And therefore I am in search for a team which is very active :) ——— So Holds Lead in Biel, as Negi Gets on the Board — Wesley So of the Philippines drew his Round 4 game Thursday in the Biel Chess Festival, which was enough for him to hold on to the lead. He has 3 points. Most of the other games also ended in draws, with the exception of the contest between Dmitry Andreikin of Russia and David Howell of Britain. In that game, Andreikin found a new idea in a well-known variation of the English opening. Surprised, Howell struggled and quickly fell into trouble. Andreikin’s rooks penetrated to the seventh rank, after which there was little Howell could do and he resigned after only 30 moves. Andreikin is tied for second with Fabiano Caruana of Italy and Evgeny Tomashevsky of Russia. They each have 2.5 points. Once ... |

I registered myself to a team (Austrian Team since I am also from Austria) and they accepted me. I don't know for how long I was in this team but I did not play any team match. That's why I thought, that posing here is a good idea..... ——— Two Draws and a Blunder in Dortmund — One of the eternal frustrations of chess is that a well played game can be lost with one careless move. Shakhriyar Mamedyarov of Azerbaijan, the No. 6 chess player in the world, was reminded of this on Wednesday at the elite Sparkassen Chess-Meeting in Dortmunt, Germany. In Round 6, Mamedyarov was White against Arkadij Naiditsch of Germany. Mamedyarov got a clear edge out of the opening and had his opponent under pressure for much of the game. Naiditsch defended well and the game seemed to heading for a draw when Mamedyarov blundered, taking a knight with his rook that was defended by Naiditsch’s queen. As chess blunders go, it was not exactly colossal, but ... |

Message: Global bounty hunters (my team, but I'm not captain), The Quickies - a fast players company, or New York Lovers. New York Lovers has the largest number of completed games, if that is active enough for you. I can't promise what the team captains will accept you, but I would give it a try if I were you. I'm shure there are other very active teams out there as well, I've just mentioned some of them. ——— Shankland Is US Junior Chess Champion — Samuel Shankland, an 18-year-old international master, survived a three-way playoff on Tuesday to win the United States junior chess championship. Shankland was the No. 2 seed, but he beat Ray Robson, the top seed and a chess grandmaster, in an Armageddon game to claim the title. As there were three players tied for first, there were two playoff games. Robson, by virtue of having the better tie-breaker scores, met the winner of the first game. In that one, Shankland beat Parker Zhao. The playoff involved long Armageddon games, just like the one used at the U.S. Chess Championship earlier this year. Shankland and Zhao, each chess player secretly bid on how much time, up to ... |
