Hi, I am Sjakkalle, see the section at the bottom of this page for the explanation of the username. I am from [[Bergen]] but I now live in [[Haugesund]]. I am 29 and work as a scientist at [http://www.polytec.no Polytec]. My educational background is as an applied mathematician. In August 2010. I earned a PhD for my work with the [[lattice Boltzmann methods]] (LBM) applied to problems concerning [[surface tension]] and [[wettability]]. Although LBM is my "real life" area of expertise, I have only made a few edits on that topic, and I have focussed my article writing on other topics I am interested in. I did initiate the [[Lattice gas automaton]] article, which was the predecessor to LBM.

In June 2005 I was [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Sjakkalle|made an administrator]], but I resigned them in November 2006 due to lack of time. I had admin access restored in April 2008, but I don't intend to be all that active with them. But if you need help with something which needs the admin tools, feel free to ask!

On deletion issues and policy, I consider myself a moderate, and a member of "[[:meta:Association of Wikipedians Who Dislike Making Broad Judgments About the Worthiness of a General Category of Article, and Who Are in Favor of the Deletion of Some Particularly Bad Articles, but That Doesn't Mean They Are Deletionists|AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD]]". I favor having guidelines on what kind of topics should be included, but oppose applying those guidelines inflexibly. I am a firm believer that the decisions should be made by the community, and view the role of the closing administrator as a steward more than as a judge. It ''happens'' that a local consensus (aka "vote count") is at direct odds with policy, and those AFDs must be closed accordingly, I feel those situations are rarer than what one may think. When it ''does'' happen the close needs to be explained ''very'' carefully.

Despite the KrF vote, I am not a Christian, or otherwise religiously affiliated.

==Chess==
===A chain to defeat Viswanathan Anand===
I am a somewhat active chess player, and although my [[Elo rating]] is at 1429, low middle-of-the-range for tournament players, I have the vanity to prove that there exists a chain of games in which I have defeated the World Champion [[Viswanathan Anand]].
====Step 1====
All games are given in [[algebraic notation]] and are viewable on the online [http://www.chesslive.de Chessbase] database (the last link, Carlsen-Anand is [http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1536059 here]). It starts back in 2003 when I met a promising player by the name of Øyvind Riisem in the Bergen Summer Grand Prix.

'''White''': ''Sjakkalle''

'''Black''': Øyvind Riisem

'''Event''': Round 4 of the Bergen Summer Grand Prix, group B

'''Opening''': [[King's Indian Defense]]

====Step 2====
Move ahead four years, and Riisem has grown stronger, defeating the strong master player Lars Breivik.

'''White''': Lars Breivik

'''Black''': Øyvind Riisem

'''Event''': Norwegian Open Championship, 2005

'''Opening''': [[Slav Defense]]

'''White resigns'''

====Step 3====
A handfull of Norwegian players can boast about defeating [[Magnus Carlsen]] in his early days, and Breivik is among them. (Carlsen was not a GM when this was played, but it is the top class of the [[Norwegian Chess Championship]]).

'''White''': Magnus Carlsen

====Step 4====
Carlsen has defeated Anand in blitz and rapid chess, Anand has eluded him in rated games until 2009. Carlsen was able to grind out the following win:

'''White''': Magnus Carlsen

'''Black''': Viswanathan Anand

'''Event''': [[Linares chess tournament]], 2009

'''Ne5 75. Kb3 d2 76. Kc2 Nc6 77. Rh4 Kd5, Black resigns'''

And so, Anand is defeated.

Going with rated games, this is the shortest path I have to Anand that I'm aware of (I have found a path one step shorter if we can count rapid games), and I fully realize that beating (or for that matter, ''meeting'') Anand is a next-to-impossible impossible task for a player of my "strength". Yet knowing that players sometimes pull off upsets is a heartening thing to know when you sit down against someone a few rungs above you.

None of the articles I have created on the English version have been featured, but I did create a "good" article on the Norwegian version, [[:no:Sjakkåpning]]. That was really an abbreviated version of the English [[chess openings]] article, and there were a number of other users who put in considerable effort in proofreading.

===Username "Sjakkalle"===
Chess is the inspiration to my username.
One of the (bogus) principles novice players in chess play by is ''"Always give a [[check (board game)|check]] when you can, it may be [[checkmate|mate]]. Anyway it is better to lose and have given a check than to never have checked at all."''

...So I made the username like this

Check everyone

Sjakk alle (in [[Norwegian]])

Chess

A chain to defeat Viswanathan Anand

I am a somewhat active chess player, and although my Elo rating is at 1429, low middle-of-the-range for tournament players, I have the vanity to prove that there exists a chain of games in which I have defeated the World Champion Viswanathan Anand.

Step 1

All games are given in algebraic notation and are viewable on the online Chessbase database (the last link, Carlsen-Anand is here). It starts back in 2003 when I met a promising player by the name of Øyvind Riisem in the Bergen Summer Grand Prix.

