Home Page Chess Life Online 2010 January Chess in the Wild
|Chess in the Wild
|By Tom Braunlich
|March 16, 2010
One of the pleasures of chess can be where you play it.
Have you ever played in a chess tournament held in a truly exotic place? I don't mean a nice hotel with interesting tourist facilities nearby. And I don't mean a special exhibition at a museum or in Central Park. I mean an actual tournament where the playing venue itself is extraordinary or extreme.
One classic example of a remarkable tournament location is the nearly forgotten series of big tournaments held at the Paul Masson Winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California in the late 1970s. For several years they played a master-level tournament out in the vineyards on top of a hill, sitting at picnic tables battling the sun and sipping wine between rounds. Guests included Boris Spassky and Dr. Max Euwe, who gave exhibitions under tents. What other sport can be played in a vineyard?
Perhaps readers can comment with other examples, but a new one I'd like to add to the short list of amazing chess venues is last weekend's Phillips 66 Chess Classic — held at Woolaroc, a sprawling 3,700 acre wildlife preserve established in the early 1920s by Frank Phillips (founder of Phillips Petroleum in 1917) in the rugged Osage Hills of northeastern Oklahoma.
The playing hall was adjacent to his original rustic eight-bedroom 'hunting lodge,' and surrounded by herds of dusty buffalo, stately elk, gangly ostriches, longhorn sheep, proud llamas, Watusi bulls, and many other exotic animals in the preserve. In the playing room itself, dozens of stuffed owls and game birds watched like silent kibitzers over the tournament games from their perches in the rafters. A giant elk spectated from the fireplace mantle.
Organizer Steve Wharry decided to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this annual event, and arranged it at this marvelous setting for his own enjoyment, as something he hoped would be unique and memorable. Each meal was catered. The playing hall had an expansive picture window view of the large pond and rocky countryside where the players could go hiking on sandstone trails between rounds with their families. Or they could wander through the massive museum at Woolaroc and see Phillips' extensive collection of western art, authentic cowboy memorabilia, American Indian artifacts, and petroleum paraphernalia from this area that was once the site of one of the richest oilfields in the world.
Best of all was the adjacent lodge that, in its heyday (1925-1950), was visited by many celebrities, politicians, entertainers, and businessmen, from General MacArthur to Will Rogers. It and the ranch are now on the national register of historic places. Its walls are almost literally covered with 204 stuffed heads of remarkable animals Phillips brought to the animal park from all over the world, including zebras, rhinoceroses (rhinoceri?), and a long necked giraffe. (There was no actual hunting of these imported animals; they all died of natural causes in the preserve.) High stakes poker games were a common evening entertainment, and once Blackstone the Magician asked Frank to throw the deck against the wall and magically made the Queen of Spades adhere there. Supposedly the card remains there even today.
The bombastic businessman also used his lodge to impress eastern bankers and to strengthen his relationship with the local Osage Indian chiefs on whose reservation many of his oil wells were sited. The lodge was also the site in 1926 of a rowdy and historic reunion of all the remaining old sheriffs, bandits, outlaws, and oil wildcatters — perhaps the last hurrah of the Old West.
The tournament itself was as rugged as the rustic setting. Tied for first were Devin Hughes and me, scoring 3½ / 4, winning $525 each. Devin is a talented young expert-ranked high school player. Class prizes were: Bran Whitcomb (A, $600), Ryan West (B, $450), Jeff Williams (C, $300), Jacob Smith and Frank Smentkowski (D, $150 each).
Steve Wharry, a veteran tournament director and player in Oklahoma, generously returned all the entry fees in prizes for the event, and paid for the location and catering costs out of his own pocket. "I did it as a labor of love, to hold one chess event that will be truly remembered around here," he said. The remote location, 15 miles from the nearest hotel, made logistics difficult for some players, and the turnout was lighter than Steve had hoped for. So it is unclear if he will continue the event next year. But those of us who were lucky enough to be there will never forget it, and will try hard to cajole him into repeating chess again at wild and wooly Woolaroc.

