Posted by spurtus chesspeak.com 4/23/2008 00:23:25 Play online chess	Subject: stonewalll attack study material Message: can anybody point me in the direction of any stonewall attack opening material / an online guide or a chessbase database. I've been experimenting with it and it seems not as good or systematic as I expected so I'm probably not getting the move order right. Thanks, Spurtus
Posted by longbow57 chesspeak.com 4/23/2008 20:35:03 Play online chess	Stonewall Attack Message: Dear Sir,I play the Stonewall attack a lot myself, have won few games with it. I have only seen one book on Stonewall attack it put out by Chess Digest,written by GM Andrew Soltis, I saw the book for sale on www.amazon.com It was expensive I though for the book.

Posted by chessnovice chesspeak.com 4/24/2008 08:03:11 Play online chess	Andrew Solitis Message: www.amazon.com www.amazon.com (Currently unavailable, though) ——— A Match All About the Sicilian — An unusual chess match is being held in South Carolina. It pits Judit Polgar of Hungary, the strongest woman chess payer in history, who is now ranked No. 46 in the world, but once was in the top 10, against Gregory Kaidanov, a Ukrainian-born American grandmaster, who is ranked No. 261.

The third chess game, which is being played on Wednesday, and can ...

Amazon is way too expensive though. I bought my copy at a local used bookstore for about $5. ——— The f-pawn, part 2: is f5 the answer here? — Does White have a better option than moving the f-pawn? Continuing our look at the chess equivalent of route one football – the f-pawn advance... RB Well, let's see what happens when we push – 1 f5. The answer comes back faster than Manchester United on the break, not much. Black is under no compulsion to take the pawn and can instead centralise with 1…Nd4 or even 1…Qd4, or start getting the queen's rook into play with 1…Rac8, and 1…Nb4, hitting the d-pawn, would be irritating. All right, let's try to be logical. What's wrong here is that even if we could swap off pawns on the f-file, the f1-rook would remain blocked by the bishop. Let's ...

The first was the Gibtelecom Chess Festival in Gibraltar, which ran from Jan. 26 through Feb. 4. Among the world-class chess players who competed were Etienne Bacrot of France, Sergei Movsesian of Slovakia, Francisco Vallejo Pons of Spain, Michael Adams of England, and Gata Kamsky of the United States.
