Dear james,<br />
I am sorry that <strong>Northwest</strong> <strong>Chess</strong>does not meet your<br />
exacting standards. I am charged with putting out a 24-<br />
to 32-page issue each month and am constantly scrambling<br />
for material. Rarely do I receive a complete article<br />
of any length greater than two or three pages, rather I<br />
must piece'together most longer articles.<br />
The article in question was extracted from Clint's<br />
blog on the Slugfest7 web site. I did not notice mention<br />
of the exact amount of the first place prize, but I found<br />
it on the story in <strong>Chess</strong>lift Online. GM Mikhalevski received<br />
$5000 for first place, the only place prize, GMC<br />
Berry received $600 for winning the Best Game (or rather<br />
Most Popular Game), and 1M Preuss received $400 for<br />
losing said game. Of course, the non-local players received<br />
food and lodging, but I don't know if appearance<br />
fees were distributed.<br />
I'm always a bit hesitant about putting in dollar<br />
amounts for prizes, as I feel it tacky and think it detracts<br />
from the chess and competative aspects of an article.<br />
After all, do people really care that much if Ralph Random<br />
won $250 as opposed to $175 Do they want to<br />
know that only one writer during my tenure as editor<br />
has ever charged for an article and that the charge was<br />
$5~ for a one-pager<br />
Oh yes, the time control was apparently 40/2 and<br />
SD/1. I found that bit of information on a blog entry<br />
that was primarily concerned with the Seattle Sluggers<br />

On the Cover. LM Viktors Pupols breezed through<br />
the MasterlExpert section of the Washington Class. After<br />
defeating the only Expert he faced (Rd 1), he had three<br />
wins and two draws against a Master field. Only Michael<br />
Lee, one of the three Expert winners, faced as many<br />
Masters. Photo courtesy of Carol Kleist.<br />
rather than the GM Slugfest. As to Clint Ballard's ability as<br />
a writer, I'll not comment other than to say that he has a<br />
very livelyand enthusiastic style which makes some readers<br />
feel that they are there with him. Perhaps the facts that you<br />
desire are hidden away or ignored, but that's hardly a tragic<br />
flaw. His blog entries were severely pruned as well as replanted<br />
by me and I'm not sure what other editing was required.<br />
Did I miss some grammatical errors Some logical<br />
inconsistencies<br />
Concerning my own abilities as editor, you're probably<br />
a better judge than I.<br />

Games<br />

The WashingtnClass Championshipwas held at the North Seattle Community<br />
CollegeonNovember 24-26. There were 119players in all. On behalf of the<br />
WCF Board of Directors, I want to apologize to all the junior players who<br />
played in the tournament and their parents as well as to the adult players for the<br />
delays in sta.rtingthe rounds and for other problems that we had. As ChiefTD, it<br />
was my responsibility to see to it that things ran smoothly and that the rounds<br />
started on time. One of our problems was that we were short handed. The twoTDs<br />
who wereto be there to help out were unable to make it and there were no other TDs<br />
available on such short notice. The WCF Tournament Coordinator is new to the job<br />
and is still learning howto do it right. Youhave my word that the WashingtonOpen<br />
will be a better organized tournament. On Sunday, we had a bad snow storm. We<br />
will take the weather into consideration for next year's Washington Class when we<br />
start planningit. We would liketo thank our vendor, Tim Tobiason, for being here<br />
and we hope that he will be back next year for the Washington Open.<br />

