Magnus Carlsen in New York – a big pictorial report
Between August 19th and 30th Magnus Carlsen and his manager Espen Agdestein spent a long week in New York. Carlsen was at the Chess NYC's Summer Camp for some days, where he played and trained with kids of different strength, and later he met with several interesting figures, including Ken Rogoff and George Soros. Here's big pictorial report.
Carlsen and Agdestein arrived in New York City on August 19th. As was agreed almost a year ago, Magnus would spend five days at the Chess NYC Summer Camp to play and train with their kids. Chess NYC is an organization that promotes chess in New York City, running tournaments, offering lessons, and developing merchandise that represents their vision.
As Agdestein told us via Skype, Magnus liked the idea to work with kids. He never did it before in an organized manner. Besides, he enjoys New York a lot and has lots of friends and relations there now.
The event was attended by several hundreds of kids and lots of parents, who were all very excited to meet the world's highest rated player. There were different sessions with Magnus because everyone was divided in seven groups of different level. The session with the youngest children (from about 7 years old) was mostly about inspiration, taking pictures and getting to talk with Magnus, but the stronger groups actually did serious training where Magnus showed some of his games. There were also blitz sessions and simuls.
Carlsen's visit to New York was announced in the August issue of Chess Life...
...and special banners had been created and put up
...which would later form the background for games like this one. Who's the prodigy?
How can you not feel at home here?
Teaching the youngest kids some good opening moves...
...about the center, the long range of the bishops...
...have them play out some positions...
...and demonstrate a thing or two at the demo board
On another day the teacher was wearing a proper shirt
There were also sessions with a laptop...
...during lessons for older and stronger kids
One of the more serious sessions, surely highly instructive
A simul against the Number One
Obviously some blitz had to be played as well!
Naturally kibitzing was allowed
That king position looks scary, even on such a colorful board
Irinia Krush also attened the event and played a few games with Magnus
Ehm... I'm playing Magnus Carlsen... what do I play?
The "fast play" system
Lots of pics were taken...
...and signatures signed
A group photo to end with
There was also an "adults night" for parents and other enthusiasts, which included a simul
After the Chess NY event, Carlsen and Agdestein stayed in New York some more. Among other things, they enjoyed playing basketball in the park.
A bit of physical excercise at the court at 76th Street
We recognize the outfit from the Bazna 2011 tournament, where sponsor Romgaz had made soccer outfits for all the players
On August 26th, Carlsen and Agdestein also had lunch with none other than George Soros at his summer house in The Hamptons on Long Island. Soros (82) is a Hungarian-American business magnate, investor, philosopher and philanthropist and known as "The Man Who Broke the Bank of England" because of his US$1 billion in investment profits during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crisis. Soros also played a significant role in the peaceful transition from communism to capitalism in Hungary (1984–89).
L-R Magnus Carlsen, Espen Agdestein, Richard Conn, George Soros
Soros also has a special interest in chess and during the five hours that were spent, many chess stories were exchanged. Soros explained that he learnt the game in 1944 when Hungary was occupied by the Germans and there was not much to do. He kept a love for the game ever since, and showed to be a decent player himself.
Richard Conn was there as well. Conn is a successful lawyer who used to be campaign manager when Anatoly Karpov ran for FIDE President in 2009-2010. During that period, Conn took half a year off to work for Karpov and Kasparov. He is also a chess enthusiast, and was the one who organized the lunch.
Later in the week Carlsen and Agdestein also attended a Yankees baseball game
