  • 6Th London Chess Classic (6-14 December 2014)
    6TH LONDON CHESS CLASSIC (6-14 DECEMBER 2014) CLASSIC ROUND 4: 14 DECEMBER 2014 YOU’VE JUST BEEN SPACEBARRED With one round to go (starting at 2pm on Sunday), the Classic is nicely poised with five of the six players still able to finish first. Round four featured just the one decisive result, with Hikaru Nakamura beating Mickey Adams, which makes the scores as follows: Kramnik and Giri 6, Nakamura 5, Anand and Adams 4, Caruana 3. One of the great things about an international chess tournament is the exchange of ideas between people from different countries and cultures. From the beginning, the London Chess Classic has placed a great deal of importance on invitees putting in as positive a performance in the commentary room as they do at the board. Top chessplayers are highly intelligent people and have quickly realised that their livelihood depends as much on their ability to communicate as to play good moves. Consequently we now have a young generation of players with the confidence to innovate off the board linguistically as well as on it. Not just those who have English as their first language, either. It’s gratifying for us native Brits to have our language adopted worldwide as the first language of chess, but perhaps a bit scary too. As with our other notable export, football, where we have had to learn to endure other countries playing it a lot better than we do, we now have to live with people from non-English speaking countries being more articulate and creative in English than we are.

  • 6Th London Chess Classic (6-14 December 2014)
    6TH LONDON CHESS CLASSIC (6-14 DECEMBER 2014) SUPER RAPIDPLAY OPEN (ROUNDS 9-10) - 7 DECEMBER 2014 Hikaru Nakamura of the USA won the London Super Rapidplay Open with an outstanding score of 9½/10, having conceded just the one draw in the sixth round to Matthew Sadler. Second on his own, a full point behind Nakamura on 8½, was Anish Giri of the Netherlands. Ten players shared third place on 8 points: Fabiano Caruana (Italy), Vishy Anand (India), Vladimir Kramnik (Russia), Nigel Short, Nick Pert and Simon Williams (all England), Alex Lenderman and Daniel Naroditsky (both USA), Eric Hansen (Canada), and Alon Greenfeld (Israel). It was a remarkable event, and needed a remarkable winner. It got one: on the Sunday Hikaru was close to unplayable, with a powerful 4/4 finish including the scalps of four of his elite London Chess Classic rivals (note in all diaries: the Classic starts Wednesday). Mickey Adams, Anish Giri, Fabiano Caruana and Vishy Anand all lowered their colours before Hikaru. Only Vladimir Kramnik escaped him, if only because he didn’t play him – although he did last year. Cast your mind back a year and you will recall that Vlad was Hikaru’s swindle victim in the semi-final of the 2013 London Classic Super 16. Hikaru went on to defeat Boris Gelfand in the final, so this is his second successive victory in this format of the game. Hikaru’s runaway rapidplay has added spice to this year’s Classic: you can be sure that all five of his rivals will be out for revenge.

  • London Chess Classic Day 6 Round-Up
    10th December 2015 LONDON CHESS CLASSIC DAY 6 ROUND-UP Today saw the return of the Grand Chess Tour, with the identity of this year’s winner still very much in the balance. With 3 rounds to go, almost anyone could still win both the LCC and overall title. Anish Giri maintains his unbeaten record (both in the GCT and against Carlsen!) The first result to come in today was yet another draw in a Berlin, this time in the game between Vachier-Lagrave and Caruana. Next up drawing their encounter were Anish Giri and Magnus Carlsen, meaning the former not only remains unbeaten in all three tournaments of the Grand Chess Tour, but also undefeated by the World Champion. Nakamura and Aronian also split the point as soon as the time control was made, as there was nothing left to play for in a level rook endgame. At this stage, it looked like the two remaining games, Topalov-Adams and Grischuk-Anand, would both end in White’s favour. Indeed, Britain’s number 1 had just blundered with 32...Ne7, missing that after 33.Nb3 a fork on c5 was inevitable. However, the Bulgarian returned the favour by overlooking a fork himself, and a draw then became inevitable. In the last game of the day, Grischuk secured his first victory thanks to a nice positional game against Anand. However, by the Russian’s own admission, he wasn’t sure he was winning had Vishy played 51...d3 instead of 51…Kd3. At the end of the day though the result is all that matters, and Grischuk joins Nakamura, Giri and Vachier- Lagrave in the lead, with each having won one game and drawn the rest.

  • 10-Year-Old Chess Prodigy to Publish New Book He’S Got Moves; Chess Consultant to the Queen’S Gambit Pens Foreword
    Media Contact: Judy Twersky [email protected] 10-Year-Old Chess Prodigy to Publish New Book He’s Got Moves; Chess Consultant to The Queen’s Gambit Pens Foreword [NEW YORK: November 16, 2020] Metabook Entertainment announced today its latest title He's Got Moves: 25 Legendary Chess Games (As Analyzed by a Smart Kid) by 10-year-old chess prodigy Oliver Boydell. The book is scheduled for release on Tuesday, December 8 in hardcover and digital editions by the company's Metabook® imprint. The book’s Foreword is penned by Boydell’s chess coach Bruce Pandolfini, famously portrayed by Sir Ben Kingsley in the movie Searching for Bobby Fischer and primary chess consultant for Netflix’s hit series The Queen's Gambit. "I had never heard of a 10-year-old who had even attempted to write such a book, let alone complete it with panache and delightful humor. But that is exactly what Oliver has done," said Pandolfini of his protégé. "He has put his genius into a one-of-a-kind chess book, in which he has crafted engaging text, with quality examples and instructive insights, all artfully presented and arranged." Boydell is a National and New York City chess champion who had dreamed of writing a book to share his love of the game. The shutdowns caused by the Covid-19 pandemic gave him the time to write the book while he was – like so many kids – stuck at home. And Pandolfini has continued to mentor his protégé virtually during the pandemic through countless games of online chess.
