Posted by spurtus austinfilmfestival.org 4/23/2008 00:23:25 Play online chess	Subject: stonewalll attack study material Message: can anybody point me in the direction of any stonewall attack opening material / an online guide or a chessbase database. I've been experimenting with it and it seems not as good or systematic as I expected so I'm probably not getting the move order right. Thanks, Spurtus

I have only seen one book on Stonewall attack it put out by Chess Digest,written by GM Andrew Soltis, I saw the book for sale on www.amazon.com It was expensive I though for the book.

It's been a while since we looked at the endgame, so this week we begin a short series on this often neglected area with a terrific demonstration of endgame technique from the ever-improving chess world No 1 Magnus Carlsen.

Amazon is way too expensive though. I bought my copy at a local used bookstore for about $5. ——— Dortmund Begins — The Sparkassen Chess-Meeting (an odd name, to be sure) began Thursday in Dortmund. Though the chess tournament is not at the level of Linares or Corus, it still attracts top players, notably Vladimir Kramnik, the former world chess champion from Russia. Kramnik has been associated with Dortmund, as the chess event is often referred to, for many years because he has won the tournament nine times, far more than any other. He first won it in 1995 and is the defending champion this year. The tournament is a double-round robin this year, meaning each competitor plays all the others twice, once with each color. In addition to Kramnik, the No. 4 chess player in the world, the field includes ...

The two chess tournaments are being held concurrently at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis. Zatonskih had shared the lead for the last few rounds with Irina Krush, the top seed.
