The Scotch Opening, part 3: the Kasparov approach — The former world champion was responsible for a revival of interest in the chess opening. But how does he exploit it here? More on the Scotch. Garry Kasparov was responsible for its revival. Here he finds his e-pawn under pressure. What should he play? RB There are so many possibilities that I'm going to have to go through a process of elimination. We can discard the obvious hara-kiri options of 1 cxd5 and 1 exf6 Qb4+. Nor does 1 f4 fxe5 2 fxe5 Qg5 look particularly appealing. 1 Bg2 looks like it just loses a pawn and gives Black all the play after 1...fxe5 2 0-0, and 1 e6 is just bad. Nor do 1 Nd2, 1 Kd1 and 1 Ba3 solve the problem. That leaves ...

Beyond that, do a google search as there are tons of archived games in .pgn and chessbase format uploaded on the web.

Russia return to form after slump — Russia, with a new-look young chess team, recovered from an early setback against Greece and won the World Team Chess Championship at Bursa, Turkey. The result eases the pressure on Moscow chess officials whose once invincible squad failed to justify top seeding in the last three Olympiads. The United States, without their No2, Gata Kamsky, took silver and India, missing the world chess champion, Vishy Anand, won bronze, both fine performaces. But the show stealer was this week's spectacular brilliancy, which helped the 22-year-old US chess champion to the individual top board gold medal. Boris Gelfand had planned the sharp opening and ...

Magnus and Hikaru -- the Ali-Frazier of Chess? — ... But I can't tell you I've ever been more excited about a game than one that lasted five-and-a-half hours Thursday and ended in a tie. The sport was chess. If in everyday conversation you throw around terms like "zugzwang'' and "pawn island,'' you would have found the 59-move contest riveting. But even if you don't, the storyline was irresistable. Playing the white pieces was Hikaru Nakamura, the reigning U.S. chess champion and at 22, perhaps America's best hope for capturing the world title. On the other side of the chess board was Magnus Carlsen, the 19-year-old Norwegian phenom who is now the top rated chess player in the world. Both are brilliant grandmasters on the rise. Each ...

There are no comments, but it's very up-to-date, albeit some low quality games, but it has some cool features like position search and elo for both players.

Playing poker in a game of chess — Hikaru Nakamura began the New Year by leading the United States to a silver medal at the chess World Team Championship. On the heels of that success, Nakamura continued his impressive play in Wijk ann Zee, Netherlands, which annually hosts the world’s most prestigious annual chess tournament. Nakamura won two of his first four games and drew the world chess champion Vishy Anand. The tournament concludes on Jan. 31. Nakamura has adopted an extremely bold style. At key attacking points Nakamura looks to sacrifices a piece. The sacrifice opens up lines and facilitates an attack on the king. Objectively, it may not be the best move, but ...

The Scotch Opening, part 2: how to cope with a masochist — Black has made an incredibly aggressive move with his queen. What does White do? We continue our survey of the Scotch chess opening (which arises after 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 exd4 4 Nxd4) with a move that was the height of fashion in the 19th century. RB On my shelves is a book on the 4...Qh4 variation of the Scotch. I wish I'd actually opened it because these early queen sorties never fail to unnerve me. I'm sure this is partly because when we first try our hand at chess we immediately reach for the queen. Then, as we grow more practised, we learn to delay her deployment until we've developed the minor pieces and got the king to safety. So this kind ...
