It was easy because I don't think he can handle anything difficult. It's been my experience that when anyone says he knows everything about something---He knows nothing! |

I recall a master's quote "He who says he understands chess, understands nothing." I don't think anyone knows much about Fischer. He's like an iceberg---90% hidden! |
Chess news: A Bad Night at the Board -- “Nobody told me there would be days like these, strange days indeed.” (John Lennon) Hikaru Nakamura is the reigning United States chess champion and ranked No. 24 in the world. He is one of the best chess players the United States has ever produced. As good as he is, it has probably been a very long time, if ever, since he played a game like the one he was involved in on Wednesday night. Nakamura was playing in the quarterfinals of the United States Chess League for the Seattle Sluggers and his team faced the Miami Sharks, who are led by Julio Becerra. Becerra is unquestionably a good chess player. He is a grandmaster and he is ranked No. 477 in the world among ... Kramnik Retains Lead at Tal Memorial; Carlsen Notches First Win -- With one round to go in the Tal Memorial chess tournament in Moscow, Vladimir Kramnik of Russia holds a half-point lead over Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, and Vassily Ivanchuk of Ukraine. Magnus Carlsen of Norway is alone in fourth after beating Ruslan Ponomariov in Round 8. Kramnik has held the lead since Round 6, despite being held to draws in the last two games. In Round 8, he launched a sacrificial attack against Peter Leko of Hungary, but Leko was never in any real danger and simply returned the extra material to achieve a balanced position, after which Kramnik forced a draw by perpetual check. Carlsen, the top seed in the chess tournament ... Norwegian, 18, Is Youngest to Be Ranked No. 1 at Chess -- The chess world has a new No. 1 player, Magnus Carlsen of Norway, and he is only 18 years old — the youngest chess player ever to hold the rank. On Saturday, Mr. Carlsen beat Peter Leko, a Hungarian player now ranked No. 11, in the final round of a chess tournament in Moscow. Though Mr. Carlsen only tied for second in the tournament, his performance was good enough for him to edge out Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria for the top world ranking. Mr. Topalov, 34, did not compete in the tournament. Mr. Carlsen, who turns 19 on Nov. 30, is only the seventh No. 1-ranked chess player since the ranking system began in 1970. Garry Kasparov, the Russian former world chess champion ... | |
