Chess news: The Best Woman in Chess Still Stands Alone at the Top -- Judit Polgar is the only woman to ever be ranked in the world’s top 10, or even in the top 100. At age 34, her ranking has slipped to 51 (from No. 8 in 2005) as the responsibilities of being a wife and mother — she has two children, ages 3 and 5 — have left her little time to train and compete. Since 1991, when Polgar became the youngest chess grandmaster in history, more than a dozen women have also earned the title. Two of them, Humpy Koneru of India and Hou Yifan of China, became grandmasters when they were even younger than Polgar. But no other woman has been able to break into the chess elite. Koneru is 23, and Yifan is only 16, so it seems likely that ... Title Match Remains Tied After Champion Misses Win -- With the world chess championship match having entered a critical stage, Viswanathan Anand of India, the titleholder, switched openings in Game 9, hoping to recapture momentum and the lead that he relinquished with a loss in Game 8. He almost did. But, with victory in sight, Anand faltered and missed a couple of winning continuations, which allowed Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, the challenger, to salvage the game and keep the best-of-12 match tied. In each of the previous games he had White, Anand had steered the opening into the Catalan system, which is solid, but not too dynamic. In Game 9, he played 3 Nc3 instead of 3 Nf3 for the first time. That gave Topalov ... With Another Draw, Chess Championship Match Remains Tied -- Game 10 of the world chess championship match between Viswanathan Anand of India, the titleholder, and Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, ended in a relatively uneventful draw on Friday. With only two games remaining in the best-of-12 series, the players are tied with 5 points apiece. If the match should remain tied after the last two games — which is a real possibility at the moment — it would go to a tie-breaker of four rapid games (each player starts with 25 minutes and has 10 seconds added to his time after each move). Such a tie-breaker was used in the 2006 world chess championship match between Topalov and Vladimir Kramnik of Russia. After each player won a game, and one ended ... | |
