NM DAVIS – QG Collective
Master v Collective [Final]:
National Life Master Loal Davis K.O.s the QG Collective .. What started out as a slow and meticulous opening abruptly unfolds into a full all out assault after thee ole 1-2 pounch on move 12. Nxc6 Bxc6 13. fxe5 dxe5 14. Qxd8 Raxd8 the collective hits the canvass for the first time ..The fight ensued with white’s direct attack 15. Bg5 … [Bishop pinning the Knight] the reluctant collective plays Rd6 protecting the Knight and the Kingside pawn structure . Then the preplexing 16. c5 was played.. only one move could of saved the position (being down an exchange)..and that would be 16..Re6 (17. Bc4 Rfe8 18. Bxe6 Rxe6 )..yet the discombobulated collective stammers the rook to d4. The next blow 17. BxN on f6 was the “knock- out ” blow .. yet given a standing 10 count the Collective continued only too never again find its footing and threw in the towel by move 22.
Congrats- to Mr.Davis for the victory ..

MAX LANGE
Max Lange (August 7, 1832, Magdeburg – December 8, 1899, Leipzig)
German chess player and composer. In 1858–1864, he was an editor of the Deutsche Schachzeitung (German Chess Newsletter). He was a founder of Westdeutscher Schachbund (West German Chess Federation, WDSB), and an organizer of the 9th DSB–Congress (Kongress des Deutschen Schachbundes) at Leipzig 1894. He was second President of the German Chess Federation..
Max Lange vs Wilfried Paulsen [Dusseldorf 1863 ]
The variation of the Two Knights Defense 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d4 exd4 5.O–O Bc5 6.e5 is called the Max Lange Attack. The Vienna Game variation 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 is known as the Max Lange Defense.
The Max Lange Attack is a chess opening that can arise from many different opening lines, including the Two Knights Defense, Petroff’s Defense, Scotch Gambit, Bishop’s Opening, Center Game, and Giuoco Piano. Two of the most commonly seen move ordersare 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 (the Two Knights Defense) 4.d4 exd4 5.0-0 Bc5 6.e5 and 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Bc4 (the Scotch Gambit) Bc5 5.0-0 Nf6 6.e5.
After 6.e5, Black has two main replies. Black’s 6…Ng4 is playable, but rarely seen. More common is 6…d5, when the main line continues 7.exf6 dxc4 8.Re1+ Be6 9.Ng5 Qd5 (9…Qxf6?? 10.Nxe6 fxe6 11.Qh5+ followed by 12.Qxc5 is a notorious trap) 10.Nc3 Qf5 11.Nce4 0-0-0 with complex play.

SIX KNIGHTS
SIX KNIGHTS…Henry E. Dudeney
Place three black and three white chess knights on a 3×4 board as shown in Figure 1.
The object is to exchange black and white knights in the fewest possible number of their moves (some examples of such moves are shown in Figure 2, a and b).
Moves should be made by black and white knights in turn. And after every move none of the knights should be under attack of any of the knights of the opposite color. Only one knight can be on a square at the same time.

World Title Match Draughts (RD 6)…Georgiev wins the “Rapid” and the tension is mounting..
It isnt over yet and its getting ugly with a touch of psychological warfare . World Champion Alexander Georgiev complained about the distracting body language of Alexander Schwarzman and referee Frank Teer has issued a warning letter. For the moment the atmosphere has become a bit less friendly.
