Έπειτα από μια πολύ δύσκολη παρτίδα που κράτησε μια κίνηση περισσότερη από την προηγούμενη ο Γκέλφαντ και ο Ανάντ ο αγώνας έληξε ισόπαλος. Αναμφισβήτητα όλοι οι θεατές περιμένουν να δούνε κάποια πραγματική μάχη από...

There’s not much getting away from the fact that this was a very dull technical draw. The connoisseur will see Vishwanathan Anand’s defence of this line as being very adept but the man on the street will not be very impressed. It’s at times like this that I recall how staunch advocates of classical chess [...]

The World Championship has already been discussed and Sigeman & Co. had the day off (but check out the first video on the latter website for a cute practical joke), so the remaining news focuses on the U.S. Championship and the Women's Championship, along with the Capablanca Memorial in Havana. In the U.S. Championship, the big game saw the leaders square off. Hikaru Nakamura had White...
