With the Informant now in electronic form, the membership sees the only reason for paying dues is for the Tour. My proposal is to email out the newly released issue of the Informant and place only the previous issue online. So for instance, this issue would only be available to the membership by email and the previous issue would remain online until the January 2015 issue is released. So the membership would always have the most recent copy, not the internet public. A small point I know but something I think would add a little more value to your CSCA membership. Just something to consider. If you have something to say, remember that the CSCA has a Facebook page for just this type of discussions. With this issue of course is the feature on the Colorado Open, the largest tournament held in the state. Congratulations to Jesse Cohen for becoming the state champion! New elections for the Board of Directors was also held between the 4th and 5th rounds. Some new faces and some returning ones. Be sure to communicate with the Board members whether through the online Facebook forum or by email. This is also an added value of your membership dues, so utilize it to better chess in Colorado for all chess players. May Caissa be with you. Fred Eric Spell k In This Issue 3.

As your new CSCA President, thank you for your confidence in me. I will work hard to earn your respect. All Board meetings are open to our members and to the public. I believe in sharing information with you, our members, and will answer your questions (usually by email so we have records). I want to introduce your 2014-15 Board of Directors: Paul Covington, President; Joe Fromme, Jr., Vice President (Joe was selected to replace Brad Lundstrom, who resigned before the first Board meeting.); Shirley Herman, Treasurer; Jesse Cohen, Secretary (Joe Haines resigned his Secretary position for personal reasons. On behalf of the membership and board, thank you Joe for serving us for two years!); Brian Wall, Member at Large; and Jackson Chen, Junior Representative. I encourage all of our Colorado chess players to get involved in our effort to make Colorado chess the best in the USA. How can that be accomplished? Your ideas for improving our CSCA operations is one way. I have already started contacting chess clubs and meeting groups asking them, "How can the CSCA support you better?" If I haven't contacted you yet, then email me so we can have a conversation. I plan to put these suggestions into an article. Please send in your ideas so they can be shared. The Board has scheduled our first meeting for September 28th but we have already started working together approving several things. One that I have been trying to get started of some time is now official. The Colorado Chess Hall of Fame is officially sanctioned by the Board and is launching (Air Force talk). The first class will be inducted at the Colorado Open 2015. A committee to manage this process has been appointed and approved. A separate article with details is in this edition. We have been discussing the criteria for selecting the participants for the Colorado Closed (main and Scholastic) and hope to finalize that in time to be included in the edition. If we don't get that completed in time, that information will be posted after the board meeting on the website under President's Plate. Another way you may participate is emailing me ideas you want the board to add to the agenda. We may not be able to act on every idea but each idea will be considered. Vital to every organization is membership. Thank you to all who have renewed and paid your dues. To those who have not yet renewed, I encourage you to renew so we have a strong membership base and funds to implement activities for our members. Every President for some time has wanted to bring a National tournament to Colorado. I want to appoint a longterm committee to work this project. It is something that will take several years, require some serious funding, and require consistent effort to achieve. If you are interested in serving on this committee, email me. I will try to have summaries of Board action in every Informant. These will include the Minutes, Financial reports, and Board actions. Look at the President's Plate on the CSCA website for information in between issues of the Colorado Chess Informant. I will post information there regularly. Again,thank you for voting for me. Together, I hope we can make this a landmark year for Colorado chess! Paul Covington CSCA President Page 3

