What Russia Taught The World About Chess Written by Alexey Zakharov In the last hundred or so years, Russia became almost synonymous with chess. The country in its many incarnations Russian Empire, Soviet Union, and now “just” Russia produced more grandmasters and world champions than any other, and its players enriched the ancient game immensely. So, let’s now delve (shallowly, and then, of course, more and more deeply) into what Russia and its predecessor states brought to the world of chess. Long, Tongue-Twisting Names It’s more of a joke entry, of course, but GM Ian Nepomniachtchi, the new challenger to GM Magnus Carlsen, is only the latest in the long, distinguished line of Russian and Soviet players who look like an absolutely insurmountable wall of letters when written in English, such as Roman Dzindzichashvili, Zurab Azmaiparashvili, Elena Fatalibekova, Alexander Konstantinopolsky, Olga Semenova-Tyan-Shanskaya, Alexander Ilyin-Zhenevsky, and F ....

Martin Buber (Dutch National Archives) Books have stories, and not only those told between their covers by their authors or in the marketing copy by their publishers.

For me, Martin Buber’s Tales of the Hasidim is a story that involves a failing marriage, an employer who I wanted to impress, the loneliness of business travel, and the associations of a singular volume that make it unique. I married in 1989 at age 21, and from the start it was not a success. We had just completed college, and I think we each felt compelled as part of the graduation ritual to pick a mate. Two wonderful children came early, for whom I’ll always be grateful, but neither husband nor wife was happy for long. ....
For most of true chess aficionados, Mikhail Tal is not just a legendary world champion but a true symbol of attacking in chess. He got his name The Magician for his inimitable ability to start a king hunt in almost any position. How did he do it? Well, thousands of chess books and articles written about Tal describe his favorite sacrifices as well as his general attitude that he described as sacrifice first and calculate later. Today, I want to discuss one of his lesser-known attacking ideas, which nevertheless can be quite powerful. Mikhail Tal in 1973. Photo: R. Mieremet/Dutch National Archives, CC. ....
In Amsterdam, the personal card of every Holocaust victim returns to Jewish hands
March 5, 2021 The Jewish Council of Amsterdam was a body set up by the Nazis to have Jews oversee preparations for the extermination of their own minority throughout the Netherlands during World War II. AMSTERDAM (JTA) - Sonja Levy was a positive person who made an excellent first impression and whose important position exempted her from deportation, according to the personal card that the Jewish Council of Amsterdam made for her during the Nazi occupation. But the accolades on the card weren t enough to save Levy, a kindergarten teacher who was in her early 20s when the Germans invaded. ....
