Message: "The Bright Side of Chess" (if memory serves) features games with peculiar constellations of knights like this. One game I recall (whatever the source) had the knights occupying the central squares of one of the long diagonals, then shortly afterwards occupying the centre 4 squares. Don't recall any other details from the game... Cheers, Ion ——— Kamsky Defends U.S. Chess Title — It was deja vu all over again for Gata Kamsky as he carved through the field of his opponents with relative ease and defended his title at the 2011 U.S. Chess Championship in St. Louis. Miss, this week. The 36-year-old world championship candidate defeated GM Yuri Shulman, 35, in the final match 1.5 - 0.5. From the $170,000 total prize fund, Kamsky brings home $42,000, Shulman gets $30,000. In the battle for third place between two 19-year old chess players, GM-elect Samuel Shankland beat GM Robert Hess 2-1. The top four chess players qualified from two 8-player preliminary groups. The field included 14 grandmasters and two International Masters. The 2011 Women's Chess Championship went to ...

Shankland lost to Gata Kamsky, 36, the defending champion, while Hess was beaten by Yuri Shulman, 35 (who will be 36 on Friday), the 2008 champion. In a reprise of last year’s final, Kamsky and Shulman will play for the title on Tuesday and Wednesday. The winner will earn $40,000, while the runner-up will receive $30,000. Hess and Shankland will play for third place, which ...

DK: After the splendid chaos of the King's Gambit, we turn to the purity of pawn endgames. It's worthwhile studying pawn endgames as their shadow lies behind every other kind of endgame that we play in chess. This may be a constructed position, but it illustrates highly practical themes. RB: The first move is obvious: 1 Kc3, gaining the diagonal opposition. But I'm making the move instinctively when what I really need is a plan. Am I trying to queen my a-pawn or my h-pawn? Or do I make a feint on one flank, then dash to the other wing? At the very point when precision is most needed, I often ...
