«StrateGems» - 2016

vasa · 14 Jul 2017

Продолжаем решать «стратегические» проблемы.
Пришло время разобрать призовые этюды конкурса «StrateGems» - 2016, проводимого американским шахматным журналом.

Судья конкурса Peter Gyarmaty пишет:
I judged twenty-three studies by nineteen authors from sixteen countries. There were nine joint compositions. One study, by Ilham Aliev, has a serious anticipation: M.Chodera, Gros, 1938. The Kirillov-Aberman study seems familiar after 2.gxf3, so I did not award this work.
A word about my taste. I like tactical studies, and clear strategic composition. I appreciate the complex structures: two or more main lines and the thematic tries. It is crucial for the study to be an inspired work. I don't like computer based technical play and the many side lines. One more very important thing: the study must be solver-friendly.

№ 1

Мнение судьи:
A beautiful key setting is achieved after the seventh move when Black is in Zugzwang -the main line (the roles are reversed in the try). All moves show tactical motifs. The author built his work superbly, the highlight of the study comes at the end: a minor piece promotion.

Мнение судьи:
Excellent tactical play in classical style. Black’s counterplay is very interesting. After 3…Rxd6 the position is difficult for both sides. My impression is that the ending is not as impressive as in the first prize winner’s study.

Мнение судьи:
A very rich study! The 3.Bc2!! move is excellent, avoids the stalemate trap by opening white rook’s line. While it is true that the material is EGBT after White’s first move, a solver can also find out all moves. The brilliant 6.Rg6!! (instead of try: Rf6?) is not an EGTB move! All side lines contain interesting tactical play.

Мнение судьи:
Clean and elegant elaboration of a strategic theme. White avoids the Zugzwang postitions, and thereby the stalemate traps. A solver-friendly study.

Мнение судьи:
A nice tactical play, but the check and many captures detract. The 7…Qh1 variant is interesting, but 9.Rd7 and 10.Kh7 are EGTB moves.

Мнение судьи:
Two main echo lines with good strategic content. Unfortunately the introductory play is not related to the theme. (Please read the judgment report of ChessBase-25 Study Tourney by John Nunn. He wrote about introductory play in great detail.)

Мнение судьи:
It is well known that Richard is a great composer also without a computer – see his beautiful masterpiece from 1982: Chess Life, 3-4. prize. But this material is rather boring. Otherwise the mate ending is nice, and the technical part was hard work.

№ 8

Мнение судьи:
Is this an analysis of a grandmaster’s practical game? This work is a good technical performance with non-thematic tries. Unfortunately, I don’t see a single tactical motif.

Мнение судьи:
Not a big task, but a nice study. The theme is the well-known foresight, with minimal material.

№ 10

Мнение судьи:
It is a careful work: mainly by the chess program. The main lines are not equivalent in content and in quantities - the ’A’ line is more valuable. The mate ending is good, but overall, the play is not interesting enough.

№ 11

Мнение судьи:
A lovely study. Tarasyuk likes the foresight theme, but this study does not clearly show the theme by 7.e3! and 7.e4?, since the difference between the two lines is not small.

№ 12

Мнение судьи:
It seems that the authors researched Q+R vs. two Queens material. It is clear that this is an EGTB work by chess program analysis. Nevertheless the game is interesting if you know the solution.
