It is a compilation of chess stories, biographical sketches, chess games and fragments with references to art and science. The author is a professor of mathematics, and the book was first published in German. It resembles work previously done by Tim Krabbé, a prominent Dutch writer, on his website Chess Curiosities. Krabbé was born in the same year as Bobby Fischer (1943) and on the same day as Garry Kasparov (April 13). The combination of the two could have made him a strong chess player, but when he ...

Adams celebrated his fortieth birthday on Thursday by regaining his place in the world top 20, a ranking list where his peak a decade ago was at No4. Jones has just achieved a series of personal bests. His unbeaten 6/9 in the Euroteams followed quickly on a success at the Corsica Open, and he agreed an early draw in his final game in Greece to fly back to the UK in time for the opening weekend's play in Britain's 4NCL league. There he won both his games, including the elegant 16-move miniature featured ...

Chances are they would resemble the lovable little contestants beautifully carved from walrus tusks by anonymous artisans in the famous cache known as the Lewis Chessmen. Except for the pawns, which are shaped like tombstones and dome-topped, octagonal towers, each king, queen, bishop, knight and warder, as rooks used to be called, has the bug-eyed, stupefied expression of a Simpson. They could be Homer’s ancestors. You can judge for yourself: 34, all from the British Museum, are in “The Game of Kings: Medieval ...

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. This prestigious event features 10 chess players, all grandmasters, in a round-robin format, and this field is quite possibly the strongest of any chess tournament, ever. The players in the event, and their rating/world rank according to FIDE, the World Chess Federation, are as follows: Magnus Carlsen: 2826 (1), Viswanathan Anand: 2811 (2), Levon Aronian: 2802 (3), Vladimir Kramnik: 2800 (4), Vassily Ivanchuk ...

But beware – this game is more compelling than life. I have diverted myself briefly from playing online chess to write this. I've been keeping a log of the games I've played this week, and they number more than 60. At some point in the last five years, mainly thanks to the fact that chess and the internet are made for each other, I became a chess obsessive. 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. "Chess is my world," said the former Soviet world chess champion Mikhail Tal. "Not a house, not a fortress where I hide myself from life's hardship, but ...
