Talking Chess with
Joel Benjamin
He has made the U.S. Championship an annual stop for over two decades.
The format of the audio column is mp3. Check out Fred's interview of the
articulate American grandmaster Joel Benjamin in his latest
Fred Wilson Talks Chess column.
Emotional
Momentum
You have an advantage, but
you then fail to adjust your perspective when the advantage either
disappears or changes. What just happened? In his latest column, Nigel
Davies suggests it might be worthwhile to examine this phenomenon. So,
Let's Take A Look...
The Prelude
Pre-match, jockeying, negotiating, give-and-take. Appearance fees, prize
funds, time controls, and other relevant aspects were debated, discussed
and eventually agreed upon. Are we following one of the great Ks as they
prepare to take center stage again?
Maybe not.
Demonstration
Boards
We have had a lot of inquiries about demonstration boards. We will soon
have no less than three kinds of demo boards available: The Basic: An inexpensive
"slotted" demo board in the $40 range; The Deluxe: A high-end magnetic board that
folds into its custom case in the $100 range; and The Superior: A
mid-range offering priced in the $60 range. The
Superior Demo
Board in fact is now available.
