    R. Ponomariov - A. Anand 0-1Σε μια βαριάντα της Najdorf, που οπτικά φαίνεται πολύ ευχάριστη για τον Μαύρο, ο Ponomariov με το 16.Qc4 βγήκε από τα θεωρητικά μονοπάτια. Ακολούθησε ενδιαφέρουσα στρατηγική μάχη. Ο λευκός προκάλεσε την αλλαγή των...

  • Larry Evans' Vienna 1922: A Quick Review

    www.thechessmind.net | 15/01/2011 22:50:07 | Reads: 174
    Larry Evans, Vienna 1922 (Russell Enterprises 2011). 144 pp. $19.95. Reviewed by Dennis Monokroussos. Russell Enterprises (RE) regularly republishes tournament books from classic events, two especially notable examples being New York 1924 and Nottingham 1936, both by Alexander Alekhine. Those books are justly famous and unquestionably deserved to republished, but there are other, less well-known...

  • Fantastic Start to Tata Steel Tournament - 1

    www.chess.co.uk | 15/01/2011 21:52:00 | Reads: 76
    There was a great start to the 73rd Wijk aan Zee tournament with its new sponsor of Tata Steel. World Champion Viswanathan Anand won a nice positional game against Ruslan Ponomariov where his pressure eventually cracked his opponent. Hikaru Nakamura got a near decisive advantage out of the opening against Alexander Grischuk and even a desperate piece sacrifice from the Russian didn't change...

  • Wijk aan Zee, Round 1: Wins for Anand, Nakamura and Smeets

    The tournament (by which I mean group A unless otherwise indicated) got off to a great start with three decisive games and two pretty interesting draws in the seven contests. World champion Viswanathan Anand played well against Ruslan Ponomariov, winning with Black. It would have been more convincing if he had won "properly" by catching a winning chance on move 32 rather than by taking advantage...

Arterton replaces Hollywood actress Liv Tyler, G-Star’s female model in the fall/winter campain. Carlsen is still G-Star’s male model.
