Chess Notes — And now for some unconventional chess. This game is Panchanathan v. Sadorra, played in the University of Texas-Dallas International, a Scheveningen tourney in which teams play each other and register both individual and team results. But who are these chess players, relative unknowns suddenly in the spotlight? Magesh Panchanathan, playing White in this game, is a 21-year-old Indian student at UTD who recently tied for first in the Philadelphia World Open and won norms sufficient to give him grandmaster status. His opponent, Julio Sadorra, is a Philippine who became a GM by virtue of his unusual wins in this chess contest. The game is from the fourth round in which Sadorra shows ...

Armenia makes chess compulsory in schools — Armenia is to make chess a compulsory subject in primary schools in an attempt to turn itself into a global force in the game, the education ministry said on Friday. "Teaching chess in schools will create a solid basis for the country to become a chess superpower," an official at the ministry, Arman Aivazian, told AFP. The authorities led by President Serzh Sarkisian, an enthusiastic supporter of the game of chess, have committed around $1.5 million (one million euros) to the scheme -- a large sum in the impoverished but chess-mad country. Children from the age of six will learn chess as a separate subject on the curriculum for two hours a week. Aivazian said ...

Paranoia served Fischer well on chess board — Bobby Fischer was characteristically defensive and even conspiratorial. His anti-Semitic theories, for one, were off-the-wall. But his fears weren't always so patently without merit, as when he claimed that the "Russians" had tried to rig a chess tournament against him by accepting quick and easy draws against one another. His dread of journalists was motivated by grievous experiences at the hands of a sensationalistic press. His quirky, outspoken manner made him an easy, if not appetizing, target. Fischer clearly was aware of the issue of paranoia. During an appearance on Dick Cavett's talk show in 1971, Fischer looked over his shoulder and declared humorously: "The paranoids are ...

For World Chess Champion, Two Uncommon Losses — Except for the world’s top chess players, few people ever have the chance to play a world chess champion. The exceptions are simultaneous exhibitions, where the champion will play 20 or 30 people at a time. Even then, though the champion has a bit of a handicap, it is a potentially intimidating experience. Garry Kasparov, the former world chess champion, who continues to give simuls, is so competitive that he hates to even yield a draw. Since he became world chess champion in 1985 and retired in 2005, he has rarely lost. Viswanathan Anand of India, the current titleholder, does not have Kasparov’s fire, but he would not be champion if he were not exceptionally competitive. It must have been a bit of ...

Luke McShane tangles with The Spider at summit of British chess — Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky, then Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov, have been famous enduring rivalries at the summit of world chess, and the English game acquired its own version when Michael Adams and Nigel Short contested the UK No1 spot for most of the 1990s. Short was ahead when he challenged for Kasparov's world title in 1993, then later Adams narrowly beat Short in the 1997 world semi-final. The pair remained England's two best chess grandmasters for a further decade, with Adams ranked higher, though most of their individual meetings were drawn. Now Short is a chess veteran at 45 and Luke McShane is the new contender. Adams is rated around 2720, world ...
