They may have been at the World Youth Championships in Halkidiki, Greece, which ended Saturday. The chess championships are held every year and are divided into six age brackets, from those who are under 8 to those who turn 18 this year. There are open sections and sections for girls only. The tournament’s origins go back to the 1970s to the cadet championships, which were in one section for players under 18. Gradually the tournament expanded, adding a section for chess players under the age of 14 in 1979, for under 16 in 1981, for under 12 and under 10 in 1986, and for under 8 in 2006. Over the years, winners of world youth championships have ...

Rh7+ 1-0 ——— Revenge at Cap d’Agde: Ivanchuk Beats Nakamura — It took two years, but Vassily Ivanchuk got his revenge. Ivanchuk, a Ukrainian chess grandmaster, lost the final of the 2008 Cap d’Agde Rapid tournament to Hikaru Nakamura of the United States. Sunday, both players were again in the final and this time Ivanchuk won. Ivanchuk was definitely playing better even before the final. In his semifinal match against Bu Xiangzhi of China, Ivanchuk won both games, while Nakamura struggled against Le Quang Liem of Vietnam. Le Quang won the first game of the semifinal and Nakamura had to come back and win the second game to force a playoff. In the playoff, he won both games. The final games were entertaining and a bit strange. In the first, Ivanchuk, who ...

One day before the vote, during the press conference in the Siberian town of Khanty-Mansyisk, they were trying to explain how they will change the chess world. Karpov was running for the FIDE presidency and Kasparov supported him. They still had a small chance to win. In the last six month they criscrossed the world, talking about the wonderful game of chess and what could be done to make it more popular. The next day, Sept. 29, the FIDE delegates re-elected Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, who promptly announced that he defeated two world chess champions. What ...

The most important game of the day, in terms of the standings and the prize money, was between Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, and Etienne Bacrot of France. They were tied for second place. Anand had White and opened with his d pawn. Bacrot used the Nimo-Indian Defense and achieved a solid position out of the opening, though Anand had the bishop pair — a potentially long-term advantage. Bacrot began to play loosely, opening up his ...

The Norwegian chess star scored 5-2 in the first seven rounds of the 10-game tournament. Carlsen had fallen to second in the world chess rankings because of poor performances in two recent events, but he has regained an estimated eight of the 24 rating points he lost. World chess champion Viswanathan Anand of India and French grandmaster Etienne Bacrot were Carlsen's closest rivals, with scores of 4-3. Bacrot upset Anand in the first cycle but lost the rematch.
