Message: do you want to play with white or black?
I often play this with black. You can challenge me with white if you want.

Message: I have had mixed results, but that is because I don't know it very well... But so far, I really like the opening. it has a lot of possibilities, especially against opponents who don't know it very well :)
I just sent you a challenge as White. Maybe you can challenge me back so I can play Black against you too?

Chess news:
Sochi 2010 looking to overcome lack of recognition for chess in Russia -- Russia stages the world's strongest national team chess championship, yet it receives little publicity. This is partly due to a slow website, and also because most of the team names are non‑geographical. For several years, however, Tomsk were the team to beat. The Siberians, though, were out of contention at halfway in this week's 2010 contest in Sochi, where Moscow and St Petersburg squads vied for the lead. Both front-runners fielded six-player 2700-rated teams, a level which would outclass the best sextet from the UK. The Russian nucleus was boosted by grandmasters from the old USSR, China, and even the odd Westerner. Thus Scotland's Keti Arakhamia-Grant, a former ...
American Grandmaster Makes a Stand in Philadelphia -- Most of the top chess players are European, and most of the top chess tournaments are in Europe. So it is not surprising that there are few spots in those competitions for non-Europeans. For many years, if an American chess player was included in an elite event, the invitation went to Gata Kamsky.

Nakamura, at age 22, is 13 years younger than Kamsky, and he plays an exciting chess that is popular with fans. So Nakamura now seems to be claiming most of the choice tournament spots. Nakamura competed in ...
A tribute to Vassily Smyslov -- Vassily Smyslov, the seventh world chess champion, died of heart failure in Moscow on March 27, three days after his 89th birthday. He was one of the greatest stars when the Soviet Union dominated chess. Smyslov enjoyed a long chess career, stretching from his days as a teenage master to occasional appearances in his late 70s. But he will be remembered most for his successes in the 1950s. He won two Candidates tournaments, in 1953 (probably his greatest tournament performance) and 1956, to earn the right to challenge world chess champion Mikhail Botvinnik. Their 1954 match ended in a 12-12 tie. Smyslov defeated Botvinnik ...
