Jokes about chess. Chess and Life

And almost the entire chess primacy of which I own me from this wonderful teacher.

What did my progress look like in chess?

1.) At the earlier stage, it was necessary to get rid of Zowkov. In the Blits, it happens to me so far, but in the parties with standard control usually still avoid putting figures on frankly broken fields or moving forward a pawn that held a heavy figure.
It is not so difficult. Just think. Just watch.

2.) Then I learned the concept of "correct" and "incorrect" stroke. Elephants on E3 and D3 at the beginning of the game it is better not to install. There are nothing to do with horses on a and h. Queen at the beginning of the game to withdraw forward is very careful, but it is better not to output at all. Never played the Scandinavian party.

3.) A little common considerations. The elephant must stand so as to fgar on the maximum number of cells, and not blocked by its own pawn. The rooks need to be displayed in the center, pair ...)) No need to hurry to disclose your center, if you lag in development. And as children are taught - it is advisable not to go at the beginning of the same figure twice, first take them all.

4.) Search for vulnerable places in the opponent's position. Any of his course carries a vulnerability. Attacking, he simultaneously gives me the opportunity to counterattack. Having protecting one place, thereby weakens the other. It is important to feel in what place to fulfill the enemy.

5.) Well, of course, it is necessary to look at a few moves. Does not get out of somewhere fork, whether an unexpected mat will happen or some more trouble.

6.) It is very interesting to "play for defense" and in every course of the enemy to look for a threat. Look at the position of the enemy and understand where it can hit where I get problems, even after a lot of moves.

7.) Debuts, as it turned out, it is not necessary to know especially) I thought earlier that you need to try as Karpov to know Karo Cann's defense to the 26th. In fact, this is a thorough knowledge of debuts begins to play around the level of CCM, and in my humble level it is enough just to know / see the main debut traps and not lose.

I have a few favorite debuts. Behind the White I play most often the Royal Gambit in the same mood or Spanish party in another. Just for shake love to play Gambit Evans :)
For black I love the Russian party, once played Sicilian protection and Karo Cannes.

But in general - not in the debuts of the key, it is much more important to correctly feel the Mittelspil, and the debut is enough to play without gross mistakes.

8.) Of course you need to know the highlights in the endgame, well, at least how to hold the king of the pawn or how not to give to the extreme)

But this is all garbage.

The most important thing in chess - draw conclusions.

The lost and won parties also need to disassemble.
Repeat them on the board.
Mark for yourself turning points.
With the help of programs or more experienced players to look for other options.

When from my point of view everything is lost, it's just to go nuts what resources are open to defense, if you give the Fritz party ...

I began to analyze my lost and no less importantly, the won parties.

As the great Harry Casparov said: If you won a chess game, it only means that you are mistaken in the penultimate.

Harry Kasparov said that if you ranked first in the tournament, then all the famous players returned home and carefully disassembled all the parties. And you in the kayfa at home, I am the strongest chess player, I do not care. Well, so the next tournament will plug you far back, because the people disassembled everything and understood, and you brought the beak.

Raul Kapablac said that one lost and disassembled party cost hundreds won and forgotten.

Mikhail Botvinnik, when he taught people to chess, asked for him to disassemble his lost and won parties. He listened to the analysis and understood everything about the chess player. And he helped just with the analysis on the basis of the parties played, the chess player is simply not very effective.

No one wants to work. Play fun, disassemble the party - terribly boring. An hour and two can be spent on the analysis of one batch. I ask the program to show options in all turning points, try on the board as it were, we will have a party to play like this or a shape ... is even nodded.
But it is worth only seriously to start analyzing their parties - the result becomes noticeable very quickly, especially at the beginning. I got here that I am almost all the parties or on primitive inattention or because I forget about the king and all the power we throw into the attack. As a result, it became during the game a separate attention to pay for the safety of the king and watch after all a little forward is not waiting for me from somewhere the Kedagra. Rating cheerfully went up)) I continue observations.

And in our chess club there are tricks with a 1st category that played in their pleasure much longer than I live in the world. And they also have the first discharge for the last 30-40 years. They play chess as expected retirees - from year to year, out of a decade in a decade at about the same level, coming on the same rake.


I thought that it was in life so.