One of the last events in New York was a diner at 3 Michelin star restaurant Per se, sponsored by Arctic Securities. There Carlsen and Agdestein met with another big name: Ken Rogoff. Currently a Professor at Harvard, Rogoff is also a chess grandmaster. Early in his career, Rogoff served as an economist at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. He later served as Economic Counsellor and Director, Research Department of the IMF.
At the restaurant, Carlsen and Rogoff played a 5-minute blitz game and in fact the Harvard Professor showed that he hasn't lost his chess skills: he managed to draw the game!
Ken Rogoff vs Magnus Carlsen: 1/2-1/2
We thank Arctic Securities, Espen Agdestein and especially Chess NYC for providing the photos and info. You can find more at the Chess NYC Facebook page.
Working with kids makes him very sympathetic, I like him too, he is not arrogant, no bad habits - just friendly to everyone. Typical norwegian.
I guess many GMs would be willing and able to do something similar - for example, van Wely wanted to give a chess camp in the USA but couldn't, and Anand did something related in Los Angeles. Those who aren't fluent in English can still do it in other countries.
The difference is that they (even Anand) don't get as big a pictorial report based on material provided by the organizers, their sponsor and their manager. Note that I don't criticize Carlsen - or only if this prevented him from playing the Olympiad - it just isn't all that special. No need to fly in Carlsen for "teaching the youngest kids some good opening moves" (1.e4 e5 2.Qh5) - Nakamura could do the same! :)
Agree to a large extent that ' they don't get as big a pictoria reprort....' but Chessbase ran a pretty decent article about Anand visiting Hawaii...infact they ran two parts ( which i am sure you must have noticed).
Susan's polgar blog also keeps a good track of what the top five are doing in between tournaments.
But clearly Magnus is rated one on FIDE, and the big fact that he is from the West...so it makes him special...no way denying that and special is what everyone is looking for.
I was commenting on the comments. What's special about Carlsen? Not necessarily that he spends time with kids - others do or might do the same if they had such an opportunity. Hardly anyone might do it for free (at least not a whole week plus travelling), but many would probably do it for less money than Carlsen.
Is it special that Carlsen is #1? Yes, by definition. Is it special that he is from the West? No, there's also van Wely and many others.
And I was referring to Chessvibes - Chessbase has a long legacy of "big pictorial reports", for example also whenever Tiviakov plays some tournament somewhere and sends them photos. I am not saying that it's "wrong" for Chessvibes to publish such a story in such a way, only that it is unusual if not unprecedented by their standards.
Finally, it's probably unfair to suggest that Carlsen did the whole thing primarily for money and publicity. Probably he really enjoyed it (if not he is a good actor), put it that way: he is in a privileged position earning money from doing things he likes to do.
' Is it special that he is from the West? No, there's also van Wely and many others.'
In my opinion van Wely is a Van Damme equivalent in chess as Magnus is to Brad Pitt. Famous but not Stars.
Agreed that Chessvibes leans towards Magnus in a way, and i would be happy to see them covering the top 5-10 players a bit more that what they do now.
Magnus will continue to rule with the media world ( maybe chess also) for a long time.....
Not shaking hands and taking back moves are bad habits of course. But this is nicely marketed. Loads of pictures helping sweet little kids ( I wonder what their parents had to pay, on chess news i read something like 300 dollar ) but no pics of the hordes of paying suits. Meanwhile Norway is losing 0-4 at the Olympiad. Nothing symphatetic about this.
Kudos to Carlsen!
Look at this page BTW:
Pretty cool being photographed like this, playing against #1. And Carlsen must have played hundreds of games.
Well some other bussiness-dudes played him as well and they had to pay for it so you are probably right.
If a rich business dude wants to pay Carlsen to play a game, what's the problem? You'd do the same thing if you were a rich dude and wanted to play against [insert name of your favourite chess player here] and spend some time with that person. Don't be a hypocrite.

