I have just finished only my twelfth game as a new member of the Sneaky Knights Connection. What a game! The trapped (my king and lsb) became the trappers. This game is against a player called gabriel who had a seemingly strong attack as white. Thankfully my attritional defence held through and my opponent overreached himself. This game was almost as nailbiting as the one against yakky in "In Old Matey's Shadow Part 2". In this game I could feel Old Matey breating down my neck for a few moves and it was not very pleasant. But I kept him at bay and won my twelfth game, and I now have 7 points from my 12 games!
Hope you are having a nice weekend.
Bye for now.

Topalov Closes In on Linares Title — After eight rounds, Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, the top seed, holds a one point lead in the annual Ciudad de Linares chess tournament in Spain.

Levon Aronian of Armenia is in third, having managed, like Topalov, not to have lost a game in the chess tournament. Unlike Topalov, who has won three games, Aronian has not won a game either. So far, 25 percent of the games have been decisive, but that does not mean that the other 75 percent have been dull. Quite the contrary. The games have mostly been hard fought and exciting, even ...

She had two bishops and a rook in the game. The lsb was pinned to the king for most of the game, but ultimately they were used to trap the rook that had been pinning it.
Good fortune.

Weekend of Fun and Friends Between Battles on the Chess Board — The highlight of the year for many chess players is Washington’s Birthday weekend, when four amateur team championships are held across the country. There are no cash prizes, but the chess tournaments are popular because of the camaraderie. Players walk back and forth chatting before, after and even during the games. Some renew friendships with competitors they see only once a year. The World Amateur Team East tournament in Parsippany, N.J., the biggest and oldest of the chess events, celebrated its 40th birthday this year. There were 1,150 players and 271 teams, down from 283 teams last year, said Steve Doyle, the tournament’s director, who ...