Page 4 2014 Colorado Open by Richard Buck Buchanan Chief Tournament Director This past Labor Day weekend was a great one for Colorado chessplayers, as our 158 player tournament was the most successful in decades. Things went smoothly. Registration was well handled by other members of the CSCA Board, and except for round 5, delayed a bit by the Membership Meeting, games started on time! I was delighted to see many old friends as well as the core of Colorado's strongest and many delightful young players. Jesse Cohen is the Colorado State Chess Champion, the only one to score 4.5 out of 5 points. Competition was fierce at the top: high-rated players were hit with draws and losses. Ryan Swerdlin won against both LM Brian Wall and Randy Canney, the two top masters. Only Jesse could score against Ryan; that was perhaps the secret of his success. Half a point behind the Champ were Zachary Bekkedahl, Gunner Andersen, Chris Peterson, Avinaya Subedi, and, of course, Ryan. Other prize winners were Rhett Langseth, Joshua Jex, Justin Alter, Isaac Martinez, and Kurt Kondracki. Longtime chess teacher Billy Willson was top rated in the U1800 section, and showed us why as he led throughout and took first place comfortably. Andy Wu, Matthew Zeller, and Akshat Jain followed him half a point back. The winners of U1600 money were Vibi Varghese and Anand Vissa. (Now there's a good first name for a chess player.) The sensation of the U1400 section was 7-year old Sullivan McConnell, who was the only one to enter the last round with a perfect 4-0. He did lose that one to tournament winner Evan Akhavan, but he still joined the pack for the next level of prize money. Others finishing with 4-1 were K.W. Cowin, Nelson Perez, and Shamik Bhat. Devon Wall won the class prize money along with Dan Renauer, so he was the family breadwinner for this occasion. Proud poppa, eh, Brian? Friday night we warmed up with the Colorado G/10 championship tournament, a 6 round affair with 40 players. The winner was Chris Peterson on a narrow tiebreaks lead over LM Brian Wall and Gunnar Andersen. Other money winners were Isaac Martinez, Dean Clow, Zhiji Li, Brady Barkemeyer, and William Wolf. The standings for this tournament can be found at www.tinyurl.com/lq5a8lv. So it was a great chess weekend. Yes, mistakes were made and corrected, but at the end we all have a memory of a tournament to be proud of. Like last year, a lot of people helped put it together, and we can only wait to see what the next one will look like! The final standings to the Colorado Open can be found at www.tinyurl.com/ntxzh4v.

The Sixth Edition of the Monument Open Page 8 by Fred Eric Spell Chief Tournament Director Another beautiful weekend in Palmer Lake in which 47 players arrived to play some combative chess. I can't thank everyone enough as it was a joy to hold this event. After the dust had settled, Jason Loving took home the Monument Open Stein (Trophy) as this years champion. Congratulations Jason! Once again I am indebted to Joe Fromme, Jr. for his invaluable help as he lessend the workload for me in running this event. I hope that everyone had a wonderful time. The Inn at Palmer Divide provides some of the best scenery in the state. With the success of this event I look forward to holding the seventh edition of this established tournament next year!

Knock knock. Who s there? 1300 Brian Wall. 1300 Brian Wall who? 25.Qc6# checkmate. 2. Anthea took advantage of Gunnar's time trouble with the mating net, 47.Rc8 Re8 48.Rxe8 d2 49.Rg8# 3. 29...Qxg4!! got a double exclam from Fritz 13. This move wins a rook. If 30.hxg4 Ng3+ forks the White king and queen. If 30.Qxd3 Qxh3# 4. 22.Qd3!! was missed in the game (White actually resigned in this position!) After this move, Black has no way to move the Black queen, and protect the back rank threat of Rf8#. 5. White has several good moves, but Chris found the computer s best move, the brilliant interference move 21.Bg7!! You can see Chris s annotations and analysis here: https://denverchess.com/games/viewpgn?id=5926 6. Congrats to Paul on being elected CSCA President! White has mate in 2 with 26.Rg7+ Kh8 27.Rxg6# 7. Brian has been having lots of fun playing "The Lemming" opening, 1...Na6, in Colorado in 2014. Here the Lemming Knight delivers a nice smothered mate with 28...Nf2+ 29.Kg1 Nxh3+ 30.Kh1 Qg1+ 31.Nxg1 Nf2# 8. Anthea somehow missed a mate in two and went for a perpetual check with Rf7+ Re7+ Rf7+, etc. Better was moving the rook anywhere on the e-file (d7 works also), forcing the king to g8, then back rank mating with Re8# such as 60...Rxe3+ 61.Kg8 Re8#. This was a pretty crazy game where Black was playing with three pieces against a queen, so was probably pretty mentally exhausted after 60 moves. 9. 40. Rxe7 removes the knight from defending the c8 square. 40...Kxe7 41.c8Q. Want more original chess tactics from real games like these? Get Tactics Time delivered straight to your e-mail inbox for FREE!

