Dec 13 2012 11:07 PM No insider information here, but from the outside, the 4th edition of the London Chess Classic seems to have been incredibly well organised. One of the things I liked about it was the decision to have and odd number of players so that every si... Read more... - The 16 female players over 2500.
Dec 13 2012 12:56 AM GM Judith Polgar is now below 2700. Judith Polgar lost 9 rating points at the London Classic tournament which Carlsen won, and unfortunately this means that her rating will go below 2700. Judith is now a mother with more obligations and her mo... Read more... - Carlsen's next stop? Wijk aan Zee (January 11 to 27)
Dec 12 2012 09:38 PM After his triumph in London, a new event appears in the Norwegian GM´s calendar in January: The 75th Tata Steel Chess Tournament: from 11 to 27 January in Wijk aan Zee. Here's the list of players: GM Carlsen, Magnus NOR GM Aronian, Le... Read more... - Carlsen crowned King of London again! but...
Dec 11 2012 06:26 AM 22 Year old Norwegian GM Magnus Carlsen has won the IV London classic (his third English title!) with a rather impressive score of 6.5 out of 8, and a performance rating of 2994 (!). This result will push Carlsen's rating to a staggeri... Read more... - Biel round 4, all games annotated!
Sep 11 2012 06:58 AM This was a really hard fought round. Bologan's creative play was "awarded" with a most undeserved defeat. Giri's opening preparation seemed rather poor and he was soon worse against Wang's convincing play. Carlsen played a Bog... Read more... - Russia wins Women's Chess Olympiad in Istanbul.

Aug 29 2012 01:13 PM I guess it isn't very nice to start a story about the Chess Olympiad with a "critical accent", but one can only describe what is currently happening in Turkey as UNACCEPTABLE. Many hours after the finish of the first round, the chess... Read more... - Biel, round 5: all games fully annotated!
Jul 31 2012 04:44 AM Wang grabbed the lead with this, his fourth win. It's kind of sad because Bologan deserved better, the draw being at his reach had he not blundered on move 35. Let's not forget that he didn't have the time that the other players did to... Read more... - Biel, round 3, all games annotated
Jul 28 2012 01:57 AM Only 2 games for this round. (as you know, morozevich withdrew and the game Bologan-Carlsen will be played on Sunday, the rest day) The 2 games are quite interesting. Nakamura played a Polugayevsky variation of the Sicilian, and at one point thin... Read more...