What does "buy him" mean? He is a chess professional and if your pockets are deep enough then YOU TOO can play chess with Magnus Carlsen.

Well Soros is a big globalist and spawn of Satan, one of the oligarchy destroying the world intentionally to create the new world order, as is Rogoff, a Federal Reserve and IMF apologist, two fo the key destructive forces of evil in the world today so indeed Carlsen is being initiated into the globalist sphere as are all people of influence when rising up the ranks.

Really great interaction of Magnus with "the" chess loving youngsters and chess community in New Amsterdam !
I second you Mauli.

Haha, it wasn't hard to guess that some of the usual regulars would throw up in their mouths when seeing this article :-)
Great PR for chess!
Finally we see chess players taking on a professional career. -Getting private income, entering the commercial marked and attracting media. Magnus is showing the way.
BTW: I just read Karjakin got his website up and a new sponsor deal. Giri has a sponsor too.
Pro Chess is entering a new phase these days :-)

Carlsen does nothing without beeing paid a great sum of money. One week in NY - no less than
minimum 250.000 Dollar for sure. How much had the parrents to pay for their kids having a few minutes with this moneymachin?
top female figure skater in the world makes 8 mil $/year. Magnus according to him makes about 1,5 per year.
Not that much. His camp reports that Magnus earns (counting chess, modeling and all endorsements) the equivalent of 1.5 million usd per year.
And what's the problem? Someone invites Magnus and pays him to visit the club. The chess players and kids enjoy it. And what makes you think that the parents pay for all the expenses? Most of the expenses are probably paid by the club and/or its sponsors. This is good PR for chess. Everyone benefits. Stop being so cynical. I think you'd have seen things in a less cynical light if you'd been there yourself.
1 year 7 months ago
I'm blocking out all you cynics - top bloke.
How smart would it be to play against the #1 player in the world at that age. And Ken Rogoff... bet he'll be dining out on that draw for a while (even if he is a GM).
1 year 7 months ago
poor Carlsen ...
It is now in the hands of the Jews: Agdestein, Richard Conn, George Soros, Rogoff.
They have everything. Lead the world not enough for them?
1 year 7 months ago
poor Carlsen...
Having fun when doing chess... and even promoting chess in the media. What a shame.
Pitty S3 sitting behind the iron curtain somewhere with Brezjnev on the wall and romancing the times when mazurca ruled the radiowaves and Soviet players ruled the game. Every Carlsen news flash torture his narrow mind.
I feel pitty for him because Carlsen gonna be around for another 30 years! LOL
he only came because michael propper and russ mckofsy paid him a lot of money to do so. he doesnt care about kids and isnt much of a teacher. michael propper and russ mckofsky are horrible business men who have little place in the chess world other than to exploit it for their own purposes. no one should support chess nyc nor the chess shop (go to the forum, its the old chess shop --like before it was stolen by michael propper).
And you only came here to post groundless accusations and insulting insinuations. Who cares what you think, anyway? People obviously enjoyed Carlsen's visit, and I hardly think Magnus would do this only for the sake of money. Carlsen has visited schools in the US before and discussed chess with the schoolchildren, and it was not money that motivated him to do so. You need a reality check if you really think that people always do things just for money, or that money is always bad.

Kdenlive 0.7.7 for LHP 443
Subject description: Video Editor
A warning....
For Puppy versions earlier than 4.3.x, try
PupGeek's Kdenlive
. Haven't tested it personally, but I heard it works.
Also for a smaller Kdenlive (42MB) for 4.3.1, scroll down a bit. It's still experimental however
Kdenlive 0.7.7 SFS
MD5 checksum
Alternatively here's a pet:
Probably best not to uninstall it once installed.
Requires KDE 4 and
Easy way of getting KDE 4 is to use
Lighthouse Pup by Tazoc
. LHP is based off the latest official Puppy release 4.3.1, with some very cool touches. My Puppy of choice currently.
Kdenlive is a free open-source video editor for GNU/Linux and FreeBSD, which supports DV, AVCHD (experimental support) and HDV editing. Kdenlive relies on several other open source projects, such as FFmpeg and MLT video framework.
The software was designed to answer all needs, from basic video editing to semi-professional work.
If you just wanted to test this SFS, I'd suggest testing on a pupsave you don't really care about because I think SFSs replace stuff when they're mounted and when they're unmounted the stuff they replaced is will no longer be there. I need to clarify on that point because right now I'm pretty lost on the whole making pets and SFSs game.
One more thing, feel free to rename the SFS as I stupidly named it "SFS" and only noticed after it was uploaded. If folks are using a Full installation, I've uploaded the pets too, just haven't written down the links, there are
of dependencies.

Ok. To tell the truth I have double motives in posting this SFS. The first thing folks who know what they're about are going to notice is this SFS is unnecessarily big. On the plus side, if ya ever wanna compile anything you've got all the headers. But I know this is quite a disgrace to Puppy as the in thing is small as possible. I mean, it makes sense and I have no problem with that, but er, I need help. I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to packaging stuff. Could someone who knows what they're doing when it comes to SFS download the giant and tell me what's safe to delete? Also it would be great if someone could explain the whole stripping packages deal. I tried doing it for my Cinelerra package, but I ended up with loads of dependency errors, so I just uploaded the pets without being stripped.

well I for one couldn't care less what stuff is in there as long as it works,- and anyone who's doing video editing really isn't going to worry about having an app taking 69M
Good work!

