Bb3 Kxd8 0-1 ——— Chess: Empty threat of a pawn storm — It might look menacing, but this pawn attack is comfortably repelled. RB: Sheer terror at the impending rush of kingside pawns would make me think about getting my king to safety pretty fast. But with the queen and queen's bishop still on their starting squares, castling long will take some time and 1…0-0 looks like playing into White's hands by castling into the attack. I don't think I should let the advance of White's pawns go unchallenged. I should strike back and try to undermine him. I can see two possibilities: 1…h5 and 1…f5. The first looks safer. White won't take as 1…h5 2 gxh5 Rxh5 is obviously very bad. Instead 2 g5 is more likely, when Black can castle in ... |

Nxc6+ 1-0 ——— On Chess: Game's best can skip some preparation — Which demands more thinking or planning: football or chess? The answer doesn't seem obvious after discussing the matter with a young football coach who spends many hours watching and analyzing video. Even Sunday morning - when defensive coordinator Casey Goff is in his office at King's College in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., studying the previous day's play - offers no respite from a grueling schedule. He rarely gets home before 8 on a weeknight. Team sports require substantial strategizing before each game. On the other hand, grandmasters of chess can afford to wing it. Former world chess champion Boris Spassky used to speak of the importance of a clear mind. He often chose a leisurely session of tennis over chess analysis. Chess phenom ... |

But when Europeans play in American chess tournaments for the first time, they are often surprised that they have to bring their own equipment and that the conditions are relatively austere with few perks. It would not be surprising if they did not make the effort, given the travel involved to compete in the United States. Yet quite a few do, and there are European regulars on the American circuit, like the Dutch grandmaster Loek Van Wely. He has been among the world’s best chess players for more than a decade, and ... |

The Libyan dictator and the president of Fide, the global chess body, met in a bizarre gamelet which sparked condemnation and mystery. It was viewed as a disaster for chess but a public relations coup for Gaddafi – think Drake, bowls, and Plymouth Hoe. Technically it was a mismatch. Gaddafi had to be prompted on how to move the pieces, and Kirsan, an expert chess player, made a theatrical long queen move then hastily shook hands on a draw. It's all on YouTube. He also played with Gaddafi's son Mohammad – he of Olympics 2012 ticket fame – who is the real man in Libyan chess. Fide called the visit part of "Africa year 2011" and ... |

As usual, the chess tournament was well attended, with more than 600 players in the big event. Actually, I shouldn't call the event a tournament. It was really a full-on chess festival! Most chess tournaments are, well, chess tournaments. The National Open is a chess festival in the truest sense of the word. There is a chess camp, blitz tournament (five-minute games), quick tournament (10-minute games) and the aforementioned regular tournament (which lasts three days), as well as a big scholastic event, which draws more than 150 scholastic players. In addition, two or ... |
