hello guys,i have been analysing my games and when i came to this position. I couldn't understand it so used a chess engine to evaluate this position: it is black to move, the computer evaluates -7.00 which is certainly black is winning but i don't know how to play and win in the position.Any ideas/suggestion on how should black win here? any ideas are appreciated. thanks in advance.

Mas madali pala kung mag-open ka na lang ng Debit Mastercard sa BPI, BDO or Metrobank. 120 pesos lang ang maintaining balance. You can deposit enough amount so you can purchase anything in the internet safely. The requirements are only 2 valid IDs. And the other thing you can do so is to win in the Live Blitz championship. Libre pa. :)

It's about us this time. Show your best game and everyone can give their views and opinions, even some analysis on any given game. Let's have fun. We may learn a thing or two.

Dear Kabarangays please post here your nomination for the 2012 Olympiad Selection. 2 things, the method of choosing the players or your choice of players. Mine for example is: To select the 5 members, the 4 shall be selected by Elo ranking and 1 player (must be a GM) to be selected/seeded by NCFP. My line-up: 1. So 2. Barbosa 3. Antonio 4. Sanchez Depending on their FIDE Elo rating before the Olympiad, Paragua, Laylo, Gomez and the others have still a chance to catch up. I suggest Eugenio Torre to be the nominee for 4th/5th board and playing team-captain. What's your take?

Starting Out Sicilian Scheveningen by IM Craig Pritchett (The Scheveningen is an uncompromising and flexible variation of Black's most popular defence to 1 e4, the Sicilian. It's a firm favourite of the world's greatest ever chess player, Garry Kasparov, who used it many times in crucial games, including his world championship matches against Anatoly Karpov and Vishy Anand. His success rate against Karpov was so good that the former world champion was forced to abandon his normal first move to avoid it!)Starting Out: The Sicilian 2nd Edition by GM John Emms (This is an updated and largely expanded edition of Starting Out: The Sicilian, the highly acclaimed guide to the most popular and famous opening in chess. In this user-friendly book, Grandmaster John Emms goes back to basics, studying the fundamental principles of the Sicilian Defence and its many variations. Throughout the book there are an abundance of notes, tips, warnings and exercises to help the improving player, while key strategies, ideas and tactics for both sides are clearly illustrated.The greatest attraction of the Sicilian is that it allows Black to unbalance the position and play for a win, without having to take any unjustified risks. Its many variations range from the super-solid Scheveningen to the dangerous and ultra-sharp Dragon. For those playing Black it should be easy to find one that suits your style, while those playing White can choose from the range of options given against each line.)Play the Grunfeld by IM Yelena Dembo(In Play the Grünfeld, Yelena Dembo produces a comprehensive and yet workable repertoire for Black, offering a solution against each of White’s tries)Chess Opening Essentials: The Ideas and Plans Behind All Chess Openings- Volume 1: The Complete 1.e4 by GM Stefan Djuric, GM Dimitry Komarov and IM Claudio Pantaleoni (Winner of the Italian Chess Federation’s Golden Award! An accessible primer and opening reference book, providing es sential knowledge on all chess openings. It explains the basic plans and ideas for both black and white. It gives beginners the ability to choose the openings that suit their style and taste, and gives club players the opportunity to test and review their opening repertoire. Chess Opening Essentials gives a flavour of how a particular opening works, with pointers in the right direction if you wish to explore further.) An Attacking Repertoire for White by IM Sam Collins (Players who want to go on the attack will find here a complete, aggressive repertoire based on 1e4. Fifty-one model games-all recent and never before annotated in chess literature-form the guide's core, and show how to handle the broad range of attacking positions arising from the recommended lines. With the underlying theory so clearly explained, chess mavens will understand exactly why to place the pieces on certain squares in the given structure.) The Scotch Game Explained by IM Gary Lane (used to brilliant effect by Garry Kasparov and numerous imitators, the Scotch Game is one of the most popular openings among today's club players. The Scotch Game Explained, unlike most openings books, offers a back-to-basics approach tailored to novices and intermediate players. Clear and detailed in its explanation of the pros and cons of each move, it gives the reader fundamental insights into the underlying principles of opening strategy--and takes the burgeoning new player one giant step closer to true mastery of chess)Chess Explained The C3 Sicilian by IM Sam Collins (If you play 2.c3 or want to play the 2.c3, this becomes a must own. But Sicilian players who hate facing 2.c3 will also find it helpful in choosing a way to meet this system)Essential Chess Endings by GM James Howell (Knowledge of the endgame is a vital area in chess, and many points are lost through an insufficient understanding of its basic principles. Here, for the aspiring player, a concentration on typical endings likely to occur in practice; rook endings which appear regularly in tournaments; even the often neglected and comparatively simple king and pawn endings.)My Best Games of Chess, 1908 - 1937 by GM Alexander Alekhine (One of chess’s great inventive geniuses presents his 220 best games, with fascinating personal accounts of the dazzling victories that made him a legend. Includes historic matches against Capablanca, Euwe, and Bogoljubov.

Throughout, the emphasis is on what the reader can learn from each game, so the book is ideal study material for those seeking to progress to a higher level of chess understanding. There is also entertainment in abundance: Nunn has a direct aggressive style, and many of his opponents in these games are ambitious young grandmasters from the generation inspired by Kasparov's dynamic chess. The book also includes all of John Nunn's compositions - problems and studies - with full solutions.)Simple Chess by GM Michael Stean (This introduction to chess strategy is aimed primarily at players for whom a game plan is utterly enigmatic.By isolating the basic elements and illustrating them through a selection of Master and Grand Master games, Simple Chess breaks down the mystique of strategy into plain, easy-to-understand ideas.More than a lesson in fundamentals, it illustrates an increasing prevalent style of play, a method that begins by slowly accumulating small, permanent advantages, saving the outright attack for later )Zurich International Chess Tournament 1953 by GM David Bronstein (this is simply the greatest tournament book ever written and it deserves to be in every self-respecting chess library)Winning with the Kan by GM Ali MortazaviNew Ideas in the Nimzo-Indian by GM Tony Kosten

MANILA, Philippines – Filipino chess players Oliver Barbosa and Richard Bitoon were officially conferred their Grandmaster (GM) titles in 82nd FIDE Congress 2011 in Krakow, Poland. Barbosa was conferred the title on the basis of his performance in the DYTM Raja Dr. Nazrin Shah Invitational Masters at the Swiss Garden Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last September. He bagged the overall title in the tournament. Barbosa, who is scheduled to compete in the upcoming Southeast Asian Games in Indonesia, credited his success to the support given by the National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP). Bitoon, on the other hand, earned his 3rd and final GM norm in the same tournament. Barbosa and Bitoon are now ranked among the country’s roster of GMs, which includes Eugene Torre, Rogelio “Joey” Antonio Jr., Buenaventura “Bong” Villamayor, Nelson Mariano II, Mark Paragua, Wesley So, Darwin Laylo, Jayson Gonzales, John Paul Gomez, Joseph Sanchez, Roland Salvador, Rogelio “Banjo” Barcenilla Jr., Julio Catalino Sadorra and the late Rosendo Balinas Jr. The country now has a total of 16 GMs. – By Marlon Bernardino http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/sports/11/01/11/2-pinoys-get-grandmaster-titles
