Jun-13-09 technical draw: My first "advise" is to learn to spell "advice".

"Life is like a chess game. Every decision, just like every move, has consequences. Therefore, decide wisely!" ― Susan Polgar

"When people insult and disrespect you, the best revenge is to continue to win, and win, and win…." ― Susan Polgar

"The mind has no restrictions. The only restriction is what you believe you cannot do. So go ahead and challenge yourself to do one thing every day that scares you." ― Susan Polgar

Crash landing....

Fredthebear got carried away writing this for another collection, but it might be of use to diligent students and instructors...

Before attempting the classic chess book Logical Chess: Move by Move by Irving Chernev, FTB recommends that true beginners read the following books three times each (yes, at least three times because it gets clearer -- easier, smoother with each reading as information is assimilated with prior understanding).

Successful chess is PATTERN RECOGNITION from prior experience. Proper repetition is very beneficial. Such books will teach and reinforce basic fundamental patterns s/he must consistently recognize to win the game. With each additional reading, the beginner gets better, quicker, smoother at recognizing the reoccurring patterns in chess such as forks, pins, skewers, discovered attacks, batteries/outnumbering, and forced checkmate arrangements. One reading will not suffice for mastery!

The point is, if the chess beginner struggles with the book list below, Logical Chess will prove too difficult as well. There's little or no value in reading a chess book that is too difficult to comprehend. One's playing ability and understanding must approach the same level as the book is written for. A grammar school student does not read textbooks written for the senior high school! (The written word of Logical Chess is easy enough to understand, but the combinations and alternate moves are a bit much for newbies.)

Note: Obtain these books from your local library. Each can be requested through interlibrary loan. It's a good idea to purchase the puzzle books (3 or more diagrams per page) to have at home/backpack for constant review of 1,000 to 3,000 puzzles. Most used chess books can be purchased on-line for $10 or less w/a $4 shipping & handling fee. New books, out-of-print books, and hardbacks cost more.

0) Easy Guide to Chess by B.H. Wood. A good first book for adult readers, but probably not children. The Amazing Book of Chess by Gareth Williams is a large, colorful, entertaining hardback with clear chess diagrams.

1) Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess by Fischer's friends (Various checkmates on the back rank that must not be overlooked. This book uses stars and arrows instead of move notation. This self-guided book has one puzzle per page; it's an easy read that must be understood. It does not explain openings, middlegames, or endgames. It drills, drills, drills, how to perform checkmate in many different but simple ways such as pinning or deflecting the defender, or outnumbering the defender w/more attackers!!)

Most of these are long-lasting chess books still in some form of circulation written in descriptive notation:

2) First Book of Chess by I.A. Horowitz and Fred Reinfeld (More comprehensive than Fischer's puzzle book; introduction to descriptive notation, various openings, tactics, and endgames that promote pawns to queen or knight.)

3) Reshevsky Teaches Chess by GM Samuel Reshevsky. (Further explanations of moves, rules, concepts with good games examples.) "Learn Chess Fast" by Reshevsky and Reinfeld is also good.

4) Chess Tactics for Beginners by Fred Reinfeld (Practice basic captures piece by piece; it includes but does not over-emphasize checkmates. Strong chess players master tactics with a high degree of speed and accuracy! Perfect practice makes perfect.)

5) An Invitation to Chess by Kenneth Harkness and Irving Chernev. (This classic teaches various concepts and builds up to chess movies...games with a diagram shown after each side has moved. White moves, Black moves; there's another diagram showing the correct position, etc.)

6) How to be a Winner at Chess by Fred Reinfeld. (Vital guidelines of the thinking process for the novice in the opening, middlegame, and endgame. This is the basic foundation of planning ahead -- what to think about and look for -- that should clear up any misconceptions.)

7) Chess For Beginners by I.A. Horowitz (white cover). The endgame chapter is must-know. The combinations are a bit too challenging for beginners. This book is highly recommended by a well-known chess coach.

8) How to Win Chess Games Quickly by Fred Reinfeld. Mostly short games of 16 moves or less. This is a fairly easy book that could have been read sooner, but a focus on the opening phase should be delayed in the learning process.

