Editorial
By Executive Editor, IM Malcolm Pein
Follow me on Twitter: @TelegraphChess
My favourite part of CHESS used to be Ad­
dicts Corner, which was written by Richard
James and the late Mike Fox. One of the
regular features was IAGOCOT which stood
for: 'It's a game of chess out there' and fea­
tured all the journalistic and other verbal
abuses of the royal game.
Some classic analogies stand out. I think
it might have been the famous snooker
commentator Ted Lowe who once said: "A
wonderful
game, snooker, like chess with
balls". This got GM and Oxford mathemati­
cian Jonathan Levitt thinking, and applying
the full weight of his academic training, he
surmised:
Assuming Chess
+
Balls
=
Snooker
Then, subtracting the Balls from both
sides of the equation, we get
Chess
=
Snooker - Balls
It follows that chess is like snooker
without balls, which, of course as he pointed
out, would not be hugely interesting.
And now after Vladimir Putin's annexa­
tion of the Crimea, just a few years after he
performed a similar take-over-
i
n
·
South Os­
setia and bombed Georgia, the media has
gone mad with the chess metaphor. There
have been many who assert that Putin is
playing chess better than the leaders of the
free world or, as House Intelligence Chair
Mike Rogers (R-Ml) put it on that paragon
of balanced reporting
Fox News.
"Putin is
playing chess, and I think we're playing mar­
bles."
Congratulations to Keith Arkell
Keith won the inaugural European 50+
Championship. He scored an unbeaten 7 /9
in Oporto, Portugal, received the trophy
from Garry Kasparov, and celebrated with,
of course, a glass of port. Kudos also to the
individuals who supported Keith's trip after
he posted a request on the English Chess
Forum.
I have long thought the forum ought to
be abolished for the good of some of its
hyperactive contributors and for the sanity
of English chess in general, as most of the
insightful stuff there is drowned out by
colossal outpourings of drivel from people
who seem to have either had a few too
A great result in Oporto or Keith Arkel, the first European
50+
Champion.

many, or had a few taken
away. However, the generos­
ity shown by some on this
occasion certainly makes up
for some of the sins of what
our regular contributor Steve
Giddins once wittily described
as "the termites".
Keith drew his last-round
game and finished half a point
clear. This is perhaps his finest
achievement since he became
a grandmaster in 1995, aside
from some of the massive
scalps he has accumulated in
individual games. Keith's book
Arkells Odyssey
will need an
extra chapter and a reprint. A
full report will be in the next
issue.
Motylev Also On Fire
The European Individual
Championship was staged in
Yerevan and was a triumph for
the former Russian champion
Alexander Motylev, who
scored an unbeaten 9/1 1 and
recorded a 2872 TPR. Secur-
David Anton Guijaro (lef) receives his prize from the legendary Armenian GM Smbat Lputian.
ing victory by a margin of a full point is a
rare feat in such an incredibly competitive
event, but Motylev managed it. There were
no English players at Yerevan which was a
disappointment as it was a qualifier for the
World Cup, but it's an expensive event to
attend and the ECF does not have the funds
to support a squad of players to go there.
France was represented only by their
top players Etienne Bacrot and Laurent
Fressinet, the latter qualifying for the
World Cup. Traditionally these tourna­
ments are dominated by Eastern European
players and this year was no different, but
one performance stood out, that of the
1 9-year-old David Anton Guijarro of Spain
who was second on tie-break with 8/9 and
a TPR of 2 77 5. Anton's scalps included
Bacrot and Baadur Jobava, who has been
the form player of 2014. Anton beat them
in the final two rounds, a spectacular per­
formance.
Motylev started badly with a draw in
round one and in round two needed all his
tactical ingenuity to overcome the Norwe­
gian prodigy Aryan Tari, who played su­
perbly in a sharp Najdorf.
