McShane – Gustafsson: Test yourself!

Die tägliche Schach-Onlinezeitung “Chess Today” hat den 30. Geburtstag von Luke McShane gewürdigt. Dabei präsentieren die Großmeister Alex Baburin und Michail Golubew auch stets zwei, drei nette Kombinationen der Jubilare. In diesem Fall kam ein sehenswertes Damenopfer mit Matt des Briten beim Kuppenheimer 12-Stunden-Blitz zu Ehren. Hier der gelungene Abschluss anno 2003 gegen den Hamburger Großmeister Jan Gustafsson.

Dear Chess Today reader,
Please find our latest issue attached. The CBV file is a Chess Base archive and should be opened with Chess Base or Chess Base Light. The latter is available for free at http://www.chessbase.com. The PGN file should also work with Chess Base and other chess software. Sometimes Yahoo fails to deliver messages. Now it does not keep attachments in the message archive. If you missed some issue(s), please send e-mail to ababurin@iol.ie, stating clearly what issues you’d like to get forwarded to you. If the problem persists, please talk to your mail provider – perhaps it blocks CT! If know that you will not access your e-mail for a while, you can suspend CT from coming to your mail box – visit your user profile at the CT list (again, you may need your Yahoo ID) and set the delivery options to ‘no mail’. Don’t forget to change it back later! If you plan to change the e-mail address to which you receive CT, please change it at the Yahoo list yourself. You need to log into http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ChessToday/ with your old e-mail address. Then click on ‘My Profile’ and ‘Change E-mail Address’. Put your new address there. This should only take 1-2 minutes! If for any reason you can’t do that, contact us and we will unsubscribe you with the old address and then try to subscribe you with your new address. When you change the address to which you receive Chess Today, always drop a message to ababurin@iol.ie about the change. Otherwise your e-mail might be deleted from the CT list by mistake! We appreciate your help in promoting CT – please forward CT issues to your chess friends, take printed versions to your chess club and to the tournaments where you play. Word of mouth is the best advertisement! Please also mention CT (www.chesstoday.net) on ICC and other chess servers. When somebody mentions your name while subscribing, you will get an extra month added to your CT subscription for free. And if you get 1000 references, we will let you use the CT yacht in the Caribbean! 🙂
Enjoy the paper!
Alex Baburin
