For 70 years the U.S. Chess Federation has held the U.S. Junior Open, featuring young players under 21. This book is the first to focus on the formative years of these juniors, many of whom became the outstanding masters of the United States. Each chapter contains an annotated game of the winner of the championship and brief identifications of the notable players. Crosstables are included where available.
Explains all legal chess moves, and discusses the regulations governing tournaments, lifetime rankings, and tournament director certification.
This is by far the most comprehensive accounting of the games of this brilliant chess player: an exhaustive catalog the result of many years of digging--an effort unparalleled in the history of chess game collections. Many of the games are annotated by Alekhine and range from his earliest correspondence tournaments in 1902 through his final match with Francisco Lupi at Estoril, Portugal, in January 1946.
This book consists of previously unpublished manuscripts by Vygotsky found in the first systematic study of Vygotsky’s family archive. The notebooks and scientific diaries gathered in this volume represent all periods of Vygotsky’s scientific life, beginning with the earliest manuscript, entitled The tragicomedy of strivings (1912), and ending with his last note, entitled Pro domo sua (1934), written shortly before his death. The notes reveal unknown aspects of the eminent psychologist’s personality, show his aspirations and interests, and allow us to gain insights into the development of his thinking and its internal dynamics. Several texts reflect the plans that Vygotsky was unable to realize during his lifetime, such as the creation of a theory of emotions and a theory of consciousness, others reveal Vygotsky’s involvement in activities that were previously unknown, and still others provide outlines of papers and lectures. The notes are presented in chronological order, preceded by brief introductions and accompanied by an extensive set of notes. The result is a book that allows us to obtain a much deeper understanding of Vygotsky’s innovative ideas.
American Grandmaster Reuben Fine grew up in the East Bronx in an impoverished Russian-Jewish family, learning to play chess from an uncle at the age of eight. During his high school years, his stake winnings and coins earned from playing at a Coney Island concession helped support his family. After graduating from college, he decided to become a professional player. Though his active international career was brief, his accomplishment and talent are unmistakably significant. This comprehensive collection of 659 of Reuben Fine's tournament and match games is presented chronologically, in context, and with annotations from contemporary sources. More than 180 other games and game fragments (rapid transit, correspondence, exhibition, blitz, and others) are also included. The work also includes a biography of Fine, and notes aspects of his career that merit further study: his contribution to endgame and middlegame theory, his methods and style of play, and his exhibition play. Fine's career results, brief biographical data about his opponents, a comprehensive bibliography that includes his contributions to journals, and indexes of players and of openings complete the work.
Man vs. Machine Technology continues to advance at a rapid pace. It may sound quaint today, but not so long ago, computers battled humans for supremacy at the game of chess. The challenge of building a computer program capable of defeating the best of human-kind at chess was one of the original grand challenges of the fledgling field of artificial intelligence. On one side were dedicated scientists and hobbyists who invested decades of effort developing the software and hardware technology; on the other side were incredibly talented humans with only their determination and preparation to withstand the onslaught of technology. The man versus machine battle in chess is a landmark in the history of technology. There are numerous books that document the technical aspects of this epic story. The human side is not often told. Few chess players are inclined to write about their man-machine encounters, other than annotating the games played. This book brings the two sides together. It tells the stories of many of the key scientists and chess players that participated in a 50-year research project to advance the understanding of computing technology. “Grandmaster Karsten Müller and Professor Jonathan Schaeffer have managed to describe the fascinating history of the unequal fight of man against machine in an entertaining and instructive way. It evoked pleasant and not so pleasant memories of my own fights against the monsters. I hope that their work gives you as much pleasure as it has given me.” – From the Foreword by Vladimir Kramnik, 14th World Chess Champion
The weekend of July Fourth, 1971 The jukebox is playing ”Everything is Beautiful”… Old Glory flaps against the blue, Southern sky… The aromas of burgers and hot dogs hang in the still air… Children laugh as they play with sparklers in the park… And the night fills with screams when a girl’s body is found, her throat torn out by savage teeth… Summer Moore is a waitress at the Dixie Dinette. Twenty, blonde and beautiful, Summer desperately needs to break free from her mother’s constant nagging and the dull monotony of life in the small mountain town of Stonebridge, Virginia. She wants out. His buddies in ‘Nam called him the Midnight Rider. Trager’s the name on his Army jacket, but a dark shadow of the unknown hangs over this Vietnam vet as he rides into town on a night-black Electra Glide, called on a quest that’s tainted by blood. Sheriff Buddy Hicks doesn’t like hippies in his town…especially not long-haired hippie bikers. As soon as the sheriff saw him, he knew the biker was trouble. Now something feels different in Stonebridge—something he doesn’t understand—and he’s not going to put up with radicals in his town…not some biker, and not some smart mouth like Summer Moore. There are secrets in the woods. Summer and the biker, locked in a waltz, an embrace of shadows, that has lasted for centuries… It’s a death-dance in the moonlight. It’s a love story. With blood.
