Chess news: Despite a New Top Player, an Old Champ Is a Winner -- Like some professional sports, chess seems to be in a state of parity. It has not always been this way. Bobby Fischer’s decisive victory over Boris Spassky in the 1972 world chess championship match confirmed what many people assumed: that he had long been the best chess player in the world. After Anatoly Karpov became champion in 1975, some questioned his worthiness because Fischer had not defended the title. But, over the next decade, Karpov proved himself by regularly beating his rivals and winning almost every chess match and tournament he played. Karpov’s successor, Garry Kasparov, was even better. After winning the title in 1985, Kasparov ... Kramnik's best game -- For the last several years, Vladimir Kramnik tried to make sure he did not lose games. It was a perfect style for the world chess championship matches and for his duels against chess computers, but it was not good enough to win major tournaments. After playing listlessly and losing the match for the world title to Anand last year, Kramnik decided to play more sharply. It paid big dividends. In July, Kramnik won in Dortmund, Germany, and this month, he was victorious at the Tal Memorial in Moscow. He finished ahead of Carlsen in both chess events. Their rivalry will continue next month in London. Kramnik considered the Grunfeld Indian duel against his countryman Peter Svidler ...

What else? Oh,yes. 1... Qg3. This is very bad. The only thing White could do then is 2 Qxf3, but 2...Rxf3 3 gxf3?? Qxh3 is mate. OK, we need to stop the black queen getting to g3. Is it bonkers to take with the queen? 1 Qxf3 Rxf3 2 gxf3 and White has two rooks for the queen, which is not terrible. Let's try consider ... | |
