16December 2014

Many notable chess players have hadtournaments dedicated to their memory, butI would suggest that few such competitionshave been so well fitted to their dedicatee asthe Andrew Whiteley Memorial BlitzTournament, held on 8thNovember at the Kings Headpub, Moscow Road, Bayswater. Andrew Whiteley (1947-2014) died last July (an obituaryby David Anderton and DavidSedgwick appeared in ourSeptember issue), and he wasamongst the best loved figures inBritish chess of the past fewdecades. Andrew was one ofBritain’s top players in the erabefore the Fischer boom,representing his country in threeOlympiads and finishing as highas second in the BritishChampionship. But he remainedat heart an enthusiast and achess lover who was in hiselement in club chess, as a player,organiser and arbiter, particularlyon behalf of the Kings Head club in London.Andrew was the living embodiment of HansRee’s celebrated bon mot, that “chess is beautifulenough to waste your life for”. The tournament concept was perfect.Only one venue would do: the Kings Headpub. And the refreshments – generouslysponsored by David Norwood – had to bealcoholic. In his introductory comments Davidabjured us (a) not to take the tournament tooseriously and (b) to remember that (youngerreaders, please avert your gaze and skip tothe next sentence) the point of the exercisewas to drink as much as possible (or words tothat effect). Not that Andrew was analcoholic, I hasten to add, but he did enjoy apint of beer or two when puffing on his pipe,sat in his favourite seat in the pub. Of course,the one thing that would have made itperfect would have been for all theparticipants to smoke pipes during play, butthe laws of the land, let alone the laws ofchess, no longer allow such a possibility. No fewer than eighty players lined up topay homage to the great man. The formatwas five-minute chess, with no increments;eight ten-player all-play-all sections, withthe first placed player going forward to a

knock-out phase, with single-game quarter-finals and two-game semi-finals and final. It must have been one of the strongestfive-minute tournaments to be played in theUK, with each section averaging around the

200 grade mark. Nine grandmasters played:Matthew Sadler, David Howell, Jon Speelman,John Nunn, Simon Williams, Chris Ward, PeterWells, Aaron Summerscale and sponsor DavidNorwood. There were ten IMs, including ourvery own Malcolm Pein, and Bill Hartston,making his first playing appearance in (he thinks)about 20 years (my database thinks longer,possibly before Magnus Carlsen was born).

Bill Hartston – sort of famous

I tentatively suggested to Bill that he mightnow be slightly more famous for appearing onthe popular TV show Gogglebox (overseasreaders will have to google it) than for his twoBritish Championship titles, his 1970s TVappearances as a chess pundit/presenter, or hissubsequent career as a newspaper columnist.He agreed with me and confessed he now getsrecognised more often in the street than whenhe was co-presenter of The Master Game. Hetold me of one lady who buttonholed him:“You’re him off the telly.” Bill admitted that hewas. Still eyeing him suspiciously, she retorted:“So you’re sort of famous, then” (with heavyemphasis on the ‘sort of’). So to the play, which was fast and furious,

but expertly organised by Nevil Chan, MattRead and their team of helpers. As the dustsettled at the end of the preliminaries, ittranspired that three of the ratings favouriteshad been eliminated. Simon Williams was one:

he dropped only the one point,but his conqueror, 2341-ratedJochen Snuverink, also scored8/9 and went through by virtueof their head-to-head result.David Norwood was anothercasualty, losing two games andfinishing half a point behind FMJonathan Rogers. Finally, PeterWells dropped 2½ points, andthat let in the Icelandic playerPall Thorarinsson.

Meanwhile, John Nunn hadshaken off the dust of a longlayoff (apart from his recentWorld Senior Championshipperformance) to qualify with7½/9, despite a loss to Aussie IMJohn-Paul Wallace. Bill Hartstonwas rather more rusty, scoringonly 4/9. The heaviest scorers

were also the highest rated: David Howellconceded just the one draw in his section,while Matthew Sadler scored an ominous 9/9. Onwards to the quarter-finals: John Nunnneeded a second game to dispatch JochemSnuverink. Speelman and Sadler progressedat the expense of Thorarinsson and Rogersrespectively, but there was a shock as DavidHowell crashed out against Tom Rendle. Ihappened to be watching as this game wasdecided: David, playing Black, advanced arook along the g-file, leaving an undefendedrook on a8 along the h1-a8 diagonal whichwas duly snaffled. David accepted thecatastrophe with good grace. With four players left, the spectators hadswelled to a vast number and I had reason torue what is perhaps my biggest disadvantageas a chess photo-journalist – the fact that Iam short of stature. (I do so envy the likes ofPeter Doggers in this respect.) ConsequentlyI was unable to witness what happened inSadler versus Rendle. However, I managed afew glimpses of Speelman versus Nunn,though without being able to note down anymoves or positions. It was a very tense, hard-fought affair but the slightly younger man(Speelman) prevailed 2-0.

