If any of you hardened GK players come across little Kateryna Lahno on the Internet or in OTB play, go easy on her cos she is only 13 years old and it's cruel to crush young kids at Chess. Well, O.K. maybe you don't have to go too easy on her cos she is fairly well able to look after herself on the chess board, considering as how she has beaten five male GM's, got a draw of Korchnoi when she was only 11 and became the worlds youngest ever female GM at the age of twelve. She now has an ELO of 2417 and her rating is zooming ever upwards...... Now......where did I leave my pet spider ? ;0) www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=978 Kind regards, Cal |

He finished two points ahead of his nearest competitor, Ivan Sokolov, in the 10-player field. At 17, Giri is now a two-time Dutch chess champion, and he is ranked No. 40 in the world. In other chess tournament news: The Commonwealth Championship, which has been held semi-regularly since 1983, is an odd totem of Britain’s vanished empire. It has usually been played in India, but the most recent chess event was held in late June and early July in South Africa to coincide with the South African Open. In the 2004 chess tournament, the former ... |

I hope these two don't get burned out before they reach their ultimate potential? Is that a wedding photo ten years early, both as world champions!? ——— Dearth of UK chess tournaments forcing British grandmasters to look overseas — English grandmasters had a memorable few days last weekend, sharing first prizes in the US and South Africa. Such long journeys have become a professional necessity. Apart from the British Chess Championship and the London Classic, there is currently a dearth of major UK chess tournaments, so our best GMs have perforce to be globetrotters. They make a good job of it. England No1 Michael Adams is ranked world No21 but is now rarely invited to elite chess events, so he has made his own niche in strong opens. Adams scored an unbeaten 7/9 in sharing first with US chess champion Gata Kamsky in the World Open at Philadelphia. Kamsky won a speed tie-break, but the pair shared ... |
