The URL is correct, but something went awry with the link. ——— Two games a day in world's most unique chess tournament — The prestigious Melody Amber Chess Tournament is the world’s most unique tournament. The participants play two chess games a day against the same opponent. One game is a “rapid” game, the other “blindfold.” In a “rapid” game, the time control is set to 25 minutes for each player, with 30 second added to each player’s time control after a move is made. In the “blindfold” game, players compete under a “rapid” time control without a chess board. They are assisted with a computer screen of a chess board with no pieces on it. From there, the rest is in the player’s head. Under these conditions both types of games are exciting and full of ... |

Message: www.angelfire.com/poetry/wulebgr/checklist.htm ——— Chess: When the King's Gambit looks suicidal — At first the situation on the chess board seemed distinctly sticky, but pleasing opportunities soon became apparent. Last week we looked at a King's Gambit played the best part of two centuries ago. This time we are right up-to-date with a game from the London Chess Classic. RB: What an utterly terrifying position. I'm terrified of …Qxh4, of …g3, of …f3 and of …Ne3. Suddenly the King's Gambit looks pretty nearly suicidal. This at least is my initial reaction. Then, when I've calmed down a bit, I see that, as usual with the King's Gambit, White has pleasant potential threats against f7 – the bishop on c4, the knight on e5, and, once the f4-pawn goes, the rook bearing down ... |

Depending on how they finished, one of them would earn the right to play Hou Yifan of China for the Women’s World Chess Championship this year. Dzagnidze had the easier path. Based on her position in the Grand Prix standings, she could win the chess tournament, finish second or hope that Koneru did not win. Koneru needed to finish first and hope that Dzagnidze did poorly. By a twist of fate, the two women played each other in the first round, and Dzagnidze won. Though Koneru rebounded to ... |

Greetings ——— On Chess: Game's hierarchy keeps shifting — Perhaps more than at any other time in its long history, chess reflects diversity in the ages and nationalities of its top players. The World Chess Federation ratings document how the role of Russian grandmasters continues to diminish. Only two - Vladimir Kramnik and Alexander Grischuk - are listed among the top 15 players. Sergey Karjakin, although a Russian resident, is a recent transplant from Ukraine. The limited Russian presence is a far cry from the past. Meanwhile, 20-year-old Norwegian chess phenom Magnus Carlsen has dropped to the second spot, replaced by the official world chess champion, Viswanathan Anand of India. American grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura has continued ... |