Ernst Rasmussenand I returnedftom<br />
the tournament in the blizzard of '06! I<br />
was coming hot off the 4 of 6 score and<br />
tie for fourth at the Western States Open<br />
and entered this tournament with high<br />
hopes. I played well the first day, winning<br />
the first two of the six games. Saturday<br />
morning I was up and ready for a<br />
tough match. I knew whomever I would<br />
be fucingwouldhavealso wontwo games<br />
and this match would be critical.to advance<br />
to board one. These "Swiss System"<br />
tournaments get tougher as they<br />
progress, but I really.felt physically and<br />
mentally up to the challenge.<br />
My opponent, Frank, was already<br />
sitting at the board, behind the White<br />
pieces. He was very serious, all business.<br />
I sat down, extendedmy hand and<br />
got a hesitant hand~haJce,absolutelypenetrating<br />
stare, and no smile.<br />
The game had already begun, without<br />
a piecebeingmoved. Dadeeyesbored<br />
into me and caused me to start fumbling<br />
with the clock and adjusting my pieces<br />
among other attempts to conceal the uneasiness,<br />
not to mentionthe absolutecold<br />
sweat I had fallen into.<br />
Frank brought me out of it with the<br />
confidentpush ofhis d-pawntwo squares<br />
and a slap to the clock. Whack!Whack!<br />
Whack! The moveswerecomingfast and<br />
furious, as we were obviously making<br />
moves we had played hundreds of times<br />
before. We entered the Bogo-Indian Defense<br />
and within minutes arrived in fresh<br />
territory.<br />
I happen to likethe Bogo-Indianand<br />
enjoy playing an attacking game from<br />
Blacks' queenside, aiming at Whites'<br />
kingsidecastled position. I also welcome<br />
the wild games which develop following<br />
Blacks' castling to the opposite side of<br />
the board, invitinga frontal assault ftom<br />
Whites' pawns and pieces.<br />
Now Frank went into a deep think.<br />
It always makes me feel good when I<br />
cause the opponent to pause. I hope that<br />
I have posed difficult problems for the<br />
adversary and it may well be the point<br />
wherea mistakeis made. Minutespassed,<br />
and then came anotherpush of that d:<br />

pawnfor a longtime. I wentintoa sort
of trance, staring at it, mesmerizedby it. shook my hand vigorously, thanking me<br />

his pawns and pieces into my position. 8.e3d69.Ad3tL1bd710.e40-0-0 11.<br />
At first glance, all seemed well with the 0-0 h6 12.tLlbS~b8 13.dS tLlcs 14.<br />
Blackpieces. Immediatethreats by White iIfe1 tLlb31S.!lb4tL1xa116.iIxa1<br />
were parried and exchanges took place.<br />
Whenthe dust settled,however,therewas<br />
a White pawn dangerously close to my<br />
King, and Franks' Queen and remaining<br />
Rook were threatening checkmate. I<br />
poured over the position before me, examining<br />
every nuance starting with the<br />
most ridiculous looking moves to those<br />
which seemed most logical. It did not<br />
take too longto understand the hopelessness,the<br />
sheerdisaster beforeme. Where<br />
did I go wrong How could I misplay<br />
this winninggame My head was swimming<br />
when I looked up and saw the<br />
doublewide grin which had replaced<br />
Frank's poker face.<br />
I lookdownat the position,hopingto<br />
find that miraculous move that will allowmeto<br />
play on, as wellas givemetime<br />
to choke back and conceal the anger at<br />
myselffor being so stupid! When finally<br />
the range of emotionhad subsided, I look<br />
back up at the grinning face and take the<br />
hand that is offered. I got a firm, confidenthandshake<br />
as I tipped over myKing.<br />
I could only wish that 50 years ago I<br />
played chess like Frank. I have a feeling<br />
the chessworldmay be hearinga lot more<br />
someday from this young sixth grader!<br />
Frank's dad rushed up and gave his<br />
sona congratulatorypat onthe back, then<br />

White prepares a breakthrough with<br />
e4-eS. Perhaps this idea shows up the disadvantage<br />
of8...Ae6 vs. 8...'iYxd1. The<br />
alternative 13.~b3! forces 13...0-0-0<br />
14.'iYxd7+f!.xd71S.lIad1 and then 1S...<br />
f!.xd1 16.f!.xd1 Ae7. As more pieces<br />
get traded, White gets closer to his ideal<br />
goal of a pure pawn ending where he can<br />
create a passed pawn on the kingside, but<br />
Black cannot do the same on the queenside<br />
due to the doubled pawns. FRITZcalls<br />
this position equal, but I disagree.<br />
13...0-0-0<br />
Black must castle queensideto catch ~d736.1!xa6 f!.xe737.f!.b6 f!.eS38.a4<br />

