Winning with Chess Psychology (Pal Benko and Burt Hochberg)

8,48 MB PDF

Grandmaster Benko has played chess with the big boys, and has been an established and enjoyable chess writer for a very long time.  Here he grabs a topic, tells tales, teaches and explains all – kind of like having him in your living room for a very pleasant after-dinner chat.  You will enjoy the visit.
Psychology has become a standard weapon in the armory of  modern chess.  It is not unfair or unsporting or unethical or illegal or against the rules.  It is simply the application of the principle, first enunciated by Lasker, that the best move is the one that disturbs the opponent the most.
The contents: Chess As a Fight; Chess As Art; Chess As Sport; Chess As Life; Chess As War; Putting Psychology to Work for You; Psychology in the Opening; Developing a Style; Psychology in the Endgame; The Psychology of the Draw; The Last Round and Other Crises; The Trouble With Women (and Computers); Attack, Defense, and Counterattack; To Err Is Human, to Forgive, Foolhardy; Time Pressure Terrors; Your Opponent and Other Distractions; Commonsense Principles of Chess Psychology.
The lapwing (or pewit), a member of the plover family, is a brightly colored bird known for its erratic flight and irritating cry. The German word for this obnoxious fellow is Kiebitz,  a word which the Germans use appropriately to describe a similarly obnoxious person; that is, a busybody. The verb form, kiebitzen, means “to look over the shoulder of a card player” – that is, to kibitz.

In Yiddish, a form of German, the verb kibitz and the noun kibitzer, which have both been absorbed into the English language, refer not to a variety of bird but to, among other things, a variety of nuisance. The variety of nuisance that hangs around people when they’re playing chess or card games.
Kibitzers don’t play; they kibitz. They always know what you should have played, and they will tell you without being asked. They will tell you if they are asked not to. Sometimes they will even tell you what you should play before you play it…

Practical Chess Defence (Jacob Aagaard)

DJVU | 192 pages | 9197524441 | 4.6Mb

Practical Chess Defence /by Jacob Aagaard. Chess is developing faster now than ever before in history, and the appearance of strong chess computers has changed the way players think. In the past many positions would have been rejected on principle as impossible to defend, and even the best players would shy away from capturing material if it meant that they would have to face a difficult defense.

This attitude has changed, and today?s top players are not afraid of walking a very fine line in defense. Here's practical advice on various methods of defense, offering readers the chance to test and train with 200 challenging examples. While not for the fainthearted, this book will help the reader greatly improve in this vital part of the game.

The Chess Girls - The story of the Polgár sisters (2011 BBC)

The emergence of the Polgar sisters in the 1970s and 80s rocked the chess world. In a heavily male dominated game, the three Hungarian girls broke record after record. The youngest, Judit, was talked of as a potential world champion.

The Chess Girls is the story of their parents, Laszlo and Klara Polgar, and how they defied the Communist authorities to conduct a remarkable educational experiment. Laszlo Polgar, convinced that any healthy child can be trained to become a genius, set out to prove his theory with his own children.

This is a drama-documentary with excerpts from an interview with Laszlo and Klara Polgar recorded for the play. The writer, Lavinia Greenlaw, takes their account and re-creates the lives of the young Polgar family in their tiny Budapest flat. The fictional Laszlo is played by Kerry Shale, and Klara by Sally Orrock.

Director: Chris Ledgard.

The marvellous photograph of Judit Polgár playing a simultaneous match against multiple opponents in 1992 was taken by Ed Yourdon and has been used under this Creative Commons licence.

The original title and caption reads:
"Simultaneous chess exhibit v. Judit Polgar, 1992
These pictures were taken during a simultaneous "exhibition" match that Hungarian chess prodigy Judit Polgar played against roughly a dozen local chess kids in the spring of 1992."

The Chess Girls - The story of the Polgár sisters

"Yes? Yes? You like?"

I'm sitting in a big, airy flat in a fashionable bit of Budapest. Next to me, the extraordinary László Polgár is slapping chess pieces down on a star shaped board (his latest invention), then fixing me with his stare and demanding yet again, drawled and emphatic "Yes? Yes? You like?".

I, meanwhile, scrabble for the schoolboy chess skills to show that yes, I understand, and yes, yes, I like. Definitely.

