Welcome back, fellow chess players, to this edition of the Marshall Chess Club’s fortnightly bulletin, The Marshall Spectator.
This weekend, the 21st Annual KCF All Girls National Chess Championship took place in Chicago, Illinois, and featured many of the best up and coming female players of this generation. We’re proud to report that the Marshall was well represented, with many of our most active members participating in this high-stakes event across all sections. We would like to congratulate the winners: The Under 8 National Champions were the team from Success Academy Union Square, led by top scorers Chloe Chan and Ava Jethanamest. The individual champions in the section were Siddhishree Sundaram and Dhriti Singh, who both scored a perfect 6 out of 6 to earn the title of Co-National Champions. In the Under 10 section, the team from Speyer Legacy School took first place in the nation, with top scorer Athena Tsui scoring an impressive 5 out of 6 points. The top performing individual in the section was Gillian Gao, who scored a perfect 6 out of 6 to earn the title of National Champion. The Under 12 section was won by the team from Success Academy Midtown West, led by top scorer Alexandra Liu who scored 5.5 out of 6 to tie with Kate Stripunsky for the title of Co-National Champion. The Under 14 section was won by Gordon Gregory Middle School, led by top scorer Amy Zhan who scored 4.5 out of 6. The section was won by WCM Alice Chovanec and Anqing Wang who scored 5.5 out of 6 to earn the title of Co-National Champions.

The top individual in the section was Khanim Ismayilova, who scored a near perfect 5.5 out of 6 to earn the title of National Champion. The team from Columbia Grammar Preparatory School won the Under 18 section, led by top scorer FM Megan Paragua who scored 5.5 out of 6 to tie with Jasmine Su for the title of Co-National Champion. A list of all results can be found here, and photos of the event and more details can be found here.
Last night, we were thrilled to welcome Jennifer Shahade back to the Marshall Chess Club for a lecture and book signing for her newest book Thinking Sideways. She was joined by NM Anthony Levin as moderator and the conversation they had was erudite and entertaining in equal measure. If you missed the event, you will soon be able to watch it in its entirety here.
Looking ahead, Marshall Chess Club member Nkosi Nkululeko is releasing his new poetry collection, Corresponding Squares. He will be in conversation with NM Jerald Times about his work, followed by an interactive workshop where participants will create their own “square poem.”
Date: Tuesday, April 28 - Time: 6:30 PM

Recent Games Analyzed
The April edition of the Marshall Premier was won convincingly by IM (GM-elect), Josiah Stearman. Josiah has all his GM norms, and needs to cross 2500 FIDE to become a GM. This tournament win (4-0 score with a half-point bye) should help Josiah with his quest to becoming GM.
You can play through the games with annotations here.
Round 1: Stearman, Josiah - Gabriel A Pinales
1. Nf3 d5 2. g3 Nf6 (2... Nd7 Is an interesting system in case Black wants to go for a quick e5.) (2... Nc6 Is also interesting.)
3. Bg2 Bf5 4. O-O Nbd7 (4... e6 Is more common at this point.)
5. d3 e5 6. Nbd2 Bc5 Black is slightly mixing systems, although his position still remains playable.
7. c3 (7. c4!? c6 8. cxd5 cxd5 9. d4! exd4 10. Nb3 Might have been a slightly more accurate way to exploit black’s slight awkward piece coordination.)
7... Bb6 (7... O-O) 8. Qc2 h6 9. e4 dxe4 10. dxe4 Bh7 (10... Be6 Is also possible since Ng5 is stopped.)
11. b4 O-O (11... a5)
12. Nh4 c5? An instructive positional mistake which Josiah exploits. (12... a5 Black needed to try to open up the a-file.)
13. b5!
A very important strategical move. Without this move, white is actually the one slightly worse, but the move b5 is very logical because it shuts down 3 of Black’s pieces, the bishop on b6, knight on d7, and rook on a8 with one move. From this point on, the game becomes a smooth sailing for White.