Page 16 Pikes Peak Open by Richard Buck Buchanan Chief Tournament Director The 2014 Pikes Peak Open went very well: 67 players, no floods, good accommodations in the Manitou Art Center (though the Manitou Springs City Hall is once again open for business, and we will be using it for the Winter Springs Open). It was a strong event, with the cutoff for first round pairings in the 1700 s. A lot of familiar faces were there, as well as some newcomers that added to the tournament. It was good to see New Mexico players and the Zeng family from Kansas. Gunnar Andersen won the tournament with a 5-0 sweep. He had help along the way, as young Justin Alter beat both LM Brian Wall and Chris Peterson, while Kurt Kondracki took points from David Mendoza (paired at 2184 based on his FIDE rating) and Dr. Carlos Santillan. Karl Irons of Pagosa Springs defended the other end of the age spectrum, scoring a clear second with 4.5 points, which included wins from Katie Wise and Avinaya Subedi. It was great to see the young McConnell boys at play, and they were very impressive. Note in particular the mature, creative game Sully won from Rebecca Herman, who has been playing very well in recent tournaments. We all had a good time, and things even finished at a decent hour. Much thanks to Natalie Johnson, manager of the Manitou Art Center, for all the help she gave us.

Page 22 Salute to Boris Spassky by Joseph A. Fromme, Jr. Tournament Organizer (Photos by Michael Wokurka) On July 19-20, 2014 we proudly launched our first Salute to Boris Spassky chess tournament. The players and weather were a joy and the Gentlemen s Chess Club record shattering paid attendance came in at a sweet 61. Expert Avinaya Subedi performed a perfect 4-0 to win the title of champion. I briefly spoke with Avinaya Subedi and am pleased to note that he enjoyed the tournament, especially the atmosphere. It was my personal pleasure to congratulate him, and award the 1 st place prize to such a courteous man. Also, performing a perfect 4-0 was the queen of the event, Anthea Carson. Anthea is simply a talented marvel and we always enjoy seeing her and the entire Martinez family. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Life Master Brian Wall took a first round ½ point bye, but did perform perfectly in his games 3-0 to take 2 nd prize overall. The U2100 Prize was split between Denton Dykes and Brad Lundstrom. The U200 Prize went to Dean Clow with the U1900 Prize to Clifton Ford. Aiden Marco took 2 nd in the U1800 section while Tim the big nice (wooden) chess set Kohler snatched the U1700 Prize. Samuel Dorchuck won the U1600 Prize with the serene Eugin Pahk placing first in the U1400 and Evan Akhvan scoring the 2 nd place. Proud father, Jordan Dorchuck, took first place in the U1300 Section. An entertainment of the tournament was the 168 move marathon game between Dean Clow and Kevin Seidler in round 2. The complex middlegame position was one of the most interesting positions I have ever seen, pieces and pawns strewn askew - all over the board. For several complete moves each side had a piece being attacked by an enemy pawn without moving. The game was exciting to sit and watch, but eventually Seidler s dark menacing forces seemed to be inexorably encroaching into White s comfort zone. As a typical Joe six pack spectator, I patiently awaited the inevitable Seidler victory. Dean the bulldog Clow, however, was not cooperating for all of us gawking armchair Grandmasters. Over the next one hundred moves I repeatedly seesawed between who would win, but, I was convinced someone would win. Pure entertainment indeed, but eventually after several hours, a draw was agreed upon. Thank you Kevin Seidler and Dean Clow for a very entertaining and well fought game. I am sincerely grateful to each and every player because of my tremendous admiration, respect, and affection for chess legend and honorable man, Boris Vasilievich Spassky. In the 1972 Match of the Century, Grandmaster Spassky endured more than little personal inconvenience due to many demands, however, his patience enabled revolutionary positive changes in modern chess evolution. He wins game one fair and square, he wins game two fair and