No, that's not an echo you hear... Between now and the end of the month the Boylston Chess Club will be featuring two events in its Master Lecture Series.
The Boylston Chess Club Master Lecture Series presents:
Endgame Insights -
An evening with the BCC Champion
A 90-minute lecture by NM Charles Riordan
A 90-minute lecture by NM Charles Riordan
When: Wednesday, August 23rd, 7:00 p.m.
Where: The Boylston Chess Club
Admission: Advance - $3/5 (BCC members/non-members), At the door - $4/6
Charles will present a selection of interesting and instructive endgames from some of his recent high-level encounters. He will let us in on the secrets of his post-mortem analysis and share the conclusions he was able to distill from them.
Charles crashed through the 2300 barrier at this year’s Amateur Team Championships East, where his team won that event and went on to become 2006’s Amateur Team Champions. Charles was undefeated on first board of the team he himself put together. Charles Riordan is, of course, the reigning Boylston Chess Club Champion. Other notable achievements include a tie for first at the 2004 New Hampshire State Championship and second place at the 2004 Massachusetts State Championship. He is also on the Board of Directors of the Boylston Chess Foundation.
Charles has taken some notable scalps. Most recently GM Julio Becerra was defeated by Charles in the endgame. He has defeated GM Sam Palatnik and has drawn once with GM Sergei Kudrin (an endgame swindle), once with GM Aleksander Wojtkiewicz, once with GM Alexander Yermolinsky, and twice with GM Ildar Ibragimov.
Light refreshments will be served.
The Boylston Chess Club Master Lecture Series presents:
A 90-minute lecture by GM Eugene Perelshteyn on his new book
Chess Openings for White, Explained
(Winning with 1.e4)
When: Wednesday, August 30th, 7:00 p.m.
Where: The Boylston Chess Club
Admission: Advance - $3/5 (BCC members/non-members), At the door - $4/6
Drawing from his freshly-published work on the openings for White, GM Eugene Perelshteyn will present an overview of topical openings and their usage, provide some pointers on how to study openings, and give us the inside story of the writing of the book. Copies of his book will be available for purchase and signing.
When Eugene last visited with us in 2005, he was still pursuing his grandmaster dream. I am happy to report that this time we will be receiving a lecture from Grandmaster Eugene Perelshteyn. He achieved his final norm this year at the great tournament at Foxwoods by tying for first with Loek Van Wely and Ilya Smirin.
Perelshteyn won the 2000 U.S. junior title and took clear first in the star-studded 2003 Generation Chess International Chess Tournament in New York City, ahead of veteran GMs Jaan Ehlvest and Larry Christiansen. He defeated Ehlvest again at Foxwoods and clinched a share of first place with a last-round win over Israeli GM Victor Mikhalevski.
Light refreshments will be served.
