This time discussing five of the most popular and successful openings in Chess: the Spanish Opening, the Sicilian Defense, the Italian Game, the French Defense, and the Caro-Kann. On our journey to learn about openings, we will also learn about chess legends like Arpad Elo (the inventor of ELO), Ruy Lopez, Giulio Greco, and more. We will sink our teeth into chess history like the Gottingen manuscript and the first recorded games. Then, we will study how the greatest players of today like Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, and Vladislav Artemieve like to start their games. Special guest appearance from Napoleon Bonaparte.

This week on Chess Journeys, I spoke with Nick. He's a founding Chesspunk member and Chessable beast. He's gained about 175 points in the last year. We focused on what he's changed including studying master games, switching to the Ruy Lopez, doing less opening work, joining the SayChess accountability training group, and taking breaks. It was an enlightening conversation from someone who was able to do what we all desire, gain those precious ratings points!

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7197GLI SCACCHI E LA CHIESA: UN MATRIMONIO REALIZZATO di Roberto BerettaIl Bianco muove e matta in tre mosse. Se è difficile dare scacco al Re, figuriamoci al Papa. [...] Giovanni Paolo II, infatti, potrebbe essere un avversario ostico anche sulla scacchiera.Wojtyla dispone i pezzi da lunga data, pratica gli arrocchi con disinvoltura fin dai tempi del liceo, sposta pedoni e alfieri secondo le regole del giocatore scaltrito. Lo rivela la rivista L'Italia scacchista, [...] proprio con un articolo sul Papa, pubblicando tre problemi (di cui uno inedito) che Wojtyla avrebbe composto negli anni anteguerra per una rivista polacca. Il futuro Papa, infatti, allora diciottenne, si dilettava (come peraltro molti connazionali) di scacchi ed era diventato persino compilatore della colonna di settore sulla rivista degli universitari cattolici di Cracovia; in quella sede avrebbe pubblicato, come usa nelle rubriche di genere, dei "problemi" scacchisti anonimi, che sono stati conservati negli archivi della Federazione polacca e ora tornano alla luce a lui attribuiti con una sicurezza del 90% in particolare uno, del 1938, appare persino in un manuale inglese del 1984 per principianti. L'autore della "scoperta" è Adolivio Capece, direttore de L'Italia scacchistica, che ha ripreso la notizia da riviste di settore e l'ha rilanciata in Italia. Ma Capece è anche "maestro nazionale" ed ha quindi titolo per commentare il livello tecnico di Giovanni Paolo II: "Non si tratta di problemi trascendentali, le sue sono composizioni semplici e lineari da giocatore medio. Sono temi che si basano su quello definito in gergo "scacco di scoperta", ovvero il pezzo che muove e ne "scopre" un altro che dà scacco: un approccio abbastanza comune, ma sempre simpatico. Soprattutto è importante che non siano presenti le cosiddette "demolizioni", ovvero la possibilità di più soluzioni". [...]UNA PARTITA PAPALE PAPALENon solo: di Giovanni Paolo II, allora neppure prete, si sarebbe conservata un'intera partita, giocata con una signora dell'aristocrazia di Cracovia; ma qui l'attribuzione è molto più incerta. Mentre due altri, problemi del Papa, pubblicati nel 1987 in Inghilterra e spacciati addirittura come composti nei primi anni di pontificato, si sono presto rivelati apocrifi; anzi, in quell'occasione la Segretaria di stato chiese (e ottenne) la pubblicazione di una smentita e le scuse del falsario. I falsi scacchistici non sono del resto materia nuova per i Pontefici. Già di Giovanni Paolo I, conosciuto per discreto giocatore, era stata tramandata una partita giocata da Vescovo di Vittorio Veneto contro il suo medico personale; ma si tratta di un'attribuzione molto dubbia. E anche Leone XIII, appassionato giocatore (da cardinale sfidava spesso un prete di Perugia), è stato vittima di un falso, in quanto gli venne assegnata un match disputato invece da altri. Tra i Papi scacchisti si segnalano poi il cinquecentesco Leone X, che fin da quando era solo Giovanni de' Medici risultava gran giocatore e continuò anche dopo (tanto da meritarsi una citazione in tal senso persino nell'austera Storia dei Papi del von Pastor), e in misura minore Pio V (1566-1572), mecenate di alcuni noti scacchisti dell'epoca.Prima di loro, tuttavia, non è che gli scacchisti godessero di una buona fama in casa cattolica, come documenta l'articolo di Capece. San Pier Daminani, per esempio, nel 1061 scrisse una filippica contro torri e cavalli, "disonesti, assurdi e libidinosi" perché distoglievano i sacerdoti dai doveri pastorali e perché erano troppo simili a un gioco d'azzardo: in quel periodo, infatti, per quanto assurdo possa sembrare la mossa dei pezzi era decisa dal lancio dei dadi, così da vivacizzare le partite e non far vincere sempre i più bravi, e la cosa si prestava alle scommesse. Ancora nel 1128 Bernardo di Chiaravalle