The state department would not permit him to travel to Cuba and yet he finished 2nd in the tournament to smyslov---how did he do this? ——— Playing poker in a game of chess — Hikaru Nakamura began the New Year by leading the United States to a silver medal at the chess World Team Championship. On the heels of that success, Nakamura continued his impressive play in Wijk ann Zee, Netherlands, which annually hosts the world’s most prestigious annual chess tournament. Nakamura won two of his first four games and drew the world chess champion Vishy Anand. The tournament concludes on Jan. 31. Nakamura has adopted an extremely bold style. At key attacking points Nakamura looks to sacrifices a piece. The sacrifice opens up lines and facilitates an attack on the king. Objectively, it may not be the best move, but ... |

What does White do? We continue our survey of the Scotch chess opening (which arises after 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 exd4 4 Nxd4) with a move that was the height of fashion in the 19th century. RB On my shelves is a book on the 4...Qh4 variation of the Scotch. I wish I'd actually opened it because these early queen sorties never fail to unnerve me. I'm sure this is partly because when we first try our hand at chess we immediately reach for the queen. Then, as we grow more practised, we learn to delay her deployment until we've developed the minor pieces and got the king to safety. So this kind ... |

It was easy because I don't think he can handle anything difficult. It's been my experience that when anyone says he knows everything about something---He knows nothing! ——— Hikaru Nakamura — Chess Master who would be King — The U.S. chess champion needs a shave. When he is playing well, Hikaru Nakamura doesn't like to shake up his routine. Maybe it's superstition. So when Hikaru opened strong at the prestigious Corus Chess tournament here, he put away the razor. Wednesday is a rest day at the 13-round event -- a good time to lose the beard, Hikaru decided. "I just try to keep a certain routine, and this (shaving) is one of the things I've avoided doing,'' he said after his game Tuesday. "Tomorrow, I probably will (shave) and reset everything for the second point of the tournament.'' Round four was bittersweet for the 22-year-old New Yorker. Hikaru played the black pieces against the world chess ... |

At the Corus Chess tournament in the small Dutch town of Wijk aan Zee, the fan favorite is pea soup. Chess fans slurped bowlfuls of the stuff today as they crowded in to watch the world’s best chess players compete in one of the most prestigious annual contests. Pea soup is a tradition at the tournament. During the World War II era, when food was scarce, area residents would dish out pea soup to the players as a courtesy. Food became more plentiful in later years, but the soup stayed. Now, it’s served at a special banquet for the players. Spectators can get it all day, which ... |

Best wishes Cairo ——— Corus Chess -- Showdown in the Netherlands — Where do you go when you get a week off? One option is to escape the cold weather sweeping the U.S. and head for a sunny beach. My wife and I are trying something different. Both fans of tournament chess, we decided to spend the week in the Netherlands to see the strongest chess players in the world compete in one of the most prestigious annual events, Corus Chess. I told my editors what we were doing, and for reasons I still can’t quite fathom, they asked if I’d wanted to blog the action for “The Fabulous Forum.” As chess commentators go, I’m an unorthodox choice. My day job is covering the Obama presidency for the Tribune Washington Bureau. Obama plays chess, we’re ... |

I recall a master's quote "He who says he understands chess, understands nothing." I don't think anyone knows much about Fischer. He's like an iceberg---90% hidden! |
