Sharanya Iyengar at the age of 10 got selected in Kenya's women's team which recently participated in Chess Olympics in Istanbul . Such selection is in itself surprising but still more surprising was her performance as she scored 6/10 points. Maximum for any player from Kenya. She won 4 games ( including one walk over ) and drew 4 games losing only 2 games. Though most of time they were playing lower boards but she got 4 FIDE rated opponents and scored 1.5 / 4 with rating performance of around 1650.<br />

Most of them were few years older and some of them already had FIDE ratings. But Prabhanjan played very well and scored 4 / 5 points ! Good effort by him. He finished fourth. He is improving quickly in spite of the fact that he rarely gets chance to play OTB chess and only playing chess on net.<br />
If he gets chance to play regularly he is sure to become a strong player in his age group.<br />

So Morphy taught this monkey to to play with weaker players. Once an English player was playing chess with this monkey while Morphy was in an other room. Suddenly he heard monkey screaming and rushed back to room. He saw that monkey was sitting on ceiling fan and was screaming. "<em>What's the matter</em> ", he asked the player. " <em>I am really sorry</em> ", said player "<em>He check-mated me and I was so upset that I hit him in anger</em>". "<em>Please ask him to play another game I promise not to touch him again</em>", English man pleaded. Monkey was reluctant to play with him but agreed to play when Morphy offered him a banana. After some time Morphy again heard monkey's shout and saw that he was again hanging from fan. Morphy turned to other player. "<em>I did not touch him and don't know what happened </em>", replied Englishman " <em>after making his last move he started screaming for no reason</em>". Morphy looked at the board and said "<strong>Oh, he saw this mate in three combination and was afraid you might hit him again</strong>". </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

In under - 10 Girls category Sharanya Iyengar ( last year's U-8 champion ) won the title with 4.5/5 points. But last year's U-8 boy's champion Sumit could not retain first place and got only IV place. New champion is Ritvik. Sumit's elder sister Sanjana won a trophy in her category. Here we see young champions with their trophies.<br />
<br />

In most cases ( but not always ) boy's champion is about 100-200 points stronger compared to girl's champion in their age group. But Sharanya is at least 300 points ahead of Ritvik in U-10. In fact Ritvik keeps his game very simple and does not lose his pieces easily as you can see in case of Sumit or other players of his age. But he needs to play much stronger if he wants to compete in international tournaments. <br />

She played in U-9 girls and got 8th place with 5.5 points. It must be one of the best performance by an African chess player in any tournament at world level. This cute little girl has become a flag bearer of Kenya's chess team. <br />
Here is her seventh round game.Move no 6 -In french white prefers Bd3 to attack king side.Move no-18 black should play Rxf6. Move no-20 black should play Qxc3.<br />

<br />
My Grandma takes us to Mall<br />
And makes us to buy things<br />
once for all.<br />
She help us to buy things<br />
at the best<br />
So gets tired and takes rest.<br />
We bought cakes, chocolates and<br />
biscuits to eat.<br />
And forgot to buy meat.<br />
My sister bought lipsticks<br />
and nail polish.<br />
But forgot to buy shoe polish.<br />
My father was at till<br />
Ran out of cash to pay the bill.<br />
My Grandma helped us <br />
by paying balance money<br />
And saved the day.<br />

Game started with 1.e4 c6 2.Nf3 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nd7 5.Bc4 Ngf6 6.Neg5 e6 7.Qe2 . Look at the position after white's 7th move.White's knight is attacking f7 and Bc4 and Qe2 are attacking e6. Black should shut-out Bc4 by Nd5. Instead he played a very natural developing move 7...Be7 after which white simply finishes him off.<br />

<b>CARS</b><br />
1- Cars Cars Cars<br />
All full un jars<br />
They take us for a ride<br />
And keep to the side.<br />
2- Children play with cars<br />
While elders sit in the bars<br />
Cars drink diesel and petrol<br />
People drink beers and lose control.<br />
<br />
It seems our young poet is very fond of beer !! In both of his poems he talks about it. One very famous chess player used to visit bubs in London. He would offer a game for a mug of beer. By the time bar closed he already drank too much beer and could not walk but even then he could beat any player there !! <br />

