I would expect White to follow up with 2 Re1 when Black should probably turn his attention to getting his king to safety, starting with 2…g6 (or 2…e6), and all looks pretty secure. But I know that Dan likes to try to open up a king that hangs around in the middle, so after 1…Bb7 is there any way for White to take immediate advantage of Black's under-developed kingside? What about a quick advance of ... |

Message: So honololou what do you mean by what you have said? ——— On chess: Teacher makes game fun, fun, fun — Chess can sometimes serve as a big brother. "It helped us stay out of trouble, especially after school," said Luis Garcia, 23. "It kept us safe." Garcia is a former student to Patrick Neely, a retired teacher, veteran chess guru and longtime surfer who runs a "Surf 'n' Chess" program at an elementary school in Glendale, Ariz. His disciples immerse themselves in an environment of chess, Beach Boys tunes and other oldies in the school cafeteria. Neely's program confers benefits in addition to keeping kids off the streets. "It makes you think. It's strategy," Garcia said. The chess novices are also taught respect for themselves and others. They shake hands with their opponents and wish them well before ... |

Officials determined that the master, Christoph Natsidis, 23, had consulted a computer program on his smartphone during his game against the grandmaster Sebastian Siebrecht in the last round. Natsidis made repeated trips to the bathroom, for 8 to 10 minutes at a time. Siebrecht offered him a draw, which Natsidis accepted. Afterward, a tournament referee asked to see Natsidis’s phone and found a chess program on it with a position from the game. A message sent to Natsidis’s Facebook page asking him for comment was not answered. Natsidis’s disqualification cost ... |

Anand's chess match in Leon against Spain's ex-Latvian No1 Alexey Shirov was only one-hour rapid chess but the Indian won it in style, 4.5-1.5. His three wins included the brilliancy below plus a move six novelty as Black in the solid Caro-Kann which proved so strong that the demoralised Shirov resigned his wretched position as early as move 17. At 41 Anand keeps himself in excellent professional shape. Spain is his European base and he splits his time between training there with ... |
