David vs. Goliath: Upsets of the Week

Written by Administrator
Tuesday, 18 March 2014
By candidate master Peter Zhdanov, editor of Pogonina.com In this special weekly column we will be looking at the most unexpected upsets that happened last week. Players usually face opponents of a similar level. Considerably less frequent are situations when a significantly lower-rated player succeeds in beating a much stronger adversary.

Good Day

Written by Administrator
Friday, 14 March 2014
By WGM Irina Bulmaga, Romania. Best FIDE rating: 2410 There it is- a half of the Europeans has already passed. It is as I expected, a very difficult, but in the same time a very challenging and interesting tournament. I've played against strong opponents, I learned new things and I've fighted in every game until the very end. I am satisfied with my chess so far- well, it's impossible to be 100% satisfied, but I understand that there's a reason I'm still an IM and not a GM- there is place for improvement. Comments (1)

World Chess Championship Candidates Starts Tomorrow

Written by Administrator
Tuesday, 11 March 2014
By GM Daniel Gormally, England. Best rating: FIDE 2573 Vishy Anand- is the old king now the kingmaker? And should be very exciting. This is the tournament that will establish the first challenger to the young Norwegian superstar, 23 year old world champion Magnus Carlsen. The favourite is Levon Aronian, who is the world number two and has a big lead in rating over the next obvious choice of the pundits, Vladimir Kramnik. Now of course favourites don't always win, but Aronian and Carlsen seem so far clear of the rest of the chess elite that whatever the outcome here I would be amazed if they didn't meet in a match at some point. It reminds me of the days of the Kasparov-Karpov matches, when regardless of what happened in the meanwhile, you just knew they were heading for confrontation over the board.