interdisse la scacchiera ai Templari e una serie di concili locali del XIII secolo (particolarmente severo il Bitterrense del 1255) ribadirono la proibizione. [...] Pure San Luigi IX di Francia vietò gli scacchi nel 1254, mentre San Bernardino da Siena in una predica del 1425 riuscì a far bruciare in piazza un numero imprecisato di scacchiere. Medesimi roghi innalzò, e per due volte, il Savonarola (che pure sapeva giocare) sul finire del secolo XV. Invece un concilio messicano nel 1585 minacciò di scomunica i chierici che giocavano in pubblico. La "svolta" era però già in atto, soprattutto per opera di quattro grandi santi: Francesco Saverio, che convertì un marinaio battendolo a scacchi durante uno dei suoi viaggi missionari; Teresa d'Avila, che nel cammino di perfezione cita in dettaglio e in più punti gli scacchi (e per questo verrà proclamata nel 1944 "patrona degli scacchisti"); Francesco di Sales, che ufficialmente dichiara lecito il gioco, purché non si ecceda al punto da stancarsi troppo psichicamente; e infine il grande Carlo Borromeo, che - sorpresa! - una volta vinse in una memorabile partita notturna la dote di una monaca. [...]APERTURE DA PRETE: LA SPAGNOLA, LA SICILIANA, LA PONZIANIFu così che primo "campione del mondo" degli scacchi divenne un vescovo, lo spagnolo Ruy Lopez de Segura, il quale nel 1560 - venuto in Italia per un conclave - sfidò e vinse tutti i più forti giocatori nazionali; al ritorno scrisse un manuale in 5 volumi, ideò la "spagnola" (una delle aperture oggi più in voga) ed ebbe da Filippo II un vitalizio come "miglior scacchista del secolo".Un exploit solo parzialmente ripetuto da altri ecclesiastici, come il siciliano Pietro Carrera che nel 1617 compose prima un poemetto latino e poi un trattato sugli scacchi sostenendo la "difesa siciliana", l'apertura tuttora e di gran lunga più giocata. Oppure don Domenico Ponziani, canonico a Modena, autore de Il giuoco incomparabile degli scacchi (1769). O ancora il cappellano inglese Henry Loveday, che a Delhi intorno al 1850 elaborò la composizione scacchistica nota come "problema indiano".Per finire [...] tuttora si contano parecchi preti giocatori: qualcuno nei tornei, qualcuno per posta; il migliore, monsignor Pierluigi Sartorelli, prima categoria nazionale, era addirittura arcivescovo e nunzio apostolico. [...]Nota di BastaBugie: il problema di scacchi attribuito a Carol Wojtyla (vedi immagine: la casella in alto a sinistra è a8) ha la seguente soluzione: 1. c8=C Ra3 2. Cb6 axb6 3. axb6#

Hi! I have made a brand new chess podcast. You might ask how will this be different from the other chess podcasts? The Say Chess Podcast will be updating you on my chess projects, delivering blindfold chess puzzles, miniature games, and moments from chess history. It will challenge you to visualize the chessboard and practice blindfold chess. To ensure a good narration of the puzzles I have used an artificial voice, that I think does a better job than I would.In the first podcast episode, you will find a part of Capablanca's book ‘My Chess Career' that I'm covering in newsletter format. The game mentioned on the podcast can be found in this Lichess study or look below.Let me know what you think!THE MATCH WITH MARSHALL, CHAPTER IV, My Chess Career, part VII “The most surprising feature of all was the fact that I played without having ever opened a book to study the openings.” — CapablancaSubscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.The Match with Marshall. No difficulty was experienced in arranging the match. Marshall was disposed to play in this case where he naturally discounted his victory. How far he was wrong the result proved. I beat him eight to one with fourteen draws thrown in between. I can safely say that no player ever performed such a feat, as it was my first encounter against a master, and such a master, one of the first ten in the whole world. The most surprising feature of all was the fact that I played without having ever opened a book to study the openings; in fact, had Marshall played such things as Danish Gambits, Vienna openings, or the like, the result might have been different. I certainly should have experienced more difficulty in obtaining such a result. I had only looked up an analysis of the Ruy Lopez by Lasker, on the f5-defence, but the analysis was wrong, as it did not give the strongest continuation for Black. This, and whatever I knew from experience or hearsay, was all my stock of knowledge for the match. My victory put me at once in the foremost rank among the great masters of the game. The play during the match showed that I was weak in the openings and just about strong enough in the simple play for position. My great strength lay in the end game, and I also excelled in combinations of the middle game. I had a fine judgment as to whether a given position was won or lost, and was able to defend a difficult position as few players could, as I repeatedly demonstrated during the course of the