 IMPLODES+K = Excellent ChessBefore I explain about " IMPLODES+K = to play Excellent Chess, let me explain about implodes and implosion so that you can remember easily for the rest of your life. en.wikipedia.org During second world war there was a top secret plan to develop WMD called Manhattan project where top scientists all over from USA assembled and figured out to build a nuclear bomb. If you go to the above link, you will see how implosion type nuclear bomb works. Basically, you put the plutonium or uranium in the center of the bomb surrounded by explosives in a metal sphere. The explosives when detonated simultaneously from all sides equally will exert enormous heat and pressure on plutonium which again exploded very big in a chain reaction as a nuclear bomb. The experiment was successful and the US dropped a nuclear bomb each on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing thousands of Japanese and thus dropped Japan to her knees. The war ended very quickly. The analogy of war and chess is grotesque but the goal is the same, that is to kill the enemy. The more you can kill and defeat the enemy within a short time you will become a good warrior in war as well as in chess. This is the name of the game. |

ace, just to set the historical record straight. . . each a man of conscience, to build for your Military to use on civilian targets the most destructive and horrible weapon ever conceived -- think again. it was a horror conceived to end a horror. With the promise of a weapon that would end the Nazi horror of rounding up Europe's Jews and gassing Jewish women boys girls and men by the millions in the ovens of Hiter's concentration camps, refugee Jewish physicists in America were persuaded to band together and create an weapon to unleash Einstein's theorized power of the atom when mass is converted into energy -- and after years driven by the goal to end Hitler before he killed another million Jews .... they produced a fission bomb that actually never was used against another white-skinned enemy like the German Nazis-- but in its infinite wisdom the U.S. Military decided it was OK to use the anti-Nazi weapon against the yellow-skinned enemy of the hated Japanese -- and in cities with high concentrations of its people. . . |

In less eloquent dialogue... I'm an American as well, Ace, so I think I know where you're coming from. But as Shamash pointed out, the complexities of that period in history and the ramifications of it should be held with deep respect for everyone involved. Perhaps a name that does not hearken back to the killing of thousands of Japanese, many of whose descendants we may very well play here on Gameknot, may be a better choice. |

Shamash, the philosopher! en.wikipedia.org I agree with you that war is very horrible and in big wars like first and second world wars there are inevitable collateral damage killing many innocent people. Atomic bomb was discovered late and the allied troops were winning in Europe. There was no need to use nuclear weapons against Germany in Europe. To fight the Fascist Japan was a different story. In the battle of Iwo Jima although the US won it was a bloody fight. So, if the US invaded Japan without the use of nucear bombs about 1 million lives will be lost. By using atom bombs on 2 large Japanese cities less than 200,000 lives, mostly Japanese were lost. The end justified the means. It does not matter whether, the skin color is black, white or yellow, at times human beings are very cruel against each other. Please go to the above links, Japanese killed 250,000 in Nanking and over 100.000 in the construction of Burma-Thai railway. At one time Mongol king Genghis Khan ruled ruthlessly by his army in eastern Europe and Asia. You are saying that intelligent physicists should not invent such horrible weapon to kill innocent people. Do you realized that God also killed innocent people? Let us focus our attention on chess. Legend said chess was invented in ancient India so that warring factions would fight peacefully on chessboards without loss of lives and property. |

IMPLODES+K = Excellent Chess en.wikipedia.org IMPLODES+K = Excellent Chess. This is not my original idea. It is taken from Chess Life May 2008 issue by Dana MacKenzie who got the idea again from Jeremy Silman's " How to reassess your chess." I have this book also and Silman's concept of excellent chess is summarized into this nutshell. The first letter I stands for " Initiative" which means " begin." In military terms, the closest meaning is, " Pre-emptive war or strike.' If you go to the above links you will find the importance of pre-emptive strike. In 6 day Arab-Israeli war of 1967, israeli airplanes bomb the airfields of Egypt, Jordan and Syria first. The Arab troops became sitting ducks and Israel won the war. The analogy is similar. If you can attack or strike the opponent first in chess, you have advantage and can win the game. |

