Chess: the genius of Bobby Fischer — If you didn't manage to see the excellent documentary Bobby Fischer Against The World in the cinema this summer, the DVD is released on 12 September. As the film was made for a wide audience it was understandable that the director chose not to discuss Fischer's chess-playing too deeply. But the clarity of his style on the chessboard makes for a telling contrast with his life away from it. Over the next few weeks we are going to be looking at some of Fischer's chess games. Here Black's king and bishop stand well, but White still has irritating counterplay. How did Fischer keep control? RB: Over the chess board how many of us, if we're honest, would simply snatch the pawn on ...

Numberplay: Avoiding Attack — This week we hear from the second half of the Math for Love duo, Daniel Finkel, who has composed several variations on a chess classic. If you haven’t played much chess you won’t be at a disadvantage — all you need is a little logic. And watch out for that knight! Here’s Mr. Finkel: The 8 Queens Puzzle is a classic conundrum of the chess/logic/math variety: how do you place eight queens on a chessboard so that no two queens are attacking each other? Here is one possible configuration: Today, let’s pose the question for some of the less famous chess pieces on the board. 1. (Warm-up) Place eight rooks on a chessboard without any of them attacking each other. How do you know that placing ...

Two Big Chess Tournaments in the Two Biggest Cities — The biggest chess tournaments in the United States are usually held in places like Philadelphia and Las Vegas, not New York and Los Angeles. The reasons are cost (rents for tournament sites are higher in New York and Los Angeles) and convenience (inland chess tournaments tend to be easier to get to). Last weekend was an exception, with new top-level chess tournaments taking place in the two biggest cities. The competition in Los Angeles, at the First Metropolitan International Tournament, was slightly tougher and included Michael Adams of England, No. 28 in the world, and Loek van Wely of the Netherlands, No. 54. Adams lived up to his ranking by winning the chess tournament by ...

Carlsen stays cool atop rankings — Magnus Carlsen of Norway is a distinctly modern chess phenomenon. At 20, he is the world’s highest-rated chess player. He is also a millionaire — thanks to a lucrative sponsorship agreement with the G-Star apparel company — who can look forward to an expanding list of such commercial deals in the future. Off the board and on the board, Carlsen seems to do it all with a minimum of storm and stress. Unlike the legendary Bobby Fischer, he is not — as he is happy to point out — obsessed with chess. Last year, Carlsen surprised the chess community by turning down an invitation to take part in the cycle for the world chess championship. After calling for changes in the selection process and ...
