daved@cbnewsl.att.com (david.dougherty) (07/31/90)
The following shell archive contains macros for typesetting chess.
These macros were written by Piet Tutelaers in the Netherlands. His
address appears below.
The archive contains
1. chess.sty the actual typesetting macros,
2. tal.ltx an excerpt from Bobby Fischer's "60 of my
Most Memorable Games,"
3. tal.ltx.diff a context diff of tal.ltx and tal.tex. That
is, 'patch < tal.ltx.diff' yields tal.tex,
for those who do not have LaTeX.
4. 2side.tex a set of Plain TeX macros to typeset in two-
column mode (ala LaTeX).
The fonts that go with these macros (also done by Piet) can be found
on ymir.claremont.edu in the local:[anonymous.mf.chess] directory.

X\begin{chess} % this activates the | character
X{\sl A very near miss\smallskip
X
XThis is one of the four games that Fisher lost to Tal who, in winning
Xthis tournament, earned the right to meet and trounce Botvinnik for the
Xworld championship.
X
XIn jest the whimsical Tal signed Fisher's name, in addition to his own,
Xwhen asked for an autograph. ``Why not?'' he quipped; ``I've beaten
XBobby so often |:| that gives me the right to sign for him!''
X
XA carefull reading of Fisher's notes will reveal a clear echo of the
Xstrong emotions that engulfed him during this tense encounter. He misses
Xa win in the opening and several draws along the way, demonstrating
Xdramatically how a continuously advantageous position can abruptly be
Xturned into defeat by seemingly insignificant miscalculations.}

XI had no better luck against Blackstone, in an exhibition game at Davis,
XCalifornia, 1964, with |7. 0-0, Be7; 8. Bb3, Qc7; 9. f4, b5; 10. f5, b4;
X11. f*e6!? (11. Nce2, e5; 12. Ng3, Bb7| is bad for White), |b*c3; 12. e*f7+,
XKf8; 13. Bg5, Ng4!| and Black should win.
X
X\ply b7b5!
X
XThis reaction must be prompt!
X
XIn our first lap game here Tal played the weaker |7.: Be7?; 8. f4, 0-0|
X(for |8.: b5| see the note to Black's 8th move); |9. Qf3, Qc7 and now
X10. f5! (instead of 10. 0-0?, b5; 11. f5, b4!; 12. Na4, e5; 13. Ne2,
XBb7| and Black stands better), |e5 (not 10.: Nc6; 11. Be3 with a bind);
X11. N4e2, b5; 12. a3, Bb7; 13. g4| with a strong attack.
X
X\move f2f4!? b5b4!
XIndirectly undermining White's center.
X
X\move c3a4 f6e4
X\move e1g1 g7g6?
XCorrect is |10.: Bb7|.
X
X\ply f4f5!
XThis riposte caught Tal completely unaware. Black's king trapped in the
Xcenter, will soon be subject to mayhem.
X
X\ply g6f5
XNot |11.: e*f5; 12. Bd5, Ra7; 13. N*f5!, g*f5; 14. Qd4|.
X
X\ply d4f5!
XPanov, with typical iron curtain ``objectivity'', commented in the
XSoviet tournament bulletins: ``Almost all game Fischer played in Tal
Xstyle. But all his trouble was in vain because Tal did not defend in
XFischer style---instead he found the one and only saving
Xcounterchance!''
X
X$$\showboard$$
X
X\ply h8g8
XWoozy, Tal stumbles into a dubious defense. Better is |12.: d5 (not 12.:
Xe*f5?; 13. Qd5, Ra7; 14. Qd4 spearing a rook); Nh6, B*h6; 14. B*h6|.
X
X\ply b3d5!