White: Sjakkalle

Black: Øyvind Riisem

Event: Round 4 of the Bergen Summer Grand Prix, group B

Opening: King's Indian Defense

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.f3 0-0 6.Nge2 Na6 7.Be3 c5 8.dxc5 Nxc5 9.Nd4 Bd7 10.Qd2 Re8 11.Be2 Rc8 12.g4 Bc6 13.g5 Nfd7 14.b4 Ne6 15.b5 Bxb5 16.Ndxb5 Qa5 17.Rc1 Ne5 18.Nd5 Qa6 19.0-0 b6 20.f4 Nd7 21.f5 Nec5 22.Nbc7 Black resigns

Step 2

Move ahead four years, and Riisem has grown stronger, defeating the strong master player Lars Breivik.

White: Lars Breivik

Black: Øyvind Riisem

Event: Norwegian Open Championship, 2005

Opening: Slav Defense

1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3 c6 4.c4 a6 5.Bd3 Bg4 6.Qb3 Bxf3 7.gxf3 Qc7 8.Nc3 e6 9.Bd2 dxc4 10.Bxc4 c5 11.dxc5 Bxc5 12.Rc1 Nc6 13.Be2 Rd8 14.Ne4 Nxe4 15.fxe4 Bd6 16.h4 Rd7 17.h5 h6 18.a3 0-0 19.Bg4 Rfd8 20.Bc3 Be5 21.f4 Na5 22.Qa4 Bxc3+ 23.Rxc3 Qb6 24.Rh2 Kh7 25.Qc2 Nc4 26.e5+ Kh8 27.Rxc4 Qxe3+ 28.Kf1 Rd4 29.Rf2 Qg3 30.Qc3 Rd3 31.Rc8 Qxg4 32.Qxd3 Rxc8 33.Qf3 Rc1+ 34.Ke2 Qg1 35.Qd3 Qe1+ 36.Kf3 Qh1+ 37.Ke3 Re1+ 38.Kd4 Qd5+ 39.Kc3 Qc5+ 40.Kb3 Re3 White resigns

Step 3

A handfull of Norwegian players can boast about defeating Magnus Carlsen in his early days, and Breivik is among them. (Carlsen was not a GM when this was played, but it is the top class of the Norwegian Chess Championship).

White: Magnus Carlsen

Black: Lars Breivik

Event: Norwegian Chess Championship, 2001

Opening: French Defense, Steinitz Variation

1.e4 Nf6 2.Nc3 d5 3.e5 Nfd7 4.d4 c5 5.f4 cxd4 6.Nb5 Nc6 7.Nf3 e6 8.Nbxd4 Be7 9.Be2 0-0 10.0-0 Nc5 11.Be3 Bd7 12.c3 a5 13.c4 dxc4 14.Bxc4 a4 15.a3 Na5 16.Be2 Nab3 17.Rb1 Qc7 18.Nxb3 Nxb3 19.Bd3 Rfd8 20.Qe2 Bc6 21.Rbd1 Rd7 22.Qf2 Rad8 23.Bb6 Qxb6 24.Qxb6 Bc5+ 25.Qxc5 Nxc5 26.Be2 Rxd1 27.Rxd1 Rxd1+ 28.Bxd1 Nd3 29.b3 axb3 30.Bxb3 Bxf3 31.gxf3 Nxf4 32.Bc4 Ng6 33.Kf2 Nxe5 34.Bb5 Kf8 35.a4 b6 36.Ke3 Ke7 37.Ke4 Kd6 38.f4 f5+ White resigns

Step 4

Carlsen has defeated Anand in blitz and rapid chess, Anand has eluded him in rated games until 2009. Carlsen was able to grind out the following win:

White: Magnus Carlsen

Black: Viswanathan Anand

Event: Linares chess tournament, 2009

And so, Anand is defeated.

Going with rated games, this is the shortest path I have to Anand that I'm aware of (I have found a path one step shorter if we can count rapid games), and I fully realize that beating (or for that matter, meeting) Anand is a next-to-impossible impossible task for a player of my "strength". Yet knowing that players sometimes pull off upsets is a heartening thing to know when you sit down against someone a few rungs above you.

Articles Created

Among the articles I have created on this subject are

None of the articles I have created on the English version have been featured, but I did create a "good" article on the Norwegian version, no:Sjakkåpning. That was really an abbreviated version of the English chess openings article, and there were a number of other users who put in considerable effort in proofreading.

Username "Sjakkalle"

Chess is the inspiration to my username. One of the (bogus) principles novice players in chess play by is "Always give a check when you can, it may be mate. Anyway it is better to lose and have given a check than to never have checked at all."

...So I made the username like this

Check everyone

Sjakk alle (in Norwegian)

Sjakkalle