Yes, I agree with Dave. Looks great, Battleshooter! I renamed it and mirrored on
Sometimes I remove the demos, docs and man files, especially gtk-doc but they weren't large enough to matter on this one. Often packagers will separate the /usr/share/locale localization files into a separate package but here again it wasn't large enough to do that.
I read something about stripping on Barry's Blog but I don't remember what he said. /usr/bin was 44M uncompressed. I just stripped /usr/bin/kdenlive from 20M down to 2.7M and the app still runs with no errors in a terminal, but I didn't actually open/edit/save a vid yet.
Looked like /usr/lib was the biggest piece, 116M, maybe some of the libs are in LHP but might need your versions anyway.
Very good job and thank you,

Nothing like a good stripping and sounds like it needs it.
I usually use strip without any options and avoid using it on kernel modules.
With a kde setup the program itself was pretty small and so is the mlt it runs on.
Someone cut kde libs down to 10MB for running k3b on here.
Its that 'oh look how tiny it is ' satisfaction that makes us think size is important.
I think openoffice weaned me of being minimalistic.
I just need to spend time getting the hang of transitions and outputting to a format I want

Thanks for the thumbs up Dave and Tazoc, glad to hear it's working. Thanks for the mirror too Tazoc, it's an honor to be on LHP's site
Don't worry Mike, I won't leave Kdenlive as it is, I know it still needs a lot of work, but now I've actually made a successful SFS I think I'm feeling a bit more confident to give it a good stripping and shrinking. I like it how Puppians go to the effort to make things small, I feel it's one of the things that help us differ from the crowd in that we actually care about size.

Ok, here's my latest offering. I had ago at stripping the Kdenlive sfs. 42MB. Somehow I'm not pleased. I guess I wanted it smaller still. Kdenlive seems to be a very big package. Let's see what did I remove?
Got rid of the documentation in /usr/share. 5MB
Got rid of /usr/include/ and any folder titled "man". 3MB
A folder called in /usr/share called "locale" 2MB
The whopper slice was mostly from stripping the bin folder, but now what? It's still huge and I haven't even tried adding KDE libs to make it a standalone package like K3B. I suppose from what I've heard, I think it was what Ttuuxxx said, the next thing to do is to go around deleting everything and seeing if there's an error... But man! That sounds tedious. I might leave it as is. Hopefully I'll be content at sweeping off 30MB. Hopefully. I'll probably go and work on my Cinelerra SFS.
BTW, sorry about the new countdown download thing, I've hunting around for a new file host.

Hey that's a big saving.
When I was putting together kde desktop/koffice this sort of size was to be expected but once done adding kde apps is just like puppy...eg k3b adds just 2.8 MB, khexedit less than 1MB.
One big puppy bonus is that kde/qt4 runs much faster due to the absence of the countless background daemons running...some distros are as bad as vista.
I think getting kdenlive running on nimblex was about an extra 4-5 MB...those core libs are the main bulk.
regards and nice one

Actually, most of my Roxapps, including Kdenlive are big... they do not contain the headers or dev stuff, but they have all the dependencies self-contained (or at least they try to). That was my intended goal, however. Minimally packaged apps are for people who are more experienced with linux and puppy. My roxapps are aimed at those without such experience or desire to be always tweaking their systems. It's all a matter of preference, really.

Hi Rameshiyer,
I'm uploading the pet right now. The pet is 43MB and when installed it will take up 137MB. All dependencies except
and KDE is included. Let me know if it works.

Hey Rameshiyer,
You're missing KDE4. I'd recommend using LighthousePup if you're not using it already. No one has come up with a stand alone KDE4 package yet. I was thinking about it, but I don't see any point as LighthousePup comes with it anyway.

Major announcement by Franklin alderman Steve Olson
Olson sent this e-mail today:
Dear Neighbors:
This morning I submitted paperwork to the City Clerk announcing that I will NOT be seeking re-election as your alderman this April.
As my bosses, I feel it important to let you all know right away.
I've had the honor to represent you for what will be nine years. I represented the 2nd district for three years prior and have been involved with economic development and various city committees since 1991. It's been a tremendous opportunity and with you, we've accomplished a lot.
My wife and I did not take this decision lightly. There is a lot of work left to be done in the city.
We spent a lot of time discussing the responsibility and came to the conclusion that the trade-off between my experience and the possible energy and vision that could be provided by a new alderman balanced to opening the opportunity to someone new.
I am now required to travel extensively for my work and that causes me to want to spend as much time with my family as I can when I'm at home.
I'll continue to work hard for you to the election and installation of a new alderman.
As always, don't hesitate to call me with your needs.
Steve Olson
Alderman, 1st District
I respect Alderman Olson's decision and thank him for his years of service to

