I recall there was a nice Noteboom game in "Logical Chess move by move" Chernev. The British master Abrahams was playing the opening regularly while Noteboom was still in knickers---So why did they name it the Noteboom and who is they? Notebooms early death perhaps was the reason. Hey that would make an interesting forum---How do openings get their names? |

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. Each player had three minutes, plus a bonus of two seconds per move, to complete a game. This time limit has supplanted five minute games as the standard for blitz. 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. He won the Tal Memorial, held in Moscow in early November in a star-studded field of 10 of the world’s highest rated chess grandmasters. Since Kramnik lost his unified world title in 2007 to Viswanathan Anand, there have been questions about what the future held for him but he has certainly reasserted himself this year. 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 ... | |
