England's youngest chess grandmaster, David Howell, 20, won his first five games but then lost tamely to France's No1 seed, Romain Edouard, who became the sole leader. It seemed the European GMs would fight out first prize until the little-known young Indians surged to the front in the final two rounds in an impressive breakthrough. Deep Sengupta, 22, beat Edouard in what was voted the best game of the chess event and shared the £2,000 top award on 7/9 with Arghyadip Das, 25, while ...

Gashimov and Vallejo Pons were tied for the lead before the last round and both easily drew their games to finish a point ahead of their nearest competitors with 6 points each. Gashimov was declared the winner based on superior Sonneborn-Berger points. Sergei Movsesian of Slovakia, Vassily Ivanchuk of Ukraine and David Navara of the Czech Republic tied for third, each with 5 points. Ivanchuk and Navara respectively won their last round games against Alexander Morozevich of Russia and Nigel Short of England, while Movsesian drew with ...

Francisco Vallejo Pons of Spain and Vugar Gashimov, the co-leaders after Round 7, won their games in Wednesday’s penultimate round and now lead their nearest rival by a full point. Mathematically, it is possible that Sergei Movsesian of Slovakia, who is in third, could tie Vallejo Pons and Gashimov by winning his last game. He faces Vallejo Pons on Thursday and has to win while hoping that Gashimov loses to Alexander Onischuk of the United States. Vallejo and Gashimov were not the only ones to win their games on Wednesday, as the high rate of decisive games (21 of 40) continued at the chess tournament. Vassily Ivanchuk of ...

But the Reggio Emilia tournament in Italy, which started last week, is proving an exception to the rule. Almost half the games (17 of 35) so far have ended decisively, and the last two days have been particularly exciting, with draws in only 3 out of 10 games. Francisco Vallejo Pons of Spain was the surprising early leader. He won three out of his first four games. But, he drew on Monday with Alexander Morozevich of Russia and lost Tuesday to Vugar Gashimov of Azerbaijan. That allowed Gashimov to tie Vallejo Pons for the lead, each with 4.5 points (a win is worth 1 point, a draw is a 0.5). There are a couple of ...

The world chess champion shows the way. One of the most common attacking ideas that we have to face as Black is the advance of the f-pawn. Whole chess careers have been built on this aggressive thrust and Nigel Short has often demonstrated his skill with such attacks. How did the world chess champion deal with the challenge? RB I'd like to start attacking White's centre but 1...d5 allows 2 e5, dislodging an important protector, and 1...e5 2 fxe5 dxe5 definitely does not look like fun for Black. Let's pretend it's White to move and see if that helps. What is he threatening? Is 1 e5 dangerous for Black? I don't think so ...
