Dedicated to all children
with Christian, who is learning the basics of chess, we saw the other day, this great video on youtube . It 's really a beautiful movie and music (Edward Grieg: in the den of the Mountain King ) properly emphasizes the pathos of this game that springs from a English (Ruj Lopez) closed (Worrall attack 6.De2) . Enjoy and have fun.
liked the show? Real nice!? I tracked down the game in question. This is the match Roesch - Willi Schlage, played in Hamburg in 1910 filled romantic spirit (in a Tower a8 not to be taken with the woman refuses ever .. but then helplessly watch the unfolding of a spectacular combination that leads to checkmate !).
the Ve propose again below so you can review more calmly and with wider vision than plastic so moved well made animation claymation, to enjoy with your mind what you have enjoyed with your eyes.
" Chess is the art that expresses the beauty of logic " Botvinnik
A curiosity: this game has been used and modified by Stanley Kubrick for the film " 2001 A Space Odyssey "for the game between the astronaut Frank Poole and HAL-9000 Super Computer.
to grips with my young students
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2010 to all chess!
