An interesting note from outside ofMontana.bOBBY FISCHER MAKES HISMOVE IN ARGENTINA (PressRelease from Argentina)Bobby Fischer returned to BuenosAires, Argentina after 25 years and itwas as if he had never left. At apress conference on June 19 in theArgentine capital, the World ChessChampion was received by hundredsof journalists and chess fans, manyof whom had come from all over theworld. It was apparent fromthe feeling of anticipation in theroom before he arrived that theFischer mystique is alive and well.The object of the conference was topublicize the launch of Fischer's newgame, Fischerandom Chess, and toannouncethematchofFischerandom Chess betweenPhilippine Grandmaster Eugene Torreand two-time Argentine championInternational Master Pablo Ricardiwhich begins July 12. Both playersattendedthe conference and displayedenthusiasm regarding the match andthe new game.Before taking questions from theassembled press, Fischer spoke outon several topics. He apologized forbringing up subjects unrelated toFischerandom Chess, and he thenbegan a counterattack on severalcompanies that he claimed had beendefrauding him of huge amounts ofmoney as well as trying to destroyhis image.He targeted the British publisherBatsford for releasing a forged andunauthorized new edition of hisrenowned chess classic "My 60Memorable Games", for deliberatelymaking erroneous changes in thetext itself and for never having paidhim royalties for the book. He alsoattackedthemotionpicturecompany Paramount, producer of thehit film "Searching for BobbyFischer", saying he never received "apenny" from the film. He alsomentioned a CD-ROM, "BobbyFischer Teaches Chess", that hadbeen made using his nameunlawfully. He strongly criticized USSecretary of Commerce MickeyKantor for not protecting hisintellectual property rights in directcontradiction with Kantor's positionon Red China, which Kantor hasdenounced for alleged violations ofinternational copyrights. Fischerangrily accused the U.S. governmentof a double standard and disgustinghypocrisy in this regard. He madethe point that his new, improvedversion of classical chess willeliminate the large amount ofstudy and analysis that are involvedin chess. He stated that manygames areprearranged before the players beginthe game, and that even the socalled world championship matchesbetween Russian players Kasparovand Karpov had been prearranged,and that this would be impossible inFischerandom Chess.Fischer also ridiculed the U.S.government for indicting him andissuing a federal arrest warrant in hisname for his alleged violation of anexecutive order by then PresidentBush barring U.S. citizens from doingbusiness with Yugoslavia. Fischerclaimed one of the reasons the U.S.government has indicted him andissued the arrest warrant, which isvalid all over the USA, was toprevent him from returning to theUSA to get access to his enormousfile on the first so-called worldchampionshipmatchbetweenKarpov and Kasparov so that hecould write a book proving that thatmatch was prearranged move bymove.After making these impassionedremarks,Fischeransweredquestions from the press for nearlyan hour. In explaining the conceptsbehind Fischerandom Chess, Fischersaid that although the rules arebasically the same as those oftraditional chess, each game beginsfrom a different starting position,randomlychosenbytheFischerandom Chess ComputerizedShuffler, making creativity and chesstalent more important than analysisand memorization. He also pointedout that due to such long hours infront of the computer screen andwith books, many top young playerstoday, such as Kamsky, Kramnik andAnand, wear thick glasses. He alsomentioned that all of the studynecessary to play conventionalchess made it into hard work, andthat he had got into chess in order toavoid work!With many people wondering aboutthe future of chess after the IBMcomputer Big Blue beat GarryKasparov earlier this year, Fischer'sstatement that computers would beat a considerable disadvantage inFischerandom Chess received agreat deal of attention. He statedthat without access to databases ofthe millions of opening variations in3
itraditional chess, computers do notreally play chess all that well.Now the world awaits the firstFischerandom Chess match whichwill commence at Pasaje DardoRocha in the Argentine city of LaPlata on July 12. The matchbetween Torre and Ricardi will beplayed until one player accumulatesfour victories, draws not counting.The appearance of Robert J. Fischerin Buenos Aires left no onedisappointed. After finishing with thequestions, Bobby signed autographsfor the dozens of fans who had cometo catch a glimpse of the legendarygenius. Many of the chess fans hadclear memories of his last visits toBuenos Aires in the early seventies.Fischer's popularity here was clearlyshown as well by the intensecoverage by all the local media.Everyone is eagerly looking forwardto Bobby Fischer's next move,whether it be on or off the board.RULES OF FISCHERANDOM CHESSA little known and longdiscarded offshoot of Classical Chessistherealmof so-called"Randomized Chess" in its variousforms.FischerandomChess(hereinafter referred to as "F.R.Chess") stands for Bobby Fischer'snew and