Some of us are overfilled. :-] Let's get some points out of this. ——— Asia Games Recognize Chess as a Sport — The idea that chess is a sport seems to be gaining wider acceptance. Studies of chess players during competitions have found that their heart and respiration rates become elevated. Top chess players say they exercise regularly to keep in shape because they feel they cannot play their best otherwise. And there is anecdotal evidence to support them. Five years ago, Vladimir Kramnik, a Russian grandmaster who was then world chess champion, began to falter in tournaments. Doctors diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis, and he began receiving treatments and stopped playing for six months. Once the arthritis was brought under control, Kramnik returned to competition, and his results improved. In 2006, chess was ... |

But he also had a substantial record as a chess player and won the United States Championship five times. He was never the country’s top player. He was overshadowed when he was younger by Samuel Reshevsky (against whom he had a large negative score), then by Bobby Fischer and finally by a whole new generation, led by Yasser Seirawan and Larry Christiansen. Dr. Anthony Saidy, an international master who knew Evans well, said that growing up in the United States probably handicapped Evans in terms of his chess ... |

Actually, he’s have a pretty good year. Aronian, an Armenian chess grandmaster, who has recently risen to No. 3 in the world (along the way becoming only the sixth player to crack the 2,800 rating level), won the World Blitz Championship in Moscow on Thursday. The victory followed his tie for first in the Tal Memorial, which ended Sunday, and his recent stellar performances at the European Club Cup, where he scored 4.5 out of 6 points, and the Chess Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia, in which he scored 7.5 out of 10.

Supporting Chess Development. Question: Some readers say the Committee for Assistance to Chess Developing Countries has done little or nothing to assist some countries or regions where there is little money and few skilled players.

Question: Title matches and candidates events have been delayed, postponed and moved multiple times in the last few years because of organizational confusion. How do you plan to fix these problems? I must correct you: After we shifted to the match system for the world champion title, it was played in accordance with the approved FIDE schedule.

He told me that his 4 team games might go timeout unless I can do something about it. :-/ He has 6 days left on his postponements but he will not be back until 5/28. Seems 1+1=6.5 I wrote him and suggested that he go to an internet cafe and try to make moves so his 4 games do not timeout. Good thing he has just 4 team games.

Whether it be bright or not is up to you. Completing college is a great start and never let anybody or anyone shed any darkness or negativity on any of your dreams or accomplishments. I have told the same to both my kids. They are on their own now and doing quite well. I have told Rob that his studies come first and chess maybe 10th or lower yet. I hope you will continue to play for the team for a long time to come and yes, maybe now you will have more time for chess or anything else you enjoy doing. Take care and good luck!! |

A player named rubicox states that you missed a win in one of our games that ended in a draw. I posted some analysis showing that you did not miss a win and I also supplied analysis showing how his proposed winning move would have actually lost. Since you were the other player in this game, I would appreciate it if you add your point of view on this. Doris |

Marko656 is still in Brazil. I tried to help him by contacting Mike but do not know if that will be enough to keep him from going timeout in his 4 team games.

Not that I think going time out is good and cannot be prevented but we have to swallow a few some times. Sounds strange coming from me!! :-] |