13... Qc7 (13... c4!? Might’ve been relatively best here to sacrifice a pawn in order to activate his pieces at this point. 14. Nxc4 Qc7)
14. Nc4 Rfd8?! Inaccuracy. a6 was best. (14... a6 Was the last chance for black to at least, open up a file for his rook to at least, get some counterplay.)
15. a4 a5?! Inaccuracy. Qc8 was best.
16. Nf5?! Inaccuracy. Qe2 was best. (16. f4!? Might’ve been even more powerful.)
16... Re8?! Inaccuracy. Ba7 was best. (16... Ba7 To try to dislodge the knight on c4 was black’s last chance.)
17. Be3 Ng4 18. Rad1 Bxf5?! Inaccuracy. Rad8 was best.
19. exf5 Nxe3 20. fxe3! Accurate until the end. (20. Nxe3?! { Looks tempting but allows a little bit of counterplay with c4, opening up black’s bishop. 20... c4)
20... Re7?! Inaccuracy. Rad8 was best.
21. Rd6 f6 22. Rfd1 Ba7 23. b6! A minor tactic to finish off the game. White will eventually win the piece thanks to a trade on b6 followed by a check on b3. This game showed the power of piece activity, especially in a opposite colored bishop position. The difference between black’s a7 bishop and white’s g2 bishop is obvious. A very nice positional game by Josiah, showing good understanding at the importance of restricting opponent’s pieces. 1-0
Round 2: Austin Zhao - IM Stearman, Josiah
In this game, Josiah took a bit of a risk in the opening against his lower-rated opponent and got a worse position out of the opening, but then, white made an instructive mistake, going for concrete attacking ideas, but allowing black’s restricted pieces to get into the game.
1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. Be3 c6 5. Be2 Nbd7 6. f4 Bg7 7. e5 Nd5 8. Nxd5 cxd5 9. Nf3 O-O 10. h4 10... Qb6
11. e6?? Blunder. Qc1 was best. An instructive mistake. While this move looks tempting to go for the attack, the big drawback of this move is that it helps black’s restricted pieces (knight on d7 and bishop on g7) to activate. With pawn moves, it is very important to always consider both the pluses and minuses. (11. Qc1! Would retain a solid advantage, since white protects everything (defends against Qxb2 and dxe5 followed by Nxe5), and now, with h5 to follow, this would be a very unpleasant position for black to play.)
11... Nf6 12. exf7+ Kxf7 13. Ng5+ Ke8?! Inaccuracy. Kg8 was best.
14. h5?! Inaccuracy. O-O was best. Tempting but concretely doesn’t work. (14. O-O Would be the lesser of the evil. White is still close to equal.)
14... h6 15. Bd3?! Inaccuracy. Nh3 was best.
15... hxg5 16. Bxg6+ Kd8 White’s attack doesn’t work anymore since the black king is able to hide on the queenside, the safe haven.
17. fxg5?! Inaccuracy. f5 was best.
17... Ng4 18. Bg1?! Inaccuracy. Rh3 was best.
18... Qb4+ 19. Ke2 Ne5! 20. c3?? Checkmate is now unavoidable. Rh4 was best. (20. dxe5 Bg4+)
20… Qxb2+ 21. Qc2 Bg4+ 22. Kd2 Nc4+ 23. Kd3 Qxa1 A good counter-attacking game for Josiah at the end. It would be interesting though, how the game would go, had white played Qc1 in the opening instead of e6. 0-1
Round 3: Stearman, Josiah - Nkululeko, Nkosi
In this game against NM Nkosi, Josiah was able to get a large advantage out of the opening and win a good game.
1. c4 Nf6 2. g3 e6 3. Bg2 d5 4. Nf3 c6 5. b3 Bd6 6. Bb2 Nbd7 7. d4 dxc4 Slightly unusual 8. bxc4 c5 9. d5 (9. O-O Might’ve been a bit more accurate.)
