SICILIAN UPDATE

The deadly Sicilian has been in the news this week.

Here is an update from Danny King, it is intended as a supplement to the excellent Power Play 18 DVD.

Judges 3:21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

A VERY GRACIOUS RESPONSE

I have received a very gracious response to this Chess Enterprise Project from Dan Gordon who is a well known local actor.  

This is the Facebook page promoting his play about Harland and Wolff.


Proverbs 22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

CHESS WORLD STUNNED

Had to update this as a few videos of  GM Pastor Begbie are now available.


***************************************************************************
The image below is a picture of the world`s two highest rated Chess players.

The player on the left is GM Pastor Begbie with a FIDE rating of  2986 and the player on the right is GM Magnus Carlsen, the so-called "World Champion."

News has emerged that GM Begbie has been receiving tuition at the Borislav Ivanov Chess Academy over the past 4 years and he has played numerous gruelling tournaments against the world`s best computer programs. He has also attained 15 GM norms and a FIDE rating of 2986.

Ivanov is said to be stunned at GM Begbie`s natural abilities, as a matter of fact, Ivanov has been so stunned he has decided to retire for good. The official logo of the Borislav Ivanov Chess Academy is below.

GM Begbie is expected to re-model the Borislav Ivanov Chess Academy of his former tutor and establish an Borislav Ivanov Chess Academy in every major city in the world.

Chessbase are bringing out a limited edition of a new chess playing program named "DEEP BEGBIE" to mark the entrance of GM Begbie into the world of Professional chess.
The programs are expected to go on sale at £300 each, autographed copies will be £400 each.

Major fashion brands are also entering into negotiations with GM Begbie to have him endorse their products.
Remember, do not buy any merchandise that does not have the authentic GM Begbie logo imprinted on it.

FIDE is doing all in it`s power to keep this information secret  as Begbie is not a FIDE member. Magnus Carlsen is reported to be hiding somewhere in Norway crying his eyes out and Vishy Anand is reported to be somewhere in India laughing his head off!

GM Begbie is expecting the government of N.Ireland to put up a match prize purse of  £10 million  so he can challenge the so-called "World champion" to a real chess match. The match is expected to be staged in the Titanic Building in Belfast

Here are two of GM Begbie`s most famous Chess Quotes.
1. "It was not enough to have a genius like Ivanov teaching me. I practised a lot with the computer, and after beating Rybka and Fritz by 40-0 each, I was absolutely sure that no-one was gonna stop me winning."  

2. "To improve at chess you should in the first instance get someone to study the endgame for you!"

The Chess world now awaits a Begbie versus Carlsen REAL World Championship Match.

Proverbs 29:9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

FREE LESSONS FOR BEGINNERS

Just discovered this free Chess Academy website on the Chess Live Facebook page.

Looks like a useful site for beginners.  There is no shortage of free Chess lessons and tutorials nowadays.

Ecc 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

STARTED TO INFORM THE LOCAL POLIITICAL PARTIES

I have started to inform the local political parties about this Educational project.

POTENTIAL WEBSITE FOR NORTH BELFAST CHESS CLUB

Note, this is purely a non-profit "Educational endeavour."  It is an experiment in learning.

Here is a list of needed items to initiate a new N.Belfast Chess Club.
The "Possible" Promotional video is below.


1. Funding?
Obviously from the government.
It is intended the membership will be free, the government will foot the bill for all the "starting up costs,"  provide the venue and pay all the utility bills.
Naturally the purpose is to encourage non chess players to become "competitive" players.

2. Premises?
The Old Crumlin Road jail would be ideal. Must check other locations as well.

3. A "Celebrity" aka "a useful idiot?"
It would be a great experiment to take some "Celebrity" who has absolutely NO knowledge of Chess and see what level of expertise they can reach in one year. From Zero to Hero, you could say.
UTV could make a "documentary" about it?
We could call this, "The Celebrity Chess Challenge."

Who could we get to fit in here? Must make a list.
Nuala McKeever?
Jake O`Kane?
Tim McGarry?
Dan Gordon?
Paddy Jenkins?

4. A reputable internationally renowned chess player?
Borislav Ivanov
The greatest "chess quote" of all time, "I practiced a lot with the computer, and after beating Rybka and Houdini by 10-0 each, I was absolutely sure that no-one was gonna stop me winning."   lol lol lol lol lol lol

5. Naturally we would expect the support of  the local political parties. After all, they are willing to fund all sorts of loony enterprises without batting an eyelid.

6. Also the local police would be expected to give their support.  They too are up to their necks in supporting lots of useless projects.

7. The endorsement of the Ulster Chess Union will be needed.
