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. After looking over the game I decided that the next book I'm going t, play online chess ...

Scrap the stalemate rule! — I have never felt that the stalemate rule is fair. my reason for this is that before the word checkmate came into the game of chess people would have to physically capture the king before that.

The Road to Chess Mastery — How much do you have to know to become a strong chess player? According to Russian folklore you have to know 300 chess positions to become a grandmaster, but nobody knows what exactly these positions are. There is something in the number 300 that attracts chess writers. Siegbert Tarrasch, one of the world's finest chess players from 1890 till World War One, taught chess in his book Three Hundred Chess Games. Vassily Panov presented in Russian 300 Selected Games of Alexander Alekhine with the notes of the former world chess champion. In his book GM-Ram, IM Rashid Ziyatdinov prints 256 plain diagrams and asks you to fill in the remaining 44 positions. This is your chess brain, he says, but he doesn't tell you what ...

Rising stars light up Euro chess championship — Cue the chorus of "Sunrise, Sunset." In one more sign that kids grow up fast these days, 17-year-old chess prodigy GM Anish Giri had what for him rates as a novel experience: losing to a younger chess player. At the 13th European Individual Chess Championship now under way in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, the reigning Dutch national champ fell to 15-year-old fellow chess prodigy GM Ilya Nyzhnyk from Ukraine. Some are already billing the game, the first over-the-board clash of the two wunderkinds, as a sneak preview of the 2020 world chess championship match. In an Open Catalan (with a slew of tricky transpositions), Nyzhnyk as White wins back his gambited pawn, but Caruana obtains a perfectly defensible position, with some good ...

2012 U.S. Women's Chess Championship preview — The 2012 U.S. Women's Chess Championship will be held May 8-20 at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of St. Louis.

The U.S. Women’s Championship pits the top 10 American female chess players in a round-robin (all-play-all) format, and if this year’s tournament is anything like those in years past, it is sure to feature plenty of fighting chess. The two perennial favorites are International Masters Irina Krush and Anna Zatonskih, and this year is no different. These two women have played boards one and two on the U.S. Women’s Chess Olympiad team for ...

Brilliant start puts Gawain Jones on course to qualify for World Cup — Saturday is the 11th and final round of the European Chess Championship at Plovdiv, Bulgaria, from where the top games will be shown free online, starting 10am BST, as England's Gawain Jones battles to qualify for next year's $1.2m World Cup. With two rounds left, Jones was eighth, half a point behind the leaders and well inside the minimum 23 World Cup places. Jones, 24, the England No4, was seeded No60 but made a brilliant start as the only chess player to win his first four games. His technical ace was the Dragon Sicilian, a dynamic counter-attacking system for Black used by England's first chess grandmaster Tony Miles and a UK speciality. Jones's fourth-round opponent, Boris Savchenko of Russia, took on the Dragon but ...

On Chess: Group cracks down on cleavage — The European Chess Union recently announced that it has adopted a dress code. The regulations apply to all chess players and spectators. The code includes requirements such as crisp, clean clothes with no holes; no flip-flops, although high heels are allowed; and harmonious coordination of clothes, shoes and accessories. No hats are allowed because of the potential for concealing electronic devices that could be used for cheating. Men must wear trousers; shorts are not listed as an option. There is no prohibition, however, against women wearing skirts several inches above the knees. Cleavage is another matter. The most controversial regulation has been one allowing women to leave only the top two buttons of a blouse ...