What man asshole in 20, he exactly will be an asshole and in 30 and 60. Make conclusions like my chess conclusions about the safety of the king, for example, in life, few people manage. And this, meanwhile, the most important moment. Probably.

Threat: It is still interesting that the normal course of the party seemed to me before boring. I wanted actions. I wanted an explosion on the board. Therefore, the royal gambit was put on the soul. The most hard version - when the horse is given to F3))) Pawn GXF3 - YYY !!!))) But the queen goes to H5 and the elephant is already standing on C4 and in general it may be interesting.

So, boring to play a solid and smooth query gambit, the Spanish Party Summit - I want an ecchin, I want to distribute the shapes and split the nodes, rushing forward on the lich horse and put the mat.

In life, it is also so)) The most fun and dashing options are not always the most effective. The most efficient is boring and calm. From here, there is a wonderful misconception "to grow up - it means to stuff."

Zyy: Yes, developing thought from comments: Progress in chess is usually a matter of time (a few hours a day) and desire. To make it up to the master of sports or even above can almost anyone with higher technical education, there would be a desire.
For adults, the task is already relevant to feed the family, and chess as a cute hobby should remain within. Earn chess (as well as many other sports, such as kickboxing) extremely difficult, really lives with a chess can be the first twenty chess players in the world, all the rest are usually working as someone in adjacent areas. And, for example, I personally know one man who played the international master who, for eight and more hours a day, wrote programs on Java, and he had chess so, for the soul.

There is no limit to perfection:-)

The founder of the Magnet network, a billionaire, told Tinkov that his brains were right because of chess.
-I played in them tightly played two years, then threw, but the sharpening remained.
-And have you had any successes?
-KMS.

Two years before the CCC, to do ... My respect :)
And then throw. And earn 5 billion. That's how it is necessary :-)

Until recently, chess was considered one of the most intelligent games. This game is generally the proximity of the centuries was the prerogative of kings and aristocrats. Maybe therefore the winners of chess tournaments were always called kings. Today the situation has changed somewhat.

Since the game went to the masses, the halo gradually began to fill up. The winged phrase that the famous Botvinnik is only for the champion board, and in the rest of the most common Jew, it shows that an ancient game and her knights have grumbled former greatness. Yes, and recently a lot of professions appeared, no less intelligent than playing chess, but more complicated. Therefore, the palm of the championship in the battle of intelligence in chess players are intercepting other specialists today.

It is difficult to believe that chess, which a quarter of a century ago collected many specialists and enthusiasts around the plaid boards, today turned out to be practically on the backyards of history. And the chess players who were once a symbol of mind and intelligence became almost anachronism. Today, this game is almost universally survived from the life of millions with modern computers. Chess players were on the threshold of survival. In front of many of them, including strong players, the question arose than to make a living. It was at that time that many of them found themselves in poker, preferring to Chess Poker Rouma on the Internet and various poker sites.

For such lovers of games with the mind, Poker became a kind of rescue circle. The rules of the poker game are honed and simple, as if strokes of chess figures. In this game there are no more combinations than on a chessboard. The basics of poker can be studied in one evening, and the main principles are studying in practice, losing various situations with friends. And, which is especially valuable, is the absence of any theory. On this game, there is no tutorial. But, that relates poker with chess, is an infinite many possibilities.

Of course, since these are completely different games, there are differences. At the chessboard, the situation is viewed from beginning to end, and enough information is enough. In poker in this sense, everything is exactly the opposite. Information about the opponent - zero. Surely you know only your two cards. For many, it becomes discovery that the laws of mathematical logic reign in poker, as in chess.

Although it would seem what mathematics here. Some riddles. Try to guess that the opponent's hands! But on whether you guessed or not, the outcome of the party depends. Therefore, the price of this decision is much higher than in chess. But it is precisely that causes a serious excitement, excites and attracts in this game.

Today Poker is a very popular game, and dozens play it, or even hundreds of thousands of people around the world. And if earlier there were such card games, as a point, preference or debers, today, poker multiplies in the masses similar to computer viruses on the network. Television and Internet played a huge role in this.

