	Julian Hodgson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Julian Michael Hodgson (born July 25, 1963) is an English International Grandmaster and former British Champion of chess.
		Hodgson went on to become a fearsome competitor nationally, bagging the title of British Champion on no fewer than four occasions (1991, 1992, 1999, and 2000).
		Julian ("Jules") Hodgson's greatest legacy as a chess player may however lie in his resurrection of an almost forgotten opening system.

		Hodgson went on to become a fearsome competitor nationally, bagging the title of British Champion on no fewer than four occasions (1991,1992,1999 and 2000).
		Trains and boats and planes are all part of a day in the life of globe-trotting Grandmaster Julian Hodgson, as is his constant surveillance of the chessboard in search of some lethal tactical strike.
		Julian took on 39 players from all over South Wales and emerged at the end of the evening with a score of +34,-3,=2.

		An in-depth examination of Hodgson's analysis necessitated the use of a treatise on the Trompovsky.
		Hodgson stops here, giving Black a slight advantage, while Gerstner continues with Rodriguez-Hort (8 Bxb8) and also offers Franco- Casas (8 Nh3), both of which are evaluated as leading to solid Black "pluses".
		Hodgson now suggests 7 g6, as in Hodgson-Zlocheski, Bad Worishofen 1993, which continued 7..fxg6 8 e3 Na6 9 a3 g5, when 10 Ngf3 g4 11 Rb1 Qxa3 12 Ne5 should have been tried and "White has fantastic compensation for the sacrificed material" (p.

		Julian Hodgson tried his trusty Trompowsky against Ivanov in an all-out attempt to win the game, reach 7 points, and share in the loot with the other high scorers.
		Hodgson had a 2-1 pawn edge on the kingside, but Ivanov had 3 connected passed pawns on the queenside.

		Hodgson is an avid traveller, and much of what she has discovered makes it into her work.
		Julian Beaufort, a young Briton on a 1914 graduation tour of the Middle East, falls in love with an old house in Damascus, once part of a large complex, and succeeds in buying it from the family which has occupied it for 210 years.
		Hodgson, who is also an artist, has filled the novel with old newspaper photographs and stories, snapshots of Damascus, family portraits, Arabic writing, pressed flowers, transparencies, maps, close-ups of architectural detail, sketches, and even Julian's to-do lists.

	Attack!
		Since that time, Julian has become a very strong grandmaster and, though he's now older, he still throws his pieces at enemy Kings with the abandon of an 18 year old on a pure testosterone diet.
		Hodgson's book is a collection forty highly entertaining attacking games (eight of them are his own) placed in eight chapters called (in order):
		Hodgson's innocent enthusiasm for bookmaking and chess are infectious, but certain amateurish ideas would best be left out of future projects.

		THE "grandmaster of disaster", Julian Hodgson, fresh from his first place at the Las Vegas Open, lived up to his reputation at the weekend, taking the Turnkey Open first prize of #500 at the 9th East Kilbride Congress.
		Playing against fellow GM, Bogdan Lalic in the last round, Hodgson was fortuitous to receive the full-point after Lalic, who had been in a difficult position, committed the chess equivalent of hara-kiri.
		Hodgson was expecting the stunning drawing retort of 23 Nxh5 gxh5 24 e5 Bg4 25 exf6 Bxd1 26 Rxd1 e6 27 Kb2 a4 28 Ba2 Rc5 29 Rd4 Rf5 30 c4.

		As incredible as it may seem, Hodgson claims that when he was twelve years old, Russian GM David Bronstein blundered a rook against him exactly the same way, during a simultaneous exhibition (page 77).
		Hodgson writes that he is "still secretly hoping to play this in one of [his] games!" (page 107).
		In the opinion of this writer, Hodgson's format of presenting tactical themes in the context of an actual game rather than providing stand-alone positions as found in numerous other books, greatly facilitates the student in recognizing situations which may contain a trap.

		Interweaving poetic prose and evocative colour illustration, Hodgson tells the story of an Englishman, Julian, who is transfixed by the beautiful house he has inherited.
		All the while, a strangely protective and tender being hovers in the shadows, confounding Julian’s attempts to hold onto both his home and his grip on reality.

		Hodgson does not overwhelm the reader with long-winded variations or deep opening analysis.
		What he does, and does well, is break down positions into their basic elements so that the fundamentals of attack in progress may be better understood.
		Hodgson states in the Introduction: "My basic motto has always been that chess above all should be FUN...I have tried to explain the beauty of these games with the written word as much as possible..

		Since it also deals with the same theme, it would have been convenient to include British GM Julian Hodgson's latest effort "Attack" with them, but alas, it was not available to us at the time.
		First, it is notable that it appears that Hodgson has become involved both in the authoring and publication of this book.
		Uh, well, thanks, Julian, but you do present a few games that go 15 or 20 moves at the outset sans pictures, and that may just be a bit too much for mere mortals.

	Guardian \| Miriam Hodgson
		Miriam Hodgson, who has died of ovarian cancer aged 66, was one of the most successful children's books editors of the last 20 years, and one of the best loved.
		She believed strongly in the role and value of an editor, although she was always extremely modest about her own part in developing her authors and their books.
		Latterly, she edited a number of anthologies, including The Teens Book of Love Stories (1988), In Between: Stories of Leaving Childhood (1994) and Mixed Feeling (1997), which gave her authors the chance to write in a different way: short stories cutting to the heart of the pains and difficulties of adolescence.

		Hodgson and Arkell battled right through the year in a tight contest where both won tournaments all over Britain, but Hodgson gained the advantage in August with a strong show in the Smith and Williamson British Championship followed by 100% scores in opens at Thanet and Hereford.
		Hodgson's previous Grand Prix wins were in 1990 and 1999 and he was runner-up last year.
		In the past two years Hodgson has only started his Grand Prix campaign in the summer, but this time the British Champion already has a perfect 76/76 total thanks to his successes at York Vikings, Richmond and the Coulsdon Blitz.

		Yes, there was the FIDE World Cup, and some great chess was played there, but Hodgson's games, from his successful British Championship defence, and disastrous Zonal tournament, just seem to spring out of my ChessBase for their shear originality, and tactical ingenuity!
		Playing for a draw with White can be a difficult affair, and the choice of opening is primordial, but I have often used Botvinnik-type structures myself, with great success, and this is confirmed in the critical encounter TK208.
		Julian Hodgson attempts to attack on both sides of the board at once in TK210.