I = Initiative Regarding I for Initiative, let me give the analogy from the movie " A fistful of dollars " starring Clint Eastwood. The war with Japan and US is not a good analogy because US has superior firepower nuclear bomb near the end of war. Chess game has equal chances for both players of equal rank in the beginning. You can say that White has a slight advantage for moving first but if the two players take each turn with balck and white in two games, both have definite equal chances. In the movie A fistful of Dollars, all have the same type of guns- revolvers and no machine guns or heavy weapons but what makes Clint Eastwood survive and win the gunfights is his initiative or pre-emptive strike. In a spit second before his enemy can draw a gun and shoot him, he is the one who can do it first before the enemy. This is all about " Initiative" and if you can kill the enemy first, nothing much he can do to you now. This is the name of the game. |

M = Material M = Material P = Pawn structure L = Lines O = Officers D = Development E = Economy/Efficiency S = Strategy + K = King Chess Material are pawns, N, B, R, Q, K. The value of king is infinite because when we lose king ( mated ) the game is over. If the pawn value is 1, N & B is approximately 3, R=5. And Q = 9. These values are relative similar to Einstein's theory of relativity. Knights are more valuable in the beginnig of the game and if you can place it in the center of the chess board compared to bishops pair which will be more valuable when there are less pieces on the board. We try to capture the enemy pieces or scarifice material to win the game. |

Chess ABC's AND, Lasker would add T for TARGET, Nimzovich would add P for PROPHYLAXIS, Kotov would add A for ATTACK, Tal would see L as LAUNCHING, Vukovic would add C for COMMITMENT, Hans Berliner would add a 2nd C for CONTROL, Fischer would add a 2nd S for SACRIFICE, Smyslov & Motwani would add an H for HARMONY, and Botvinnik would add a 2nd M for MOBILITY. |

This thread is the bomb! Alright so now to the issue of nuclear weapons. Physicists: German, Jews, Kiwis, Yanks, Aussies, were well abreast of the concept of nuclear fission by '39. (Atomic fission had been achieved at the Cavendish labs, in England, by Rutherford, a Kiwi, and his team, in '32!) At the outbreak of WWII the British and the Germans began the nuclear race. It is not well known but an Australian physicist, Mark Oliphant (and a fellow South-Australian like Tipsy!), who had already overseen the development of radar, became the overseer of Britain's nuclear weapons research department. However, undermanned and under-staffed, Oliphant quickly realised they were pushing the proverbial uphill. Oliphant took all the research and discoveries the British team had made to the Yanks, making repeated visits to the US in '40 and '41 to kick the Yanks up the bum re the nuclear race however they dragged their heels until Pearl Harbour. Suddenly the Manhattan Project was born. It still took the silly bloody Americans another 4 years to come up with a reliable nuclear weapon. By the by, Oliphant received a knighthood for his efforts, on radar, nuclear weapons and other works in defence of the motherland. So: The work on the A-bomb was originally begun by the Allies as a response to the German threat, but it had nothing to do with dead Jews and everything to do with the perceived threat from the German scientists. The atrocities of the holocaust were not know until the war in the west was all but won. Now: As mentioned by ace, the bombs were dropped on the Japanese as a lesser of two evils. The Japanese were a proud and stubborn race which had embraced the samurai tradition in a wave of nationalistic sentiment just as surely as the Germans had embraced the idea of a return to a Holy Roman Empire. (During medieval times, the Germans installed themselves as a restoration of the fallen Western Holy Roman Empire, this was the 2nd Reich, which is why Hitler termed his regime the 3rd Reich). An assault on Japan, an island filled with dug in artillery, anti-aircraft, machine gun emplacements and a population with a "death-before-dishonour" attitude would have been a long and bloody campaign that could have dragged into a decade. It is a measure of how stubborn the Emperor was, that it took TWO A-bombs to force a surrender! The Yanks dropped one, sat back and waited for a surrender. None was forthcoming so they took the opportunity to try a different ignition device and dropped a second. Perhaps the Emperor thought that such a devastating weapon was surely a one-off and that there was no way the Allies could possess more than one nuclear weapon. Perhaps the Emperor was just a ****! Who knows? And thus this story ends. Key points: No country ever entered into war against the Axis because of the persecution or slaughter of Jews. The holocaust was only discovered towards the end of WWII. There was no gaggle of Jewish refugees on the Manhattan Project. It was a collection of mostly US-born physicists (some of which were Jewish) who had been working in the field of nuclear fission for a while but needed a kick up the bum from an Aussie. The Bomb on Hiroshima was dropped as a lesser of two evils. The second one dropped on Nagasaki was because the Emperor was a ****. Sir Winston Churchill and Sir Mark Oliphant were great! Tipsy has drunk too much and should have been in bed hours ago. END PS: On the subject of implosion: it's rarely good. Imploding force on unstable nuclei = nuclear weapon. Stars implode when they go supernovae and also when they form black holes. The Germans used imploding charges (shaped charges) to destroy French gun emplacements in WWII. I don't think we should use implode in the new name of this forum. What about: 1. Club for Chess Openings and Other Stuff 2. Club for Chess Openings (why change?) 3. Tipy's Terrific Type Fest! 4. All Hail Tipsy! 5. Tipsy's Place. 6. TipsyJ. ('nough said!) |