Then, perhaps, László and Klara will tell me their story.

And they did, a story which began more than forty years ago in a much smaller flat in the same city.
Defying the Communist regime and open antisemitism, they educated their three daughters at home to prove László's theory that any healthy child can become a genius. His experiment was built around language teaching, but he also introduced each of the girls at a very young age to chess, and then coached them intensively.

At the highest level, chess is a man's world, but the Polgár sisters went on to smash records and win international fame. It's an astonishing tale.

László did most of the telling, Klara the translating. You can hear extracts from the interview in The Chess Girls, in which the writer Lavinia Greenlaw weaves the voices of the real László and Klara into her fictional vision of life in the Polgar household. Listening to the force in the voice - of both the real László and his fictional counterpart played by Kerry Shayle - you can hear why even an impromptu twenty minute lesson in Starchess is never forgotten. If you want a look at how László's game works (and a look at László), his site is here.

Lavinia's favourite description of the Polgárs comes in a piece by the International Master and chess writer William Hartston for The Independent in 1992. Recalling family celebrations after the Hungarian team (ie the Polgár sisters) had triumphed in the Chess Olympics, he wrote, "With the three girls of various sizes, a plump mother, and László, gnome-like, with a cloth cap covering his balding head, they looked like the happy scene at the end of a fairy story."

Like all decent fairy stories there's conflict and darkness - László Polgár's methods were unheard of and attracted a good deal of criticism. But, Klara explains very firmly, the girls' happiness was never in question and the family were - and still are - a close, loving one.

At the end of our interview in Budapest, László and Klara's dog, keen for a walk, started barking. So at the end of the play, the real dog barks on the tape, the fictional László calls it to the studio/flat door, and off they all go.

Chris Ledgard is a radio producer based in Bristol and directed The Chess Girls

Bobby Fischer against the world (2011 HBO)

700 MB AVI
HBO brings a film that explores the complex story of a brilliant but troubled man who became a worldwide chess prodigy, seemingly tormented and destructive as his reputation grew. Hailed as a chess genius before puberty, Bobby Fischer’s mother pushed his early obsession with chess. In 1958, 14-year-old Robert James “Bobby” Fischer stunned the chess world by becoming the youngest grandmaster in history, launching a career that would make him a legend. Then the next decade and a half, his rise to the top of the game riveted the world and inspired an international chess phenomenon. And then Fischer disappeared from the public eye.

How to Win at Chess (BBC - Time Shift - Series 9 - 2009)


Many people know the basic rules of chess, but few can play really well. This programme offers some essential tips on how to raise our game.

British grandmasters Dan King and Ray Keene go through a special demonstration game from opening gambit to checkmate, revealing the key moves that can lead to victory. They explain the opening, middle and end games, and how to outwit an opponent with techniques such as forks, pins and skewers.

Along the way the colourful and diverse world of British chess playing is celebrated, including speed chess and chess boxing, and useful advice is offered on how not to be humiliated by a child prodigy.

Also taking part are novelist Martin Amis, writer Dominic Lawson, Britain's youngest grandmaster David Howell and under-16 champion Sheila Dines.

Game over - Kasparov and the machine (2003)

 

Garry Kasparov is arguably the greatest chess player who has ever lived. In 1997 he played a chess match against IBM’s computer Deep Blue. Kasparov lost the match. This film shows the match and the events surrounding it from Kasparov’s perspective. It delves into the psychological aspects of the game, paranoia surrounding it and suspicions that have arisen around IBM’s true tactics. It consists of interviews with Kasparov, his manager, chess experts, and members of the IBM Deep Blue team, as well as original footage of the match itself.

The good parts of the movie is that you have interviews with Kasparov and the IBM team. Kasparov is a charming guy. The IBM team are open and friendly. The movie shows both the bad and good sides of Kasparov, who displays dignity and his temper when he is being pushed around by IBM. The Deep Blue team are interesting, but the IBM company does not come off well. They milk the match for all advertising they could get. The movie keeps touting that it was a victory of machine intelligence over Man, but the point I get from it is, several computer geeks and chess grand masters after years of effort can put together a program that can barely beat a world champion, if they take every single psychological and technical advantage they can.
