ralunger (Ramil Germanes) http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21174 This game was a Petroff with 5.Nc3. This kind of move gives white rapid development. Its seems black equalize pretty quickly. And on move 21 a draw was agreed on. B13-Scott Nichols vs Omprakash http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21175 This was an interesting King's Gambit game. I think Scott didn't study his opponents rep. :) The King's Gambit is Om's specialty. So this was an easy draw for black. B14-Keoki010 (George Clement) vs deka http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21176- In this game black returns to his pet line of the Sicilian with 2.a6(Which he played in the last round) I believe this is called the O'Kelly variation. This time around he goes for ..7.Qb6 which looks a little better than ..7.Bb5!? A draw probably should have been possible, but George was able to grid out a win. Well played by both players. B15-parmetd (Daniel Parmet)vs SpiderG (Peter Marriott) http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21177 This was a King Indian by black. And white does a good job of out playing his opponent in this game. Unfortunately it seems Peter has gotten busy in his life. This game was decide by time. B16-Banned for Life vs TheHug(Jimmy Huggins) http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?tid=21178 I face off against Alan who has the white pieces. And is consider to be one of the best players when playing 1.b3. It was a difficult game for me as I decide before hand to play a dangerous line. Needless to say I lose this game after a few small mistakes on my part. I am founding that all the players in the WBCCC are good, I maybe better off being a commentator lol, but no one would have that. This was the first set of games.

My name at rybka forum is "ralunger". Hope you will include me in the tournament. Thanks! Don Groves (2010-10-12 09:35:00) Road to Grandmaster I'm not a naysayer but I do think it takes a certain inborn talent to excel at Chess, quite similar to Math in that respect. Both subjects require the ability to both analyze and generalize at a high level. If a 21-year-old has those abilities and puts in the work, s/he could become a grandmaster. The biggest problem I see is that s/he is competing against a great many with equal skills who started a lot younger... Peter Unger (2010-07-06 17:40:19) XFCC Play In Aquarium 4 you can play corr-games with the XFCC-protocoll. Will it be on FICGS-server in the near future? Don Groves (2010-05-08 09:12:52) How many games at once? Back when FICGS was younger, I believe there was a limit of 50 games at one time. I think this limit should be reinstated. A player may think he or she can handle 100 or more games but what about the opponents who then must wait up to a year for a game to finish? I still feel there should be a rule that mandates a shorter maximum time between moves (no more than 7 days) but limiting the number of simultaneous games could have the same effect, that of speeding up games to a reasonable duration. If a player cannot make at least one move per week in any game, then they don't have enough time for the number of games they are playing. Peter Unger (2010-02-18 16:27:33) implementation of the XFCC protocol Is FICGS compatible with the XFCC protocol?

Please note first, that the engine names behind some of the nicks in the crosstable do not necessarily mean that that participant played as pure engine (it's just an irrelevant effect of the server software somehow, decided by whether the participant had an engine uploaded during registration). In fact, only two of those 10 who made it to the final (after the playoffs Saturday) are playing as pure engines. All the rest played as centaurs, including Cato the Younger. This was also the case in the 4th Freestyle tournament: Only two pure engines made it to the final. However, the pure engines surely made up more than 20% of the starting fields. What is more, these engines are usually operated by engine-chess freaks who have very strong hardware (Hercules01, who made it to the final after the play-offs, is allegedly running a 16-core system). So my conclusion is: Centaurs perform significantly better than pure engines still. Even at this relatively short time control. In other words: The human aspect is very much alive and kicking in this kind of chess :-) I can only recommend interested people to try it out next time. It really is quite a bit of fun! PS. I was lucky to qualify for the final, playing with nick "Flying Saucers". Also in the final is Corr. GM Arno Nickel (=Ciron) and FIDE GM Yuri Solodovnichenko (2585) (=Engineer). Several finalists have not yet revealed their identities :-) Elmer Valderrama (2007-02-23 22:02:35) Oh my.. *in the same vein* I'd say Kasparov would score 4.5 given that he's younger than Fischer but equally out-of-form and with a bad record of blunders in his last couple of years..:P -somehow Kasparov's die-hards think that he retired in the 80's, lol, ...and that this year is 1987 :) Nicola Lupinacci (2007-02-21 18:51:49) standing suggestion the thing i try to explain is the follow: if you are the last player that enter in a tournament, your name in the standing is the last, also if you win or for example arrive third. Now the question is: is possible to see the tournament standing with the leader in the first position of the standing, the player who arrived second in the second place of the standing, etc etc? for example, if you see FICGS__CHESS__CLASS_C__000001, the winner is in the last position of the standing. Is possible to see this standing with this order?: Unger 5.5/6 Muller 4.5/6 Holes 4/6 Ghisi 3/6 Baron 2/6 Guralivu 1/6 Rattay 1/6 sorry for my bad english and thanks thibault for your time :-) Thibault de Vassal (2007-02-07 18:26:15) Illya Nyzhnyk Younger and younger... The new chess phenomenon seems to be this young boy, Illya Nyzhnyk (birthdate 27.09.1996). He just won Moscow open B (8,5/9 - perf 2633 !) Impresssive, what do you think ? http://www.dril-chess.com/ Simultaneous video http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DbGwDRgVOhZs Article from Scacchierando http://www.scacchierando.net/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=890 Lionel Vidal (2007-01-21 17:49:41) Go and Chess About your point number 3... A chess world champion could very well note its moves before playing and yet be mated in one move :-) In Go pro-matches, the moves are usually recorded during play by another (younger :-) pro, who has also to deal with time keeping: it makes sense not to disturb gods at play by basic housekeepings :-). I remember an article on the WEB counting the numbers of obvious blunders in go pro-games, and it was *very* low compared to chess. Concerning your point 2, it is not quite true AFAIK: most top pros run a school of younger pros or wanabe pros who play and analyse numerous games on the Master supervision (He does rarely play with students and then it is a great honour!). So a master does not not really analyse alone, but discuss many ideas with others. Concerning your point 4, I think that increasing the number of games would change the playing calendar too much and a pro cannot play many more games by year without consequences on his results... even at my very low level, I find a go game *much* more tiring than a chess one (here I mean a face to face game, not correspondence or server go... something I still don't manage to get used to :-) BTW, I also find that recovering from a loss in go is much more difficult (again I mean face to face Go) than in chess: maybe because of a higher involment, maybe it is just me. What do others players think? Another point is that a pro is paid by the federation (a fixed amount depending on its rank, not linked with his gains in tournaments that are much more important), and have to give some services to the community: lessons, conferences, teaching games... and so on... and this is more true for the lowest ranked pros!