MitoEAGLE Short-Term Scientific Mission
- Motivation letter
- My name is András Mészáros and I am working as associate professor in the Institute of Surgical Research at the University of Szeged, Hungary. I got my M.D. degree in 2012 and I was working as PhD fellow in the same institute for three years subsequently before taking the current position. My main research interest is to understand mitochondrial dysfunction during oxido-reductive stress conditions (hypoxia, ischemia-reperfusion) in animal models and cultured cells. My further aim is to characterize acting mechanism of novel biologically active gaseous compounds in mitochondria. I have been working with High Resolution Respirometry and basic fluorometry for three years, gaining experience maínly with tissue homogenate and isolated mitochondría. An essential step now is to extend my expertise toward assessment of other functions than oxygen consumption.
- The main objective of the planned STSM training is to get acquainted with and to standardize fluorometric measurements of isolated mitochondria and cultured cells. During the 8 days of short-term visit at the MitoFit Laboratory three new techniques could be learned:(l) measurement of reactive oxygen species production of permeabilized cells using H2O2-sensitive fluorescent probes; (2) determination of mitochondrial membrane potential and (3) assessment of mitochondrial phosphate/oxygen ratio by measuring ATP levels fluorometrically. Preparation and execution of each method will be learned with emphasis on internal quality control and possible adaptation of measurement protocols to samples from various tissues. Furthermore, we are going to use tools of complex data analysis and calibration.
- Fulfillment of the proposed research plan during the STSM training would contribute significantly to the objectives of the MitoEAGLE Working Group 1 (standardization of protocols in respirometry).I wish to actively participate in the MitoEAGLE project, in, among others, establishing and testing reference protocols to provide basis for comparison of results obtained in various laboratories. To this end, a short stay at the MitoFit Laboratory of Oroboros Instruments could provide a perfect platform having up-to-date instrumental background, well established measurement protocols and top level proficiency.

Gov. Pat Quinn today vetoed a major gambling expansion plan that would have allowed five new casinos, including one in Chicago.
The move sets the stage for a potential showdown with lawmakers following the Nov. 6 election, when supporters of the bill have vowed to try to override a veto.
For months, Quinn has warned about what he views as shortcomings in the bill, saying the measure would not provide enough oversight of casino operators and other gambling interests. The Democratic governor also has said that any gambling expansion should set aside a proper amount of money for education.
In his veto message, Quinn said the state must not allow ethical shortcomings that allow "loopholes for mobsters."
The governor told lawmakers it is "critically important that any expansion of gaming in Illinois be undertaken thoughtfully and carefully."
"We have one opportunity to get it right," Quinn wrote, arguing the legislation "continues to fall well short of the standards of he people of Illinois."
"The most glaring deficiency ... is the absence of strict ethical standards and comprehensive regulatory oversight. Illinois should never settle for a gaming bill that includes loopholes for mobsters."
"Notably, this legislation lacks a ban on campaign money from gaming licensees and casino managers. We must prevent campaign contributions by gaming operators from infecting our political process."
Mayor Rahm Emanuel issued a statement saying it's time to stop the flow of jobs and money to northwest Indiana casinos.
"I spoke with the governor this morning, and we agreed it cannot take another 20 years of discussion to draft and pass a bill that will be signed into law. I will continue to work relentlessly with all parties to pass a bill that will allow a Chicago casino to be built and implemented responsibly."
The deadline to act on the proposal was today, or it would have become law automatically.
The bill lawmakers approved this spring calls for new casinos in Chicago, southern Cook County, Lake County, Rockford and Danville. It also would allow slot machines at horse racing tracks, which was a deal-breaker for the governor when lawmakers approved a similar measure last year. That bill never made it to Quinn's desk after he threatened to veto it.
Sponsors say they are prepared to fight this time around and have spent the summer trying to gather the votes needed to override Quinn's veto. It would take a three-fifths vote in the House and Senate. That won't be easy, even during the lame-duck session following the election when lawmakers who won't return to office are more likely to cast controversial votes.
Powerful House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, has predicted an override won't be successful, but supporters say that's just one opinion.

Farmers Markets: Irvine's Saturday farmers market is O.C.'s sweet spot
The Irvine Saturday farmers market is the largest and best in Orange County, but it's a mixed bag. It has some worthy local small farmers who come in person, along with more commercial farms, and even a few who have been sanctioned previously for cheating by agricultural authorities or other managers.
Orange County Produce, owned by the family of the previous California agriculture secretary, A.G. Kawamura, farms on remnants of undeveloped local land, a bittersweet reminder of the county's past agricultural glory. The stand offers gorgeous, pristine yellow chard, reasonably sweet Ventana and Camarosa strawberries in supermarket-style clamshells and Hass avocados, just approaching prime season, in a convenient range of maturities, from hard green to ripe black.
