Play online chess |  Subject: Beware of the Long Range Bishop
Message:
Long range bishops can do a lot of damage. We are used to losing material through knight forks etc. but what about the bishops? Well, I have two annotated games where my long range bishops have scored big points. I have called these games "Ware of the Long Range Bishop" Part 1 and Part 2.
The weather is really hot in England at the moment so I think I will have a drink of water when I have typed this.
Have a nice evening folks!
Bye for now.
Joanne

Shankland Is US Junior Chess Champion — Samuel Shankland, an 18-year-old international master, survived a three-way playoff on Tuesday to win the United States junior chess championship. Shankland was the No. 2 seed, but he beat Ray Robson, the top seed and a chess grandmaster, in an Armageddon game to claim the title. As there were three players tied for first, there were two playoff games. Robson, by virtue of having the better tie-breaker scores, met the winner of the first game. In that one, Shankland beat Parker Zhao. The playoff involved long Armageddon games, just like the one used at the U.S. Chess Championship earlier this year.
