Chess Trivia - M - Mackenzie, Arthur (1861-1905) Chessplayer who composed chess problems when he was blind. He was responsible for the popularity of the two-mover in the early 20th century. By coincidence, a problem submitted to a composing tournament was almost identical to another problem submitted by H. Lane. They both featured the same key move. By a greater coincidence, H. Lane was also blind. Mackenzie, George (1837-1891) Winner of the second, third, and fifth American Chess Congresses. Recognized as American chess champion from 1865 to 1890. He was a Lieutenant in the British army and a Captain in the US Army, fighting for the North during the Civil War. Maelzel, Johann (1772-1838) Mechanical engineer who bought the Turk from Wolfgang von Kempelen's son. He supposedly invented the metronome and was a good friend of Beethoven. Prince Eugene de Beauharnais bought the Turk from Maelzel in 1811 for 30,000 francs and Maelzel gave part of the money to Beethoven. In 1817 he bought the Turk back from the Prince for the same sum. No cash was handed over to the Prince, but Maelzel was to pay from any profit he might make. The Prince died but his heirs sued Maelzel for the balance. Maelzel fled to America with the Turk to escape the debts and lawsuits. Maelzel was buried at sea in 1838 after dying on a ship bound from Cuba to America. Magazine, Chess

Indian Hat-trick at 2002 BCF Championships Ramachandran B Ramesh won the first prize by taking advantage of a blunder in a promising position by the young English grandmaster Luke McShane in the last round. Ramachandran works for the India Oil Corporation and comes from Chennai (Madras), India. The 2001 champion, Joe Gallagher, was second placed with another Indian, Krishnan Sasikiran. Krishnan takes the BCF under 21 title for the fourth time! Stewart Haslinger, Glenn Flear, Luke McShane, Abhijit Kunte (India) and Dibyendu Barua (India) were joint 4th-8th. The last non-British player to win the BCF championship was Abe Yanovsky (Canada) nearly half a century ago, when he was a student at Oxford. The first indian to win the BCF title was Mir Sultan Khan in 1929, 1932 and 1933. English Midland's successes were: Mark Hebden (Leicester) 6 /11; Maxim Devereux (Hereford) with 5 /11; Li Wu (Nuneaton) and Nick Thomas (Warwickshire) both with 5/11. David Anderton (Walsall Kipping) came second with 5/7 in the BCF Senior (over 60) competition and Jeff Heath (Redditch) scored 3/7 in the same event.

Submit your questions (with you full name and country of residence please) and perhaps Bruce will reply in his next Chess Cafe column... Yes, I have a question for Bruce! It's Not So Much What, But How Question I have a rating of 2048 in the FIDE list (it has steadily declined from 2095). I don’t play tournaments that regularly. People tell me (and even I believe) that I play much better in practice than in tournaments. I am prone to losing my nerve in the critical moment especially in time pressure. I used to be a decent blitz player, but nowadays I have become terrible at it. In the early days (i.e., when I got a rating in 1994/95) I liked playing in a flourishing style, wanting to attack and take risks all the time. But then My System hit me. It had a calming influence on my style. I read the book three times and also

56. MUSLIMS IN INDIAN SPORTS chess. mir sultan khan is the forgotten hero of Indian chess. He wasthe first Indian to have taken part in international tournaments http://www.india-emb.org.eg/section 3/sec 3 eng/MUSLIMS IN INDIAN SPORTS.html

Muslims In Indian Sports By K. Datta It would be difficult to imagine the Indian sports scene without the Muslims in it, so enriching has been their contribution. It is 45 years since the subcontinent was divided, but old sports buffs refuse to accept that, or any other point of time in history, as a cut-off point. The Muslims always were part and parcel of Indian sport and continue to be so. There is hardly a game in which they have not played a prominent part. Hockey or cricket, soccer or wrestling, athletics or racket games, Muslim participation has added flair and distinction. No better wrestler has lived in the subcontinent than the late legendary Gama. In the 1970s Meher Din was a popular champion famous for his war cry of Ya Mere Maula, when he stepped into the akhara. What a specimen of manhood! In the track and field world Ilyas Babar Has made a name for himself as a coach after his days as an outstanding university athlete in Hyderabad. The great Sriram Singh, Olympic 800 meters finalist, is the best known of the self-effacing Babar Sahib’s many pupils. Even the more ‘exclusive’ sports like equestrianism and golf have been enriched by Muslim participation. Major G. M. Khan of the Indian army made a splendid figure on horseback as he expertly rode his way to a gold medal in the 1982 Asian Games at New Delhi. Ali Sher, a humble caddy, won the coveted Indian Open Tournament in 1991. Hockey or cricket, it is difficult to say which of these is our national game. But whichever one prefers to choose, the Muslims can be proud of their contribution. The hockey ‘wizard’ Dhyan Chand and Dara (Ali Iqtidar Shah) were members of the same team in the 1932 Berlin Olympics. They combined on the pitch by instinct. The two were members of different battalions of the Punjab regiment in undivided India and were separated only when Lt. Dara’s unit was transferred to Malaya during World War II. Taken prisoner of war by the Japanese, Dara joined Netaji Subhas Bose’s Indian National Army in which he became a Colonel. After Independence both men made significant contributions to hockey in their respective countries, but at heart the two were inseparable.

60. Hoofdstuk IV Schaakmeester Edgard COLLE deelnemer was de Indiër mir sultan khan, een waardige voorbode van de huidigewereldtopper V. Anand. Bled 1931 International chess Tournament (Caissa http://home.tiscali.be/markbauwens/ec_biografie.htm

Edgard COLLE De grootste speler die onze vereniging tot nog toe heeft gekend - en zonder overdrijving de grootste speler in België evenzeer - was de rasechte Gentenaar Edgard Colle. Hij werd geboren op 18 mei 1897 en overleed eveneens in de Arteveldestede op 19 april 1932 aan de gevolgen van een langdurige maagkwaal. (Even stip ik aan dat Golombek in zijn Schaakencyclopedie 20 april als sterfdatum aangeeft.) N.V.D.R. Na inlichtingen te hebben ingewonnen bij de bevoegde stadsdiensten blijkt wel degelijk de datum van 19 april de sterfdatum te zijn. Vooraleer ik de voornaamste resultaten van Colle op een rij zet, wil ik u nadrukkelijk wijzen op de uitgebreide bibliografie waaruit ik heb geput om het leven èn de partijen vanColle te belichten. Er is wat de schaakontwikkeling van Colle betreft, heel wat verloren gegaan. Wat wij welweten is dat hij op 20-jarige leeftijd het kampioenschap van zijn stad Gent won (1917) , hij in 1922 al beslag wist te leggen op de Belgische titel en van dan af hij de toon aangaf in het nationale schaakleven. Hij werd 6 keer Belgisch kampioen, de laatste keer in Gent 1929.
