Leonard Barden on Chess
May 19th, 2012England’s chess league is called the 4NCL, a misnomer which needs explanation. The original concept was for an all-UK event but apart from a few Welsh squads all 50-plus teams are English.
The 4NCL name has become enshrined in tradition and the league is now the most popular team event on the chess calendar, as grandmasters and amateurs compete in good conditions at its upmarket hotel venues in the South and Midlands.
Wood Green Hilsmark often fielded an all-GM team, won every match and became champions by one of the widest margins in league history. Wood Green’s North London base makes them the Tottenham of chess, but their supremacy is of an order that Harry Redknapp could only dream of. Guildford were second and White Rose Yorkshire third.
One attraction for lower division teams is that they can play their own matches, then watch the GM elite in action. All 4NCL’s fixtures are completed over five weekends, each with two or three matches, which means that top players like the England No1, Michael Adams, can be multileague mercenaries, a rare status (shared with speedway) in team sport. Adams plays for Wood Green, for the Bundesliga champions Baden-Baden and for a leading Spanish team. Other English GMs represent French or Italian clubs as well as competing in the 4NCL. Only the Russian league remains, so far, off limits.
Paired with the dangerous Simon Williams in the Wood Green v Kent match, Adams chose restrained development, waiting for Williams’s attack which began with 20 f4 (20 e5!), then struck back with the pawn offer 20…d3! White should have gone for 22 Qxd3 when Rd8-d4 gives Black compensation, but his 22 Nd2? was far too optimistic. Williams reckoned that his queen-knight duo operating against the black king would compensate for material loss, but Adams found the nice regroup Qc4-d4+-d8-h8! which forced a queen swap after which White gave up.

Davao girls bag chess gold in Palaro
May 17th, 2012The pair of woodpushers Rowelyn Joy Acedo and Ella Grace Moulic, both of Davao City captured the gold medals in chess in the just-concluded 2012 Palarong Pambansa held n Lingayen, Pangasinan.
The 13-year old Moulic pocketed the gold in Board 2 of the girls’ secondary chess after scoring 6.5 points in seven games. She also combined for a total of 11 points with 15-year old Acedo, who took the individual bronze in Board 1 with 4.5 points in seven games that earned them the gold in the team event.
The Dabawenyas also beat their early favourite rivals from the National Capital Region in the penultimate round. Acedo , who already earned a full scholarship with the La Salle University in Taft starting next school year, defeated reigning Shell Youth chess champion Jane Karen Enriquez to avenge her early setback in Manila.
“This is a big improvement for the Davraa chess team,” said James Infiesto, regional director of the National Chess Federation of the Phils. (NCFP) at the weekly SCOOP of the Royal Mandaya Hotel.
Also present were Austin Jacob Literatus, who earned the silver in the individual boy’s secondary and the bronze in the team event, coach Alfred Moulic and City Councilor Jackson Reyes.
“I’m really very proud of them and we from the city will continue to support them,” said Reyes, who gave a financial help to the chess players together with Mayor Inday Sara Duterte.
In last year’s Palaro, Acedo, who graduated high school at the Jose Maria College, won the individual Board 1 gold while Moulic settled for a silver. Moulic, a second year high school student of the Holy Cross of Davao College, also ruled the national age-group held earlier in Cagayan de Oro
Acedo, Moulic and Literatus are now both set to play in the ASEAN Age-Group Chess Championships slated on June 10-20 in Hue, Vietnam.
Literatus, 15, of Dona Carmen Denia National High School also emerged champion in the NCFP Grand Finals held earlier in Batangas to also represent the country to the Asian Youth Chess Championships on June 22-23 in Sri Lanka. (SCOOP/LDR)

The last date for filing entries along with a fee of Rs 300 per head will be May 21 after which a late fee of Rs 50 will be levied. “We are being contacted by players from Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Nagaland and Meghalaya to participate in the tournament. We are also expecting over 50 players from the city schools,” Kakati said.
He said the winner would be richer by Rs 8,000 along with the trophy and the runners-up would take home Rs 7,000. There will be prize money till the 15th position holder, along with trophies and mementos.
