Chess against cancer: A chess tournament against the childhood cancer

Every year, in December, my friend Borja Sanmartín and the ASPANOA Association (an association created against childhood cancer) organize a very famous tournament of chess against cancer to collect money to help in this fight. It's a tradition and a very good reason.

The tournament is really strong and many international and grandmasters play it. Although the most important part is to collaborate with this tournament to help the children that they need this help.

It will be played on Sunday, December 2, 2018, in the morning session starting at 10:00h. It will be in the club “El Olivar”, Zaragoza, Spain. The games will be for 5 minutes. The fee is 10€ for births before 12/31/2005 and 5€ for births from 01/01/2005 inclusive (U-12).

The email to play the tournament or get more information is:
[email protected]

All proceeds from the tournament will be donated to ASPANOA, the Association of Parents of Children with Cancer of Aragon. It serves families of children and adolescents with cancer. It aims to achieve the best state of health at all levels, making possible its full integration.

Many thanks, Borja Sanmartin and ASPANOA Association to do things like this one! It's awesome!

Chess against cancer: The “Zero board”

Maybe you can't play it but I'm sure you want to help. Don't worry! Because it exists the “Zero board”. Even if you don't play you can help us in the tournament by registering as a zero board, that is, you contribute but you don't play and in addition, you will appear on the chess-results website! If you want to sign up through Zero Board, you must do it from http://www.aspanoa.org/

(If you've got problems with the Spanish or you've got doubts, contact me and I will help you to register you as a Zero board).

The tournament grows every year and is becoming very famous! Many GMs and IMs from different countries are collaborating registering as a zero board. Some of them are the GM Pia Cramling (Sweden), the GM Juan Manuel Bellon Lopez (Sweden), the FM Stephen Boyd (France), the WGM Aleksandra Dimitrijevic (Serbia), the WFM Anna Cramling Bellon, the WFM Margit Brokko and many other players.

If you can participate (playing it or registering like a “zero board”) it would be perfect. But if you can't, please share the tournament with your friends and other chess players, because you would be helping also! 

(The website of www.albertochueca.com is available to help you with the process or the doubts you could have).

Please, I want to help also!

In chess, each piece has a specific and limited move, and cannot move beyond its restrictions. The knight`s move is unique in the sense that it is the only move that allows it to jump over other chess pieces.

While most chess pieces only move in a straight or diagonal line, the knight can jump directly to a square that is two squares forward and one square to the left or right (or vice versa), or to a square that is one square forward or backward and two squares to the left or right (or vice versa).

This jumping movement allows the knight to bypass other pieces on the board, which allows it to move to areas of the board that might be blocked by other pieces.

Therefore, the knight move is a very important strategic move in chess, and can be used to surprise opponents and create advantage in the game #Chess #HorseMovement #ChessStrategy."

Chess is one of the oldest games in the world and is believed to have originated in northern India around the 6th century. The earliest written records of chess date back to the 7th century, although the original form of the game was quite different from what we know today.

During the Middle Ages, chess spread throughout the Islamic world and became a popular game in Europe through Spain. By the 15th century, the game had evolved into a form closer to what we know today, with the emergence of modern pieces and the creation of new rules.

Since then, chess has been considered an intellectual game and a mental sport, and has been played by people of all ages and cultures all over the world. Chess is a game that requires skills such as strategy, long-term planning and concentration, so it is considered by many as a valuable tool for mental development.

In short, chess is an ancient and fascinating game that has evolved over the centuries and remains popular around the world today.
