I enjoyed the chance to test various lines in an unfamiliar opening without the risk of losing rating points. I find it more satisfying to practice chess when playing against a real person. So, any interest in sparring?

Chess news: Magnus Carlsen's star continues to rise in Norway -- Magnus Carlsen's World Blitz victory in Moscow has made the 19-year-old the darling of the Norwegian media. Carlsen scored 31/42 in the double-round event against the chess elite, with a rating performance close to 2900. He finished three points clear of world chess champion Vishy Anand, and six ahead of Sergey Karjakin in third. Despite this impressive performance, it was one of Carlsen's few defeats which really put him on the front pages and raised his fame quotient in Oslo to a par with Bobby Fischer. In an early round he lost to the world woman champion Alexandra Kosteniuk after blundering a rook, briefly attempting to substitute another move, and resigning ... Magnus Carlsen wins blitz championship -- The World Blitz Chess Championship in Moscow assembled 22 leading grandmasters for a three-day extravaganza of speed chess.

Norwegian chess prodigy Magnus Carlsen, who turns 19 Monday, won with a fantastic score of 31-11. That's 28 wins, eight losses and only six draws. World chess champion Viswanathan Anand of India, two weeks shy of age 40, continues to excel at a young man's game. He finished second with 28-14.

Chess notes -- The chess news from Moscow simply inundated the world this month; first as former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik of Russia demonstrated that he is still a strong contender for that title.

Besides capturing the Tal Memorial, he also buttoned up his ninth title in the Dortmund, Germany, chess tournament. In the Tal tourney, Kramnik scored 6 points, heading ...