9... exd5 10. cxd5 b5 11. O-O O-O 12. Re1 Re8 13. Nbd2 Ne4?! Inaccuracy. a6 was best. (13... Rb8 Would be more logical to continue queenside play given that he has a pawn majority on the queenside. 14. e4 Ng4)
14. Nxe4 Rxe4 15. Qd3 Re8 16. e4 (16. Qxb5?? Rb8 17. Qc6 Rb6 Was a cunning trap ) 16... f6?!
Inaccuracy. c4 was best. Now, however, the b5 pawn is hanging, since after Rb8, white has the e2 retreat square. Possibly, black blundered this nuance and didn’t recalculate Qxb5.
17. Qxb5! Rb8 18. Qe2 From here, White wins convincingly.
18… Rb4 19. Qc2 Ba6 20. Bc3 Rb7 21. Rab1 Nb6 22. Bh3 Rbe7 23. Nh4 Bc8 24. Bxc8 Qxc8 25. Nf5 Rd7 26. Ba5 g6 27. Ne3 Qa6 28. Bc3?! Inaccuracy. Bxb6 was best.
28... Kg7?? Blunder. Qa4 was best.
29. Ng4 Rf7 30. Nxf6 Rxf6 31. e5 1-0 White wins. 1-0
Round 5: Saez Coma, Alejandro - Stearman, Josiah
After taking a half-point bye, Josiah is black in the last round against NM Alejandro Saez Coma, and this game was definitely the most tense of all the games Josiah played this tournament. After 3 fairly convincing wins in the first 3 rounds, in this game, the result was in doubt until the end.
1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. Bf4 Bg7 4. Nc3 d5 5. Qd2 h5!? This move is designed to prevent Bh6. At first, the engine doesn’t like it, but then, at a higher depth, it appreciates its value a bit more. 6. O-O-O 6... c6 (6... Ne4!?) 7. Ne5 Nbd7 8. f3 Nxe5 9. Bxe5 b5 10. Kb1 a5 11. e4!? principled approach. (11. e3)
11... dxe4 12. fxe4 b4 13. Na4 Nxe4 14. Qf4?! Inaccuracy. Qe1 was best. (14. Qe1 Was more accurate to prevent Bxe5.
14... Nf6 (14... Bxe5?? 15. dxe5))
14... Bxe5 15. Qxe5 Nf6 16. Bc4 O-O 17. h3 Ba6 (17... Qd6!?)
18. Bb3 Bb5 19. g4 Qd6 20. Qg5 Kg7 Now, Black has control, but the swings in this game don’t end here.
21. gxh5 Nxh5 22. Rhg1 Nf4 23. Rg4?! Inaccuracy. Rge1 was best.
23…. Nd5 24. Re1?! Inaccuracy. Nc5 was best.
24... Bxa4 25. Bxa4 Here, black is technically winning, but now, black’s technique becomes sloppy by allowing a lot of counterplay chances.
25... Nb6? Mistake. Rh8 was best. (25... Rh8 This was much simpler, keeping the knight on d5 as a strong defensive piece.)
26. Bb3 a4? Mistake. Qf6 was best.
Underestimating white’s counterplay. (26... Qf6)
27. Re6!! White sacrifices the rook! Suddenly, it’s anyone’s game.
27… axb3 28. Rxd6 bxa2+ 29. Ka1 exd6 30. Rg1 Rfe8 31. Rf1 (31. h4!) 31… Nd5 32. Qd2? Mistake. h4 was best. Passive. Now, black is better. (32. h4!)
32... Re4 33. Qd3 Re3 34. Qc4 Rc8 35. Kxa2 Rxh3?? Blunder. f5 was best. (35... f5)
36. Kb1? Mistake. Rxf7+ was best. (36. Rxf7+! Kxf7 37. Qf1+!)
36…Re3 37. Qa6 Ree8 38. Rh1 Rc7 39. Kc1 Rcc8 40. Kb1 Rc7 41. Kc1 Rb8?! Inaccuracy. f5 was best.
