Black's final (insuccessful) attempt was 20... Na6, attempting to block the mate on c7. He did, however quickly lose after Nxg7, Qf6, and Be7. What I cannot find, however, is how White breaks black after 20... Ba6. I have been looking at Nxg7+ followed by Qxf7 for white, but am stifled by Kc8 (!). Please share your thoughts and analyses. |

On three or four occasions during the 1960s, I met him by chance as he perambulated around New York. He was always friendly and eager to talk. Late-night walks often took him to chess hangouts such as the Chess and Checker Club of New York, where he would frequently take on a player of master strength, offering up to 15-1 odds to his opponent and the gathering kibitzers. He seemed to tremendously enjoy the fun and hilarity provoked by the impromptu exhibitions. A champion boxer once described to me the difficulty of keeping up with Fischer's walking tours. There seems to have been a method to his locomotion. Rae Pica, author of ... |

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 ... |
