FIDE Chess in Schools



Take care in your games. You will probably
be given lots of good advice by your
parents, your chess teachers and coaches
and your friends.

For example get your king into safety by
castling early. However, you must be
careful. Even the best players make
terrible mistakes in this respect.

!an you point to #wanda on a map4 This
one )from >oogle+ makes it easy for you.

The population of the country is about 70
million. There was a terrible civil war from
7??@=7??* and about a million people
were killed. &ow it is much beter to play
chess, especially for the children.
!hess has become very popular, and the
playing venues are crowded.

There is a shortage of chess sets in
#wanda, so F.<E and !i% to the rescue. 6e
sent some last year and more will be on
the way later this month.
Those sets will assist chess development in
the country ' they are currently ranked
73@th in the world.
"lready, some of the youngsters are
making spectacular progress.
7@=year old (#"#" (muho:a $ayola has
Aust won the #wanda 6omenBs
!hampionship and that puts her on top
board for the #wanda womenBs team at

.tBs a shame we havenBt been able to find a
photo of her.

second in the Cualifying event. The winner
of that Cualifier was an 77=year old boy ...

.oannis Halkias has a fascinating article in

He examined the 7?8 6orld
!hampionship games played so far this
century. .n a total of 8? games, 7 e0=e*
was used 03 times, while 7 d0=d* was
played 50 times. The results may surprise

The famous "rmenian chess player and
writer "shot &adanian once mentioned
that he can easily recall chess games
played some 0@ years ago, but cannot
remember his mobile phone number.
You will have to wait a few years in order
to test this for yourself HH

Tatiana Kosintseva:
' !an;t say . remember all my games, but .
surely remember what . played yesterday.
. think it is different for everybody, and a
strong player does not necessarily need
phenomenal memory. The theory is
developed very deeply these days, and
even a person with fantastic memory
cannot remember everything. y
everyday memory is nothing special.
Human memory is selective, otherwise life
would become a nightmare. 6e need to
be able to forget unfortunate things and
move on to new heights. 6e wish all the
best to our players and hope good
memory helps them to create some
exciting games.
arika !ronavalli:

' 6ell, . used to have a very good
memory. &ow it is not as good as some
years ago, but still it;s okay. %urely, . can
remember 5 out of 7@ gamesH !an;t say it
helps me much in everyday life, for
example . cannot remember all the
birthdays of my friends, but definitely the
brain becomes more exercised.