match, in repulsing Marshall's onslaughts. I may add that my style was not as yet either definite or complete, though it had a wide range, i.e. I could attack almost as well as I could defend, and could make combinations in the middle game nearly as well as play the endings where I felt more at home and was decidedly strongest. Here are some of the games with notes as I see them today. GAME No. 7.The Fifth Game of the Match.F. Marshall vs. J. R. Capablanca, 0-1Link to Lichess studyYear: 1909Opening: Queen's Gambit Declined (Lasker Defence)1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7 5. e3 Ne4 Today, when I have developed theories in accordance with my greater experience and knowledge, the chances are great against my making such a move, but then it was different, I did not know what to play, and when someone told me that Lasker had successfully played this move in his match with Marshall, I decided to adopt it. It was not till the end of the match, when I learned something else, that I changed my defence. 6. Bxe7 Qxe7 7. Bd3 The continuation adopted by Marshall in this game is in my opinion deficient. I believe that he played this variation best in the twenty-first game. Here, at any rate, I think it is better to play cxd5, followed by Qb3, after the Knights have been exchanged. 7... Nxc3 8. bxc3 8… Nd7 cxd5 at once is better. 9. Nf3 O-O 10. Qc2 h6 11. O-O He still had time to play cxd5, which was the correct continuation. 11... c5 With the idea of counterbalancing on the Queen's side the attack of White against the Black King. 12. Rfe1 dxc4 13. Bxc4 b6 14. Qe4I do not think well of this maneuver, as the attack is too slow to obtain any advantage, and on the other hand, it compels Black to post his pieces where he wanted, i.e. the Bishop at b7, the Knight at f6, and his two Rooks at c8 and the Queen-square respectively, thereby holding the open lines with the Rooks and ready at the same time to attack the enemy's center. 14... Rb8 15. Bd3 Nf6 16. Qf4 If Qh4, Nd5 would have been sufficient. 16... Bb7 17. e4 Rfd8 18. Rad1 Rbc8 Black has now the superior game, as there is no weak point in his position, and his Queen's side is much stronger than White's. Besides, the strategical position of Black's pieces is superior to that of White's. 19. Re3 Not good, as Black quickly demonstrates. Bb1 was the correct move. 19... cxd4 20. cxd4 Rc3 21. Bb1 An error, Qh4 was the only chance White had of holding the game. 21... g5 22. Nxg5 Qg3 would have lost a Pawn, but White sees chances of attack by sacrificing the Knight and consequently adopts this continuation in preference to the other, which he thought would also have lost the game with less chances of a possible mistake on Black's part. 22... Rxe3 23. Qxe3 Ng4 hxg5 would have avoided complications but would have left White with two Pawns for the Knight. 24. Qg3 Qxg5 25. h4 Had White played Qc7 at once, Black would have answered 25. Qc7 Rc8 26. Qxb7 Rc1 27. Qb8+ Kg7 28.Rf1 Qd2 winning outright. 25... Qg7 26. Qc7 Rxd4 Not the best, Qf6 was the right move. Incidentally, it would have saved me a great deal of trouble which I had to win the game. Here I will call attention to the poor notes sometimes written by analysts. Games are often annotated by unknown players who have not sufficient knowledge of the game. As a matter of fact, the games of the great masters, at least, can only be properly annotated by very few players. Of course, even the best are not exempt from mistakes, but while they make them few and far between the others do so continuously. I was highly praised by many because of the excellence of my play in this position, while in reality, I could have done better. They simply did not see that here Qf6 was better than the text move. 27. Qb8+ Kh7 28. e5+ Be4 29. Rxd4 Bxb1 30. Qxa7 Nxe5 31. Rf4 Be4 White should not have allowed this move. 32. g3 Nf3+ Very poor play, f5 at once was the right way. After the text move Black has a difficult game to win. 33. Kg2 f5 34. Qxb6 Nxh4+ 35. Kh2 If Kh3, then Qa8 would win at once.35... Nf3+ 36. Rxf3 Forced, as Black threatened Ng5+ followed by Qa8. 36... Bxf3 37. Qxe6 Be4 38. f3 Bd3 39. Qd5 Qb2+ 40. Kg1 Bb1It is from now on that it can be said that I played well. The ending is worth studying. 41. a4 Qa1 42. Qb7+ Kg6 43. Qb6+ Kh5 44. Kh2 Ba2 45. Qb5 Kg6 46. a5 Qd4 47. Qc6+ Qf6 48. Qe8+ Qf7 49. Qa4 Qe6 50. a6 Qe2+ 51. Kh3 Bd5 52. a7 52… Bxf3 Resigns.Stay tuned for more!Thanks for reading The Say Chess Newsletter!

Nathan Gilmour moderates a conversation with Michial Farmer and David Grubbs about chess. Long regarded as the mark of an educated person, skill in chess requires, as the Humanists discover, both a strong grasp of mathematical possibilities and a keen awareness of contingency as the character of human reality. Among the texts, artists, and other realities engaged are the Ruy Lopez chess manual, T.S. Eliot, the Hardy Boys, Thomas Middleton, Garry Kasparov, the etymology of "checkmate," and The Wire.