9) Chess in an Hour, revised 2nd edition by Frank J. Marshall and Irving Chernev. (Brief lessons on opening traps, middlegame combinations, and pawn endgames. The puzzle examples from GM games are more challenging than the previous books.)

10) A Primer of Chess by Fred Reinfeld.
10) How to Force Checkmate by Fred Reinfeld (300 famous checkmate puzzles in 1-3 moves; it starts off easy but gets more difficult. Read this book three times back-to-back-to-back!!!)

11) Let's Play Chess by Anthony Hansford. Thin hardcover, visually appealing and informative. This serves as an excellent summary of what's been learned so far. Contains more grandmaster games than most beginner books to usher the reader further along.

12) How to Improve Your Chess by I.A. Horowitz and Fred Reinfeld. (This book has 16 games fully explained move-by-move. It is a simpler version of Logical Chess; it holds the reader's hand each turn. The headline and initial paragraph outlines the theme of that particular game.)

13) Chess in Ten Easy Lessons by Larry Evans is well-known; the level of difficulty jumps dramatically toward the end of the book. It includes an excellent jump start on mainstream openings. Unfortunately, the binding tends to be weak, so keep a rubber band wrapped around the middle so the pages don't fall out.

14) Combinations by Julius Du Mont. (A forgotten gem that will raise one's level of analysis. It will prepare you to identify the combinations shown in Logical Chess. Only one move can be played at a time; it's done so after carefully calculating and eliminating other less useful possibilities.)

15) Logical Chess, Move by Move by Irving Chernev. This is the book you've been preparing for!

16) Lasker's How to Play Chess: An Elementary Text Book for Beginners. This book is not as simple as the title sounds.

17) Attack and Counterattack in Chess by Fred Reinfeld. This book is an excellent introduction to multiple openings with emphasis on rapid development and central control. Most games last 20-30 moves explained over 3-4 pages w/a diagram at the key moment.

19) Win at Chess by Irving Chernev and Fred Reinfeld (A MUST READ! This renowned book on tactics explains step-by-step how to find the best move to capture your opponent's piece.)

18) How Not to Play Chess by Eugene A. Znosko-Borovsky. This small book is an oldie but goodie that explains twenty five "do not" principles that span general planning and bad habits, opening traps, middlegame combinations, and stopping the passed pawn. Many advanced beginners and intermediates do not realize that they repeat the same types of mistakes over and over.

20) The Logical Approach to Chess by Dr. Max Euwe. This teaches concepts and fundamentals. It addresses the pawn's role.

20) A New Approach to Chess Mastery by Fred Reinfeld. This book uses a question and answer format. It contains just eight games and serves as a fairly brief self-test.

20) The Art of the Checkmate by Renaud & Kahn (A delightful classic...one of my all-time favorites. Students must know how to go about finishing off their opponents.)

21) Common Sense in Chess by Emanuel Lasker. Another classic.

21) Great Short Games of the Chess Masters by Fred Reinfeld.

22) Chess: the way to win by Edward Young. It's loaded with Rules, Opening Traps, Attacking Motifs, and a chapter on the Endgame.

22) What's the Best Move? by Larry Evans.

23) Chess Made Simple by Milton L. Hanauer. Highly instructional, but prior chess understanding helps one to appreciate the usefulness of the material. If you read it once, you'll read it again because you want to.

25) The Game of Chess by Harry Golombek.

25) Win in 20 Moves or Less by Fred Reinfeld (73 short games with light notes and more variety in the openings.)

25) Endgames: Essential Knowledge by Averbakh.

27) Chess Quiz/Challenge to Chess Players by Fred Reinfeld. Puzzle book. Re-printed in algebraic notation as How to Win at Chess.

28) Chess the Easy Way by Reuben Fine. Not as easy as it sounds, but it will be easily understood if you've done your reading assignments!

29) Chess Strategy and Tactics by Chernev and Reinfeld. 50 thematic games.

