But in the last couple of years, there has been a burst of activity there, with a large number of international chess tournaments that have given players a chance to qualify for grandmaster and international master titles. Two groups are behind those chess events. One is Metropolitan Chess, which is based in Los Angeles and is run by Amanov Zhanibek, Ankit Gupta, Konstantin Kavutskiy and Alejandro Ruiz Jr. Metropolitan has held 13 invitational chess tournaments, as well as a major international tournament last August.

Each square must measure 2.25 inches on a side and be colored brown and cream. The pieces must be wooden, seamless, glareless, well-weighted and also colored brown and ...

Very easy to win against this program but for sheer unusualness I have bookmarked the game and no doubt in a quieter moment I will return to it ! ——— Anish Giri boosts world title prospects by winning elite tournament — Anish Giri, just 17 years old from the Netherlands, scored a historic result last week when he won the elite chess tournament at Reggio Emilia, Italy, to boost his credentials as a future world title contender. Only current world No 1 Magnus Carlsen at Wijk 2008 has won a top contest at a younger age. Giri's victory looked most unlikely when he was last after four of the ten rounds while the favourites, Russia's Alex Morozevich and America's Hikaru Nakamura, vied for the lead. But Moro suffered two late defeats while Naka crashed and lost his final three games. The Italian chess champion Fabiano Caruana, 19, was joint second and he and Giri are now the highest ranked teenagers on the planet. Norway's Carlsen, ...

RB: Some years ago I suggested that the Guardian approach Nigel Short, who had just parted company with the Sunday Telegraph. The Guardian, I pointed out, was the only national broadsheet without a daily chess column. Short started to write in G2, not daily, but, with Leonard Barden and a new column from Stephen Moss, chess started to appear three times a week instead of just once. After the Short and Moss contributions finished, I wrote to the then-new editor of G2 to suggest a different and – as far as I am aware – unique kind of chess column ...
