2011 Tal Memorial — I am reporting from the 2011 Tal Memorial, held Nov. 16-26 in Moscow. I am also 10 hours later than my St. Louis readers, so that means I am reporting from the future! The Tal Memorial is named after Mikhail Tal, the eighth World Chess Champion and a Soviet chess legend.

Those 64 squares in which a life-and-death battle are waged have become the cornerstone of my existence. In this, I like to think I am in good company.

Armenia makes chess compulsory in schools — Authorities say teaching pastime to primary school children is about building character, not breeding future chess champions. Tiny Armenia is a big player in world chess, and a new gambit could make it even bigger: mandatory chess in school. The former Soviet nation has made the game part of the primary school curriculum along with such standards as maths and history for children between the ages of seven and nine. Chess is a national obsession in this country of 3 million people tucked away in a corner between Turkey and Iran. The passion was fostered in modern times by the exploits of chess champion Tigran Petrosian, who won the world chess championship in 1963 and successfully defended his title three years ...