30) Chess Fundamentals by Jose R. Capablanca. The general principles and game examples are good, but this book requires prior understanding of basic fundamentals to get use from it.

31) The Complete Chess Player by Fred Reinfeld. Compare this book to Capablanca's book.

23) A Primer of Chess by Jose R. Capablanca. It's a bit much for a novice.

31) Chess Master vs Chess Amateur by Dr. Max Euwe and Walter Meiden. This dense book takes a month to read... it's not for beginners, but it does explain everything very well!

32) The King Hunt in Chess by W.H. Cozens. This list constantly hones the reader's ability to strike hard and fast without mercy!

Instructive chess puzzle books (written in descriptive notation) with diagrams on every page can be solved by starring at the book -- no board is necessary. To solve the puzzles, consider all the possible forcing moves: 1.1) All possible Checks, Captures, and Pawn (Advances)/Promotions available NOW. The vast majority of your moves should be made with your pieces, not your pawns. Pieces can go farther, faster and retreat. 1.2, 1.3) Then consider future Threats to Check, Capture or Pawn (Advances)/Promotion in two or three moves. (Sometimes a simple quite move is made first that limits the opponent's response, such as seizing control of an open line or blocking a backward pawn to prevent the opposing king's escape. This quiet move first prepares a violent follow-up.) 2) Double Attack: Can one of my units move to attack two or more of his units simultaneously? This concept falls under the tactical category of forks, pins, skewers, and discovered attacks. Every unit on the chessboard from king to pawn is capable of forking two opposing units. 3) MIP: Attack a More Important Piece, such as aiming thy bishop at the opposing queen or pushing the pawn at a knight. 4) Outnumber: Attack something already under attack by adding another attacker or subtracting a defender. Where a capture is not materially sound, consider changing the equation of attackers vs. defenders. 5) Unpin/Untie/Unsmother Immediately. If my unit is immobilized and cannot or dare not move to make it's own threat, then I should fix the problem to give my unit freedom of movement.

Repeatedly solving puzzle books from the list is how one develops tactical vision of reoccurring patterns. Gaining a material advantage by capturing and removing the opponent's army one unit at a time without losing your own is a huge advantage, often on the path to victory ("Superior force should win" says Chernev). In most games, a certain number of captures must occur to clear off defenders and make way for invasion before a checkmate can happen. The general with the larger, entirely mobilized army should win if he's careful yet aggressive!

To develop strategical considerations -- a long term plan when forcing tactics are not available -- the learner should play through many annotated games that explain the reasoning behind the moves. Books that have a collection of annotated games from first move to last (like Logical Chess) must be read while seated at a table with a chessboard to play out each move on the board. Just make the move given in the book and continue to follow along move by move. The reader sees what is happening and how the position changes with each turn as the author explains the why.

In fact, many would suggest using two chessboards when conducting a self-study: one board tracks the actual game sequence written in the book, and the second board is for considering alternative moves different from the original game sequence. The units on the second board often get pushed out-of-sorts when a creative mind debates the various possibilities that could have been played instead. Fortunately, it easy to return to the actual printed game sequence because it remains standing in the proper place on the first board. The first board never varies from the actual move order of the game given in the book. The second board serves as the "jumping off" point to look at other possibilities. Many readers prefer to use a standard regulation board as the first board, and a much smaller pocket-sized portable set as the second board.

The 33 games from Logical Chess are not included in this collection. Learn what combinations are and build up to it.

Gee whiz, FTB got tired just reading that list. Better get started if you want to get better. Know the rules and basic fundamentals without hesitation.

* Game Collection: Checkmate: Checkmate Patterns This link has a good, concise collection of diagrammed checkmate patterns by name.

