Why Does My Dog Get Warts?

A combination aesthetically exceptional

I want to explain a game which - in my opinion - illustrates well what is the intrinsic beauty of chess. Beauty and serendipity, or find combianzione unexpectedly while you are looking for more. In this case, the connotations of the combination are so special that we can really talk about work of art. White was definitely the player with a strong player and so Black has certainly made some strategic errors, but the incredible series of moves that leads to the final mad he could not reside a priori in the mind of Edward Lasker, or only result from its intentions: it was there, in the game of chess. Michelangelo Buonarroti claimed as "the work and already in the marble, I do I just leave."

" have come to the conclusion that not all of the artists are chess players, but that all chess players are artists. " (Marcel Duchamp)

Marcel Duchamp

" A chess game is a visual and plastic thing, and if it is geometric in a static sense of the word, is at least mechanically, as it is something that moves and is a drawing, a mechanical reality . The pieces are beautiful in themselves, any more than it is game, but what is beautiful - if the word "beautiful" can be used - is the movement. So it's just a mechanical, in effect, for say, a Calder. In chess there are certainly things very beautiful part of the movement, but certainly not in the visual field. And 'the imagination of movement or gesture that gives the beauty, in this case. This is something that takes place entirely in the gray matter.

1.e4 e5 This is' one of the most 'beautiful chess games of Morphy. The famous game played in the range of' opera The Barber of Seville , hence the name Barber failure of the equally famous for combining elements where White gives mate in a few moves with the Woman on f7, and that in this game is simply threatened the 6th stroke.

This game allows me to illustrate various strategic elements and the accuracy: the importance of
1) to develop his pieces quickly
2) save time and take the initiative
3) Keep a check on the center
4) attach a piece nailed
5) using an open column and use the diagonals to enable the most of the pieces.

2.Nf3 d6 Philidor Defense

Bg4 3.d4 The horse is immobilized

4.dxe5 Axf3 5.Dxf3 dxe5 Note how the same material, we are moving back to white. Imagine that, disposed of the same pieces on both sides - the pedestrians, the horse and the lieutenant - have been the moves 1.e4 e5 2.Df3, now it does concern to black and white, this means saving of time .

6.Ac4 and threatening to take the initiative .. crazy .. the famous idiot Barber

7.Db3 6 ... Nf6!

If Black responds such a move .. a6? takes its mate in two moves. [ 7 ... a6? 8.Axf7 + Scacco 8 ... # RE7 9.De6 Fool]

7 ... Qe7 With this move, as well as defend themselves from mad Queen makes black also taken of the possible problems b7 pawn by the White Queen. For if the woman takes the white pawn, following the failure to b4 and the forced return of women.

8.Cc3 d5 is a key to the White House - four of his pieces already control it, if Black allows him the White House will support this with his pieces to fill and making it a strategic outpost.

8 ... c6 The key concept of the house is not immune to attempts to prevent black to white to use it as an outpost. Keep an eye on the house key in your games and direct your pieces and pawns to them. This is a good strategy whether you are on proc is to defend you. (With the push c6 Black defends the pawn on b7 also directly with her as the Queen of the counter-check to the king in b4 the black woman is no longer possible.)

9.Ag5 The horse is immobilized . The range of Alfa in g5 extends to the house d8. It will have a crucial role in the final infattti of this game.

9 ... b5? The White decided to sell a piece in exchange for two pawns and a strong attacco.Solo a strong player can adopt this strategy. So it's a good idea to revisit the part of a strong player: you can learn new tricks.

10.Cxb5! cxb5 11.Axb5 + check by this time the White keeps the initiative and will not repent of his choice.

11 ... Cbd7 The horse covers the setback but remains immobilzzato: nailed. White does not let the chance to secure the Black King with castling nor to develop his pieces. Black is too busy difenderesi.

12.0-0-0! Attach a piece nailed is a good strategy nine times out of ten. In addition, the White King was taken to safety. A strategic move that satisfies two principles at once is a good move.

12 ... TD8 pieces blacks Note: Bishop and Rook on h8 unused, locked in the other tower defense, Horses and the Queen pinned with little scope.

13.Txd7! sacrifice of quality: a rook for a knight.

Txd7 13 ... The Dark Tower enters a nailing and remains immobilized. What will be the next move for White? Remember that attacking a piece nailed down, and 'a good idea nine times out of ten?

14.Td1! The White attacks and wins the pinned piece openly. The White man who had sacrificed the quality now takes over the Tower.

14 ... DE6 The Black Queen try restoring mobility to respond to his white horse to take the bishop after the capture of the Dark Tower. After this move White has provided a combination not easy to see and understand at first sight.

15.Axd7 + CHECK Notice how all the white pieces are in play. Black continues to have two pieces not developed. The rapid development of pieces and 'an important element in the strategy of' opening.

15 ... Cxd7 White has now facing what is the ultimate goal of chess strategy: the combination of checkmate. Women in Chess b8!

16.Db8 + The Horse Capture the Queen

Cxb8 and 16 ... .. d1 in the piece ends the game.

