The biggest was the elimination of Levon Aronian, who is ranked No. 3 in the world, by Alexander Grischuk (No. 12), whose recent play has been inconsistent but who prevailed in the tiebreaker games. Gata Kamsky, fresh off winning the United States title, produced another upset by beating Veselin Topalov, a former world chess champion. Topalov (No. 7) has not played much in recent months, and that hurt him. He was outplayed by Kamsky (No. 18) in Game 2, which Kamsky won, and in the last game, when Kamsky forced a draw. Boris Gelfand (No. 16), who will be 43 next month and ... Posted by ccmcacollister | kttstudios.com 6/14/2008 15:29:15 Play online chess sf115 Message: I love the Albin on both sides. It just feels like one of those openings one could spend a lifetime playing and studying and never lose interest :) ——— Bobby Fischer: from chess prodigy to pariah — He played some of the most sublime chess ever seen. Then, as a new book and film illustrate, he disappeared from view. What made such a brilliant mind go into freefall? In 1999, I spent three days sitting in a variety of thermal baths dotted around Budapest. As grand and attractive as the Hungarian capital's spas are, I wasn't stewing myself for therapeutic or leisure purposes. Instead, I was waiting for someone I'd been told frequented the baths, someone who was said to be a genius and a paranoid obsessive, the greatest chess player who ever lived and an obnoxious crackpot. I was looking for Bobby Fischer. For the last four decades of his life, that's what people ...

Cheers, Ion ——— On Chess: Computers hardly a threat to game — Some chess grandmasters have lamented that computers take the creativity out of chess, but their concern for the future of the game of chess is off the mark. An excessive use of chess computers undeniably dulls a player's mind - especially if the reliance on computer analysis leaves no room for hardscrabble human inquiry. The games of top chess players such as Levon Aronian, Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura vividly demonstrate that free-flowing, swashbuckling creative chess might thrive even more in the age of computers. It is, however, no longer possible to hide behind time-tested lines of play based on years of personal exploration and expertise. Computer analysis usually can ...

Seriously. That’s it. Because this “Queen” arrives in Washington at the start of the summer movie season, nearly two years after its initial release in France, that narrative simplicity has a certain appeal. At a time when most pictures are all CGI’d up and Imaxed out, there’s something particularly enjoyable about settling into a film whose pleasures reside in quiet moments, understated performances and the reading of subtitles. “Queen to Play,” originally titled “Joueuse” in French, or “Player,” introduces us to ...

Message: Anyone been to it? ——— Vishy Anand able to smile after world title candidates take shape — Vishy Anand can smile. The chess champion's hopes of retaining his crown in 2012 were already boosted when the world No2 Magnus Carlsen withdrew as a candidate. Now the world No3 and favourite Levon Aronian is also out after his tense and nervous play led to missed chances and a 3.5-4.5 loss to Russia's Alex Grischuk. Anand has good form against all four semi-finalists. Gata Kamsky (US), Boris Gelfand (Israel) and Vlad Kramnik (Russia) are from the Indian's 40ish generation, while Grischuk splits his time between chess and poker. Cautious waiting tactics ruled for most of Kramnik's match with the 23-year-old Azeri Teimour Radjabov, as they drew four classical chess games and four rapid. The ninth ...

Message: adventurously innovative & into new ideas that can be really far out ...but they generally work out, tho maybe walking a fine line. Perhaps its just that on one else understands or expects them~? For eg getting hit with an Albin Counter-gambit. But really looking back, even Max Euwe, despite his win against it, can't say it didnt give him a thinking game. Thanks bogg, I'll have to look at some of those Moro's!