What is a teaching assistant?
"Teaching Assistant" is a generic term including many specific positions for students who assist in teaching classes at Stanford. It is also a specific term for one category of such positions. We here use the term in its general sense as almost all appointments for Teaching Assistants in the School of Engineering are officially called "Course Assistants" as defined by the University. A Course Assistant (CA) is a graduate or coterminal student who works part time helping an instructor with a class. The CA's responsibilities can include office hours for individual student assistance, review or study sessions, occasional lectures, preparation of assignments, grading exams and projects, and solutions. A CA for a laboratory class may also be responsible for laboratory supervision, equipment, or demonstrations.
Who is eligible to be a TA?
By University regulations a TA must have graduate standing or be a coterminal student with at least 180 units completed. The TA appointments are not restricted to EE students; students from other departments may apply, but we do give preference to EE students since it is a form of financial aid. A student with TGR status can be appointed as a TA; however no matter which percent appointment is held ONLY the TGR fee will be paid. Any units taken will be at the TA's own expense.
The EE Department requires that students provide an unofficial copy of their Stanford transcript with their application.
How many hours does a TA work?
TAs are appointed on a percent time basis. Most of our TAs are 50% appointments and work 20 hours per week. We also offer 25% (10 hours per week) and 15% (4 hours per week) appointments. These levels of work are typical, however some appointments may require more effort and others less. Under no circumstances should a 50% TA work more than 20 hours per week. The TA should consult the course instructor and possibly the EE CA administrator if the workload is too heavy.
Work in addition to appointment
It is University policy that a student on full fellowship or 50% time assistantship may work no more than eight hours a week in addition.
NOTE: International students on F and J visas may NOT work more than 50% time.
What is a TA paid?
A TA is paid a tuition grant and a quarterly salary (paid semimonthly over the quarter).Students must first be admitted to candidacy, as outline in the EE Graduate Handbook (http://ee.stanford.edu/gradhandbook/Program_Information:Ph.D._Degree), in order to receive the Post-Quals rate.
|Pre-Quals TA
|Post Quals TA
|Mentoring TA and Teaching Affiliate
|Tuition Grant
Does a TA appointment restrict a student's registration?
The University typically restricts the academic load of a 50% TA to 10 units per quarter. The philosophy is that a student cannot work half time and take a full academic load and do both justice. This 10 unit restriction has both good and bad features; the 50% TA's tuition is completely covered by the tuition grant, but the TA's academic progress is slowed down (a 50% TA normally takes 5 quarters to complete the Master's program). A 50% TA can register for 10 units. This may become necessary to enable you to fulfill your seminar requirement. In extremely rare cases 50% TA's may register for more than 10 units and then only after receiving permission from the Dean's Office, as well as approval from their advisor and the Department Chair. They must then pay for the extra unit. 25% and 10% TAs are generally required by the School of Engineering to take a full academic load and must pay for the difference between full tuition and the TA tuition grant (i.e., in 2004/05 the TA must pay $3,450 per quarter in addition to the tuition grant for a 25% TA). Other appointments of less than 50% will be calculated according to the percent time and the units of tuition granted for them.
How does a TA register and use the tuition grant?
Tuition for the TA appointment will be credited to the University bill. If you have a late TA appointment and there is no credit on your bill, simply defer that portion of the tuition that will be covered by the TA tuition grant. The portion of the deferment covered by the TA grant will be automatically canceled when the tuition grant is processed. Please do not defer ASSU or other fees, as they are not covered by the tuition grant. Any deferment fee not on the portion covered by the TA grant must be paid by the student. Please see Graduate Student Assistantships Guide [1] for a complete discussion of tuition grants with unused units.
May I apply for an RA, a TA in another department, or other support while I am requesting a TA position?
Yes, you are welcome to try for other appointments while we are considering your TA application; however once you accept a TA appointment you are expected to fill it. Therefore you must withdraw your TA application immediately after receiving other support. The maximum total appointment per quarter is 50%.
Requirements for applicants for whom English is not the first language
International students who expect to hold teaching assistantships must be screened for English proficiency. To be screened, a student must:
- contact Tracey A. Riesen, firstname.lastname@example.com for an appointment, and
- take an introductory undergraduate engineering textbook to the appointment
The screening consists of a simulated office-hour conversation (about 30 minutes) between a TA and an undergraduate student. The TA being tested does not need to prepare for the screening. No exceptions are allowed to this requirement. Failure to comply may result in the delay or loss of an appointment. Additional information about screening of international teaching assistants (ITAs) can be found online at [2].
How to apply
The EE Department accepts applications on a quarterly basis. All students who wish to apply for a Teaching Assistantant appointment must do so quarterly. To submit an online application, please go to [3]
For questions regarding our online application, please contact email@example.com.