You might have heard the saying,
"At the end of the game, the King and the Pawn go in the same box." but depending on the moves you make, one of them is ultimately the winner. One of them stays on the board longer, does more for his team. Let's extend that phrase.
"At the end of the game, the King and the Pawn go in the same box. But the game is decided by the moves they make." I assume everyone understands Chess, but for those who don't, That's okay, too. I'll explain one more thing about it. The Pawn can only move in one direction.
The King can move wherever he wants.
This remains true unless the Pawn decides to go on the offensive To take life by his own hands
A variety of options open up to him
Whereas then, the King is limited by his options. He sees nothing new, and can merely advance or
Retreat
In the same directions he always has.
And he very well may retreat, because when he falls, it's all over. The Pawn, though? The Pawn can never retreat. He can only move forward And if he makes it to the other side,
He becomes a Queen. The most prominent, powerful piece, It goes in the same box but it can determine the outcome of the entire game. A single piece can determine if, and how any other piece will fall. This is true of the Queen, of the King, of the Pawn. This is true of the Knights and the Bishops and the Rooks and every single piece, and so with every thing equally significant, let's strip away the titles and just look at our actions, because it isn't our title that defines us. It's how we play the game.
Sometimes that means we have all the power.
Sometimes that means we have none.
Sometimes we are alone.
Sometimes we are together.
But at the end of the day, we all go in the same box.

"Zeitnot" is German for "time pressure."

The Head and the Tail of the Serpent

Two parts the serpent has –
Of men the enemies –
The head and tail: the same
Have won a mighty fame,
Next to the cruel Fates; –
So that, indeed, hence
They once had great debates
About precedence.
The first had always gone ahead;
The tail had been for ever led;
And now to Heaven it prayed,
And said,
"O, many and many a league,
Dragged on in sore fatigue,
Behind his back I go.
Shall he for ever use me so?
Am I his humble servant;
No. Thanks to God most fervent!
His brother I was born,
And not his slave forlorn.
The self-same blood in both,
I'm just as good as he:
A poison dwells in me
As virulent as does
In him. In mercy, heed,
And grant me this decree,
That I, in turn, may lead –
My brother, follow me.
My course shall be so wise,
That no complaint shall rise."

With cruel kindness Heaven granted
The very thing he blindly wanted:
To such desires of beasts and men,
Though often deaf, it was not then.
At once this novel guide,
That saw no more in broad daylight
Than in the murk of darkest night,
His powers of leading tried,
Struck trees, and men, and stones, and bricks,
And led his brother straight to Styx.
And to the same unlovely home,
Some states by such an error come.

Don't Let Your Past Determine Your Future

<Tips to calm down
Here are some helpful, actionable tips you can try the next time you need to calm down.

1. Breathe
"Breathing is the number one and most effective technique for reducing anger and anxiety quickly," says Scott Dehorty, LCSW-C, of Delphi Behavioral Health.

When you're anxious or angry, you tend to take quick, shallow breaths. Dehorty says this sends a message to your brain, causing a positive feedback loop reinforcing your fight-or-flight response. That's why taking long, deep calming breaths disrupts that loop and helps you calm down.

There are various breathing techniques to help you calm down. One is three-part breathing. Three-part breathing requires you to take one deep breath in and then exhale fully while paying attention to your body.

Once you get comfortable with deep breathing, you can change the ratio of inhalation and exhalation to 1:2 (you slow down your exhalation so that it's twice as long as your inhalation).

Practice these techniques while calm so you know how to do them when you're anxious.

2. Admit that you're anxious or angry
Allow yourself to say that you're anxious or angry. When you label how you're feeling and allow yourself to express it, the anxiety and anger you're experiencing may decrease.

3. Challenge your thoughts
Part of being anxious or angry is having irrational thoughts that don't necessarily make sense. These thoughts are often the "worse-case scenario." You might find yourself caught in the "what if" cycle, which can cause you to sabotage a lot of things in your life.

When you experience one of these thoughts, stop and ask yourself the following questions:

Is this likely to happen?
Is this a rational thought?
Has this ever happened to me before?
What's the worst that can happen? Can I handle that?
After you go through the questions, it's time to reframe your thinking. Instead of "I can't walk across that bridge. What if there's an earthquake, and it falls into the water?" tell yourself: "There are people that walk across that bridge every day, and it has never fallen into the water."

