Troitzky line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Troitzky (or Troitsky) line is a key motif in chess endgame theory in the rare and practically unimportant (but theoretically interesting) ending of two knights versus a pawn. Part 2: the second Troitzky line solved the winning line taking into account the 50-move rule, and more winning techniques and drawing zones. This is due to the fact that a common technique in this endgame is that of reducing the defending king to a position that would be a stalemate except for an available pawn move, and allowing the pawn to move can allow the attacking knights to move in for the kill. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Troitzky_line   (458 words)

Alexey Troitsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Alexey Alexeyevich Troitsky, or Troitzky (Russian: Алексе́й Алексе́евич Тро́ицкий) (March 14, 1866–August 1942) is considered to have been one of the greatest composers of chess endgame studies. He died of starvation during World War II at the siege of Leningrad, where his notes were destroyed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/A._A._Troitzky   (106 words)

The study D14 is largely different from the works composed by Troitzky and Pivovar: it is more complex and more interesting; (there is a subtle play: the composer uses above all the pie ces (and not }{\fs22\lang1033\langfe1071\langnp1033 o}{\fs22\lang2057\langfe1071\langnp2057 nly the pawns, like Troitzky and Pivovar) with masterly skill.

Chessville - The Mad Aussie's Chess Trivia - Chess History in Small Bytes! Troitzky died of starvation during the siege of Leningrad during World War Two, and his papers and analysis were not recovered. Troitzky's analysis showed that some of these endgames could not be won in less than 50 moves. He discovered the winning procedure, which is to block the pawn with one knight, use the other knight and the king to corner the opponent's king, and then using the blocking knight to deliver checkmate. www.chessville.com /misc/History/Mad_Aussie_Trivia_Archive_17.htm   (1879 words)

Games and Puzzles Journal #29 This is the Troitzky Board, derived from the standard board by removing the four corner cells and inserting two cells in the middle of each edge. Geometrically this means that a line can be drawn through (x, y) to meet the x and y axes at points whose coordinates are rational numbers (0, j/k) and (j/h, 0), except when h or k are 0 in which case the line is parallel to the x or y axis. The angle between the lines from the centre to the middle of the cells numbered 12 and 1 is arctan 3/5 which is about 30.96 degrees. www.gpj.connectfree.co.uk /gpjk.htm   (2763 words)

Saint Petersburg State Electrotechnical University The radio line was constructed to help a battleship “The General-Admiral Apraksin”, which ran aground because of a navigation error. The first wireless message received by the radio line allowed to save the lives of 27 fishermen who had been carried away on a block of ice in the sea-way. For the first time the device was used when a 48 kilometre long radio line, linking the island Kutsalo (town Kotka) and the island Gogland in the Finnish gulf was installed. www.eltech.ru /english/general/popov_museum.html   (1700 words)

PRACTICAL CHESS ENDINGS + COMPUTER ANALYSIS Troitzky was interested in problems as well as endgame studies so it is not surprising that problem themes often occured in his endgame compositions. The King being in the corner will be opened to mating attacks but Black hopes his two passed pawns will be more than difficult to cope with.

PRACTICAL CHESS ENDING + COMPUTER ANALYSIS Troitzky's improvement, the King at g7, overcame this small blemish. The Platov brothers were probably the first composers to present it in a study-like setting but Troitzky was also experimenting with the Theme. Shortly after it was published Troitzky suggested the White King should be placed at g7. members.aol.com /brigosling/psitn054.htm   (664 words)

Studies The modern artistic study dates roughly from the 1890s, when outstanding composers such as Troitzky and Rinck became active. Note that in the main line of the solution Black's moves are those containing most artistic merit and not necessarily those which allow Black to hold out for the longest time. In common with other forms of composition no superfluous force is used, and the composer usually tries to present his idea in as natural a setting as possible. www.bcps.knightsfield.co.uk /studies.html   (1109 words)

Home - Globe Handyphone The code is sometimes used to refer to a particular material balance when talking about endgame theory; for example, the endgame of two knights against pawn (as famously analysed by A.A. Troitzky, leading to his discovery of the Troitzky line), is class 0002.01. A mobile phone, also known as a cell phone, smart phone, mobile, or hand phone, is an electronic telecommunications device with the same basic capability as a conventional fixed line telephone, but which is also entirely portable and is not required to be connected with a wire to the telephone network.

Checkmate It is sometimes possible to force checkmate with two knights against a pawn (see Troitzky line). In a discovered check, a piece moves out of the line of attack by another piece so that this other piece (which can be a queen, rook, or bishop) is then checking the opponent's king. Blocking a check is done by moving a piece (from the checked king's army) to a square in line in between the checking piece and the checked king. cba9da8a99c19b953f228d27ac22401b.yo.ogarnij.pl /en/checkmate   (8108 words)

infofx.info - Yuri Averbach In October 1991, as Russia was on the verge of independence, Yeltsin announced that Russia would proceed with radical market-oriented reform along the lines of Poland's "big bang," also known as "shock therapy." After the disintegration of the USSR, the economy of Russia went through a crisis. These points are: the boundary with Poland on a 60-km-long (40-mi-long) spit of land separating the Gulf of Gdańsk from the Vistula Lagoon; and the farthest southeast of the Kurile Islands, a few miles off Hokkaido Island, Japan. Division into different religions takes place primarily along ethnic lines: majority of Russians are Orthodox, majority of people of Turkic descent are Muslim, Judaism is very uncommon among non-Jews. yuri.averbach.en.infofx.info   (9654 words)

Home - Penultima (game) The pawn on g7 and the Imitator (Chameleon) on h6 are unaffected because the Withdrawer did not move in their respective lines, but the Withdrawer could have captured either by a move in the sixth rank or g-file respectively. Along the same line of thinking, a Pusher could push an enemy Withdrawer away, but if it should have done that, the Withdrawer will be retreating from the place the Pusher was, and that is enough to cause it to be captured! A long-leaper may make multiple captures in the same line as long as each piece is jumped independently. penultima.game.en.infoax.org   (12964 words)

Masterworks of Retro Analysis But then the d-pawn and the f-pawn were captured on their own line, so neither of them reached the b- or g-line. The white rook from a1 got captured on the a-line by the black b-pawn. So the d-pawn didn't capture, which means that the two black pawns on the d-line come from the c- and e-pawn. www.janko.at /Retros/Masterworks/Solutions.htm   (7042 words)

In 1928 Troitzky was awarded the title of Honoured Art Worker, as the Soviet government for the first time officially recognised chess composition as an art form.

Loman's move, Jan Timman, and the double Prokes. In 1909, Troitzky published a repaired version which later proved to have even greater defects, and he finally left it out of his collected studies. It is quite likely Loman found his move over the board, but this particular square-vacating anti-promotion sacrifice had already been shown by the great Troitzky in 1899. Much better known is the antidote to Loman's move of diagram 8 - among miniatures, it is a classic. www.xs4all.nl /~timkr/chess/proktxt.htm   (2870 words)
