lol looking at problem of previous page & trying to workout solution , showed my kid & he came up with mate in 20 seconds , got to hate some people some times  , that is a nice problem 

Just reading that the world no 21 has passed away. Sad news.

very sad news about Vugar Gashimov ,

One from Kasparov's twitter feed. Can you find the winning move for white?

Qxf7, deflecting the Bg6 from the defence of the e4 square? ...Bxf7 then Ne4 mate.

Great stuff!

If Black doesn't recapture, you can still play it anyway and then mate him on the seventh rank with the queen.

Alternatively, black can start throwing pieces away to prevent checkmate, but we are only looking for a way to win and that is enough.

its not that clear up , after Qxf7 black has to take the rook on b7 & white takes back but after Rook hb8 white has some defending to do

think Jasmine Waltz is @ 66/1 is worth a punt , the yanks tend to be popular with the forums like digital spy

Luisa Zissman @ 20/1 is good price , think Ollie will end up like Mario from last year & to boring to win

One from Kasparov's twitter feed. Can you find the winning move for white?

like this puzzle , just understanding a combination of moves , my first thought was RxB but leaves black king with one escape square

Karpov was world champ 75-85 for starters.

And born in 51 meaning he wouldn't be the youngest world champ of all time. We might be quicker listing the parts of the article that are factually correct.

some block called gary was the youngest , credit to Carlsen think he may bring players back to chess , alot of us started playing poker because there is no money in chess , only top GM can make it ,

trouble is Carlsen likes these unbalanced positions & could end up with a race to promote , still prefer white a lot

Anand's last chance to get back into this match , gonna be very hard for him but if he can get an advantage in the opening we may have a game on our hand

Anand done well to lose yesterday in game that looked totaly drawn
today its looks like he has come out fighting which should be good to watch

Anand done what seems to be a chess novelty in the opening putting Carlsen on tank , any change in opening theory must be wrong & the opponent has to try to workout if it is a mistake , just pleased I never studied opening theory

game 5 coming up @ 9.20 , gonna miss first couple hours so hope not a quick draw

Anand played for a draw booooooooo

32 e6 looks pretty good , like Rdc1 as well , Anand cant go into endgame as those queen side pawns will win

http://www.twitch.tv/chessnetwork/ live commentary on the match

game 4 starts 9.20

[Rd8]

Anand seemed to be in control but then made a mistake at 37. Rxd3 Rd8

He had plenty of time when the mistake was made.

Bd4 ftw, the fish.  Rd8 was a confirmed #terripunt

Can someone better than me walk me through this please?

(37... Bd4 38. Qe2 Rf8 39. Rf3 Rxf3 40. Bxf3 Qd6 41. Kg2 b4) fritz 12 has black a pawn ahead
can only see a draw here , the b pawn promotes on a white square , think the game was drawn for some time

think those girls in photo would have worked a lot better if they was facing the camera