improved version of"Randomized Chess".F.R. Chess uses algebraicnotation exclusvely.At the start of every game ofF.R. Chess, both players' Pawns areset up exactly as they are at thestart of every game of ClassicalChess.In F.R. Chess, just before thestart of every game, both players'pieces on their respective back rowsreceive an identical random shuffleusing the Fischerandom ChessComputerized Shuffler, which isprogrammed to set up the pieces inany combination, with the provisosthat one Rook has to be to the leftand one Rook has to be to the rightof the King, and one Bishop has to beon a light-colored square and oneBishop has to be on a dark-coloredsquare.White and Black haveidentical positions. From behindtheirrespectivePawnstheopponents' pieces are facing eachother directly, symmetrically. Thusfor example, if the shuffler placesWhite's back row pieces in thefollowing position: Ral, Bbl, Kcl,Ndl, Bel, Nfl, Rgl, Qhl, it willplace Black's back row Pieces in thefollowing position,Ra8, Bb8, Kc8, Nd8, Be8, Nf8, Rg8,Qh8, etc.In F.R. Chess there are 960possible starting positions, theClassical Chess starting position and959 other starting positions.Of necessity. In F.R. Chess thecastling rule is somewhat modifiedand broadened to allow for thepossibility of each player castlingeither on or into his or her left side oron or into his or her right side of theboard from all of these 960 startingpositions.Pleasepoints:notethefollowinga) In F.R. Chess, depending onthe pre-castling position of thecastling King and Rook, the castlingmaneuver is performed by one ofthese four methods:1. By on one turn making one movewith the King, and making one movewiththe Rook ("double-move" castling).2. By transposing the position of theKing and the Rook ("transposition"castling).3. By making only one move - withthe King ("King-move-only" castling).4. By making only one move - n: In F.R. Chess, whetheryou"double-move"castle,"transposition" castle, "King-moveonly" castle, or "Rook-move-only"castle, in all cases always both theKing and the Rook jointly are deemedto be castling, and to have castled.b) In F.R. Chess when "doublemove" castling, if the King isstanding on the square the Rook willoccupy naturally you must move theKing first and then the Rook; if theRook is standing on the square theKing will occupy naturally you mustmove the Rook first and then theKing; othenwise whether you movethe King first and then the Rook, orthe Rook first and then the King isstrictly your choice.c) In F.R. Chess, when "doublemove" castling either the Kingjumps over the Rook or else theRook jumps over the King.d) In F.R. Chess, when "Kingmove-only" castling the King alwaysjumps over the Rook.4
e) In F.R. Chess, when "Rookmove-only" castling the Rook alwaysjumps over the King.f) "a"-side castling (0-0-0), and"h"-side castling (0-0) are the F.R.Chess equivalents of Queen-side orlong castling (0-0-0), and King-sideor short castling (0-0) respectively,of Classical Chess.g) In F.R. Chess:1. White's "a"-side castling (0-0-0) isperformed withthehithertounmoved White King and thehitherto unmoved Rook standing toits left. After White's "a"-side castling(0-0-0) the White King stands on c1and the aforementioned Rook standson dl. Black's "a"-side castling (. 00-0) is performed with the hithertounmoved Black King and the hithertounmoved Rook standing to its right.After White's "a'-side castling (0-0-0)the Black King stands on c8 and theaforementioned Rook stands ondS.2. White's "h"-side castling (0-0) isperformed withthehithertounmoved White King and thehitherto unmoved Rook standing toits right. After White's "h"-sidecastling (0-0) the White King standson gl and the aforementioned Rookstands on fl. Black's "h"-side castling(. 0-0) is performed with thehitherto unmoved Black King and thehitherto unmoved Rook standing toits left. After Black's "h"-side castling{. 0-0) the Black King stands on g8and the aforementioned Rook standson f8.h) When castling in F.R. Chess,you are not allowed to make anycapture(s).i) When castling in F.R. Chess,no other piece(s), yours or youropponent's, are allowed to standbetween the castling King and Rook.j) In F.R. Chess, when in check,you are not allowed to castle.Or, put another way: In F.R. Chessyou are not allowed to castle "out" ofcheck.k) In F.R. Chess you are notallowed to castle into check.I) When castling in F.R. Chess,your King is not allowed to movethrough check, or shall we say any"checked" square (same thing), noris your King allowed to jump overyou own Rook if and when said Rookstands on a "checked" square. (A"checked" square is a square that isattacked by one or more of youropponent's pieces.)ml In F.R. Chess, aftercompleting your first move of"double-move" castling it is quitepossible and not at all illegal for youropponent to be in a position where,were it your opponent's move,your opponent would be instalemate, check, or checkmate.Should after completing your firstmove of "double-move" castling oneof these three aforementionedsituations exist you are to ignore itand make your prescribed secondmove of "double-move" castling.n) Exception: In F.R. Chess,when your first move of "doublemove" castling, or at least