Chuck ——— Nakamura and Anand Again Separate Themselves From the Pack at Tata Steel — After a great day of fighting chess in Round 10 of the Tata Steel chess tournament in the Netherlands, Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, and Hikaru Nakamura of the United States are once again tied for the lead in the top section. Anand and Nakamura were also co-leaders after the fourth, sixth and eighth rounds. Four chess players were tied for the lead after Round 9. But on Wednesday Nakamura beat Maxime Vachier-Lagrave of France and Anand beat Alexei Shirov of Spain, while Levon Aronian of Armenia and Vladimir Kramnik of Russia respectively drew with Anish Giri and Jan Smeets, two Dutch grandmasters. Anand and Nakamura each have 7 points and ...

And I lost all my messages there and the games naturally:-( Very pity. I wrote to the admins there but didnt get any answer... What to do:-)" ——— Chess Robots By The Sea — Are chess players becoming robots by repeating moves approved at home by their computers? Can't they just use their own heads during the game? Of course they do, but at the same time even the world's top chess players have to use computers to win chess games. Not during the games - that's forbidden - but in their preparations. And they don't even have to be there. The computers can find a winning solution while the players eat at a nearby restaurant. They come home, apply the knowledge to the game, perform the moves like robot and claim victory. The times are gone when the legendary grandmaster David Bronstein would think 40 minutes before he made the first move. Now the chess ...

The world chess champion, Vishy Anand, provided us with an excellent example of defensive play – our theme over the last few weeks – in this recent game from the elite chess tournament in Wijk aan Zee. He has the advantage of rook for knight, but Kramnik's knight has just moved into b3, attacking the rook on c1. How did Anand cope? RB What's wrong with the simple 1 Rd1, getting out of harm's way and threatening 2 Rxd5 and the capture of the knight on b3? Black might play 1...Rc8, getting his rook on to an open file with tempo, but after 2 Qd3 is he any better? Let's say Black continues ...

But even the best chess players on the planet — and by that I mean computers — are not infallible. Still, when top players miscalculate badly, it can be a little comforting. (“Well, if they can do it, I don’t feel like such a patzer.”) Last week, there were a number of such moments. At the Tata Steel chess tournament in the Netherlands, Magnus Carlsen of Norway, the world’s top-ranked player, made a colossal mistake in Round 3 against Anish Giri, a 16-year-old Dutch grandmaster. Carlsen was lackadaisical in playing the opening, but, as shown in the top diagram, he was not much worse off than his opponent. He should have tried 19 c4 when ...

She also plays and coaches on ICC. ——— Nakamura Is Again Leader of Tata Steel Chess Tournament — Hikaru Nakamura is once again leader of the pack at the Tata Steel chess tournament. He won his second consecutive game on Saturday — this time against Jan Smeets of the Netherlands — while Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, played a perfunctory draw with Magnus Carlsen of Norway. Nakamura leads the top section with a stellar score of 5.5. points, while Anand has 5 and Levon Aronian of Armenia and Vladimir Kramnik of Russia each have 4.5. Carlsen is tied for fifth, with 4 points. Nakamura has won four games and drawn three, but the next two rounds will be a stiff test as he plays Anand and then Carlsen, who has been ranked No. 1 in ...
