MISSED WIN



The position above is from a rated game against Fritz 14. Fritz rating was set at 2198 and Fritz is black.

It is me to move as white, I failed to find the best move and ended up with a draw.  When Fritz analysed the game, it pointed out a win for white which shocked me as it seemed so simple, yet I had failed to find it.

No doubt it is the type of position where a Chess master would find the key move quite easily but it is not so easy for club players like myself.

I have found this is a consistent weakness in  my game, I get a good position but fail to find the key move which turns a good position into a won game.

The key move is a tactical move, but it is not a blatant tactical move which instantly wins a pawn or a piece, it was more subtle than that, it was so subtle I failed to see it.

UCU CHAMPIONSHIPS AT THE INFAMOUS EUROPA, starts this Friday



They are looking for at least one more player for the over 1700 section of the Ulster championships at the infamous Europa Hotel which starts on Friday night.

At the minute they have 13 players and need one more to make it even numbers.

Must try and get some video of the start of the tournament on Friday night.

REAL LIFE CHESS

I am currently playing real life Chess against the government of N.Ireland and elements of the CIA.
It will soon be a blockbuster movie, the proposed trailer is below.

Over the past few years I have established a secret international organistion, it is so secret the people who are in it, do not even know they are in it.  It does not have a name.

The purpose of the organisation is to humiliate and overthrow crooks like President Peter Kirsan Ilyumzhinov Robinson and Desperate Dan Quayle.

It is a lot of fun, sort of like playing blindfold chess, only without the blindfold.

STRANGE CHESS SCENE FROM "Deception" aka "End Of The Game"




Came across this strange Chess scene in a movie I had never heard of before. I stumbled across it while looking up information about the actor, the late Robert Shaw.
For some strange reason I had always thought he came from N.Ireland but this is very incorrect. He did die in Ireland though.

It turns out the movie originates from a German novel, Der Richter und sein Henker, The judge and his hangman. Have not watched the movie but it seems to be some sort of cynical morality tale.

If you are wondering why I was looking up information about Robert Shaw, I will tell you why. A few night`s ago I started watching the famous movie "The Sting," even though I have seen it a few times I found it hard to stop watching it, must be because the acting is so good, it sort of grabs your attention.

Robert Shaw really knew how to project a very menacing persona, I wonder how he learned to do that?

When I eventually looked up the movie called "Deception" aka "End Of The Game" it contained a very strange Chess scene.

Here is the full movie for anyone who has not seen it or heard of it.

ULSTERCHESS.NET



Found out there is a new Ulster Chess online page, when I visited the venue for the Summer tournament earlier. 

It is called ulsterchess.net and it is being used to broadcast live games.


I think it is just in it`s testing phase at the minute, to get it ready for the Ulster Chess Championship, which will be staged in the infamous, sinister, and skullduggery orientated premises known as the Europa Hotel.

If there is ever going to be an epic "cheating scandal" anywhere in the world, the Europa must be tailor-made for it.  It has all the right ingredients.

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

SMYPATHY NOTICE

I wish to express my sympathy to my fellow South Belfast Chess Club team mate Graeme McCormick, due to the passing away of his wife.

“The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.

To lose one's wealth is sad indeed,
To lose one's health is more,
To lose one's soul is such a loss
That no man can restore.

Now is the only time you have,
So live, love, toil at will,
Place no faith in "time,"
For the Clock may soon be still.” By Robert H Smith


2 Corinthians 1:3-5

3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
