Paul Morphy ... — Apparently there has been differing info out there about Morphy. I recall dimly reading a CHESS LIFE article a couple decades ago, and a hodge-podge of articles or book sections/mentions over time (probably before that, mostly). I do recall seeing one somewhere after that where it showed his g, play online chess ...

Help ! (with openings) — I’m trying to learn something about opening theory.

Simplification — 'Simplification' this is something I do a lot these days, the process of trying to win, even by the smallest of margins because I know what I need to secure the mate.

Vukovic - The Art of the Attack in Chess — In my last OTB tournament game at my local chess club, I was paired against a much stronger player. I was White, playing the Closed Sicilian and had a bit of kingside pressure. I botched the attack and went down in flames.

Interesting. — Playing OTB. Opening comes as 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 at this point white accidentally touches his king, forcing Ke2 giving black a mate on e4. Quite shattering if you ask me!

How to improve — I'm pretty new here. I've only finished 39 games. I'm returning to the game after not playing for a while--ten or fifteen years, I guess.

Pieces score in endgames. — I watched many endgames in which a player who has only a Rook doesn't win against another player who has only a bishop. Searching in Internet about this fact, I've found 90% Rook vs Bishop is a draw. And I know a player who has 2 bishops (without pawns) can win against a lonely king, while 2 knights, play online chess ...

Chess news:

40 Years Ago, a Chess Match Took the World by Storm — The World Chess Championship match between Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union and Bobby Fischer of the United States — played in Iceland against the backdrop of the cold war and often called the match of the century — began 40 years ago last week. The showdown itself led to an explosion of interest in the game, and when Fischer won the title he became an international celebrity outside of the chess world. The same cannot be said for the current world chess champion, Viswanathan Anand of India. Yet judging by the number of clubs, school programs and Web sites that are devoted to chess, the game has never been more popular. In the United States alone, hundreds of thousands of children belong to chess clubs, and hundreds of ...

Chess won't become an Olympic sport in my time: Viswanathan Anand — World Chess Champion Viswanathan Anand has said playing at the Olympics would not happen during his career. Anand told media that with chess not being an Olympic sport, and the process of getting it included being a very lengthy one, his playing days would be over when that happens. "Not really. At the moment, it is pretty remote, and anyway, due to the lag, from acceptance till the day it finally becomes a medal sport; I mean, first you become a demonstration sport, then a medal sport, so there is a huge lag. It essentially does not apply to me anymore. I will not play in the Olympics. It will be well into the future before that happens," Anand said. Known to his fans as 'Vishy', Anand also expressed optimism about ...

On the road again, this time to Biel, Switzerland — Jet-setting St. Louis chess Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura has made his way to Biel, Switzerland, for the 45th annual Biel Chess Festival. Many strong chess tournaments take place in Europe each summer; and the Biel invitational, scheduled to begin July 23, is typically one of the strongest on the schedule. Recently, this chess event got quite a bit stronger than earlier anticipated after Cuban Grandmaster Leinier Dominguez Perez withdrew and was replaced by the world’s No. 1, Norwegian Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen. This event will feature six chess players in a double round robin. This is the fairest system, as each player plays everyone else twice, once with white and once with black. The addition of Carlsen makes ...

David Howell and Gawain Jones experience contrasting chess fortunes — England's two youngest chess grandmasters have been in action in strong European opens this week, with their different results highlighting how prize money in international chess is heavily geared to the final rounds. David Howell, 21, won first prize at Leiden, in the Netherlands, scoring an unbeaten 7.5/9 for his best international result yet. Howell, the No5 seed, got an important break in the penultimate round when his marathon endgame against Parimarjan Negi looked a sure draw until the Indian overreached in an attempt to take the tournament lead. In the final round the Cardiff University student was under pressure from Bosnia's Predrag Nikolic but defended coolly for the draw needed for outright first, half ...

On Chess: Anand fires back at critic Kasparov — Viswanathan Anand’s recent and difficult defense of his world chess title against Boris Gelfand left the Indian grandmaster in an uncharacteristically tense, rather than celebratory, mood. His narrow victory provoked more than a little unsettling criticism. Anand was affected. “I think this is the first time I have played a chess match where so many people seemed to have negative opinions about my play,” he said. Most notable among his critics was former world chess champion Garry Kasparov. Anand’s play has lost motivation, Kasparov observed. In fact, for the past several years, he said, Anand’s play “had been sliding downhill.” “Vishy is a brilliant chess player. But it is very difficult to compete at 40,” Kasparov said. “I will be surprised if ...