Now we are presenting you Sumit S Deshpande who is Kenya's National Champion in Under-8 Boys category. Unfortunately he could not play in WYCC-2010 due to some financial problems. He scored 5 / 7 points to win national title in May 2010. He parents shifted to Nairobi from Banglore when he was only 3 years old and he can speak only English now.<br />

Ayush Pandey an U-9 player got his maiden FIDE ranking of 1691 ! This indicates his bright future in chess. During state men's championship at Kanpur two young players of Lucknow performed very well. Akash Srivastava a ten year old boy scored credible 5.5/10 in that strong field . But most surprising performance was by our student Swastik Dehran who is still in U-7 category. He scored 6/10 points. In such a strong tournament he won 4 games drew another 4 and lost just 2 games. His last round draw was against a FIDE 1885 player !!<br />
We congratulate these boys on their performances and wish more success in future.Arun_Singhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02018180786181576798noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580419743029313764.post-52275206385615982192010-08-14T12:01:00.001+05:302010-08-14T12:04:26.540+05:30Match between UPState U-9 and Keny's U-7 National championA series of games were played by Ayush Pandey ( UP state U-9 Champ) and Sharanya Iyengar U-7 girls national champion of Kenya last week. On Sunday Aug 8 Ayush played a mature game. First he shattered Sharnya's q-side pawns then captured one of them. He maintained this advantage inspite of some good dynamic defence by Sharanya and then converted it in a win . On Tuseday too he got advantage in both games ( was piece up in first game) but Sharanya fought well and counter attacked resolutely to win both of them. On Thurseday again Ayush handled opening much better than Sharanaya, who had several weaknesses in pawn structure etc. This time Ayush maintained advantages to win both matches. In another game Ayush lost his queen due to mouse slip. Final score 3-2 in favour of Ayush.<br />
One can easily draw some conclusions<br />
1-Ayush had better opening preparation and positional understanding. What he lacked was killer stint and played some slopy chess to allowed opponent to get away from good positons in game 2 and 3. He needs to be more tough mentally to perform well at nationals.<br />
2-Sharanya played opening badly and got in trouble in most of games. She must understand that isolated pawns are are too weak to defend in long run. And it is very difficult to create enough counter play tactically, against tough opponent , to neutralize positional weaknesses. But her temperament and fighting spirit were better than Ayush.Arun_Singhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02018180786181576798noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580419743029313764.post-84149479619653863092010-08-07T21:42:00.002+05:302010-08-07T21:46:19.595+05:30Can't I even sleep ?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiKYq69bq97e7IzpJmdLXC5Ur450Zm780kp0cl_Sjc2wRaq5zPvoSwvy98dAOk5NK-GWrH-dkH54WzFwmM7L6ZEu-6eS5v4QfQhvM7ylEa0IyIi6iA8gzoGkMWWrm6dORjE2Gq7Tp1ud1D/s1600/img_1175.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" bx="true" height="131" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiKYq69bq97e7IzpJmdLXC5Ur450Zm780kp0cl_Sjc2wRaq5zPvoSwvy98dAOk5NK-GWrH-dkH54WzFwmM7L6ZEu-6eS5v4QfQhvM7ylEa0IyIi6iA8gzoGkMWWrm6dORjE2Gq7Tp1ud1D/s200/img_1175.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />

Though many girls took part in this tournament but none could finish in top 3 in their category. It is shocking that organisers did not give any special prizes to girls. How we are going to make chess popular among girls? <br />
Some of my present and old students got prizes. Swastik won primary group with perfect 5/5 .Among the girls Rishika Bhattacharya with 3.5/5 in junior section and Adarshika Srivastava 3/5 in primary section did reasonably well. Mithesh Kaladi who was expected to win highschool could manage only II place.Ayush Pandey who was expeced to win primary group got IIIrd place with 4/4 points as he could join tournament late and missed first round.Arun_Singhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02018180786181576798noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580419743029313764.post-37411268230463943032010-08-04T14:19:00.001+05:302010-08-07T13:05:05.243+05:30Junior Chess Tournament Aliganj Lucknow<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">After a long lull July saw two inter-school chess tournaments.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Black&White Chess Club became active after couple of years and organised a tournament at Modern World Scool Aliganj which was sponsored by Avadh Industrial Training Centre.
