Message: "How to beat your dad at chess" "Chess training for budding champions" You can also buy some books by Bruce Pandolfini. He makes books for beginner to intermediate players, and his books are easy to understand. ——— California Boy, 9, Becomes Youngest U.S. Chess Master — A boy from Santa Clara, Calif., has become the youngest master in United States history, and there seems to be fewer concerns about his achievement than the previous record holder. The new master is Samuel Sevian. He set the record on Dec. 11, at the age of 9 years, 11 months and 11 days by tying for first in a small chess tournament at the Mechanics Institute in San Francisco. He broke the record held by Nicholas Nip, a San Francisco resident, by 11 days. Nip set the record in March 2008, but at the time there were some questions about how he did it. He had played chess matches against opponents who had volunteered to play him. Some masters criticized this practice. Hikaru Nakamura, ...

How old were you when you started to play? Did you read any of the books you recomended? ——— Chess Puzzles: Imagination Breeds Creativity — How do chess players create beautiful games and compositions? Do they dig deep into their memory and retrieve ideas of others or do they use their own imagination? Obviously, it is a combination of both, because what they learn and remember and what they create themselves goes hand in hand. The art of creating is remembering and imagining. Some years ago, I saw an interesting position in which only two pieces - queen and bishop - staged a successful attack on the black king. It was published in 1750 by Dominico Ercole del Rio, a lawyer from the Italian town of Modena, in his 110-page book on chess. As the title "Sopra il giuoco degli scacchi osservazioni pratiche ...

Kind regards, Cal ——— Magnus Carlsen's London Chess Classic can not conceal slump in form — Magnus Carlsen recovered from a terrible start of two defeats in three games, escaped miraculously from a lost endgame, triumphed at this week's London Chess Classic, won the €50,000 first prize, and regained the world No1 ranking. Yet arguably the 20-year-old Norwegian's play continued the form crisis which surfaced in October at the world team Olympiad. The problem is that Carlsen is a different chess player according to whether he has White or Black. With the white pieces he is sovereign and supreme, exploiting strategic advantages with the subtlety of Anatoly Karpov in his pomp, or patiently grinding and probing in level positions until his opponent cracks in time pressure. But as Black, Carlsen simply ...

Carlsen, a Norwegian grandmaster, has now won the tournament both years it has been played. All the other games in the final round were drawn, though two of them were hard fought. Carlsen finished with 13 points, using the Bilbao Scoring System, in which wins are worth 3 points and draws are 1. He had four wins, two losses and a draw. Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, and Luke McShane, an English grandmaster, tied for second and third, each with 11 points. They both won two games and drew five. If the more traditional scoring system of 1 point for a win and ...

Heading into tomorrow’s final round, Carlsen remains tied with Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, and Luke McShane of England. Carlsen has the better tie-breakers, however, so if the three should remain tied, Carlsen, the defending champion, would claim the title. Kramnik is tied for fourth with Hikaru Nakamura of the United States, Michael Adams of England is sixth, David Howell of England is seventh, and Nigel Short, ...

This system could be completely automated so that a child receives a shock proportional too how bad he or she moved. What do you think of such a system and should we seek venture capital to get it going?

My chess mates laughed at me for ages after that. I guess I took the game for granted. I was a rated played at the time and stood a good chance of doing well in the tournament. I was faced with an 8 year old who had brought his mum along. I assumed the win before I started and lost. Of course the next tournament I went too he actually won the whole thing and I discovered he was the County Champion for under 16's.
