Message: .....I just got ChessBase several months ago (from a generous gift-giver) and like it but still working at learning it. Just not enough time, but hope to do more with that in the next couple months. .....The one I started with was called KnightStalker, which I liked a lot for the simplicity of it. So it was great to start with. Of course C/B can do so much more. I would offer you my K/S to try but it is in the 386 with the broken disc-drive. And the original disc is gone. (I think maybe B*** did it ! :) ——— America Has a New Chess Grandmaster and Three New International Masters — United States chess has rarely, if ever, had a week like the one that ended Saturday. On Saturday, four Americans earned titles at the Berkeley International chess tournament. Samuel Shankland, 19, the reigning United States Junior Champion, became a grandmaster, while Keaton Kiewra, 23, Daniel Naroditsky, 15, and Conrad Holt, 17, all qualified as international masters. Kiewra actually earned a grandmaster norm — the first of three needed for the title — but he still must raise his international rating above 2,400 to satisfy the requirements for the international master title. That is often less difficult than achieving the norms. Tatev Abrahamyan, 22 (she will be 23 on Thursday), earned ...

So long. migchess20 ——— China Rises, and Checkmates — If there’s a human face on Rising China, it belongs not to some Politburo chief, not to an Internet tycoon, but to a quiet, mild-mannered teenage girl named Hou Yifan. Ms. Hou (whose name is pronounced Ho Ee-fahn) is an astonishing phenomenon: at 16, she is the new women’s world chess champion, the youngest person, male or female, ever to win a world chess championship. And she reflects the way China — by investing heavily in education and human capital, particularly in young women — is increasingly having an outsize impact on every aspect of the world. Napoleon is famously said to have declared, “When China wakes, it will shake the world.” That is becoming ...

England's youngest chess grandmaster, David Howell, 20, won his first five games but then lost tamely to France's No1 seed, Romain Edouard, who became the sole leader. It seemed the European GMs would fight out first prize until the little-known young Indians surged to the front in the final two rounds in an impressive breakthrough. Deep Sengupta, 22, beat Edouard in what was voted the best game of the chess event and shared the £2,000 top award on 7/9 with Arghyadip Das, 25, while ...