X``|13.: e*d5; 14. Q*d5, B*f5; 15. R*f5, Ra7; 16. Qe4+; Re7; 17. Q*b4,
XRe2; 18. Bg5!, R*g5; 19. R*g5, Q*g5; 20. Q*b8+ wins|'' ({\sc PANOV}).
X
X\ply d5e4?
XCorrect is |14. Be3!, Nc5; 15. Qh5!, Rg6 (if 15.: N*a4, 16. B*a7, e*d5;
XRae1+); 16. Rae1!| and White's every piece is bearing down on Black's
Xking ({\sc KEVITZ}).
X
X\ply e6f5
X\ply e4f5
XProbably it's better to avoid exchanges with |15. Bd5 or Bf3|.
X
X\ply a7e7!
XA unique way of shielding the K-file.
X
X\move f5c8 d8c8
X\ply c1f4?
XThe right move is simply |17. c3! (not 17. Q*d6?, R*g2+; 18. K*g2, Re2+;
X19. Kf3, B*d6; 20. K*e2, Q*c2+ wins), and if : Qc6; 18. Rf2|.
X
X\ply c8c6!
X\move d1f3 c6a4
XSuch a surprise that I didn't dare believe my eyes! I had expected |18.:
XQ*f3; 19. R*f3, Re2; 20. Rf2, R*f2; 21. K*f2| and White has a slight
Xedge after a3 because of Black's disconnected pawns.
X
X\move f4d6 a4c6!
XTal finds a inspired defense.
X
X\move d6b8 c6b6+
XWhite remains a clear pawn ahead after |20.: D*f3; 21. R*f3, Bg7; 22. c3|.
X
X\move g1h1 b6b8
XThe crowd was shouting and whistling with each move. Later I was
Xinformed that many sport fans were in the audience. Maybe some soccer
Xmatch had been canceled. As a consequence chess was the main attraction
Xthat day in Belgrade.
X
X\ply f3c6+
XMany annotators believed that |22. Rae1| was the winning move. Tal
Xhimself confessed he thougt Black was lost after that. But |22.: Kd8!|
Xholds in all lines (not |22.: Rg6?; 23. Q*f7+, Kd7; 24. Rd1+!, Rd6; 25.
XR*d6+, K*d6; 26. Rf6+!| wins). I've studied this position for ages, it
Xseems, and the best I can find is |23. Rd1+, Kc7! (23.: Kc8?; Qc6+
Xwins); 24. Qf4+ (if 24. Rd4, Qb7!), Kb7; 25. Rd6, Qc7; 26. Q*b4+, Kc8;
X27. R*a6, Qb7!; 28, Q*b7+, K*b7; 29. Raf6, Rg7|=.
X
X\ply e7d7
X\ply a1e1+
XBlack holds after |23. Rad1, Bd6; 24. R*f7 (if 24. Rf6, Rg6; 25. R1*d6?,
XQ*d6!), Qc7,| etc. And on |23. R*f7, Qd6|.
X
X\ply f8e7
XFinally Tal ``develops'' his bishop. Not |23.: Kd8; 24. R*f7!, Be7; 25.
XR7*e7, R*e7; 26. Rd1+| wins.
X
X\move f1f7 e8f7
X\move c6e6+ f7f8!
XI thought he had to go to g7, whereupon |26. Q*d7| wins easily.

X
X\ply e6d7
XNot |26. Rf1+. Kg7; 27. Rf7+, Kh8; and if 28. Q*d7, Rd8; 29. Qg4, Qe5|
Xwins.
X
X\ply b8d6
X\move d7b7 g8g6
XWithin a handfull of moves the game has changed its complexion. Now
Xit is White who must fight for a draw!
X
X\ply c2c3!
XBlack's extra piece means less with each pawn that's exchanged.
X
X\ply a6a5
XOn |28.: b*c3; 29. Qb8+, Qd1; 30. Q*a6|=.
X
X\ply b7c8+
XOn the wrong track. Right is |29. c*b4!, Q*b4 (if 29.: a*b4; 30. a3!,
Xb*a3; 31. b*a3, Q*a3 draws); 30. Qf3+, Kg7; 31. Qe2| draws, since Black
Xcan't possibly build up a winning K-side attack and his own king is to
Xexposed.
X
X\ply f8g7
X\move c8c4 e7d8
X\move c3b4 a5b4
XOn |31.: Q*b4; 32. Qe2| White should draw with best play.
X
X\ply g2g3?
XCreating loosing chances. I don't see how Black can make any progress
Xafter |32. Qe4|. If |32.: Bc7; 33. Qe7+, Kg8; 34. Qe8+, Qf8; 35. Qe4|,
Xetc.
X
X\ply d6c6+
X\move e1e4 c6c4
X\move e4c4 g6b6!
XI overlooked this. Now Black has winning chances. I had planned on a
Xdraw after |34.: Be7?; 35. a3!| dissolving Black's b--pawn (|35.: b3 is
Xanswerred by 36. Rc7 followed by Rb7|).
X
X\move h1g2 g7f6
X\move g2f3 f6e5
X\ply f3e3
X|37. a3| is met as always, by b3. Once White can eliminate Black's
Xb--pawn it's a theoretical draw.
X
X\ply d8g5+
X\move e3e2 e5d5
X\move e2d3 g5f6
XWhite might be able to draw this ending, but it's an ugly defensive chore.
X
X\ply c4c2?
XToo passive. I wanted to avoid immobilizing my Q--pawns with |40. b3|
Xbut it's the best hope now. On |40.: Be7; 41. Rd4+| preserves drawing
Xchances.
X
X$$\showboard$$
X
X\ply f6e5
X\move c2e2 b6f6
X\move e2c2 f6f3+
X\move d3e2 f3f7
X\move e2d3 e5d4!
XLittle by little Tal inches his way in.
X
X\ply a2a3
XOn |45. b3, Rf3+; 46. Ke2, Rf2+; 47. Qd3, R*c2; 48. Ke4| wins.
X
X\ply b4b3
X\ply c2c8
XEqually hopeless is |46. Re2 (or 46. Rd2, Rf3+; 47. Ke2, Rf2+), Rf3+;
X47. Kd2, B*b2| etc.
X
X\ply d4b2
