Black Attacks f2 Annoyed Fredthebear ECO B games
Compiled by fredthebear
--*--

The f2-square is a prime target initially defended only by the king.

Hacked!

* GK: Game Collection: Kasparov - The Sicilian Sheveningen

Al certainly offers no proof whatsoever that ratings inflation has NOT occurred. He's just arguing for the sake of bitching, his mission in life, a common angry lib who accomplishes nothing of value to others.

FTB asks again, other than Anand, what regular opponents of Carlsen will go down in history as dominant legends of classical chess? GMs Nepomniachtchi, Andreikin, Fedoseev, Giri, Baburin, etc. are hardly in the class of Petrosian, Polugaevsky, Averbakh, Spassky, Bronstein, Korchnoi, Karpov, etc. https://chesspert.com/46-best-chess...

The next generation of stars that Carlsen ducked at the 86th edition of Tata Steel 2024 just might reach legendary status someday: https://www.chess.com/news/view/11-...

The "Wimbledon of Chess" will be without Magnus Carlsen again in 2025: https://kingdomofchess.com/tata-ste... Maintaining sobriety for 13 rounds might be too much to ask these nights. Of course, that didn't stop some of the Russian greats, did it? https://news-pravda.com/usa/2024/12...

It seems clear enough that Fischer and Kasparov faced many legends. Ratings aside, their competition at the top of the leaderboards was stiffer.

Lambda makes good points:

Green Haven in a Concrete Jungle
by Michael Brogan

Even as I walk past,
Comerica stands
grass illuminates like a lamp post on a winter night. Tigers season, baby
Dad and I do our yearly tradition.
The smell of the park is second to none.
But not this year.
Dad ain't doin so well.
His knee ain't up for it.
Love you, old man.
Maybe, just maybe, the old Tigs
will surprise us and make the playoffs
and then
maybe, just maybe,
we can go to a game
and let that tradition ride on.

"Chess is life in miniature. Chess is a struggle, chess battles." — Garry Kasparov

"Sometimes in life, and in chess, you must take one step back to take two steps forward." — IM Levy Rozman, GothamChess

So much, much, much better to be an incurable optimist than deceitful and untrustworthy.

"Don't blow your own trumpet." — Australian Proverb

Old Russian Proverb: "Scythe over a stone." (Нашла коса на камень.) The force came over a stronger force.

"Continuing to play the victim is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Blaming others for your station in life will indeed make you a victim but the perpetrator will be your own self, not life or those around you." — Bobby Darnell

Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.">

<<<Anticipation> by Philip Lawrence>

warm May morning
early cool breeze
pock-marked bleachers
men loping lazily across
a verdant carpet as
bright-white baseballs are
snared under ice-blue skies
and as three-year-old eyes
dart unfailingly, and
sneakers kick up and down
mid-air while tiny fingers
grip the metal chair in
full anticipation>

<<<Hotdogs On the Run> by PAT Adams>

With Baseball hotdogs on the run
Caught up in, excitement and fun
Watch where you go
Before you know
You might slip and fall on your bun!>

The oldest known chess poem is called the Einsiedeln Poem (one copy has the title "Versus de Scachis"). It was discovered first in the Einsiedeln canton of Switzerland. Marilym Yalom in the "Birth of the Chess Queen" tells us the manusript was created by a German-speaking Benedictine monk at the monastery in Einsiedeln. This is a very important chess document since, while the game in the poem is clearly the Muslim game of chess, it contains many modern features. First, it avoids Ababic terms and the "nomenclature of the game is drawn from that of the state, and not from that of the army." It presents chess as "not a dice game," and mentions a chequered board (as opposed to the Arabic unicolored board). The names of the pieces are given as rex (King), regina (Queen), comes or curvus (Count -today's Bishop), eques (Knight), rochus (Rook) and pedes (Pawn). Notice the use of the term "regina;" this is the first mention of, what was previously known as "vizier," the Queen, although this Queen could only move one square diagonally. A Pawn could be promoted to Queen (who was only marginally more powerful than a pawn) but only if the original Queen in off the board. — batgirl, chess.com

Proverbs 14:29-35

29 He who is slow to anger has great understanding, But he who is quick-tempered * exalts folly.

30 A tranquil heart is life to the body, But passion is rottenness to the bones.

31 He who oppresses the poor taunts his Maker, But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him.

32 The wicked is thrust down by his wrongdoing, But the righteous has a refuge when he dies.

33 Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, But in the hearts of fools it is made known.

34 Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people.

35 The king's favor is toward a servant who acts wisely, But his anger is toward him who acts shamefully.

A Lefty Land
by JD Maxwell

A different land exists somewhere,
Where lefties are the norm.
The lefty side considered there,
Is standard for the form.

Lets say, someone, you go to meet,
And then extend a hand.
But it's the left, you'll use to greet,
In all the lefty land.

A lefty golfer's shopping dream,
For clubs would be abound.
Or you could fit a baseball team,
Where lefty gloves are found.

From right to left, we all would write,
And never more to smear,
The ink our hand collects just might,
On up and disappear.

And think about the kitchen tools,
To fill about your house.
And then you'll find at all the schools,
A left computer mouse.

And so I dream that there's a place,
That's based upon a hand,
And all of us can share a space,
Our little lefty land.

The 20-40-40 rule in chess is a rule for players rated below 2000 that states 20% of your study should be dedicated to openings, 40% to the middlegame, and 40% to the endgame.

Caissa, The Chess Lord.

Lord, I play three hundred hours of chess,
indeed, Lord, in thirty days more or less.
I have done my best under gruelling stress,
Yet I'm not happy with my snailing progress.
Yes, Lord. Caissa, to you I sadly do confess:
my constant losing has put me in distress.
I beg of you, Lord, Caissa, help me to re-assess so I can beat those who keep me in this mess.
Lord, with your blessing and your skills I guess I would always win and so powerfully aggress,
that all my opponents would humbly express:
hark here cometh the unbeatable king of chess.
