Chess news: A Year With No New Champs but Plenty of Big Winners -- Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, and Alexandra Kosteniuk of Russia, the women’s titleholder, were able to rest on their laurels in 2009. That was because for the first time in six years there was no world championship match or tournament. That did not mean there were fewer big matches. In some ways there were more than ever. In addition to the traditional elite chess tournaments in Linares, Spain; Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands; and Moscow, upstart events in Sofia, Bulgaria, and Nanjing, China, thrived, and a chess tournament had its debut in London. And Russia played host to the World Chess Cup. Buoyed by victories in Nanjing and London, Magnus Carlsen, ...

The game enjoys a calmer decade -- After the turbulent 1990s, the world of chess needed a calmer period. Here are my reflections on the past decade and a few guesses about the future: Bobby Fischer, probably the most famous chess player ever, died in 2008. Fischer had not played publicly since 1992, but he grabbed attention with vile anti-American statements and a long battle to avoid extradition from Japan. He eventually won the battle, sparing chess fans and the U.S. government more embarrassment, and spent his final years in exile in Iceland. His "improved" version of the game, Fischer random chess, has attracted few adherents. Garry Kasparov, another colossal chess figure, retired in 2005. He quickly ... | |
