Last week the Norwegian, 19, scored an unbeaten 7/10 at Pearl Spring, China, a point ahead of India's world chess champion Vishy Anand, who is ranked top on the official bi-monthly Fide rankings published a few days ago. Carlsen has recovered swiftly from his form dip at the Olympiad and Bilbao, but both he and Anand will miss Moscow's Tal Memorial which began on Thursday. This gives their chasing rivals, Vlad Kramnik and Levon Aronian, a chance to gain ground before the Carlsen-Anand-Kramnik trio all compete in the London Classic at Olympia on 8-15 December. The other significant result at ... Posted by ccmcacollister | mailcafe.net 1/06/2006 19:29:08 Play online chess for Robert James Fischer :Message: muppyman That's the capitalist way, eh? But at least it is not "FREE" 'if' you buy 10 acres on scenic 3 Mile Island, etc. I always hate those '"free"' things. **** RJF: -> www.anagramgenius.com ——— Chess: Caught in the middle — A rare chance to attack a king that hasn't had the sense to get castled. Vasily Ivanchuk was the star of the gold-winning Ukrainian team at the chess olympiad. Playing on board one and taking on the strongest opposition, he scored eight out of 10. What did he play here? RB Dan has always told me to keep an eye peeled for the chance to attack a king that hasn't had the sense to get castled. But the attacker has to move boldly. Fortunately the bold move here jumped out at me immediately – 1 Nd5. I'm going on general principles – and Dan's admonishment – rather than concrete calculation: the enemy king stuck in the middle, his rooks not yet in play, king's bishop still on ...

Message: "It's ur set" **** Anymore out there?! ——— World Chess Champions Crowned, at Youth Tournament — Where are the future stars of chess? They may have been at the World Youth Championships in Halkidiki, Greece, which ended Saturday. The chess championships are held every year and are divided into six age brackets, from those who are under 8 to those who turn 18 this year. There are open sections and sections for girls only. The tournament’s origins go back to the 1970s to the cadet championships, which were in one section for players under 18. Gradually the tournament expanded, adding a section for chess players under the age of 14 in 1979, for under 16 in 1981, for under 12 and under 10 in 1986, and for under 8 in 2006. Over the years, winners of world youth championships have ...

Ivanchuk, a Ukrainian chess grandmaster, lost the final of the 2008 Cap d’Agde Rapid tournament to Hikaru Nakamura of the United States. Sunday, both players were again in the final and this time Ivanchuk won. Ivanchuk was definitely playing better even before the final. In his semifinal match against Bu Xiangzhi of China, Ivanchuk won both games, while Nakamura struggled against Le Quang Liem of Vietnam. Le Quang won the first game of the semifinal and Nakamura had to come back and win the second game to force a playoff. In the playoff, he won both games. The final games were entertaining and a bit strange. In the first, Ivanchuk, who ...

One day before the vote, during the press conference in the Siberian town of Khanty-Mansyisk, they were trying to explain how they will change the chess world. Karpov was running for the FIDE presidency and Kasparov supported him. They still had a small chance to win. In the last six month they criscrossed the world, talking about the wonderful game of chess and what could be done to make it more popular. The next day, Sept. 29, the FIDE delegates re-elected Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, who promptly announced that he defeated two world chess champions. What ... |
