Viswanathan Anand is still the official world chess champion, but Carlsen continues to be ranked No. 1, according to the statistical rating system used by the World Chess Federation. Carlsen’s winning score of five victories, four draws and a loss sufficed against a field that was weaker than usual, although veteran grandmasters Alexander Morozevich (second place) and Alexei Shirov (fourth) are still dangerous world-class chess players. On his blog, Carlsen admitted that his play was a bit below par. “I made too many ... |

The 2011 World Junior Chess Championship, held in Chennai, India from Aug. 1-15, has finally come to a close and, believe it or not, I'm really looking forward to returning to St. Louis and the good old U.S. of A. My globetrotting trek first brought me to Toronto for an exhibition, then to China as a coach of the U.S. team at the World Team Chess Championship (we finished a credible 4th with Russia and Hungary). My next stop was India for the World Junior Chess Championship. Why was I at the World Junior, you ask? Did they create a special new section for chess players age 42 and under? Unfortunately, the answer is no. But I was asked once again to ... |

Message: ...was a win in 94 moves vs. jenpog. ——— Chess: finding space in a tight corner — Ulf Andersson demonstrates skill and strong nerves to buttress his position. More from the maestro of positional chess Ulf Andersson. Can you think of a plan for White? RB: Last week I was tearing my hair out because there were so few pieces on the chess board and said this made it even more difficult to find the correct continuation – one small step in the wrong direction spelt doom. Here, all the pieces are on the chess board and I want to use the exact same excuse. In this kind of closed position I'm seeking to gain space, improve the position of my pieces, or create a structural weakness in my opponent's position – and preferably all three together. The hole at e5 is the obvious candidate for ... |

This traditional event, won in 1957 by chess legend Bobby Fischer, has finally regained its spot as one of the top open events in America. Lately this chess event has been overshadowed by the magnum World Open, which is held in Philadelphia each year. This year, however, the 112th U.S. Open had a field full of chess stars that made it comparable in strength to any event in the world. As most major American tournaments, the U.S. Open consists of different schedules in which the players can enter, with a big merger between the groups somewhere along the road. In most of these chess events, the top players prefer ... |
| Posted by chilliman uskidscompute.com 2/17/2005 02:33:08 Play online chess | I had a win Message: in 95 moves and I don't want to do that again. ——— Two Americans Abroad, With Vastly Different Results — Two of America’s best chess players recently returned from trips abroad after having very different results in international chess competitions. Hikaru Nakamura, the country’s top chess player, has had a bit of a lost summer. In June, he tied for third in the King’s Chess Tournament in Romania, but he was well behind Magnus Carlsen and Sergey Karjakin, who tied for first, with Carlsen declared the winner on tie-breakers. Last month, Nakamura finished next to last in the Sparkassen Chess Meeting in Dortmund, Germany. Perhaps feeling disappointed by those performances, Nakamura entered the United States Open in Florida, which ended last Sunday. Earlier this year, he said he would avoid such chess competitions because ... |