*Zermatt / Matterhorn
Alphorn players in Zermatt: Tradition sets a new record on Gornergrat
Zermatt, Matterhorn, Switzerland, Alphorns – words that call up exciting visions for visitors, be they from Switzerland or abroad. On Saturday, 17 August 2013, over 550 Alphorn players will assemble on Gornergrat to set a new world record. Alphorns are fascinating instruments, especially when played at the foot of the imposing Matterhorn mountain. The cherished Swiss tradition of Alphorn playing is alive and well in Zermatt.
The Alphorn is the quintessential instrument to accompany Älplerchilbi country fairs and outdoor festivals dedicated to the celebration of ancient customs and traditions. Swiss folk music just wouldn't be the same without Alphorns, Schwyzerörgeli accordions and the art of yodelling. Zermatt has its very own Alphorn band. Founded in 1990, the 'Zermatter Alphornfreunde' consist of 8 players - seven men and one women. Martin Biner (53) has been the group's president for the last 13 years. Together with his fellow Alphorn players, he provides a comfortable and cosy atmosphere at all important events hosted in Zermatt. Every year, the 'Zermatter Alphornfreunde' take part in the Zermatt Folklore Festival, perform at parties and weddings and let tourist groups have a peek at their unusual instruments.
World record on Gornergrat
Naturally, the 'Zermatter Alphornfreunde' will also be among the over 550 players on Gornergrat on Saturday, 17 August 2013 who will attempt to set a new world record. The musicians will premiere a two-and-a-half-minute composition for three Alphorn sections by Gilbert Kolly, entitled "Uf em Gornergrat". On top of this, one of the musicians will play the world's longest Alphorn, which measures an impressive 47 metres.
"The Alphorn epitomises composure and calm", says Peter Baumann, the president of the Alphorn commission of the Swiss Yodelling Association. According to his estimate, there are as many as 5,000 Alphorn players in Switzerland, 2,000 of which are members of the Yodelling Association. Time and again, it is this "escape from daily stress", as Baumann puts it, that attracts people with long-term careers to the world of Alphorn playing. "However", he says, "only ten years ago, it was typically people in their 50s who started learning to play. Today, more and more young people are learning the instrument as a counterbalance to the daily toil". Zermatt resident Martin Biner was given an Alphorn by his father 27 years ago and has been playing ever since. At 86, his father Emil Biner will probably be the oldest musician to play at the world record event on Gornergrat.
Fascinating harmonic series
Its distinctive harmonic series sets the Alphorn apart from other instruments. The mystic sound – referred to by experts as overtones – has a calming effect on players and listeners alike. Complex melodies which have not been written for the Alphorn can only be played by virtuosos. Alphorns have 16 fixed notes and only three semi-tones. Most of the three-metre instruments are tuned to F sharp.
"Players must practice to get a good sound out of their instruments", says the president of the 'Zermatter Alphornfreunde': "We rehearse twice a week and give around eight to ten performances in the summer months. In winter, there are few performances but we keep up our twice-weekly rehearsals", explains Martin Biner. With a whimsical smile, he says in Zermatt dialect: "Im Summer läufts vellig" – a lot goes on in summer.
There will definitely be a lot happening on Saturday, 17 August. When asked what it will be like to play with over 550 fellow musicians, Martin Biner smiles: "I will hardly hear myself". Having participated in the Gornergrat Alphorn world record in 2009, he speaks from experience. Players from the lowlands may be a bit short-winded at the altitude of 3,100 metres - Alphorns require a lot of breath.
Traditional in Switzerland for over 500 years
The origins of the Alphorn are obscure. It is assumed that they were already popular in Asia in primeval times. The first written reference to Alphorns in Switzerland dates back to the year 1527. The instrument can thus look back on at least 500 years of history in Switzerland. It is likely that it was originally used as a signalling and communication instrument in the Alps. At the same time, it has always been played for entertainment on cosy evenings after a strenuous day of work.
Experience the unique Alphorns
- Mondays and Wednesdays in summer, 6 to 7 p.m., Schulhausplatz Walka, Zermatt
- Saturday, 17 August 2013, attempt at breaking the world record on Gornergrat. Start: 11.15 a.m. Alternative date: Sunday, 18 August, same time
- Saturday, 17 August 2013, 4.30 p.m. Joint Alphorn concert on the tennis courts, Obere Matten
