Bro... ——— 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, ...

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 ... |