must differ, tipsy In 1939 Einstein -- a refugee from Germany then at Princeton -- wrote a letter to U.S. President Roosevelt encouraging work to harness the energy of the atom. In 1942 the U.S. government then persuaded a number of Jewish nuclear physicists in America (including those who were refugees from Germany) to work together to create a weapon that would harness the energy of the atom so as to end the war with Germany, win the race against Germany -- and Japan -- to build an atomic weapon, and to help free the inmates of the Nazi concentration camps, most of whom were Jewish. This is public knowledge. For me, this was supplemented privately by the physicist who taught me physics as a boy, who learned it from his own research professor: Hans Bethe, who was chief of the theoretical division at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project, which built America's first atom bombs.

Tipsy, you are mistaken ! en.wikipedia.org If you read my first message, I suggested that the name of the club should be changed to " The Club for Chess Excellence " and I did not suggest to use new name including implode such as " Big Implosive Chess Club" I am using the familiar implosion in association as a tool to remember it easily. My main focus of attention in this thread is on chess and not on politics, humanity, racism and bad things about war but some how chess imitates our struggles in real life situation. Jews are very talented people and not only in science but you can see in any humanities, literature, philosophy, art, musics, etc. World chess champions Kasparov and Bobby Fischer are both jews. Kasparov is proud of being a jew but Bobby Fisher denounced jews. There are good jews and bad jews. Karl Marx is a German jew and his idea about communism is wrong because it did not work out in former Soviet Union and China. They have to switch back into capitalism. Did jews kill Jesus? I won't waste my time into this debate just like I won't waste my time to say somthing bad against prophet which can provoke unnecessary hatred and animosity although I believe in freedom of expression. Oppenheimer, father of nuclear bomb, who was the head of Manhatten project for making atomic bomb was a jew. Oppenheimer was born in New York City on April 22, 1904, to Julius Oppenheimer, a wealthy Jewish textile importer who had immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1888, and Ella Friedman, a painter. Einstein was not directly involved in inventing of the atomic bomb although he might have some knowledge of it. Although Oppenheimer was instrumental in making the atomic bomb he changed his mind later and became a pacifist similar to Andrei Sacharov, father of atomic bomb of the former Soviet Union. There are jewish traitors also. The disciple of Jesus, Judas is a jewish traitor. Ethel and Julius Rosenbergs jewish couple were top scientists in Manhatten atomic bomb projects. They were communists and communist sympathizers and they gave the secret on how to make the atomic bomb to Soviet Union. The two traitors were executed by firing squad. For details of Oppenheimer and Rosenbergs please go to the above links at the top of this message. |
