"Sure, the situation of the European Individual Women Chess Championship will be discussed in the FIDE Presidential Board. First of all, I do not think that the whole board of the ECU agrees with this decision. Our bid is there. We told them that our bid is valid. You have read my open letter."

Το πιο δυνατό τακτικό όπλο που μπορεί να κατέχει ένας σκακιστής είναι το σαχ! Δίνοντας σαχ στον αντίπαλό μας, τον υποχρεώνουμε να κάνει κάτι γι’ αυτό. Καμία άλλη κίνηση στο σκάκι δεν είναι τόσο υποχρεωτική, άρα το σαχ...

Free is good. It's a Chess Assistant product, combining the GM Khalifman and IM Soloviev (more the latter than the former, I'd guess) annotations from the Chess Stars volumes on Mikhail Botvinnik (all the games of his career are given with Informant-style annotations (i.e. all symbols, no text) with about 350 training positions to boot.
A tip on finding things in that interface, which is foreign...

With one round to go, Vassily Ivanchuk and Nigel Short have broken away from the field in Gibraltar. Ivanchuk beat Caruana - with Black, no less - while Short defeated Mikhalevski, and now "Chuky" has 8 while Short has 7.5. The nearest pursuers have 6.5 points, so Ivanchuk is guaranteed clear second at worst. He'll have White vs. Fridman in the last round while Short has Black against Bologan, so...

I'm tired of all these m***erf***ing mates on this m***erf***ing train! Those were not the words of world champion Vishy Anand when he played a fun set of blitz games against former world champ Anatoly Karpov. The games on the train in Spain went mostly down the drain, in fact. Two clean draws in the pair of blitz games. The supposed official site doesn't have anything on the event, but the...

The 12th and 15th world champions played a pair of exhibition games, and as a happy surprise for fans of Anatoly Karpov, he drew both and if anything had slightly the better of things. (That said, even if Anand was playing seriously, I don't think he was using anything real in the opening.) You can read about the event, see the games, and hear (or try to hear) a long interview with Karpov, here.

Vassily Ivanchuk won again this time against Michael Roiz. The position Roiz resigned in may not even be lost although optically it looks awful. Nigel Short continued his winning ways beating Geetha Narayanan Gopal and he meets Victor Mikhalevski who beat Alexander Onischuk. Ivanchuk plays Caruana. Report by Stewart Reuben.
