3 years have passed since my last move ;-) To play chess you have to lean how to be patient ...

The world of chess has changed a lot ! Now, most of young talent has reached the top of the world ranking.

But Kramnik and recently Gelfand are still there !

The Mooggy Come Back

Mooggy vs Rest of the Blog :+) : 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6! 6.Be3 e5 7.Nb3 Be6 8.f3 Be7 9.Qd2 Nbd7 10.g4 Nb6 11.000 Rc8 12.Kb1 Nc4 13.Bxc4 Bxc4 14.h4 00 15.h5 Bxb3 16.axb3

First of all, I would like to appologyze for this long time before playing my next move. In fact, I had other things to do.

But now, I am ready to finish that game as soon as possible. So, you took my Knight on b3. I have to take your bishop back.

I am ready for the fight and I am still asking to myself what will be your next trick!

See you soon...

French Touch in Russia :+)

2006-03-17T17:55:00.000Z

Ok, before continuing the game, I would like to encourage my team-mate Marie Sebag. She is actually one of the most talented french chessplayers. In the women's world championship of Ekaterinburg, Russia, Marie has now qualified for the quarterfinals. I am sure that she will perform fantastically there.

In 2002, I coached her at the European under 16 women's championship where she became champion. Recently she has worked with two other Grandmasters: Andrei Scheckachev and Amir Bagheri. Her chess playing style is a mixture of classical and tactical play. Fun and dangerous!! But in fact, Marie has such a strong fighting spirit that sometimes no one can triumph over her, even the world's top players have failed (Fressinet, Popov & almost Karpov).

In Russia, she has beaten the favourite Humpy Koneru from India. And now the world championship title is in her sights. Go on Marie !!

The Typical Attack !!

2005-11-09T13:01:00.000Z

Jean Luc Chabanon vs Bloggers : 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6! 6.Be3 e5 7.Nb3 Be6 8.f3 Be7 9.Qd2 Nbd7 10.g4 Nb6 11.000 Rc8 12.Kb1 Nc4 13.Bxc4 Bxc4 14.h4 00 15.h5

14...castle is not good at all. The position is very difficult.

Now, I just have to let my pawns push till your king side is open. It's a typical attack in an opposite castle game.

I encourage you to do your best. But maybe too late.

Bye Bye...

Are you Chess or Boxing ?? :+)

2005-10-12T19:50:00.000+01:00

It's your black move !!

14.h4 : The Brave Pawn

2005-10-12T19:38:00.000+01:00

GMI Shabanovsky vs Bloggers : 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6! 6.Be3 e5 7.Nb3 Be6 8.f3 Be7 9.Qd2 Nbd7 10.g4 Nb6 11.000 Rc8 12.Kb1 Nc4 13.Bxc4 Bxc4 14.h4

After this forced exchange of pieces, it's time to start serious things. I am attacking your flank with my brave h pawn.

Will you find the solution of the right defence ??

You should relax like Geronimo, The Old Indian Chief.

You played 12...Nc4 with an elementary threat of taking the Queen. So I decide to take that guy not to lose any time of developpement.

In fact we can say that the middlegame starts now. It's time Bloggers to face our strategies.

Stay concentrated!
And See you Soon...

10th World Chess Champion

USSR CHESS STORIES : BORIS SPASSKY

2005-09-30T13:52:00.000+01:00

Boris Vasilievich Spassky (born on 30th Junuary 1937) is the tenth world champion in chess history.

He was born in Leningrad and learned to play chess at the age of five.

At the age of eighteen, he won the World Junior Chess Championship in Antwerp (Belgium) and became a Grandmaster.

Boris belonged to the soviet generation of players who wrote golden pages of chess history. His road to the world title was tough. Despite his classical aggressive style, Boris missed his first try in Moscow "66" against Tigran Petrossian from Soviet Armenia. In Moscow 1969, he took his revenge obtaining a well-deserved title.

Boris who was the "gentleman champion" lost his crown against Bobby Fischer in 1972 Reykjavik (Iceland). After that he continued his career, playing top-level chess until the end of the 80's. His last top chess show was a highly publicised revenge match against Bobby in Yugoslavia 1992. Once again he lost this exciting battle.

Boris who got french nationality in the late 70's is now living near Paris. He still travels around the world and frequently visits popular and friendly chess destinations.

King to b1 is typically what we called at chess a prophylactic move. Preventing from all the threats, I am now about to start the attack.

After this long summer, I am back bloggers.

Mister Strange have proposed 10...Knight b6 to change from the castle move.

Ok, now that I continue with long castle, you have to make what we called a chess middlegame plan.

Take care, this is a sharp position.

Asta la Vista Bloggers...

Mister Black...You have to move!!

