Smyslov's magical pawn sac to feature in CEWN chess newsletter

Chess blog for latest chess news and chess trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2012

Hi everyone,

We have an interesting update about the 4th edition of the Chess Evolution Weekly Newsletter (CEWN). A rare game of chess legend Vasily Smyslov will be featured in the issue. A large part of the edition will be dedicated to the World Chess Champion from 1957 to 1958 and Candidate for the World Chess Championship on eight occasions (1948, 1950, 1953, 1956, 1959, 1965, 1983, and 1985).
 

The game of the 7th World Champion shows his complete understanding of all tactical elements of chess. With a nice pawn sacrifice Smyslov takes the initiative, leaves the opponent’s king in the center and launches a devastating attack against it.

Arkadij Naiditsch about CEWN

The author of CEWN comments, “To make it especially nice for our readers, we decided to start with 6 different languages, we think to read in the mother language is an extra for every chess fan.In our weekly newsletter we will try to be creative and not only present a “dry” chess material, but also go a further. A reader will be able to find 4 most interesting games from the past week, a rare seen game from a World Champion combined with a nice puzzle section plus endgame lectures and not at least a surprise section that will change every week. It all makes CEWN an exciting product for chess lovers of any strength!”
