Unlike most top-level chess events, this one features three grandmaster groups, so called A, B and C. The A group, which is the strongest of the three, features most of the world's best chess players, and this year is no exception. The reigning champion is St. Louis' own Hikaru Nakamura who had his breakout tournament last year. The event, named Tata Steel after the sponsor of the event, is a 14-player round robin, which gives each of the chess players 13 games in all. The last time Hikaru Nakamura (left) played reigning U.S. Chess Champion Gata Kamsky was ... Posted by triangulator | mailcafe.net 1/05/2003 14:41:55 Play online chess what was the Message: rating of the winner?? ——— Chipmunk Chess — It was not surprising to see the world's top two rated chess players, Magnus Carlsen of Norway and Levon Aronian of Armenia, sharing a lead at the 74th Tata Steel Chess Tournament at the Dutch coastal town of Wijk aan Zee. They amassed a 5.5-2.5 score and with five rounds to go, we can expect a dramatic finish. But it was one single move that drew the attention away from the world's finest chess players. Since it created so many holes in white's position, the move could only have been invented by a chipmunk. Six moves into the game Hikaru Nakamura-David Navara, the top-rated American chess grandmaster dented his position with a strange pawn move. He didn't create a crater, but the gap was big enough for ...

It concluded that cultural factors, not biological ones, are the reasons why boys outperform girls in math. The study, by Jonathan M. Kane and Janet E. Mertz, both professors in the University of Wisconsin system, was published in the January issue of the journal Notices of the American Mathematical Society. Kane and Mertz wanted to see if they could identify why there are performance gaps between men and women in mathematics. They examined student assessment scores from 86 countries and found that although boys always outperformed girls, the gap was narrower in some countries. That suggested that ...

Don't feel too sorry for young Karjakin, he'll be the World Champion before he is 17......... Kind regards, Cal ——— On Chess: Nakamura's style backfires at times — Hikaru Nakamura is the whirling dervish of the chessboard — whose pieces seem to assail his opponents from all directions. Playing for fun is his credo. Victories against top chess players are frequent for him — including a recent one against reigning world chess champion Viswanathan Anand. Nakamura’s fondness for double-edged moves has prompted Garry Kasparov, his recent mentor, to urge him to play more solidly. But taming Nakamura is “like tethering a wild stallion,” according to columnists Harold Dondis and Patrick Wolff of The Boston Globe. In a recent chess tournament in Reggio Emilia, Italy, Nakamura jumped off to an early lead. With three rounds to go, he was two points ahead of a field that included ...

Like Fischer, in his youngest days he's a little spotty but with flashes of utter brilliancy.

The 37-year-old, originally from Kent but now a Dutch resident, is top seed in the C group, where he currently stands on 3/5 after a slow start. Sadler was ranked in the world top 30 and had the current world chess champion, Vishy Anand, close to defeat at Tilburg in 1998 just before he suddenly abandoned chess for an IT career. His impressive 2011 comeback when he won first prizes at Barcelona and Oslo occurred during his normal work holidays. In an interview for ChessVibes just before Wijk, Sadler explained that ...

Think about it, winning Hastings even though your loosing two games on the way :-)) Bent Larsen played Hastings many times, he also won there. He used to call it: "The cold feets tournament" Best Wishes Cairo |
