Extractions: 29 December 2000, Reuters (Also reports from TOI, Washington Post, New York Times, Chicago Tribune and PTI) NEW DELHI - Indian Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand got a screaming welcome from fans proclaiming him "Mind King" as he arrived home on Friday after claiming the FIDE world chess crown. Anand was hailed as a national hero by officials on his return from Tehran where he beat Spain's Alexei Shirov to become the first Asian to win the FIDE world chess championship earlier this week. The 31-year-old was congratulated by President K. R. Narayanan at the presidential palace after boisterous fans welcomed him with banners at the airport proclaiming him "Mind King." "I'm thrilled at the reception I have received here," Anand said at a function where he was congratulated by India's Information Technology minister Pramod Mahajan. "I've been greeted so warmly by fans, sent thousands of e-mails. People came to me and said they were praying for me... it's all very touching and I sometimes get nervous that it may be too much to live up to," Anand said.

Extractions: nd DUBAI JUNIORS CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP nd To 30 th July 200 Sheikh Maktoum Bin Hamdan Cup Home Online Games PGN File Last year Tournament German Chess History At the end of the 19 th century the best chess players lived in Germany. The 1 st world champion Emanuel Lasker lived in Berlin and he lost his title against Capablance 1921. At this time the players Siegbert Tarrasch and Aaaron Nizowitsch lived also in Berlin and writes their famous books like " My System". After the 2 nd world war the best German players were GM Dr. Wolfgang Unzicker (west) and GM Wolfgang Uhlmann (east) for many years. After a long time in the year 1980 GM Dr. Robert Huebner was the first big player from Germany in the world class. He played in Meran the candidate final against GM Viktor Kortschnoi und lost. In the nearest past the biggest success for German players was the Silver medal in Istanbul 2000 for the men team. In Germany we also have some big events every year. In Dortmund is a famous Grandmaster tournament at the end of July. This year there are playing the GMs Vishy Anand, Peter Leko, Alexander Morosewitsch and other world class players. In middle of August one of the best quick chess tournaments is in Mainz. This year GM Vishwanathan Anand is playing against GM Judith Polgar. To the same time Peter Swidler is playing against Peter Leko a match chess960 or sometimes we say Fischer-random chess. This new form of chess is very interesting because the theoretical know how is not so important and usually it will win the better playing player and not the better prepared player.

Extractions: Checkmate! Nathalia Jones Vishwanathan Anand, his wife Aruna, and mother, Sushila, share with our readers some aspects of the chess grandmaster's life, and the autobiography he is planning. The book, spiced up with contributions from both the women, promises to be interesting. Every time he won or lost a game, Vishwanathan Anand would write down his impressions in his diary. The `fire' and emotions of the brush with his first chess manual were too strong to be held within, and so these too poured out on paper. As were Anand's various culinary jaunts during his travel abroad. But why are you being told all this? Because in 2005 you'll be encountering all of the above in Anand's autobiography which is being published by Penguin India. The autobiography will be accompanied by a chess manual, "for those who are interested in the game and not in learning about me".

Chess vishwanathan anand, the second highest rated chess player in the world, wrote thispiece while the year s KasparovDeep Blue re-match was still in progress. http://www.pugmarks.com/sports/chess1.htm
Extractions: Vishwanathan Anand Brain Vs Bytes As the Garry Kasparov-Deep Blue rematch unfolds, I am reminded of an old Russian joke about a man playing chess on the beach with his dog. Soon an amazed crowd gathered, an said: "How remarkable!" The man angrily protested. "What's so remarkable?" I am leading three game to one!" Until a few years ago, this joke could have been told about chess-playing computers. Computers, who could calculate very accurately, were hopelessly dogmatic. They stuck rigidly to the relative values of the pieces and went after every piece they could find. Chess, however, is not bean-counting. Every chess player not also learns that they are only to guide, not govern. Computers were totally unable to deal with the variables, let alone conceive a strategic plan. A human rarely selects a move on the basis of death-defying calculation. Seeing 10 moves ahead does occur from time to time, but only in special situations. Humans hardly ever look at every move in a position. If a position contains, say 30 moves, a human would consider about five or six. This is a highly efficient method, since it is most likely that other moves are inferior. However, this efficiency comes at a price. Just as computers blindly stick to their rules, humans often overlook many exceptions to the rule. Moves that don't conform to known patterns are often ignored.

