  • Little Known Openings: Part 6

    chessimprover.com | 22/08/2012 23:00:15 | Reads: 67
    This final idea is similar to 2.f4 against the French, but this time you use it against the Caro-Kan. Black’s queen’s bishop isn’t shut in here but he has to lose a tempo in playing …c7-c6-c5 (an almost mandatory pawn advance). I’m not sure who this favours. One big advantage of playing a little known [...]

  • The Olympiad's Coming

    We've mentioned some of the controversies surrounding the forthcoming Chess Olympiad, to be held in Istanbul, Turkey, but hopefully the purely chess event will go off without a hitch. As always, it's a colossal event featuring practically all the world's best players (but no Anand again, sadly) as the world's chess super-powers fight for bragging rights and players of vastly differing levels from...
  • Remembering Gligoric

    I hope there will be many tributes to the great Yugoslav/Serbian grandmaster Svetozar Gligoric, who passed away last week at age of 89. He was one among the world's very best players for at least a couple of decades, and one mark of his greatness is that Garry Kasparov included a mini-chapter to him in volume three of the My Great Predecessors series. The nicest tribute I've seen so far comes...

    After browsing the WhyChess website in the context of the previous post, I noted several interviews that might be of general interest. First, there's a short one with world #2 Levon Aronian, in which, in passing, he (sort of) names Alexander Alekhine the best player of all time. ("For me he's the best.") Next up, a medium-sized interview with a player mostly unknown to those of us in the West...