42. Kd2 Nf6 43. Qe2 Rb5?! Inaccuracy. Rcc8 was best.
44. Qe3 Nh5 45. Qe8 Rd5 46. c3?! Inaccuracy. Rh4 was best.
46... bxc3+ 47. bxc3 c5 48. Qa8 Rf5 49. Qd8 Rc6 50. Rb1?! Inaccuracy. Qe8 was best.
50… cxd4 51. cxd4? Mistake. Rb8 was best. Black was able to outplay White again, and now, has a winning position, but here, more adventures start.
51... d5?? Blunder. Rf2+ was best. (51... Rf2+! 52. Ke3 Rh2 Is totally winning. This is close to a mating attacking for black.)
52. Rb8 Kh6 53. Rb5? Mistake. Qe7 was best.
53… Nf6 54. Rb3 Ne4+ 55. Ke3? Mistake. Ke2 was best.
55… Rh5?? Blunder. Kg7 was best. An unexpected blunder when the job is almost done. (55... Rc1 Would probably be the easiest way for black to win. White’s checks run out rather quickly.)
56. Qh8+ Suddenly, white can force a draw with a perpetual check.
56… Kg5 57. Qe5+ Kg4 58. Qf4+ Kh3 59. Qf1+ Kg4 60. Qf4+ Kh3 61. Ke2+ White might be playing for a win now, as a win would allow him to tie for first. If white wanted to force a draw here, it seems it was inevitable.
61… Rc3 62. Rb1?? Blunder. Rxc3+ was best. A strange mistake, perhaps, panic in time pressure. (62. Rxc3+ Nxc3+ 63. Kd3 Ne4 64. Qxf7)
62... Kg2?? Blunder. Ng3+ was best. Black returns the favor. (62... Ng3+)
63. Qg4+?? Blunder. Rb2 was best. (63. Rb2 Was the last chance for White to reach an equal position.)
63... Rg3 From here, black finally wins without adventures.
64. Qf4? Checkmate is now unavoidable. Qxg3+ was best.
64… Nc3+ 65. Ke1 Rh1+ 66. Kd2 Nxb1+ 67. Ke2 Nc3+ 68. Kd2 Ne4+ 69. Ke2 Nc3+ 70. Kd2 Rf1 71. Qh4 Ne4+ 72. Ke2 Rf2+ 73. Kd1 f5 74. Qh6 g5 75. Qh5 Ra3
After 3 very smooth wins in the first 3 rounds, Josiah ended up on the better side of an up and down game in the last round, and won clear first with 4.5/5. Even though this game was quite a nervous game, kudos to Josiah for winning the game nonetheless. Hopefully, riding on the momentum from this tournament win, Josiah will get the coveted 2500 FIDE sooner rather than later and becomes a GM. 0-1

Kibera Knights Update
The Kibera Knights have been busy this month. The chess program, launched by Marshall Chess Club member Ken Kaplan and supported by Marshall Chess Club Board Member and Education Committee Chair NM Vladimir Bugayev, sent 36 players to the Kenyan National Cadet Championship held in Nairobi. Remarkably, 36 of those players qualified for the African Youth Chess Championships in Uganda in May, while top performer, Caleb Anthony, scored an impressive 7.5 out of 8 and qualified for the playoffs and a chance at a National Title!
Chess Kenya organized the annual Kenya National Youth & Cadets Chess Championship this past weekend, with many top players from around the country competing in the nation’s capital, Nairobi.
Three Kibera Knights qualified and competed in the event: Caleb Anthony, Tillen Otieno, and Lavnder Syombua. They performed admirably against strong competition.
The event was intense, with every move hard fought. As their coach, Wilson, remarked, “Our players are not just leaving as champions—they’re walking away with sharpened skills and a wealth of new tactics."