You can write to him at comments@melvindurai.com To read his older columns, go to http://www.melvindurai.com It's been more than 20 years since I actively played chess, but I'm getting an itch for the sport. Wait a minute. Did I just use the words "actively" and "sport" in reference to chess? I must be losing my mind and if that's the case, I'd better stay away from chess. Perhaps I'm being brainwashed by the avid chess player in my family, namely my wife. She loves chess, partly because it's one of the few sports she can play with her butt on a chair. But don't tell her I said that. I don't want to find one of those sharper chess pieces a bishop or a pawn stuck between my teeth. As it is, I pay a fortune to the dentist. I'm not sure how much he charges for "chess piece extraction."
IntellectWorld.com - Wanted: Thai Grandmaster Of Int'l Chess the second strongest Asian GM after Indian GM vishwanathan anand. His sport has takenhim to 89 countries and he is quite active promoting chess in Indonesia. http://www.intellectworld.com/thai/thaiGM.html
Extractions: Bangkok - Today, there are over 500 grandmasters (GM) of chess in the world. In Asia, there are 11 in China and 5 in Indonesia. Unfortunately, none in Thailand and history is waiting. Some young talented Thai can look forward to a very unique and rewarding lifestyle. Maybe its you or your child? Take Indonesian Grandmaster Utut Adianto, 35, who started the game at six and is basically self-taught. He started winning tournaments at 13 and has gone onto win 7 international championships. Between 1990 and 1995, he was the second strongest Asian GM after Indian GM Vishwanathan Anand. His sport has taken him to 89 countries and he is quite active promoting chess in Indonesia. He even has a chess school named after him. GM Adianto was recently in Bangkok for a 'simultaneous' chess exhibition (he plays several boards all at once). He was invited by Khun Prajuab Nimityongskul, Thailand's representative of the International Chess Federation (FIDE). The exhibition was held at the RBSC Polo Club on July 19th and attended by local chess enthusiasts, including two members of Thailand's national chess team, Banjuab Jiravorasuk, and Kannapon Srivachirawat. GM Adianto gave this assessment of the local int'l chess scene: "In general, Thai players are good, there are about 5 to 10 players I can think of, that could attain the rank of International Master (IM). The Thais are particularly good at tactical skills and calculating combinations. What they lack is a strong grasp of strategy and better endgames."

Extractions: Top Linares 1998 Category XXI (avg rating 2752) The Linares Supertourney started Sunday the 22nd. This is a Category 21 event with an average ELO of 2752. The event is the second strongest tournament in history, the first being Las Palmas 1996, which had an average rating just 5 points higher. The contestants are the top 8 players in the world, with the exceptions of Karpov and Kamsky. Karpov had a fall out with the organizers last year when he accepted his invitation to play, but didn't show up due to him campaigning for election to the Russian parliament. Gata Kamsky, the 7th ranked player in the world, is at medical school and not currently an active player. Apparently all the players save Shirov signed an agreement which states they will not have any game agreed as a draw before move 40.

For as the world's media so avidly reported in 1997, this IBM computer system defeated Grandmaster Gary Kasparov in a series of six games. But now the sun of media attention on Deep Blue has set and we are left gazing at the night sky of computer chess. At smaller specks of light, but myriads of them. Our particular star is Dr. Ingo Althofer, Mathematics Professor at the Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena, Germany. His is a story about one man who, without all the financial support that the scientists at IBM had, developed a chess-playing mechanism that took on some of the best players in the world. And sometimes defeated them too. The main problem that computers face when playing chess, or any other game for that matter, is strategy. Apart from simple rules, such as `a queen is more powerful than a bishop or `when you have this configuration pieces, do