square, albeit a forfeit which of course, is not his fault; and yet, political forces demand his immediate return to the Soviet Union. In the rarified stratosphere of honorable men, Grandmaster Spassky gave the only possible reply - NYET! He said, and I quote, Я приехал чтобы играть, я пришел чтобы выиграть, я не буду быть обманутыми! ( I came to play, I came to win, I will not be cheated! ). After losing the famous 1.c4 Game 6 (the pgn of which you can find on the back cover), he stood up and gladly led the standing ovation for his opponent. Grandmaster Spassky did not do this to look good, he did it because he wanted to, and that my friends is the difference! During the 1977 Candidates Matches in Reykjavik Iceland, Grandmaster Spassky became ill and was forced to take sick days off, yet this was not enough time in which to recover. His opponent Vlastimil Hort, of West Germany, used his own sick days in an effort to facilitate Grandmaster Spassky's recovery. Clearly, this shows a rare affection afforded to an opponent at the highest levels of chess, especially in the modern era. After living in France since 1978, Grandmaster Spassky returned to Moscow for the 2013 Tal Memorial Chess Tournament and was received with a standing ovation. Applause from Russian citizens in Moscow. One does not buy that kind of love. It is called Karma. Grandmaster Boris Vasilievich Spassky earned it!

Pawns of Fate Part II by Tana Lorenz Robert arrived home to find a small box on his doorstep. It was a small unassuming package wrapped in white butchers paper. Picking it up he looked for sender information. He nearly dropped it when he saw the heavy scribbled writing that was on the note found in Ray s pocket. As he righted the little box, he heard distinctive clinking. Easing the package back onto the covered step, Robert retreated to his car dialing the number for the detective with shaking fingers. Hours later Robert sat blankly starring at two chess pieces. Both handmade, made back in his younger years when he made his own glass pieces. His own white gloved hands wrapped around the smooth-opaque glass. The white queen he had given to Margret s son, Leland, when he was just a boy of maybe nine years old. That son was grown, now closer to thirty than twenty years old. The white king was the last piece he had made; Robert had given it to his newest student Evan. The monster had both of them both of his boys. The police were right. This was personal for him. Robert s thoughts turned back to Evan, who had never made it home from school. Leland, poor Leland, his apartment showed signs of a struggle. He had fought hard but still lost. Worse than that Leland s neighbors had not seen him in weeks! Thoughts assaulted Robert. Maybe Leland had been taken before Margret and he had not been found yet. Robert berated himself as he sat at the steel table clutching the little chess pieces tights. He should have checked in on Leland more. How well do you know Leland Fletcher? The detective rubbed her eyes tiredly; they had just gone over these questions about Evan. He is was Margret s only child. What about his father? At this question Robert flushed. Margret never told anyone who his father is. I have my suspicions as does everyone else, but she always avoided answering any inquires. What were your suspicions? That question brought everything back for Robert. When Robert did not speak, the detective pushed forward. Do you think he is your son? There it was. The question hit the nail on the head. Robert has suspected it for years. He often pressed Margret but she neither confirmed nor did she deny it. If he was or if he wasn t died with her, but he couldn t think about that anymore. I thought maybe, well I had hoped. I never did settle down, never had a family. Margret never had any serious relationships, so when she showed up six months along, saying it all happened after a heavy night of drinking... after he was born I tried to be there as much as I could. Margret never objected or told me it wasn t my responsibility, but again she never really encouraged it. I wasn t there enough! Robert wanted to rake his hands over his face, he wanted to fall to his knees and pray, but he