| Posted by brucehum uskidscompute.com 5/14/2003 08:07:53 Play online chess | You have to be a paying member Message: You have to be paying, to start a new team. I have seen some teams where the captain is not a paying member, so I'm not sure if either he was long time ago, and has stopped paying, or the paying member captain ceded his place to the non-paying member. This could be a loop-hole, if it was the case. |

Best wishes Cairo ——— New book sheds light on Magnus Carlsen's link-up with Garry Kasparov — A new Norwegian book sheds light on the mysterious episode two years ago when the all-time No1, Garry Kasparov, briefly became the chess coach of Norway's brilliant 20-year-old Magnus Carlsen, who now tops the world chess rankings. It was billed as the ultimate pairing which would elevate Carlsen to new heights, but after less than six months they went their separate ways. The journalist Hallgeir Opedal followed Carlsen for a year, much as Life magazine's Brad Darrach did with Bobby Fischer in 1972. Opedal also had direct access to Carlsen and his father/manager, Henrik. The partnership's great success came at the start in 2009 when Carlsen won in Nanjing, China, with ... |

The event pitted top female chess players against strong male competition in an interesting format. Unfortunately for the Queens, female world No. 1 Judit Polgar was forced to withdraw from the tournament just days before the first round, and her absence paved the way for Hikaru to rack up some serious points. Judit was busy beating the world's best men in Khanty-Mansisk, Russia, at the World Chess Cup. The World Cup is a knockout event with many of the world's top chess players. Judit's American fans were ... |

And it could have been enough to play it, go home and enjoy it for years to come. But it was not all Peter Svidler had done at the World Cup this month. The six-time chess champion of Russia easily carved through the 128-player knockout tournament and won it almost as efficiently and convincingly as Novak Djokovic did the tennis Grand Slams at Wimbledon, Melbourne and New York this year. It was Svidler's greatest result. Svidler defeated his countryman Alexander Grischuk 2.5-1.5 in the final match. Vassily Ivanchuk of Ukraine finished third, eliminating ... |
