  • Live Top List Updated Already

    In the early days of the Live Top List, Hans Arild Runde would update it daily. For a while now that hasn't been the case, but it's great to see that today's Bilbao games have already been factored in for a very timely update. Here's the news: Carlsen is still #1, but he's down from 2810 to 2805.1. Anand's draw has pushed him below 2800 for the moment, to 2799.3, and Kramnik is on the verge of...

  • Bilbao, Round 1: Kramnik Beats Carlsen; Shirov-Anand Drawn

    www.thechessmind.net | 09/10/2010 11:56:55 | Reads: 106
    Vladimir Kramnik jumped to the early lead in Bilbao with a positional masterpiece against Magnus Carlsen. With White in a Queen's Indian (no Catalan for a change, thank goodness), Kramnik obtained a space advantage and some prospects based on a knight vs. bad bishop imbalance. Carlsen's position was unpleasant but tenable, but the young fashion model didn't want to sit passively and lashed out...

  • Bilbao is Super

    Just. No. Time. This new book project is going kill me where the Karpov campaign failed. Argh. Anand, Carlsen, Kramnik, Shirov. Should be playing a proper four laps but in this downsized era we have to settle for just six rounds. Official site. ChessBase preview. I don't think Anand has won a classical tournament since Linares/Morelia 2008, but he's won two world championship matches since then...

  • This Week's ChessVideos Show: Viewer Games & Questions

    It's a pretty diverse collection of games and positions this time around: there are opening questions about the Grünfeld and Ruy, and games involving pawn breaks, big but vulnerable centers, completely open centers, and a bishop vs. pawn ending. There's no thematic unity whatsoever, but you're bound to find something of interest! The show can be viewed here and can be watched free (free...

    Latvian GM and correspondence GM Janis Klovans died a couple of days ago, on Tuesday. He's not as well known as some of his countrymen (most obviously his great contemporary Mikhail Tal), but he was a very impressive figure in his own right, winning the Latvian Championship 9 times and the World Senior Championship three times, for starters. His list of scalps includes players like Tal (more than...