couldn t. All he could do was stare at the crowns of the pieces peaking up out of the tops of his hands. Looking back at the detective there was sympathy in her eyes. Malice threw the book he was reading across the room. His frustration peaked again as he watched the boy, Evan, refused to touch the chess pieces. The small sliver of his humanity told him it was because the boy was to terrified too think coherently. The adults understood the terms; beat Malice and go free. Evan just sat in the corner blubbering in a whiny voice about how his father would pay any ransom amount. Money was the last thing on Malice s mind. He wanted revenge. Money doesn t buy the satisfaction doing it yourself gets you. If Evan wasn t going to play he would have to change the game. Maybe it was time the old man finally got involved. Roughly, Malice gagged the boy and threw him into a large wooden crate. With his hands and feet bound, he wouldn t be going anywhere. Malice had to go find himself the ultimate player. Robert arrived home in a daze. Evan and Leland were missing, and he felt responsible. He was the root of whatever evil had befallen them. Mechanically Robert threw a TV dinner in the microwave and poured himself a glass of water. When the microwave beeped completion however, Robert was no longer around to eat his meal. Robert came back into consciousness in the back of a moving vehicle. He discovered his hands were tied behind his back and his feet were bound at the ankles. A gag was tied tightly around his head. Oh good, you are awake. I was a little afraid I had hit you too hard. The man in the front seat laughed. Robert s blood ran cold. That was the voice that had taunted him the day Ray was taken. But now recognition made him want to weep. Leland, he was the monster who had killed his own mother, and he had killed Ray. I am sure you are wondering why I have done all of this. Leland chimed from the front seat; there was smugness in his voice. You abandoned me, you ignored me, and you took the only person in my life away from me! Now I am going to take everyone away from you, old man. The van fell silent as Leland stopped talking. He was going to have his revenge at long last. Leland was surprisingly strong as he lifted Robert from the back of the van in a fireman s lift. The building looked like a long abandoned two story structure. As they made their way through the building, he noted that Leland had been living there, and he had been making something, probably the poison that had killed Ray; and that would kill him. Home sweet home, Leland announced in a singsong voice. Now I can tell you my terms. Leland set Robert down in a metal chair, removed the gag then leaned back onto a wooden barrel with a chessboard all ready to play. The rules are fairly simple, beat me at a game and I will let the boy go. Beat me in a rematch and you get to go. Leland gestured mildly to the board behind him then to a bound up Evan who was still crying. What if I don t win? Will you kill us both? Robert asked hoarsely. If you lose? Are you that out of practice old man? Lose and I will cut the boys throat in front of you. Is that real enough? Leland sneered at Robert and then turned his icy stare on Evan. The poor boy was beyond comprehending what was going on Page 30

around him. What do you think Evan, is that an agreeable term? When he didn t get a response he snarled, Do we have a deal? Robert looked up at Leland and realized there was no way around playing his deadly game. I ll play but I feel like I am making a deal with the devil. Robert replied dejectedly. Any funny business and I will kill the boy, then you. Leland growled in Roberts s ear before cutting the bond around his hands. Robert s mind reeled trying to find a way around the deadly match. Deep down he knew that even if he won, he and Evan would die. Leland was no longer the innocent child who had sat on his knee while learning to play chess. The game begun slowly, each player feeling for the others skill; Robert realized how much better Leland had gotten, and with a sinking feeling knew he couldn t beat him. His dark musing was interrupted when his finger brushed against his White queen, the finish was off