4. Release the anxiety or anger
Dehorty recommends getting the emotional energy out with exercise. "Go for a walk or run. Engaging in some physical activity releases serotonin to help you calm down and feel better."

However, you should avoid physical activity that includes the expression of anger, such as punching walls or screaming.

"This has been shown to increase feelings of anger, as it reinforces the emotions because you end up feeling good as the result of being angry," Dehorty explains.

5. Visualize yourself calm
This tip requires you to practice the breathing techniques you've learned. After taking a few deep breaths, close your eyes and picture yourself calm. See your body relaxed, and imagine yourself working through a stressful or anxiety-causing situation by staying calm and focused.

By creating a mental picture of what it looks like to stay calm, you can refer back to that image when you're anxious.

6. Think it through
Have a mantra to use in critical situations. Just make sure it's one that you find helpful. Dehorty says it can be, "Will this matter to me this time next week?" or "How important is this?" or "Am I going to allow this person/situation to steal my peace?"

This allows the thinking to shift focus, and you can "reality test" the situation.

"When we're anxious or angry, we become hyper-focused on the cause, and rational thoughts leave our mind. These mantras give us an opportunity to allow rational thought to come back and lead to a better outcome," Dehorty explains.

7. Change your focus
Leave the situation, look in another direction, walk out of the room, or go outside.

Dehorty recommends this exercise so you have time for better decision making. "We don't do our best thinking when anxious or angry; we engage in survival thinking. This is fine if our life is really in danger, but if it isn't life threatening, we want our best thinking, not survival instincts," he adds.

8. Have a centering object
When you're anxious or angry, so much of your energy is being spent on irrational thoughts. When you're calm, find a "centering object" such as a small stuffed animal, a polished rock you keep in your pocket, or a locket you wear around your neck.

Tell yourself that you're going to touch this object when you're experiencing anxiety or frustration. This centers you and helps calm your thoughts. For example, if you're at work and your boss is making you anxious, gently rub the locket around your neck.

9. Relax your body
When you're anxious or angry, it can feel like every muscle in your body is tense (and they probably are). Practicing progressive muscle relaxation can help you calm down and center yourself.

To do this, lie down on the floor with your arms out by your side. Make sure your feet aren't crossed and your hands aren't in fists. Start at your toes and tell yourself to release them. Slowly move up your body, telling yourself to release each part of your body until you get to your head.

10. Drop your shoulders
If your body is tense, there's a good chance your posture will suffer. Sit up tall, take a deep breath, and drop your shoulders. To do this, you can focus on bringing your shoulder blades together and then down. This pulls your shoulders down. Take a few deep breaths.

You can do this several times a day.

11. Identify pressure points to calm anger and anxiety Going for a massage or getting acupuncture is a wonderful way to manage anxiety and anger. But it's not always easy to find time in your day to make it happen. The good news is, you can do acupressure on yourself for instant anxiety relief.

This method involves putting pressure with your fingers or your hand at certain points of the body. The pressure releases the tension and relaxes your body.

One area to start with is the point where the inside of your wrist forms a crease with your hand. Press your thumb on this area for two minutes. This can help relieve tension.

12. Get some fresh air
The temperature and air circulation in a room can increase your anxiety or anger. If you're feeling tense and the space you're in is hot and stuffy, this could trigger a panic attack.

Remove yourself from that environment as soon as possible and go outside — even if it's just for a few minutes.

Not only will the fresh air help calm you down, but also the change of scenery can sometimes interrupt your anxious or angry thought process.

13. Fuel your body
Being hangry never helps. If you're hungry or not properly hydrated, many relaxation techniques won't work. That's why it's important to slow down and get something to eat — even if it's just a small snack.

Try nibbling on some dark chocolate. ResearchTrusted Source shows it can help boost brain health and reduce stress.

Wash it down with a cup of green tea and honey. Studies show green tea can help reduce the body's stress response. Research has found that honey can help relieve anxiety.

14. Chew gum
Chewing on a piece of gum can help reduce anxiety (and even boost mood and productivity). In fact, research shows people who chew gum regularly are typically less stressed than non-gum chewers.

