Re: 2017 RA Club Championship January 19 to March 2

Congratulations to Francesco and Zachary on outstanding performances. A special bow to Qiyu for her fight back to solo second after taking a few days off for the Women's World Championships in the middle. The prize for sandbagging goes to Romy Peters, for knocking off a much higher rated player in the final round to score 5 points and tie for fourth.

[Halldor P. Palsson]

We have our champions!

The win by Francesco Dunne in the last round means that co-champs Francesco Dunne & Zachary Dukic will be doing a tandem simul after our annual meeting in May and sharing the $500 first prize for the championship.

Qiyu Zhou overcame David Gordon in a Q vs. R endgame in the last round to win third place outright.

Re: modern odds matches

Perfection is unnatural.

Then so must be you yourself. :)

[Neil Frarey]

Re: modern odds matches

That is very interesting, Kevin.

I agree that chess possesses a certain perfection that ought not be tampered with as no improvements are possible.

As it is true with most any artificial confine, the starting position of standard Chess is completely unnatural.

Re: modern odds matches

Hi Brad

I go into great detail about that, and other aspects of why chess is arguably free of arbitrariness as a board game of skill, in the following CFC blog entry of mine:

[Brad Thomson]

Re: modern odds matches

Chess seems to have the best starting position for the given pieces and their movements, IMHO.

Hi Kevin, what do you mean exactly? How is the starting position the best? Most suited to seeking immediate development and central control?