Cold weather the past week has delayed the San Joaquin Delta asparagus harvest, but small quantities of the vernal delicacy should be available by next weekend, says Roscoe Zuckerman, the preeminent supplier at local markets. In addition to Irvine, he sells at Corona del Mar, Long Beach Southeast, Hollywood, Studio City, Encino, Pasadena and Santa Monica on Wednesdays and Sundays.
It looks like summer at the stand of Viva Andres of Orosi and Dinuba, who offers an outstanding array of greenhouse-grown vegetables, including tender purple and green Filipino eggplant, super-fresh long beans, okra and bitter melons.
Miguel Olivares grows about 280 acres of sweet potatoes in northern Merced County, the state's leading district for that crop. His vendor at the Irvine market carries six varieties, including Okinawan, with tan skin and dryish purple flesh; Dianne, with rose skin and moist orange flesh; and O'Henry, with white skin and smooth, aromatic golden flesh.
Bud Johnson of Cheesewright Creamery, who just started selling in the noncertified section, grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin before moving to California to work as a failure analyst in the semiconductor industry. Last year he retired from his day job and started making cow-milk cheese at the Drake goat dairy plant in Ontario, Calif. Currently he offers cheese curds, very fresh, mild nuggets from an early stage in the cheese-making process; soon he'll also have aged cheddar and fromage blanc. He also sells at the Laguna Hills, Orange County Fairgrounds and Tustin markets.
Irvine farmers market, Campus Drive at Bridge Road, Saturdays 8 a.m. to noon.
The mystery of 'lemon plums'
For several years, yellow, pointed plums imported from Chile in February, marketed as "lemon plums," have excited curiosity and confusion. Because they somewhat resemble lemons in color and shape, some have even supposed that they're some novel hybrid of citrus and plum.
Of course, such a cross of species from distant botanical families is no more possible than an antelope-aardvark. So what is this lemon plum? It looks a little bit like Kelsey, the first Asian plum variety brought to California, in 1870, or its seedling, Wickson, one of the leading plums grown here a century ago; both, like the mysterious lemon plum, range from green to yellow to red, depending on ripeness, are elongated at the apex and tend to have gum pockets — hollow, crusty cavities next to the seed. It even more closely resembles Dolly, a 1987 variety from the renowned breeder Floyd Zaiger, in turning red at the tip even when the rest of the fruit is yellow.
As it turns out, however, the lemon plum is a variety from Ben-Dor Fruits and Nurseries, an innovative Israeli breeder. It is called "Lamoon," which is Arabic for "lemon." In addition to the original, Ben-Dor offers seven similar varieties in the Lamoon series, ripening from June to September in the Northern Hemisphere.
According to Fernando Balart, a marketing manager for the Chilean Fruit Exporters Assn., five to eight Chilean growers cultivate the lemon plum on a total of about 200 to 250 acres. The harvest in Chile is early January to early February, and it takes about two weeks to get from the farm to the United States distribution system. Its combination of high sugar and moderate acidity appeals particularly to Asian American buyers, he added.
The flavor of samples bought at supermarkets over the past two weeks ranged from marginally edible, for the first green specimens just out of the box, to fairly juicy and sweet, with a mild but pleasant flavor, for deep yellow fruits at full ripeness. Denizens of Moose Lake, Minn., may well be grateful that such imports brighten their winter, so they don't have to subsist solely on rutabagas; here in Southern California, where fresh local citrus, cherimoyas and strawberries are abundant, antipodean lemon plums may be less appealing, but are still a good choice for those who crave plums in February.
Will the Lamoon plums be grown in California some day, so we can taste what they're like when picked fully mature? Reedley-based Family Tree Farms has the exclusive rights to Ben-Dor's varieties in California, and is evaluating the Lamoons to see if they are worth growing here, says Eric Wuhl, the farm's director of research and development.
There is a Chilean fruit, a pink seedless muscat grape, that is worth a special trip to the supermarket, since it's very sweet and rich in flavor, and nothing quite like it is grown in the United States. These grapes range in color from light green to deeply blushed with pink (the ripest and best), with a softer, more succulent texture than the firm seedless muscats that have been planted in California over the past decade. They're a few weeks later than usual this year but will be available at Whole Foods stores from mid-March to mid-April.
