Chess news: For 2 New U.S. Chess Champions, Diverging Paths Ahead -- The two newest United States chess champions have very different future plans. On Monday, Irina Krush, 26, won the women’s chess championship for the third time, earning $16,000, her biggest payday. Krush said of her prospects of earning a living as a professional chess player, “I am actually at the stage where I am going to get into it more than ever.” Samuel Shankland, 18, who won the junior chess championship in a playoff on Tuesday, plans to quit playing professionally for the time being, and perhaps for good.

After a queen exchange there's little chance of a checkmating attack, so getting a pawn to the other side of the board has to be the ultimate aim in most endings. RB Somewhere in the recesses of my memory is a basic position similar to this one, though with three pawns rather than four facing each other, that allows the chess player with the move to create a passed pawn. So I'm going to try to drag up that position and try to use it as a starting point. Let's imagine there are no e-pawns. White would ... | |