The game of Texas Holdham is most popular as one of the most common types of poker. The rules of this game are simple. Players are heard two cards in the hands of the hand, and the first trade circle begins. Then the flop opens - three common cards, and players come into a bargain again, after which the fourth map is opening. Again there is a bargaining, and finally, River opens - the last common map. Participants of the game again make bets. If there are still rivals in the game, they open their cards. In the course of the game, each player can accept one of three solutions - to equalize the rival bet, raise higher or make pass. Wins, understandable, one who is stronger. This is achieved either at the autopsy - card, or if the cards do not open up, is the power of belief.

Poker raises the character and power of will, often becoming part of the inner essence of man. Just like in chess. Another Fisher said that the ability to suppress the ego of his opponent is often one of the main factors of victory.

The ability to demonstrate to your opponent seeming weakness, the ability to lure him into a trap is the main qualities of the professional chess player who are equally in demand in poker. You can also add and analyze and make the right conclusions about situations at the table as a whole and about the game of your rivals in particular. The main thing in this matter is not to overestimate your capabilities.

Having done the first steps in poker, and feeling that this game was created for you, you will understand that the guide is needed and a reliable assistant in the online poker world. After all, you probably know that the Internet is played in poker, just like in chess. We can say that it is in the network that is most and played in it. It is here that today the best players of the world are honored their skills, and up to 85% of all surrender. It is very convenient: the game can be started at any time convenient for you.

We just want you to show a place where there are all the latest poker news, thanks to which you will be aware of all events. In addition, we will tell you where to look for training materials and which poker rooms offer the best bonus programs.

So, what common features between such a seemingly different games like poker and chess

If you think that there is no connection between chess and will connect, then you are deeply mistaken. In poker, in particular, in Texas Holdeme, as well as in chess, blood is exciting a cocktail from such components as intelligence, excitement, strategies, passions, risk and bluff. All this attracts poker much more players than in chess.

The Soviet Union gave the world much more strongest chess players than any other country. With the development of poker, many are trying forces in this exciting and exciting game. One of them is the fifth young grandmaster Alexander Grischuk in the Russian ranking.

Chess players bring their collections into poker, intelligence, the ability to calculate the options and evaluate situations, learn the theory, to quickly learn, play for several hours in a row.

In poker, in contrast to chess, an artificial intelligence has been created, capable of beating a professional player. Today, it is already generally recognized that the logic and skill play in poker a major role, and only newcomers can count on luck. But for victory it is necessary to be not only logic. You also use the ability to read your opponent. Unlike chess, where only two people play behind the board, the poker table can be from two to nine players, each of which has their own, closed from the rivals of the card.

In poker, as well as in chess, tournaments and championships are held. But prize funds here are much more significant. It should be noted that poker tournaments are held daily, and serious contests with millions of prize funds are almost weekly. If you like chess, it makes sense to try yourself and in poker. After all, such an explosion of emotions and the atmosphere of Azart is not found anywhere else but poker.

It must be said that in Russia, where the mind was always appreciated, and math was on top, poker develops very quickly, and the successes of Russian players follow one after another. Opens Alexander Kravchenko, who in the game Texas Holdem on the WSOP-2007 won a gold bracelet and more than two million dollars. A little later, the young player Alexander Kostritsyn in Australia became the winner in the Aussiemillions tournament, having received one million Australian dollars. Next year, in November, Ivan Demidov ranks second at the main WSOP tournament and receives $ 5.8 million.

There is no sin to laugh at the man who allowed himself to deceive in the unaccompanic trap. Unless, of course, it did not have tragic consequences for him.

The trap is not pulled. "A beast trap himself gets" (V. Dal). A person also comes across "voluntarily" - his trash in the trash, laziness, sadness ... A man behind a chessboard is no exception. The moves from general considerations, without taking into account the peculiarities of the position and the possibilities of the enemy, are often not only bad, but also are funny.

Kostytsky - Berman
Liepaja 1973.

Black stroke

Black queen pretended to leave C5 pawn without his guardianship, and went to B8. What for? What did he happen there? But the white elephant, not devoid, apparently, the above human weaknesses, did not think for a long time and swallowed the bait: C: C5. But here the queen (smiling restrained, and maybe loudly laughing - it depends on the upbringing) returned to F8. Elephant in a mousetrap! How the monkey Toto would sweat!

