A twenty-something phenom presides over the world's chess ratings and a new book recalling one of the greatest chess magicians has been published recently. The Chess Champions. Vishy Anand steps into the year 2011 as the world chess champion. At 41, the Indian grandmaster can look back on his career contentedly. In 1991 in Brussels, he almost eliminated Anatoly Karpov from the world championship cycle. In the next 20 years, Anand won many major tournaments and world championships under different formats and time controls. How long can Anand keep the world title is ...

[let's be far from that evil] ——— To Play Better Against Attractive Women, Men Need to Avert Their Eyes — Do men get distracted by and play chess differently against attractive women than against other opponents? Yes, according to a study by Swedish researchers. Called “Beauty Queens and Battling Knights: Risk Taking and Attractiveness in Chess,” the study used a large data set of results from international chess tournaments and cross-referenced them with photographs of 626 of the chess players — almost half of them women — whose attractiveness was rated by at least 50 independent observers. The study concluded, “Our results suggest that male chess players choose significantly riskier strategies when playing against an attractive female opponent, even though this does not ...

Some oneword name. Does anyone recall that setup? It sounded very nice at the time. I'm not aware if it analyzed in the process, but that was beside the point if so. When I edited Metro Chess, so very much time went into game score verification, then typing afterward ... I would have loved to find this under my Christmas tree ! ... }8-) ——— Chess grandmasters use twice the brain : Study — It may take years of hard work to become a chess grandmaster, but it gives a real boost to the brain – for working out chess problems, at least. It seems expert chess players use both sides of their brain to process chess tasks, rather than just one. Merim Bilalic at the University of Tübingen in Germany used fMRI to scan the brains of eight international chess players and eight novices while they identified either geometrical shapes or whether the pieces on a chess board were in a check situation. The expert players were quicker at solving the chess problem, activating areas on both sides of their brains as they did so. The novices used just the left side. Bilalic had expected ...

Good luck. ——— Chess: The best form of defence — It may be a cliche, but in a tight spot attacking can be the best way forward. RB: Hands up those of you who plumped for 1 Rb1. There's no disgrace if you did. Peter Leko, rated 2743 when he played this game, opted for exactly that and went on to draw. It's the move I thought of when I first came across the game, in Drazen Marovic's Secrets of Positional Chess – but is it the best? After a series of miserable failures on my part, the boot's on the other foot this week – it's Dan's turn to solve the chess puzzle. DK: Black's rook has just swept down to c2 attacking the pawn on b2, and although that could be defended with 1 Rb1, my gut feeling tells me not to look at this too deeply ...

On Saturday, four Americans earned titles at the Berkeley International chess tournament. Samuel Shankland, 19, the reigning United States Junior Champion, became a grandmaster, while Keaton Kiewra, 23, Daniel Naroditsky, 15, and Conrad Holt, 17, all qualified as international masters. Kiewra actually earned a grandmaster norm — the first of three needed for the title — but he still must raise his international rating above 2,400 to satisfy the requirements for the international master title. That is often less difficult than achieving the norms. Tatev Abrahamyan, 22 (she will be 23 on Thursday), earned ... Posted by odonata | mailcafe.net 11/17/2005 06:19:04 Play online chess Some hints on publishing...Message: Just like you I've probably searched all the web for those programs and probably just like you, none of them is offering me full satisfaction. Yet I can advise you a few things: With chessprograms like Fritz8 you can publize your games. Advantage: nice lay out, easy to drop in variations and make comments in it, less good is the fact that it's less easy to incorporate it in your web pages (according to me). Another way to incorporate your games is via the website of ICC. You copy paste your pgn and they create the viewer, which afterwards is easy to incorporate in your website. -> www.chessclub.com Even if you don't know too much about programming, you can change the lay a bit (color of squares), you can always see an example on my website: -> users.skynet.be maybe this helps you a bit! cheers, Odonata Posted by chrisp | mailcafe.net 11/23/2005 10:09:18 Play online chess ThanksMessage: I hope to have a website to display the results on completed in the near future.
