| Freddie Bartholomew and Judy Garland play chess in between takes. |
We had another new player - John M. join the club this week. Welcome John.
We have open chess every Monday night and Kid's Night on every second Monday of the month.
Starting in September, we plan either a Club Chess League or a free tournament of some kind.
We also have a continuous running "Ladder" tournament you can join.
Hope to see you at the Club!
Here is an EVEN endgame where one side thinks he can push thru a win. Sometimes a draw is the best you can do.
38. g3 g4
39. Kd3 Kd5
40. Ke3?? .......
White thinks his c and d-pawns will keep the Black king from moving forward on the queen-side or defending on the king-side. So he goes for the win, which is not there.
40. ....... e5
41. dxe5 Kxe5
42. c6 Kd6
43. Kf4 a4
44. Kg5 b3
45. axb3 axb3
46. Kxh5 b2
47. Kxg4 b1 = Q
48. h4 Kxc6
49. Kg5 Qh7
50. White resigns