What was ridiculous, for a serious case is no longer suitable. When the old becomes ridiculous, they refuse him and seek a new one. And already from this it follows that the sense of humor contributes to creativity.
Creativity, in whatever the field of human activity, it is neither committed inevitably takes aesthetic form. And every aesthetic process is essentially creative. The need for beauty prompts people to find, appreciate and develop the next routines. But the update and improvement of life is unthinkable and without comic. The main role is ridiculous - anticipate and in a timely manner "to neutralize" everything that sooner or later can become an obstacle to the creative movement.
In comic, as well as in the beautiful, the properties of typical (patterns, generality) and paradoxicality are connected. Therefore, any aesthetically significant phenomenon and makes an inconsistent impression - it seems familiar and unfamiliar, usual and at the same time unusual. Incompatible, it would seem that the properties of typical and paradoxics in the aesthetic process are faced, fighting and transfers each other.
When the superiority of typicality is detected, a sense of excellent occurs. And if the top takes paradoxics, it happens ridiculous or sad.
In a beautiful something, a single and accidental asserts itself as a necessary and universal - paradoxics goes into typicality.
In the comic, on the contrary, the manifestation of a typical (or applying to become such), paradoxically detects its irregularity and inexpediency. At the same time, typical as it may be compromised and divorced.
In other words, comic (funny) reveals the limitations and relativity of what was before (or seemed) unlimited and unconditional.

In the position in the chart wins 1. LH8. Black can not pick up the pawn 1 ... l: a7 in view of 2. LH7 +.
This standard maneuver is known for every little little competent chess player. Is it so much to be surprised that in the position on the next chart of white played 1.Lh8? But the answer of black became a complete and very unpleasant surprise for them: 1 ... LH2 +. Standard maneuver was in this particular case of a rough mistake. White had to surrender. The comic effect of what happened strengthened the fact that white became a victim of exactly the same tactical strike, how were going to win.

Janien - Ridal,
Helsinki, 1959.


White move

It is known that the British distinguishes a subtle sense of tact and strict adherence to the rules of good tone. The features of the British humor are connected with this, often beating paradoxical manifestations typical of the British courtesy.

The English businessman received a letter from a colleague who wrote: "Dear Sir, because my secretary is a lady, I can not dictate her what I think about you. Moreover, since I'm a gentleman, I have no right to even think about you. But since you are neither the other, I hope you understand me right. "

Two Englishmans spent twenty years on a uninhabited island and, as it turned out, did not even get acquainted. On the question of the reasons for this, they resonantly stated: "We had no one to introduce each other!"

At dinner in a rich country mansion, one of the guests, drinking extra, falls face in a plate. The owner calls the butler and says: "Smitters, please, please cook a room for guests. This gentleman kindly agreed to stay with us."

Foreigners English politeness (as well as everything that is characteristic of some more than for others) often seems excessive. Therefore, we may sometimes need to laugh even that the British themselves say quite seriously - just from the feeling of tact.

A student asks Professor to resolve from lecture. The professor responds perfectly seriously: I am Sure It "LL Break Mu Heart, But Wed Maew Leave - I am sure that it breaks my heart, but you can leave.
("In England, with love" T.A. Lavysh, A.L. Rusayev, V.S. Shahalai)

Comic lies halfway to the beautiful, it is tested something that exists in the present, highlights the inconsistency of his claims for the future, but, unlike the beautiful, does not offer anything in return. Fine what needs to be developed and multiplied. Beautiful is a great future. But the future of funny causes doubt, it is ridiculous most often what needs to be pushed and limit, and perhaps and completely eliminate.

The typical of paradoxical beautiful, and the paradoxicity is typical is funny.

Such a definition of a funny may seem too wide, because the unusual forms of manifestation of ordinary things can also generate and positive values. However, laughter is not only denial.
Laughter does not always mean a negative assessment. The court is not yet condemnation. And not everything, what the sense of humor is drawn, deserve the censure. For example, the words M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin about verses: "Why walk in the rope, and even quiet every four steps?" It is clear that this jogging phrase contains no condemnation, but an unusual, paradoxical look at a good friend (it would seem!) Phenomenon. To better understand the usual, you need to see (find) something strange in it. (Viktor Shklovsky called such a reception "Reasterant" And he considered him one of the most important in art). Therefore, a laugh can also be said that he expresses the joy of preconance.


Quite a typical situation: one serves, the other eats .

It happens comic and with a plus sign. In this case, the comic is most closely approaching the beautiful, but still differs from it that a funny case remains a case that has little chance of repetition.
