Kramnik defended his successfully, although his results have been abyssmal the past few years outside of his match with Leko. If Kramnik stymies negotiations with FIDE and Topalov, he will be stripped of his title the way Fischer was. As corrupt as FIDE is, it must have some authority. Of course, FIDE would need to recognize something before they could take it away, and that recognition will undermine some of the organization's absurd claims in recent years. |
Chess news: Chess Notes -- The decisive game in the Anand/Topalov chess match, Game 12, was oddly a well-trodden Queen’s Gambit Declined, the Lasker Variation. However, Anand as black varied slightly from the normal variation, electing to defer equality for a move and then getting a bishop for a knight but putting a queen bishop pawn at risk.

It would be hard to imagine a busier schedule. Last weekend, no fewer than eight chess tournaments were in play. In Odessa, Ukraine, the World Rapid Cup was won by Sergey Karjakin, a Ukrainian who now plays for Russia. In Malmo, Sweden, Anish Giri, 15, a Dutch chess grandmaster, took first in the Sigeman & Company tournament. And in Paraguay, Eduardas Rozentalis of Lithuania coasted to victory at the Asunción Copa Roggio. Meanwhile, 6 players out of a field of more than 200 tied for first at the Star Chess School tournament in Bhubaneswar, India, and Martyn Kravtsiv of ... Chess Grand Prix -- Ukraine grandmaster Pavel Eljanov, probably the least-known of the world's leading chess players, won the sixth Grand Prix chess tournament in Astrakhan, Russia. Eljanov's 8-5 score in the round robin gave him a distinct edge over his 13 rivals, who all finished between 7-6 and 5 1/2 -7 1/2. Eljanov, who turned 27 during the chess tournament, won five games, mostly by superb handling of Queenless middlegames. This success unofficially boosts him to sixth in the world rankings. He modestly said, "Today I am in the top 10, and tomorrow I can be far, far away." Thus the trouble-plagued 2008-2009 Grand Prix cycle ends, six months behind schedule. Levon Aronian of ... | |
