Sometimes the marriages are between chess players of different nationalities, but once they marry and settle down, they often play in the championships of the same country — competing for the men’s and women’s titles. Under such circumstances, it is possible that a husband-wife team might win the national chess championships in the same year — becoming a country’s unofficial chess royalty. It happened in 2008 when Bartosz and Monika Socko swept the Polish chess championships, and in 1994 when ...

Yet even after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Russia remained the world’s leading chess country. Its strength might be a vestige of the Communist-led system, or of the country’s historical affinity for the game. If there is one nation that seems able to displace Russia, it is China, which created its own state-run chess-training program about two decades ago. China has already narrowed the gap, finishing ahead of Russia in some team competitions and producing several women’s world chess champions. One measuring stick of ... Posted by tim_b | uskidscompute.com 4/21/2008 08:17:02 Play online chess Message: ——— Chess still struggling to capture imagination of the masses in China — China is a unique phenomenon in world chess. The team only began to compete in around 1970 but within 30 years was a serious contender at men's level and No1 in women's chess. Yet the national game remains Chinese chess and the global version has little public support. The secret has been well-directed government backing to identify young talent and provide intensive coaching. China will be going for medals again at next month's world team Olympiad in Russia, although the home squad will be heavy favourites. China has also created its own elite chess tournament at Nanjing, where the top two finishers qualify for a Grand Slam final against world chess champion Vishy Anand and world No1 ...

White should probably play "main" variation: 6.d4, Qe7; 7.0-0, Nf6; 8.Nbd2, 0-0; 9.Bd3 with some advantage. In any case the move is good enough for Black players that fear White's preparation (no need to learn a lot of theory and White's advantage is small). I have never seen it played since obviously only White players buy books on the Evans and it does look too dangerous to improvise with 5...Bd6 :) ——— Rising Chess Stars Open up a Lead at NH Tournament — The saying that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link is also true for chess teams. Unfortunately for the older team at the annual NH Tournament in the Netherlands, it seems to have three weak links right now. After seven rounds, the rising stars lead the experience team 19 to 16. The top chess player for the experience team, Boris Gelfand of Israel, is actually playing very well. He has scored 5 points — the most in the competition. Peter Svidler of Russia is playing beneath his ability, but he still has 3.5 points. But the other three experience members — Peter Heine Nielsen of Denmark, Loek Van Wely of the Netherlands and Ljubomir Ljubojevic of Serbia — each have only 2.5 points. That is ...

Bd6Message: ——— Two Win Diminished Chess Crowns — Boris Spassky, the future world chess champion, was once world junior champion. So were Anatoly Karpov, Garry Kasparov and Viswanathan Anand, the current world chess champion. It used to be that the world junior championship was an important stepping stone for chess players who had dreams of becoming the best in the world. No longer. While the junior championship, which is open to participants 20 years old or younger, still draws talented chess players, the best of them usually skip the event because they are already among the world’s elite. Among those who were eligible to play this year, but did not, are Magnus Carlsen of Norway, No. 1 in the world; Sergey Karjakin of ...