The agressive move

2005-07-10T21:25:00.000+01:00

The Scoresheet : 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6! 6.Be3 e5 7.Nb3 Be6 8.f3 Be7 9.Qd2 Nbd7 10.g4

You played 9...Nbd7 but after 10.g4, the agressive move something strange is going on. This famous position belongs to the world champion dreams.

Such a fact can be taken seriously.

So, it's your move.

Take care Bloggers.

2005-07-10T21:07:00.000+01:00

OK...OK

Before continuing that classical game, I just would like to tell you something about this kind of play.

Blog Chess is an interesting exercice. It reaches somehow advanced & correspondance chess. I mean pro, amaters & beginners can take their time thinking about positions, combinations & strategies deeply.

In fact, there is an intense fight which can step by step become a singular & spectacular performance.

Good Luck Mister Blue...

Nothing really change on this summer day :+)
The position takes its classical shape.

I mean you want to castle on the King Side & I on the Queen Side.

That's all.
Stay concentrated!

8.f3 : The Direct Solution

You are Black...It's your move!

The Argentinian Defence

2005-06-16T09:51:00.000+01:00

The Scoresheet : 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6! 6.Be3 e5 7.Nb3 Be6 8.f3

We call this defence the Najdorf because of the Argentinian Super Grandmaster from the 50's 60's Miguel Najdorf. After 5...a6 we get this caracteristical scheme. In fact, instead of playing some classical developpment blacks prefer keep the possibility of b5. Why??

2 reasons
- counter the central square control (d5) with sometimes b5,b4
- counter the longcastle by an early queenside attack

The so many games played in this opening prooved that this is a weapon to take care. With f3, my intention is Queen d2 long castle & g4, the most direct solution

So Be Careful...

The Scoresheet : 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6! 6.Be3 e5 7.Nb3

OK...You decide to play 6...e5. There's nothing especial to say here. Players developp their pieces and we reach a classical position. That's all.

The summer is coming & if you analyse this game outside just take care.

See you soon Sunny Bloggers...

Najdorf Defence : Black to move!

Go for the Najdorf Defence !

The Scoresheet : 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6! 6.Be3

You have made a good choice. This defence was the strongest weapon of former world champion Garry Kasparov. It is also the most popular opening in chess.

I accept this challenge & go for the Sharp 6.Bishop e3 line.

After that there will be no compromise.

Bye Bloggers...

Week-End of French Cup

2005-06-06T12:27:00.000+01:00

Ok... Let's relax a little.

Here's a picture of me Jean Luc Chabanon & my friend from Cannes Chess Club Yannick Gozzoli, a young talented International Master (on the right). It was during the semi final of the french cup. Unfortunatly, our team lost against the strongest team of France & Europe, the NAO Chess Club from Paris.

I lose against Peter Svidler (one of the top 10 in the world) & Yannick drew against the french champion Joel Lautier.

I profit of my blog to say hello to GM Darko Anic & GM Christian Bauer who were the two other players from Cannes.

Bravo my friends yep...

What is your defence ??

2005-05-30T21:14:00.000+01:00

The Scoresheet : 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3

So you play Nf6, your choice is quite classical. In fact, it is one of the most popular moves. Yep...

I play the logical answer 5.Nc3...
don't forget my hanging pawn on e4 :+)

In the position above it's your move

Bye Bloggers

THE CHOICE

2005-05-22T20:50:00.000+01:00

After 4.Nxd4, it's your turn. Black to move

The game is on

2005-05-22T20:42:00.000+01:00

OK, you play 3.-c5 takes pawn on d4. I expected that move.

After my natural answer take on d4 with the Knight f3 you must make a decision.

Which Sicilian Defence will you play??

Maybe the Najdorf (the old weapon of Garry)
But don't forget, it's your move & you are black :+)

A bientôt...

The Open Game

2005-05-16T15:33:00.000+01:00

So you play 2.-d6
It's a good choice. This game will be open & probably very complex.

I must take a look on my chess books. I don't know why but I can't remember the theory.
maybe, it's a Mooggy trick :+)

See you soon bloggers

Let's Play the Sicilian Defence

2005-05-09T17:31:00.000+01:00

OK I accept the proposition of mister Alain.
It will be a Sicilian Defence (The favorite weapon of Gary Kasparov)
I challenge you with 2.Nf3

Bye

2005-04-19T01:45:00.000+01:00

1.e2-e4

1.e2-e4 first move

2005-04-19T01:18:00.000+01:00

It's time to start the game.

Little appendice for beginners.

I am sorry but there is no software on my blog. It won't be possible to move the pieces. So I just recommend you to use an old chess board to move the pieces.
I will use the algebric notation (the start & the final square).
exemples for the pieces (Rook = R ; Knight = N ; Bishop = B ; Queen = Q ; King = K and nothing for the Pawn)

I play 1.e2-e4 first move which mean that I play my king pawn !

Good Luck...

2005-04-19T01:03:00.000+01:00

Ok I finish my burger & we play

OK It's time to be serious...
