Excerpt fom EG168 : " Before giving some examples I should formulate a general rule: according to classical endgame theory, one extra minor piece wasn't sufficient for a win in a pawnless position.

King Gustav III of Sweden invented this board ( http://hem.passagen.se/melki9/gustaviii.htm ) and placed Amazons in the extra corners.

The rook ends up on its usual square. The extended...

From the beginning, it has been assumed that all these nasty, obscene postings by "The Fake Sam Sloan" have been authored by Paul Truong and at most Susan Polgar knew about them but did not actually write them.

There is a really nice piece about Smyslov at http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/2007/07/remarkable-smyslov.html "I just play by hand," Smyslov once jokingly described his intuitive style, based not so much on calculations as on a great understanding of the interaction between the pieces. It earned him the nickname "the Hand." It made this game spring to mind.

Going into the last round of the World Chess Olympiad, the chances of the US Team for any kind of medal were somewhere between slim and none, as they faced the world-class team of the Mighty Ukraine. On every board, the USA team was outrated by an average of 60 rating points. This made the chances that the USA team might even be able to draw the match to be approximately nil. Amazingly, the USA...