whatcould become your first move of"double-move"castling,alsoconstitutes a completely standardnon-castling King or Rook move, thechoice of whether to proceed withyour second move of "double-move"castling or to consider your move asan already completed non-castlingmove is yours to make. You signifyyour choice for the former by firstmaking your second move of"double-move" castling and thenpushing the app ropriate button onthe chess clock, you signify yourchoice for the latter simply bypushing the appropriate button onthe chess clock.o) Suggestion: When playing afriendly game of F.R. Chess withoutbenefit of a chess clock, to avoid anypossible confusion or disputes, itmight sometimes be a good idea toannounce to your opponent justbefore you castle, "I'm going tocastle."p) In F.R. Chess:1. Once the White King has moved,White is not allowed to castle for therest of the game. Once the BlackKing has moved, Black is notallowed to castle for the rest of thegame.2. Once the heretofore unmovedRook standing to the left of theunmoved White King has moved,White is not allowed to "a"-sidecastle (0-0-0) for the rest of thegame.Once the heretoforeunmoved Rook standing to the rightof the unmoved Black King hasmoved. Black is not allowed to "a"side castle (. 0-0-0) for the rest ofthe game.3. Once the heretofore unmovedRook standing to the right of theunmoved White King has moved.White is not allowed to "h"-sidecastle (0-0) for the rest of the game.Once the heretofore unmoved Rookstanding to the left of the unmovedBlack King has moved. Black is not5
allowed to "h"-side castle (. 0-0) forthe rest of the game.All the other rules are the sameas in Classical Chess.4. Any appearances to the contrarynotwithstanding,you are notconsidered to be castled or to havecastled unless you yourself haveactually castled, i.e. performed thecastling maneuver. In other words: Ifyou havent castled, you haventcastled.If you are ever in any doubtabout the correct "before" and "after"castling positions in F.R. Chess,please consult the following tables,showing all (84) possibilities ofcastling, (42) for White, and (42) forBlack:5. Once White has castled. White isnot allowed to castle again for therest of the game. Once Black hascastled. Black is not allowed tocastle again for the rest of the game.q) Tip: In F.R. Chess, when it ismomentarily impossible to "a"-sidecastle (0-0-0) because of theobstructing position of your otherunmoved Rook, or vice versa, whenit is momentarily impossible to "h"side castle (0-0) because of theobstructing posit ion of your otherunmovedRook, do not be confounded. Theseare frequent occurrences in F.R.Chess. Play proceeds in accordancewith the rules in this rulebook.r) Remark: In F.R. Chess,depending upon the starting position,and how the grme develops, it mayoften occur that in the positionsproduced immediately after "a"-sidecastling (0-0-0), one, two, or allthree of the squares for White a1,b1, and el (for Black a8, b8, and eS),and after "h"-side castling (0-0), oneor both of the squares for White eland hi (for Black e8 and h8) are notvacant, as they automatically are, forexample, in Classical Chess.Before:Kf8;Re8,d8,After: Kc8; Rd8.Before:Ke8; Rd8,After: Kc8; Rd8.Before:Kd8;c8,c8,Rc8,After: Kc8; Rd8.Before:Kc8;After: Kc8; Rd8.Before: Kb8; Ra8After: Kc8; Rd8.b8orb8b8Rb8ororora8a8a8a8All twenty-one Black "Before" and the one"After" position of "h"-sideAll twenty-one White "Before" and the one"After" position of "a"-sidecastling (0-0-0):Before: Kgl; Rfl, e l , d l , c l , b1 or a l .After: K c l ; Rdl.Before: Kfl; R e l , d l , c l , b1, or a l .After: K c l ; Rdl.Before: Kel; R d l ,After: K c l ; Rdl.Before:Kdl;After: K c l ; Rdl.cl,Rcl,Before:Kcl;After: K c l ; Rdl.Before: Kbi; RalAfter; K c l ; Rdl.bl,blRblorororal.al.alcastling (. 0-0):Before; Kb8; Rc8, d8, e8, f8, g8 or h8After: Kg8; Rf8.Before; Kc8; Rd8, e8, f8, g8 orAfter: Kg8; Rf8.Before;Kd8; Re8, f8,g8orAfter: KgB; Rf8.Before;Ke8;Rf8,g8orh8h8h8After: Kg8; Rf8.Before: Kf8; Rg8 or h8After; Kg8; Rf8.Before: Kg8; Rh8After: Kg8; RfBAll twenty-one White "Before" and the one"After" position of "h"-sidecastling (0-0):Before: Kbl; R c l , d l , e l , f l , gl or h i .After: Kgl; Rfl.Before: Kcl; Rdl, e l , f l , gl or hiAfter: Kgl; Rfl.Before:Kdl;Rel, fl,glorhiAft

Comparing Solitaire Chess to Standard Chess: Solitaire Chess is a single-player logic puzzle, not a chess game. Recreational mathematicians classify it as a “chess task,” meaning that it uses the rules of chess with appropriate adaptations. With Solitaire Chess, the basic piece movements are the same as with standard chess.
Millions of chess games have been recorded from the very beginning of chess history to the last tournaments of top chess players. Meanwhile chess engines have continuously improved up to the point they cannot only beat world chess champion
a chess teacher, Vladimir Pafuutieff, said to me, "Chess Combinations are the punch in chess. You have to develop your chess skills by understanding combinations. Virtually every chess game has a chess combination. You have to learn to recognize when a combination is available and you must land the blow! If you do this you will win a lot of .
