In spite of losing to the world chess champion Vishy Anand, Magnus Carlsen finished on top at the London Chess Classic with this last round victory over Nigel Short. The queens have just been exchanged but the Norwegian still managed to build up a powerful initiative. How? RB: This is a tough one. Nothing – nothing! – suggests itself. At first I wondered if a bank-rank mate was a possibility, then if there was something in a knight sacrifice on f7. But the answer is an emphatic no in both cases. Perhaps 1. Bf4 to support the nicely-posted knight on e5? But what's so good about that? 1. Nd3 with the idea of chasing ...

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, ... |