15. Listen to music
The next time you feel your anxiety level cranking up, grab some headphones and tune in to your favorite music. Listening to music can have a very calming effect on your body and mind.

16. Dance it out
Get moving to your favorite tunes. Dancing has traditionally been used as a healing art. ResearchTrusted Source shows it's a great way to combat depression and anxiety and increase quality of life.

17. Watch funny videos
Sometimes laughter really is the best medicine. Research has found that laughing provides therapeutic benefits and can help relieve stress and improve mood and quality of life. Do a quick internet search to find funny videos for an instant mood boost.

18. Write it down
If you're too angry or anxious to talk about it, grab a journal and write out your thoughts. Don't worry about complete sentences or punctuation — just write. Writing helps you get negative thoughts out of your head.

19. Squeeze a stress ball
When you're feeling stress come on, try interacting with a stress-relief toy. Options include:

stress ball
magnetic balls
sculpting clay
puzzles
Rubik's cube
fidget spinner

20. Try aromatherapy
Aromatherapy, or the use of essential oils, may help alleviate stress and anxiety and boost mood. Those commonly used in aromatherapy include:

bergamot
cedarwood
chamomile
geranium
ginger
lavender
lemon
tea tree
Add a few drops of essential oil to a diffuser, or mix it with a carrier oil (like coconut oil) and apply to your skin for quick relief.

21. Seek social support
Venting to a trusted friend, family member, or coworker can do wonders. Even if you don't have time for a full play-by-play phone call, a quick text exchange can help you let it all out and help you feel heard.

Bonus points if you engage with a funny friend who can help you laugh for added stress relief.

22. Spend time with a pet
Interacting with your favorite furry friend can decrease levels of the stress hormone cortisol and lower blood pressure. Quality time with a pet can also help you feel less alone and boost your overall mood.>

The Chess Poem by Ayaan Chettiar

8 by 8 makes 64
In the game of chess, the king shall rule
Kings and queens, and rooks and knights
Bishops and Pawns, and the use of mind

The Game goes on, the players think
Plans come together, form a link
Attacks, checks and capture
Until, of course, we reach a mate

The Pawns march forward, then the knights
Power the bishops, forward with might
Rooks come together in a line
The Game of Chess is really divine

The Rooks move straight, then take a turn
The Knights on fire, make no return
Criss-Cross, Criss-Cross, go the bishops
The Queen's the leader of the group

The King resides in the castle
While all the pawns fight with power
Heavy blows for every side
Until the crown, it is destroyed

The Brain's the head, The Brain's the King,
The Greatest one will always win,
For in the game of chess, the king shall rule,
8 by 8 makes 64!

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." ― Jesus Christ

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." ― Mother Teresa

"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be." ― Anne Frank

"Disappointment is inevitable. But to become discouraged, there's a choice I make. God would never discourage me. He would always point me to himself to trust him. Therefore, my discouragement is from Satan. As you go through the emotions that we have, hostility is not from God, bitterness, unforgiveness, all of these are attacks from Satan." ― Charles Stanley

Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Philippians 4:7
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Never Let Success Get To Your Head And Never Let Failure Get To Your Heart

BAA BAA BLACK SHEEP
Baa Baa Black Sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.
One for the master
And one for the dame.
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

Why did Chicken Little cross the road?
To warn the people on the other side that the sky was falling.

My Forking Knight's Mare
Gracefully over the squares, as a blonde or a brunette, she makes moves that not even a queen can imitate. Always active and taking the initiative,
she likes to fork.
She does it across the board,
taking with ease not only pawns, but also kings, and a bad bishop or two.
Sometimes she feels like making
quiet moves,
at other times, she adopts romantic moods,
and makes great sacrifices.
But, being hers a zero-sum game,
she often forks just out of spite.
An expert at prophylaxis, she can be a swindler, and utter threats,
skewering men to make some gains.
Playing with her risks a conundrum,
and also catching Kotov's syndrome.
Nonetheless, despite having been trampled
by her strutting ways
my trust in her remains,
unwavering,
until the endgame.
