| Posted by darrenr114 nsa-hitachi.com 1/29/2003 16:29:30 Play online chess | Game most fond of on Gameknot Message: Here's the game I'm most fond of since joining gameknot: gameknot.com/chess.pl?board #547708 ——— On Chess: World-title foes differ on workouts — In an era of 14-year-old grandmasters and Internet-nurtured chess prodigies, 43-year-old Boris Gelfand of Israel is an anomaly. After 20 years of being near the top of the chess heap, he is playing a match — his first — for the world chess championship. It will take place against the current chess champion, 41-year-old Viswanathan Anand — also one of the older set — who has played several title matches. Anand insists that a rigorous conditioning regime — including trips to the gym — is a prerequisite for success at the top level. Gelfand has a more nonchalant point of view. “It strikes me,” he recently told journalist Yuri Vasiliev, “that the basis of success is a healthy way of life. You need to ... |

Sad to say though, I have been on the wrong end of a couple of those games. ——— A Summer of Struggles Pays Dividends — Hou Yifan is the women’s world chess champion, but she is also only 17 and continues to evolve as a chess player, which should scare her rivals. Hou struggled this summer playing against mostly men. But the best way to improve is to seek out the best competition, and Hou’s trial by fire seems to be paying dividends. Last month, she dominated the first leg of the Women’s Grand Prix in Russia, a tournament that included most of the world’s best chess players. (Judit Polgar, the most skilled woman to play the game, was not there; she does not compete in women-only chess events.) Last week, Hou did it again by winning the Grand Prix’s second leg in China. Both times, she finished with ... |

Message: I just am not so fond of them ... ;-) Like this one: gameknot.com/chess.pl?board #534958 ——— New book sheds light on Magnus Carlsen's link-up with Garry Kasparov — A new Norwegian book sheds light on the mysterious episode two years ago when the all-time No1, Garry Kasparov, briefly became the chess coach of Norway's brilliant 20-year-old Magnus Carlsen, who now tops the world chess rankings. It was billed as the ultimate pairing which would elevate Carlsen to new heights, but after less than six months they went their separate ways. The journalist Hallgeir Opedal followed Carlsen for a year, much as Life magazine's Brad Darrach did with Bobby Fischer in 1972. Opedal also had direct access to Carlsen and his father/manager, Henrik. The partnership's great success came at the start in 2009 when Carlsen won in Nanjing, China, with ... |

Having fun and being number one. ——— Kings vs. Queens: Almost perfect — The Kings vs. Queens chess tournament ended in a victory for the guys, mainly due the Herculean effort of St. Louis resident Hikaru Nakamura, who scored an almost perfect 9.5 points out of 10 games. The event pitted top female chess players against strong male competition in an interesting format. Unfortunately for the Queens, female world No. 1 Judit Polgar was forced to withdraw from the tournament just days before the first round, and her absence paved the way for Hikaru to rack up some serious points. Judit was busy beating the world's best men in Khanty-Mansisk, Russia, at the World Chess Cup. The World Cup is a knockout event with many of the world's top chess players. Judit's American fans were ... |
| Posted by weezy_guy nsa-hitachi.com 3/01/2003 19:12:14 Play online chess | More stuff Message: I'm going to start posting the match-ups for new challenges here. I'm also going to post results of the games here as well. I get sent all games as a private message whenever one of you finish them. So I figure that the team should know whats going on as well. I will just post the final result win, loss or draw. This way everyone will have an idea of where the points are coming from. ——— Chess World Cup: Peter Svidler All the Way — It was the most amazing move of the 2011 Chess World Cup in Khanty Mansiysk, Russia, a wonderful coup de grâce you don't see every day. And it could have been enough to play it, go home and enjoy it for years to come. But it was not all Peter Svidler had done at the World Cup this month. The six-time chess champion of Russia easily carved through the 128-player knockout tournament and won it almost as efficiently and convincingly as Novak Djokovic did the tennis Grand Slams at Wimbledon, Melbourne and New York this year. It was Svidler's greatest result. Svidler defeated his countryman Alexander Grischuk 2.5-1.5 in the final match. Vassily Ivanchuk of Ukraine finished third, eliminating ... |