and it was coated in a fine powder. That is how he was going to die; Leland had poisoned the chess pieces. But then the thought occurred to him, if he could get the piece in Leland s hand his poison scheme would backfire. Robert followed that train of thought for a few moments, wondering if he could make it work, and realized he had no idea what the poison was or how it worked. Leland finally settled his knight. He grinned at Robert. Looking down, it dawned on him. Leland had placed him in the position, in which he was forced to move his queen to take the knight, or he would lose. His left hand tightened on the metal chair and a sharp edge poked his finger. A small glimmer of hope flared in Robert. Ray had left his small pocket knife tucked into the edge of the rolled metal chair. Brain storming, he twisted his head to the left and right, he needed to buy a few moments of time to put a plan together. His ankles were still tied, but if he could find a way to slice Leland and shove the poisoned piece at the wound, he could try and cut the ropes away. He would have to be fast. Once Leland realized his intentions, he would only have seconds to get free, grab Evan, and run with the boy. I m waiting old man, make your move. Robert almost laughed at the duel meaning of the statement Leland uttered. With his right hand Robert flicked the knife open, while his left edged closer to the poisoned piece. Leland s fingers twitched as Robert s own closed around the piece. Robert delicately gripped it by the crown. With speed accelerated by adrenaline Robert lunged, knife aimed for Leland s neck. His attack surprised the younger man, but Robert missed the main arteries in the neck. It made Robert s stomach heave when the left hand came in contact with the warm blood that ran from the cut as he ran the powdered queen over his opponents wound. Leland roared as he pushed himself back, toppling the chair. Robert dropped the queen and went to work on the rope that bound his ankles; somehow he managed to get it free before Leland disengaged himself from the mess he had made. For extra measure Robert upset the barrel that held the chess board. Robert hefted the terrified boy up, and ran, Leland s screams of anger echoing behind them. Breaking through a door that led into the alley, he made one quick circuit to reorient himself to the neighborhood and realized they weren t that far from the interstate. Now Robert wasn t sure which one, but the interstate meant people, which meant help. Shifting Evan, Robert took off at a pace he knew he couldn t keep for long. Luck was on his side. When he rounded the corner he was confronted by four police officers and the detective. Relief flooded him as she stepped forward to take the boy. I had a feeling you may get yourself in trouble. Fortunately for you, I was right. As she spoke all four burly patrol officers came out with an irate, handcuffed Leland. Robert sighed in relief as they buckled Leland into the back of an awaiting cruiser, but that relief was quickly swamped by grief. It turned out he had the family he had always wanted, but just like that he had lost it. The feeling grew as Evan was wrapped in a blanket by paramedics and returned to his tearful parents. I am sorry for your loss, Mr. Morrison. The detective patted his arm sympathetically. Thank you, Robert shook his head. After everything that has happened, I will understand if you say no, but I have to ask: are you taking on any new chess students? Startled, Robert looked down at the detective and smiled, That is what I do best, detective. I am glad you said that. Call me Laura from now on. I am your new student, and I can t wait to learn. k Article sponsored by the Gentlemen's Chess Club (Part I can be found in the July 2014 issue of the Colorado Chess Informant) Page 31

Opposite Side Castling by NM Todd Bardwick (Reprinted with permission of the Author, the United States Chess Federation & Chess Life magazine.) In the July 2014 edition of the Colorado Chess Informant, we looked at some examples of attacking the king when the players castle on opposite sides of the board. Now it s your turn to attack the king when it is on the opposite side of the board of your king. Remember it is a race to the king, so don t waste any time! (Answers are on the next page.) Position after 25...Qf6 White to Move Position after 16.Bf3 #1 #2 #3 Black to Move Position after 24...Nc4 (from b2) White to Move Position after 21...Qc7 White to Move Position after 21...Nh5 #4 #5 #6 White to Move Position after 22.Qb3 Black to Move Page 32