17.Td8 # INSANE! 1-0

Happy 2009 to all!

been more than four months since the last time, not just arrived in Genoa, I wrote something.

months have been intense, filled with tennis, just as I like, in the past to understand how to give my best to the project that I was sharing with leaders in the middle of Liguria and Leo Caperchi.

In this period I have not written anything because I wanted to understand, I wanted to learn more about the colleagues with whom I was starting this adventure and above all I wanted to know and make known to me by the boys and girls that I was going to coach.

So, as a tennis player tackles a match, using his routine, I have dealt with this commitment is important to follow my rules. And that is why the most recent period than to spend many hours a day in the field with our athletes, I have "exchanged" very much with Leo and the other teachers who make up the team of Valletta.

I did not want to write, I did not feel the need, I was "eating", I was still far from the "digestion".

Taking advantage of the Christmas holidays, I was able to think and analyze everything we have done better over the last quarter and I must say I am very pleased with how we started and we are creating the foundation.

Ligurian leaders, whom I thank for the estimation show that to me, are Fans of the first sports project that is being carried out in Valletta.

dialogue between us teachers is clear, following inputs from that Leonardo, but it also goes out or whenever you notice that over quell'atleta this or other situations need to prove technical and / or tactics.

The boys match with great passion and commitment. They are aware of the project that concerns them, they know that you are following a line that is consistently explained.

Parents who live with their children this great growth, which offers competitive tennis, they can see them grow, especially with clarity and knowledge. So

seem strange, but in Italy where to begin in the news, you can only hear bad almost everything (... perhaps there remains only the Ferrari! ... :-), Valletta, the island can be considered happy where you work for the courts of our athletes with skill and passion.

I do to all tennis fans the best wishes for a Happy 2009,

peaceful and especially full of tennis!

Best wishes to all!

the next

Nothing to do: the first win and win against ourselves. And after this first victory, we can already begin to have a winning mentality, why do we overcome our faults, and yet we have not beaten any team.

The second step is to win against the difficulties , which is another thing to us, because when I speak I speak of the limits of our personal limitations, in addition to the team, does not reduce in general. Then there are other difficulties of any kind that we resolve that we must beat. Our team is now internationally known for a fact that seems trivial, but it is not: we are famous why do not you ever complain. seems little, but not cheap. You can check all the newspapers from 89 now, not ever after a defeat that we say: "It was the time zone, we had a player with indigestion, we slept badly, the referee ..." Never. I did not say never. Why? Because even this behavior is part of the winning mentality. Anyone can explain why we did not manage to do one thing, few are able to do it anyway. And this must be overcome even small difficulties. For example, we are one of the few Italian teams that when they go abroad you do not bring back spaghetti, olive oil, ham, coffee machine. .. They say: "Poor things! If you do not have spaghetti for lunch get depressed," but after you have to play against Brazil twenty-five thousand, screaming from beginning to end, and there we should not depressing, because we are hard, we win. For other things but we are not so hard. It's a little 'how to prepare the army for the war, according to a five-star hotel: "We are in a five-star hotel so when we go to war we are in better physical condition." I do not think that this happens. The transition from the mud of the training is still very difficult to shoot real, but at least we're used to mud is something. So we do not bring the spaghetti, do not we train in ideal places. because if we train where it's always cool, then when we play Cuba, which is warm, we lose. Instead we must win, and where it's cold where it's warm, sempre.Non able to overcome the difficulties leading to what I call the "culture of excuses", ie the attempt to attribute the reason for our failure to something which does not depend on us. It usually goes back to very big things, structural, historical, gender characteristics of the people ("We Italians are like that, they are in the chromosomes, and then there is nothing to do"). But the culture of alibi also uses more mundane explanations. In volleyball, for example, this occurs: the Spiker, which receives the ball a bit 'disconnected from the network and pulls out, said the shortstop "Please close the ball, the shortstop, who in turn received ball a little detached and raised wrong, turned around and said to Receiving "Guys, the reception!", one that has received the ball from the adversary can not say "Beat it easier," then says "That light gives me in ' eye, "then I have to call the electrician, instead of coaching. By adopting the culture of alibi eliminates the possibility of using the feedback, which is the basis
learning.

The third level of victory is to win against opponents , and here comes the problem of quality, our own and others, and the measurement problem. In this sense, the statistics we need not to trust the simple impressions and also to measure what we need to improve.

Quality research does not mean the pursuit of perfection, because that idea of \u200b\u200bperfection is the loser, for the simple reason that you can not reach it. If they claim perfection, we obtain the result that the player, seeing that it fails, it begins to be regarded negatively, because it does not reach the obiettivoche we gave him. One of the tasks of a real coach is able to identify where improvement is needed among all those who are playing decisive victory. This means setting priorities, and I think it's one of the hardest things to do . but setting priorities is the only way to steer the process that leads to victory. Of all the flaws of the players need to identify three. and those necessary to "hammer", as long as you do not get the breakthrough. while others touch them. but we can not expect the same level for all 10 applicazione.Vorrei also say something about the method. a method, without the specific knowledge, deeper than what one does, is an empty box. We as a team we have applied a method, but the real reason for we made a quantum leap is that the team plays better, and why should a team play better knowing that her volleyball coach, before psychology, and other methods. It must therefore be the method, but above all the knowledge. Julio Velasco
