Message: but its inherent beauty came from a LAZY opening and HELPING defense from your opponent (RINAT). 8. a4? is a positional inexactitude! He must have played 8. e4! at once. After 9. Nd2? (9.de5!) e4... the rest is a matter of attacking technique! |

Chess news: A Trove of Fischer Photographs Surfaces -- Photographs taken during trips that Bobby Fischer made to the Philippines in 1967 and 1973, after he became world chess champion, have appeared in a group of three videos on YouTube. Descriptions of the videos say that they were part of the belongings left behind by Fischer in a storage locker in Pasadena, Calif. Those belongings were bought at auction earlier this year by Rex A.

Anna Zatonskih Defends U.S. Chess Championship Title -- The United States women’s chess champion, Anna Zatonskih, easily defended her title last week and dominated the championship tournament in St. Louis.

The victory was a relief for Zatonskih, who had struggled recently, particularly at the Women’s World Team Championship last month in China, where she scored only 2 points in 7 games. In a telephone interview, Zatonskih said she wants to have another child, but ... Magnus Carlsen raises world rating to over 2800 with Nanjing victory -- Magnus Carlsen had already won the Nanjing elite chess tournament with a round to spare at the start of this week's game, but the 18-year-old Norwegian spurned halving out and won impressively. The victory gave him a 3000 tournament performance and raised his world chess rating to over 2800, the youngest in chess history and only the fifth 2800 ever. His predecessors, with their peak ratings, were Garry Kasparov 2851, Veselin Topalov 2813, Vlad Kramnik 2811 and Vishy Anand 2803. Bobby Fischer at 2785 and Anatoly Karpov 2780 could be reckoned worth 50 points higher allowing for rating inflation. The betting now is that Carlsen will win the 2010 candidates and ... | |