The Final

It was a fitting finale: Matthew Sadler, topseed (we were using ECF grades – he is 280)versus a long-time member of the Kings Headclub, and a fellow super-GM Jon Speelman.Matthew arrived at this stage after scoring12/12 in the space of the afternoon so far.Playing white in the first game, he advancedhis score to 13/13, having built up pressureagainst Jon’s Caro-Kann and then flashing outa Íxf7+ tactic to finish the game. The second game of the final was muchtougher and ended in a furious flurry ofmoves, with Matthew’s flag falling and Jononly having two seconds left on his ownclock. I doubt that anybody, even a super-GM, could hope to reconstruct the moves ofsuch a frantic game. So to an Armageddon finish. Jon, as White,had five minutes on his clock, while Matthewhad four, but with the considerablecompensation of draw odds. In the event hedidn’t need the half-point concession,winning the game and the £500 first prize. I am very grateful to Matthew Sadler fortaking the trouble to reconstruct two of hisgames for readers’ benefit and without whichthis article would be bereft of chess. He wasthe outstanding player of the day, and at theclose of play he initiated a richly-deservedround of applause for the organisers andsponsor. And, of course, for the man we wereall there to celebrate – readers, I give you, theone, the only, Andrew Whiteley.

23...Ëd6? A serious mistake. I suspect a lot of uswould have played 23...Îe8 here, but then24 Ëf4 is still quite good, setting up a queeninvasion on c7. Instead, 23...g6! is the precisemove, answering 24 Ëf4 with 24...Îc8 andrestricting White to a minimal edge.24Ìf5 Ëe6 24...Ëc7 25 Îe1 is also very hard tomeet.

Geeks are not generally thought of as heroes, either in real life or inmovies. But The Imitation Game, with Benedict Cumberbatch playingthe part of the mathematician Alan Turing, might change all that. In 1936, at the age of just 24, Turing published a paper, OnComputable Numbers, that introduced the algorithm - the concept atthe heart of all computer programs. The Imitation Game concentrateson how, during World War Two, Turing directed his remarkable mind tocracking the Nazis’ apparently unbreakable military codes at the secretBletchley Park centre. What is less well-known is that he wasaccompanied in this task by Britain’s top chess-players of the time,notably Hugh Alexander, his boss at Bletchley and later head ofcrypto-analysis at GCHQ. Turing was not a good chess player, but he regarded it as an idealtest for what became known as “artificial intelligence”. To that end, hedeveloped the first chess program, which he called‘Turobchamp’. It took Turing half an hour to execute theinstructions for each move and it was hopelessly weak -but the system worked.

“Alan Turing developedTurbochamp - the first

chess program”That was back in 1952... and 45 years

later, the human world chess champion,Gary Kasparov - to his evidentastonishment - was defeated in a six-gamematch by Turbochamp’s-distantdescendant, Deep Blue. I recentlyencountered the Canadian who designedthe algorithms for that IBM program, DrMurray Campbell, when he was one of myinterviewees for the second series of Acrossthe Board, in which the talk takes place overa chess game. Another of my opponentswas Demis Hassabis,· a London-born chessprodigy who went into the world ofcomputer programming and who last yearsold his artificial intelligence companyDeepMind to Google for £400million.

I complained to both these brilliant menthat in some ways chess - the game Goethedescribed as “the touchstone of theintellect” - had been ruined by the triumphof the algorithm. Now, when I see a gameplayed by Grandmasters, I don’t rack mybrains trying to work out why they played ina certain way: I input the-moves into my

chess computer program, which instantly spews out all the variations.No effort, no mystery - and little thought on my part. It’s rather likeschoolchildren using pocket calculators for what we used to call longdivision. It saves time and effort, but at what cost in genuineunderstanding and mental agility?

Naturally, both Campbell and Hassabis disagreed with me, the latterpointing out forcefully that the combination of the problem-solvingabilities of carbon-based life forms and silicon could provide solutions tohumanity’s greatest challenges - for example, in the field of disease. Isuppose the truth is that just as the greatest chess players will useprograms as an aid to their own creative processes, rather than as asubstitute, so there has been no obvious decline in the intellectualabilities of the best of our youth - those who are not so lazy that theybecome slaves to the computer, rather than its master.

And for those who do have chess-mad children, computersoftware provides something never available when I wasyoung: a constantly switched-on opponent, available toplay at any time of the day or night and which (suitablyprogrammed) will explain why the moves you playedwere inferior and what you should have done instead. Itis no wonder children are now attaining levels of abilityat ages that would have seemed unimaginably youngwhen Alan Turing designed the first chess program.

So if your son or daughter seems obsessed withchess, don’t worry - there are vital

applications for the skills they areacquiring, and which may benefit (oreven save), the nation. But there isno complete substitute for human-to-human education: so interestedparents should contact the Chessin Schools and Communitiescharity, which operates in anincreasing number of stateschools. Geeks can go far. Theycan even become heroes.
