Lausanne (SWI), "Lausanne Young Masters",
17-22.09.2003
|
The idea of organizing a tournament of the world's
strongest junior players was realized for the first time in 1999. Eight players aged
below 20 gathered in Lausanne to take part in a knock-out competition. They played
matches of two games, followed by rapid games and blitz. Since then, the tournament
became a traditional event and obtained a title Lausanne Young Masters.

Many chess amateurs know about the so-called 'alternative chess'; many of them played it.
The essence of this game is that each side consists of two (sometimes, three) players,
who make moves one after another – provided it is their turn to move. Players within one
side cannot consult each other. One of the attractive features of this game
is that it eliminates the difference in class between players.
Co-ordination
of players within one team is far more important.

"Manual of Chess Endings", GM Sarhan
Guliev
The novelty of the present book is that it only examines exact position. Such
positions form the skeleton
of all works on the endgame already published, but not one of these authors is
able to resist the temptation
to proceed further, from the simple to the complicated. And they deal with
problematic positions,
where what is required of a player is not only exact knowledge, but also stamina,
fighting, spirit,
will–to–win and so on.
Thus you have here a collection of the 600 most standart (exact) endgame
positions.

It was a year before, that the Canadian coach and organizer Dennis Nadow
invited me and my pupils,
A.Iliushin and N.Pogonina to the 40th Canadian open championship. We never
have been
in Northern America and the prize fund of $40.000 was attrac–
tive,
so we accepted
the kind invitation.
For the first time, the tournament was held in a small town Capuscasing, state Ontario,
situated approximately in 900 km from Toronto.
