Index Search Need some help, mate? December 29, 2002 Click "Stop" on your browser to stop the music and "Refresh" to start it. Chess is all about mate. You must admit that the ultimate goal of the game should receive its share of attention. Only problem is that mates never actually occur. Virtually never. Sometimes at an open or in a blitz game a grandmaster will actually deliver mate; and many have done so in their early pre-teen tournaments. But even when they mate it is usually a very mundane affair, with a protected queen slamming itself onto a square next to the enemy king, or one of those perennial backrank affairs. This is natural, because each side is trying to prevent the other from executing a brilliant checkmate. All this is a real shame, because the game of chess contains a vast treasure-trove of extraordinarily beautiful mating motifs. There are thousands and thousands of checkmate positions which we normal human beings playing in regular chess tournaments will never see.

Julian H(aynes) Steward was an American anthropologist best known as one of the leading neoevolutionists of the mid-20th century and as the founder of the theory of cultural ecology. He also did studies of the social organization of peasant villages, conducted ethnographic research among the North American Shoshoni Indians and various South American Indians. Steward acquired a lifelong interest and attachment to the Shoshoni and Northern Paiute Indians. He held an intense drive to salvage and preserve as much information as possible on native North American Indians before all of the information and culture was lost.

He was noted for his role in deciphering the genetic code. He demonstrated that, with the exception of "nonsense codons," each possible triplet (called a codon) of four different kinds of nitrogen-containing bases found in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and, in some viruses, in ribonucleic acid (RNA) ultimately causes the incorporation of a specific amino acid into a cell protein. Robert Burns Woodward (source) Born 10 Apr 1917; died 8 Jul 1979. American chemist best known for his syntheses of complex organic substances, including quinine, the well-known antimalarial (1944), the steroids cholesterol and cortisone (1951), and vitamin B (1971). He also synthesized lanosterol, the famous poison strychnine and reserpine. Several other examples from the chemistry of the alkaloids are lysergic acid, ergonovine, ellipticine, colhicine. In the field of antibiotics Woodward established the structure of aureomycin and terramycin. He has also synthesized chlorophyll, the green plant pigment. He established the structure of many compounds, for instance the peculiar fish poison tetrodotoxin, causing numerous fatalities in Japan. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1965.

59. Surprising Discovery In Known Loyd's #3 Kxg3. Very nice twist on the motives of the well known problem by loyd. Republished by Daniel Novomesky, after samuel loyd, 3355 Pravda November 2001. http://members.tripod.com/~JurajLorinc/chess/novoloyd.htm

Next Surprising discovery in known Loyd's #3 In 2001 there was organized international match Slovakia-Ukraina in 4 sections. In #3 section there was set theme: change of set model mates in #3. My enthusiastic colleague Daniel Novomesky searched a bit among known older problems and he has made a shocking discovery - if we turn the solution of Loyd's castling tanagra #3 into set play, we get another correct threemover, with analogous set play, try and solution. Just watch the things in motion... A bit unfortunately, the judge of the competition put his problem to the last "Slovak" place, thus it was free and quickly published. (A few weeks later...) As it was partially expected, this discovery was too shocking to be real... and it was indeed fortunate for Slovakia not having Daniel's problem placed higher. What happened? I recently received an e-mail from Michael Lipton, one of leading orthodox miniature experts. He writes: "Novomesky's version is anticipated. It was published first by A. J. Taffs, American Chess Bulletin 1960, alongside Loyd's original New York Albion 1857 ... The twins are in Colin Russ's miniature collection, no. 369. ... Note also there is a lovely Shinkman 3er (no. 240 in Russ) that can be twinned to all these by Zeroposition ... Also an old 3er by J. Hane (publication?) that is not on a par with the above fine problems, but really just a cute trick - but another relation."
