Hou Yifan beat Humpy Koneru in game 6 to take complete control of her
10 game Women's World Chess Championship match in Tirana in defence
of her title. Her preparation was disturbed by severe stomach pains
that led to her hospitalisation overnight. It seems this was the
tension of the match because she played well surviving a dangerous
opening and then exploiting some poor directionless play...

After the mad dash following the European Championships and then 4ncl, I took it fairly easy. I made my debut for Wood Green in the London League on Wednesday, defeating Tiruchirapalli Venkataraman in a long battle that went down to mutual time trouble. The team didn’t have as much trouble and we’re currently 11-0 up [...]

Εθελοντές του ισπανικού εμφυλίου παίζουν σκάκι σε ανάπαυλα των μαχών, στην περίφημη ταινία του Κεν Λόουτς «Γη και Ελευθερία» (Land and Freedom, 1995). Η ταινία είναι ένα φλάσμπακ. Ο κομμουνιστής Ντέιβιντ Καρ (Ian Hart), γέρος πια...

Thanks to her win in game 6, Hou Yifan needs just three draws in the remaining four games to retain her title. It could have been different today, as Humpy Koneru found a promising pawn sac against the Ragozin. In return she had two very strong bishops, and soon she regained the pawn while maintaining her other advantages. Unfortunately for her, she couldn't figure out what to do with her bishops...

Πρωινό Δευτέρας 21 Νοεμβρίου (AP Photo/Dita Alangkara). Δυο άνδρες δανείζονται τον αναιμικό φωτισμό της εισόδου μιας κλειστής καφετέριας για να παίξουν σκάκι σε ένα πεζοδρόμιο της Τζακάρτα (της Μπατάβια που έλεγε κι ο Καββαδίας)...

Η φωτογραφία είναι από το φίλο του σάιτ PaTsio, που ελλείψει σκάνερ την τράβηξε με το κινητό του και μου την έστειλε. Μέρες του 1987. Ποιος είναι ο γκρανμέτρ που δίνει το σιμουλτανέ και ποιους έλληνες σκακιστές μπορείτε να...

Ο Νταβίντ Αϊραπετιάν σίγουρα δεν θα δυσανασχετήσει με την εισαγωγή του σκακιού στη σχολική ύλη, καθώς ο 8χρονος Αρμένιος θεωρείται ήδη μεγάλος παίκτης. Το μόνο που μπορεί να ελπίζει είναι να βρεθεί στο σχολείο του ένας...

Following up my earlier post I came 4th= with 7.5/11. There was certainly a lot of rust which made its presence felt in the early rounds, though after a few games it wasn’t too bad. Of course to get back to my best I’d need to study and play much more. The great surprise for [...]
