Chess: Pawn power — How an apparently innocuous pawn move can invite trouble. DK: Last week Ronan introduced our new theme: pawn storms. This position doesn't obviously fit with that, but read on… RB: I don't know this line of the Closed Sicilian but doesn't 1…Bb7 seem the logical continuation? I would expect White to follow up with 2 Re1 when Black should probably turn his attention to getting his king to safety, starting with 2…g6 (or 2…e6), and all looks pretty secure. But I know that Dan likes to try to open up a king that hangs around in the middle, so after 1…Bb7 is there any way for White to take immediate advantage of Black's under-developed kingside? What about a quick advance of ...

On chess: Teacher makes game fun, fun, fun — Chess can sometimes serve as a big brother. "It helped us stay out of trouble, especially after school," said Luis Garcia, 23. "It kept us safe." Garcia is a former student to Patrick Neely, a retired teacher, veteran chess guru and longtime surfer who runs a "Surf 'n' Chess" program at an elementary school in Glendale, Ariz. His disciples immerse themselves in an environment of chess, Beach Boys tunes and other oldies in the school cafeteria. Neely's program confers benefits in addition to keeping kids off the streets. "It makes you think. It's strategy," Garcia said. The chess novices are also taught respect for themselves and others. They shake hands with their opponents and wish them well before ...

Disqualified by Evidence on a Phone — A German master was disqualified from his country’s chess championship tournament this month, done in by his cellphone. Officials determined that the master, Christoph Natsidis, 23, had consulted a computer program on his smartphone during his game against the grandmaster Sebastian Siebrecht in the last round. Natsidis made repeated trips to the bathroom, for 8 to 10 minutes at a time. Siebrecht offered him a draw, which Natsidis accepted. Afterward, a tournament referee asked to see Natsidis’s phone and found a chess program on it with a position from the game. A message sent to Natsidis’s Facebook page asking him for comment was not answered. Natsidis’s disqualification cost ...

There are no comments, but it's very up-to-date, albeit some low quality games, but it has some cool features like position search and elo for both players.

Vishy Anand crushes Alexey Shirov with bravura performance — Vishy Anand, the world chess champion, has responded to the limp draws in the candidates matches and the surprise victory there of Israel's Boris Gelfand by restating his own credentials with a bravura performance. Anand's chess match in Leon against Spain's ex-Latvian No1 Alexey Shirov was only one-hour rapid chess but the Indian won it in style, 4.5-1.5. His three wins included the brilliancy below plus a move six novelty as Black in the solid Caro-Kann which proved so strong that the demoralised Shirov resigned his wretched position as early as move 17. At 41 Anand keeps himself in excellent professional shape. Spain is his European base and he splits his time between training there with ...

Kasparov launches “chess for schools” plan in EU — When it comes to encouraging children to do better at school, Gary Kasparov says the answer is in black and white. After several successful years in the US, the former world chess champion wants to introduce his Chess in Schools programme across the EU. Kasparov’s not-for-profit foundation hopes the European Parliament will give the go-ahead for a roll-out in September. It helps them with the curriculum.” he told reporters in Brussels,“it has great social effect, integrating kids from very different social backgrounds. It is also a very important element in this time of economic hardship – it is cheap. Computers will play a central role in the programme, giving students the opportunity to learn chess ...
