In games 1 and 2 of the world championship match between Viswanathan Anand and his challenger Magnus Carlsen, the players were warming up.

Just as in game 5, small concessions and errors by the champion allowed...

A question that’s never asked is whether you can improve too much, probably because most people have trouble improving at all. Actually it’s quite an interesting and relevant one as players who get over 2200, especially titled players, have difficulty finding suitable opposition. This is quite natural because players with this sort of rating tend […]

Ναι λοιπόν ο Κάρλσεν κατάφερε να σκοράρει πρώτος και οδηγεί την κούρσα με 3-2. Ακόμη δεν έχουμε φτάσει ούτε στο μισό του ματς, έτσι τίποτα δεν έχει κριθεί. Τα εύσημα αξίζουν και στους δύο παίχτες μιας και παρακολουθούμε...

And now the match is truly afoot. After draws in the first four games, Magnus Carlsen drew first blood, gradually outplaying Viswanathan Anand in a superior rook ending until the champion fatally faltered. The opening was a practical success for Carlsen, giving him the sort of scenario in which he has no peer: a risk-free position with a slight technical plus. On this occasion, he was initially...

The sexiest catwalk on earth vs Anand - Carlsen match

If you thought chess was not a spectator sport, think again. If the numbers generated during the ongoing World Championship final are anything to go by, the game has caught the imagination of people. As many as 80 million viewers watched the highlights of the third round of the final between Viswanathan Anand and Magnus [...]