#1 This position occurred between Shakhrivar Mamedyarov and Pavel Tregubov in 2006 in Reykjavik, Iceland. White has forced Black to push some of his queenside pawns forwards, exposing his king. Black is ahead a couple pawns if he survives the attack and is trying to chase the rook off the 7 th rank. White forced matters by playing, 26.Rxd7! Rxd7 27.Rd1 Rd8 28.Qa4 Resigns. The only way to safely defend the rook again is 28...Qe7 which is met by 29.Qc6+. #4 This position took place in 1999 in Canberra, Australia between David Lucky and Narelle Szuveges. White has the initiative and a safe king. He finds a combination to break in leaving Black all pinned up by playing, 22.Nxb7! Qxb7 23.Rxc6 Rxc6 24.Nxd4 Nxe5 25.Bf4 Resigns. #2 Both players are close to the other s king and every tempo counts! Black played, 16...Nxd4! 17.Qxd4 (17.Bxd4 b3! wins for Black.) 17...b3! 18.Qc4 (18.a3, then 18...bxc2 and Black has too many threats) 18...bxa2 19.Resigns (19.Qxa2 Nb3+ wins the queen.) This game was played in Denver in 1996 between Josh Bloomer and Jack Maynes. #5 This is one of Fischer s famous exchange sacrifice positions against Bent Larsen in Portoroz, Slovania, 1958. White breaks in with 22.Rxh5! gxh5 23.g6 e5 24.gxf7+ Kf8 25.Be3 d5 (If Black pushes forward with his attack by playing, 25...a4, then 26.Qxd6+ Re7 27.Qd8+! Rxd8 28.Rxd8+ Re8 29.Bc5+ Qxc5 30.Rxe8 mate.) 26.exd5 Rxf7 27.d6 Rf6 28.Bg5 Qb7 29.Bxf6 Bxf6 30.d7 Rd8 31.Qd6+ Resigns. #3 Like the previous problem, both sides are close to breaking through. White sacrifices the exchange to slow down Black s attack and break in first with 25.Rxc4! bxc4 26.Qf4 Rf8 (26...e6 or 26...e5 is met by 27.Qf6 with mate to follow.) 27.Bf6! (A nice move, clearing the g5 square for the queen. Black does all he can in desperation, but runs out of pieces.) 27...Rb1+ 28.Kxb1 Qb6+ 29.Bb2 Qg1+ 30.Ka2 Bb3+ 31.cxb3 cxb3+ 32.Bxb3 Resigns. This game was between Renard Anderson and Sepp Hochreiter, in Denver in 1999. #6 Black had better act quickly as White threatens 23.Qb7 mate. He not only escapes mate, but succeeds in his attack though a series of forcing checks by playing, 22...Rdh8! 23.Be6 Rh1+ 24.Kg2 R8h2+ 25.Kf3 Rf2+ 26.Kg4 Rh4+ 27.Kg5 Rh5+ 28.Kg4 Nxe3+ 29.Kxg3 Rg2+ 30.Kf3 Rh3+ 31.Bxh3 Qxh3 mate. This nice finish took place in Paris, France, in 1878, between Samuel Rosenthal and Johannes Zukertort. k NM Todd Bardwick is the author of Chess Strategy Workbook: A Blueprint for Developing the Best Plan.

Volume 41, Number 4 Colorado Chess Informant Colorado Chess Hall of Fame Founded by Paul Covington to honor the players who have significantly contributed to our colorful Colorado chess history and to educate our many young chess players about our rich Colorado chess heritage. Anyone may nominate a person whom they believe had or is having a significant impact on Colorado chess. The nominated person does not have to be a current Colorado resident or member of the CSCA. When you nominate someone, please provide details about the person, their contribution to Colorado chess and other information that you may have (game scores, newspaper articles, etc.) and how you believe they contributed to Colorado chess. A five member committee will receive the nominations, research the individuals, write the narratives, and then rank order the individuals based on their contributions to Colorado chess. Joining Randy Canney, (Chairman), will be Brad Lundstrom (Vice Chairman), Todd Bardwick (Historian), Joe Haines (Committee Member) and Katie Wise (Committee Member). The candidates who qualify for induction into the Colorado Chess Hall of Fame will be inducted during the Colorado Open each year. Additionally, the inductees will have their narratives with game scores and photos (when available), posted in the Hall of Fame webpage on the Colorado State Chess Association's website ().
