Good luck in the tournament. ——— Chess: Magnus Carlsen snaps slump in China — Magnus Carlsen defeated three elite chess grandmasters to take the lead in the Pearl Spring double round robin in Nanjing, China. The Norwegian chess star scored 5-2 in the first seven rounds of the 10-game tournament. Carlsen had fallen to second in the world chess rankings because of poor performances in two recent events, but he has regained an estimated eight of the 24 rating points he lost. World chess champion Viswanathan Anand of India and French grandmaster Etienne Bacrot were Carlsen's closest rivals, with scores of 4-3. Bacrot upset Anand in the first cycle but lost the rematch. Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, who has not completely recovered from losing the 2010 world championship match against ...

He is generally considered to be among the top three or four in the world at blitz chess (where each player has five minutes or less for the entire game) and he also seems to be among the world’s best at rapid chess, in which each player has about 25 minutes per game. Two years ago, he won the Cap d’Agde Rapid chess tournament in France in a field that included Magnus Carlsen of Norway (now No. 1 in the world), Vassily Ivanchuk of Ukraine (who Nakamura beat in the finals) and Anatoly Karpov of Russia, the former ...

After all, he won world championships in classical matches, knockouts, rapids and blitz and dominated the advanced chess in which players are able to consult the computers. In this respect, no other world chess champion comes even close. But the Indian superstar is also a class act and gives credit where credit is due. Twice this year, Anand turned a favorite defense of his former coach, Artur Yusupov, into gold. "It was a pleasure to have Artur Yusupov working as my second, both personally and professionally," Anand writes in the preface to Yusupov's excellent book Boost your Chess 2, Beyond the Basics, published by Quality Chess. Yusupov was ...

Carlsen has 4.5 points; followed by Etienne Bacrot of France, who has 4; Anand with 3.5; Vugar Gashimov of Azerbaijan, 2.5; Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, 2; and Wang Yue of China, 1.5. Monday, Anand beat Wang, who put up little resistance. The opening was a Queen’s Indian Defense and the queens were traded rather quickly. Anand, who was Black, traded a knight for a bishop, securing the bishop pair; he also had a better pawn structure. Anand soon won a pawn and then ...

The double round robin featured four of the world's strongest chess grandmasters. The first two rounds nearly decided the tournament. Kramnik won both of his games while Magnus Carlsen of Norway lost twice. Kramnik drew his remaining four games to finish ahead of world chess champion Viswanathan Anand of India (who had one win and five draws), Carlsen (one win, two losses, three draws) and Alexey Shirov of Spain (two losses, four draws). Carlsen, ranked first in the world a month ago at 2826, has unofficially fallen to second at 2802 after poor results in the Olympiad and in Bilbao. Anand has ...

Qxf7+ = Scholar's Mate 1. f3 e5 2. g4 Qh4++ mate is the shortest mate in the history of chess. And it's called the Fool's mate . Usually , I regard that a scholar plays the Scholar's Mate and a fool plays the Fool's mate , and it is also theoreticlly proved that Fool's Mate is earliest mate (2 moves) and the earliest stalemate is in 12 moves.
