And the World Open, which is held every year in the Philadelphia area around Independence Day, usually has more than 1,000 chess players between all its sections. But for sheer quality of competition, the annual Aeroflot Open, which starts on Tuesday, trumps them all. Sponsored by the Russian airline, the chess tournament is divided in three sections. The A group usually features many of the world’s top chess players, and this year is no different. Twenty-six of the world’s top 100 players are competing, and 73 of the 87 players in the top section are ...

It just feels like one of those openings one could spend a lifetime playing and studying and never lose interest :) ——— Chess: The calculations of Vishy Anand — The Indian grandmaster is back on top of the world – and matches such as this demonstrate why. Over the next few weeks we are going to be looking at games by the world chess champion Vishy Anand. He recently regained the no 1 spot on the rating list, so this seems a fitting moment to feature his play. His depth and speed of calculation marked him out as a special talent in his youth, and he has lost none of that sharpness in his maturity. RB: What is the white knight doing on g5? This was the first thing to strike me when Dan sent me this position. Has it just captured a piece? Has it been trapped? Has there been a whole series of ...

Cheers, Ion ——— A Victory to Remember for a Young American — Until a week ago, the short list of the greatest American tournament victories was limited to Hastings in 1895, Cambridge Springs in 1904, AVRO in 1938 and Palma de Mallorca in 1970. This year’s Tata Steel tournament in the Netherlands is now on that list. When it was over, Hikaru Nakamura had finished ahead of the top four chess players in the world, including the world chess champion, Viswanathan Anand. Garry Kasparov, the former world chess champion, said it was the most impressive victory by an American since 1895, when Harry Nelson Pillsbury, who was 22 and virtually unknown, finished first at the tournament in Hastings, England, in a field that included Emanuel Lasker, ...

Scores were Nakamura 9/13, Vishy Anand 8.5, Levon Aronian and Magnus Carlsen 8. Nakamura, 23, born in Japan but a New Yorker since childhood, has surged in the last two years from a top 100 player who dabbled in odd openings and specialised in one-minute bullet chess into a realistic contender for Vishy Anand's global title. Carlsen, 20, is still ahead of him yet the Norwegian's Wijk performance was spotty, some fine wins mixed with two ...

Message: Anyone been to it? ——— Short Allows Ivanchuk to Overtake Him at Gibraltar — Open chess tournaments are often sprints to the finish. Give up a draw, or lose a game, and first place may be out of reach. That is what happened to Nigel Short of England at the Tradewise Gibraltar Masters, which ended on Thursday. Short won eight games in the 10-round tournament, but he lost in Round 6 to Vassily Ivanchuk of Ukraine and drew a game a round later. The loss was crucial, and Ivanchuk won the chess tournament, edging out Short, 9 to 8.5. Ivanchuk, the top seed, did not coast after defeating Short. He won his last three games, including a smooth effort in the last round against Daniel Fridman of Germany. Short also won his last three games, including a victory over ...

Message: adventurously innovative & into new ideas that can be really far out ...but they generally work out, tho maybe walking a fine line. Perhaps its just that on one else understands or expects them~? For eg getting hit with an Albin Counter-gambit. But really looking back, even Max Euwe, despite his win against it, can't say it didnt give him a thinking game. Thanks bogg, I'll have to look at some of those Moro's!