Start/no Out: Queen's Gambit Declined<br />
way should he recapture after (White pJays) cxd5, why<br />
exactly does he need to get the h7-pawn out of the way<br />
of a future 'ffc2, and what is the significance ofhangfflg<br />
pawns vis-a-vis piece activity Basically, if Black defends<br />
passively in the QGD, he can get crushed against a<br />
modem, up-to-date opponent, as the author clarifies with<br />
numerous games.<br />
Lasker's Defense continues, after 7.Ah4 (ftom the<br />
previous paragraph) with 7...tDe4, intending an exchange<br />
of pieces and aiming for the endgame. There are various<br />
plans for White and Black. However, in general, the<br />
Lasker is consideredas giving Black an uphill fight. The<br />
Classical continues 6.fl)f3 fl)bd7, also known as the Orthodox<br />
Defense.<br />
1V\'7<br />
There is a famous trap in the Cambridge Springs, in<br />
which Black varies "slightly" from the main line: 1.d4 d5<br />
2.c4 e6 3.fl)f3 c6 4.fl)c3 fl)f6 5.11g5 fl)bd7 6.e3 "a5<br />
7.fl)d211b4 8.'ffc2 0-0 9.11d3 dxc4 0-1 Grabuzova-<br />
Godena, 2004 online blitz. The author confessesthat he<br />
once fell into a version of this trap as a young, inexperienced<br />
pJay. As did I (your reviewer) at an OTB Seattle<br />
tournament sometime in the 1970's.<br />
Another substantial chapter discusses the Exchange<br />
Variation, the minority attack, and other ideas.<br />
In the final chapter,White pJays 4.11f4.<br />
The book concludes with an Index of Variations,and<br />
a list of 50 complete games.<br />
This is a thoughtful and well-prepared presentation<br />
of the QGD. If you open 1.d4 or if you pJay 1...d5 in<br />
reply, this is a handy learning reference. ffigbly recommended<br />
for players rated 1450- 1950. .<br />

Clatskanie,OR 29 October 2006<br />
Bishops Boooonanza!<br />
by Kate Taylor<br />
Fifty-four players and their families. from throughout the<br />
Pacific <strong>Northwest</strong>, attended this event. Players. organizers<br />
and some parents dressed in costumes to play... including<br />
the tournament director who started as a caterpillar<br />
with many hands. went through a pupa stage and turned<br />
into a butterfly just in time for awardst<br />
Immediately following registration. while we waited<br />
for the pairings to be set. the day began with -Lucky<br />
<strong>Chess</strong>.- Lucky <strong>Chess</strong> is a variant of chess in which dice are<br />
used to determine movement. If a one is rolled a pawn<br />
may move. 2-Bishop. 3-Knight. 4-Rook.' 5-Queen. 6-King.<br />
If a piece cannot make a legal move. then the player loses<br />
a turn. In order to win. the King must be captured. It takes<br />
about 25 moves. but eventually someone will yell -Checkmatet-<br />
The winner was then allowed to choose a prize.<br />
The rest of the players continued until another King was<br />
captured. We played this variation of chess for a half hour<br />
with lots of players winning great prizes before the tournament<br />
even begant<br />
Throughout the tournament. whenever the TO saw<br />
someone doing something right she gave them a secret<br />
word to say to the Pirate at the concessions table. Upon<br />
hearing the correct word. the pirate would say -Arghhh. -<br />
and then would open a treasure chest and allow the selection<br />
of just one item (a Hershey's kiss). Some players tried<br />
to figure out the secret word in order to steal the Pirate's<br />
treasure. None were successful and many were driven<br />
mad! as they tried throughout the day to figure out the<br />
codet The secret word changed and was never the same.<br />
(I'd made arrangements with the pirate to accept only<br />
words that ended with the -e- sound and once a word had<br />
been used it wasn't good any more.)<br />
Between rounds. everyone played on the giant chess<br />
set (with some pieces actually coming alive) or spent time<br />
on one of our four computers or ran outside to play basketball<br />
or football.<br />
At the end of the day. we had a rowdy game of<br />
bughouse with children and parents.<br />

games of the day. Philip won and said to his opponent<br />
-That was the hardest game of my lifet You're such a good<br />
player.-<br />
