  • The Master Game: Short – Hecht

    chessimprover.com | 24/11/2011 00:00:20 | Reads: 70
    Nice to see a more mature Grandmaster playing something as frisky as the Schliemann. I had a liking for this defence in my teenage years and researched it extensively in my book Gambiteer II. It’s actually very interesting and I don’t know how White can get any advantage.
  • Ivanchuk beats Nakamura to make it 5 leaders of Tal Memorial after 7 rounds - 7

    Vassily Ivanchuk won the only decisive game 7th Round of the Tal Memorial when he beat Hikaru Nakamura whose strange opening idea left him with a very difficult position to play. It all seemed a bit of a self-inflicted defeat on Nakamura's part. Peter Svidler put the squeeze on Ian Nepomniachtchi who seemed to speed his way from a level position to trouble before he put the breaks on and held the...
  • The Daily Update: Hou Yifan About To Clinch Title Match, Five Lead In Moscow

    www.thechessmind.net | 23/11/2011 20:53:49 | Reads: 65
    By defeating Humpy Koneru with the white pieces in game 7 of their women's world chess championship match, Hou Yifan has moved to the verge of retaining her title. She leads the 10-game match 5-2, and needs just half a point from the last three games to win the match. My impression was that Koneru was unsure if she should play for a draw, which was probably the appropriate reaction from her...
  • Hou Yifan virtually home in her defence of Women's World Title against Koneru - 7

    chess.co.uk | 23/11/2011 20:30:00 | Reads: 67
    Hou Yifan took a practically decisive 5-2 lead against Humpy Koneru and now only needs a draw to retain her World Chess Championship title. In game 7 she again outclassed Koneru in the middle-game eventually forcing the win of a pawn which turned out to be decisive. Better and tougher preparation earlier in the year, huge backing from the Chinese Chess Federation, a huge plus score against...

    Σαφώς πιο ενδιαφέρουσες οι σημερινές παρτίδες - με την μόνιμη εξαίρεση της παρτίδας του Anand βέβαια. Ο Vassily Ivanchuk έφτασε και αυτός το +1 αφού σήμερα στη μοναδική παρτίδα που δεν έληξε ισόπαλη, κέρδισε τον Nakamura με τα μαύρα ...
