Week 7 Report
(10-16 June 2012)
Plan to take part in Insofar Tournament tomorrow. For tomorrow tournament my aims are as below:
1. To write down all my moves on my new chess score book.
2. To finish better than my initial seeding.
3. To have fun!
I better achieve all that to make it worthwhile for me to be away from my family on Father’s Day…
This week is quite a hectic week for me and as such only able to spent little time studying chess (well, playing many games at chesscube is a contributing factor too)
Moro is leading Tal Memorial and Naka is catching up. Hope I could see 1,2 finishing in them!

interesting Blog Sir...
ReplyDeletesaya pula... jenn jeng jeng... mencadangkan membaca buku2 Capablanca... dari My Chess Career, Chess Fundamental, Chess Primer, Capa Last Lecturer dan Chernev 60 Capablanca Endgame...
saya cuma nak nyatakan disini... kalau Sir Ilham perasan...
dengan pengetahuan 'zero opening'... capablanca pada umur 12 tahun... (yang banyak menelaah endgame...) melawan Master Corzo... seorang specialist opening dan pernah buat buku endgame di Cuba... pada ketika itu... Corzo menggunakan 'gambit style' sebab dia tahu Capa kurang pengetahuan opening... (konon2 nak guna psikologi la tu)... dan Capa MENANG!!!... (My Chess Career)
Capa Menyembelih 'Marshall Attack' yang telah lama disimpan oleh Marshall semata2 untuk melawan semula Capa...
bila ditanya... 'i know nothing about all those variation'... or something like that...
sejak hari itu... bila ada masa je... saya belajar endgame... ada masa je... endgame... hohoho...
teringat kata2 Alekhine... pemilihan opening capablanca adalah terbatas... tetapi dia expert dalam 1-2 opening sahaja... yup... Ruy Lopez dan Queen Gambit Decline... (bila merujuk perkara ini, teringat komen Peter Long kat sebelah2 bawah tu)
Maksudnya... dengan power 1-2 opening... dan menelaah begitu banyak endgame... Capa menjadi Genius dan hampir tak terkalah... (GM Josef katakan untuk Rook Ending... Capa Menelaah 1500 posisi Rook Ending untuk menjadi Master Rook Ending... dan begitu juga ending2 yang lain...)
the recipe is soooooooooooo simple.... sounds good to be true...
i think its good to see capa point of view in his books.... As Simple As That Sir...
Clarity is the best word to describe Capa's game...tak payah complicated moves...simple, straightforward...suddenly kena jerat! tu yang mahal tu! :)
