What a game! The trapped (my king and lsb) became the trappers. This game is against a player called gabriel who had a seemingly strong attack as white. Thankfully my attritional defence held through and my opponent overreached himself. This game was almost as nailbiting as the one against yakky in "In Old Matey's Shadow Part 2". In this game I could feel Old Matey breating down my neck for a few moves and it was not very pleasant. But I kept him at bay and won my twelfth game, and I now have 7 points from my 12 games! Hope you are having a nice weekend. Bye for now. Joanne

Chess news: Duchamp and Chess -- After becoming an established and successful artist, Marcel Duchamp, one of the father’s of Dadaism, turned his focus to playing chess, a game that enthralled him. He once famously remarked that “while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.” The merits of such a statement, particularly in light of the ability of computers to play chess so well, are debatable. But Duchamp, the creator of such works as “Nude Descending a Staircase No. 2” (1912) and “The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (The Large Glass)” (1915-23), spent a large part of his life as a serious chess player. An exhibition called “Marcel Duchamp: The Art of Chess,” at ... After Training With a Chess Legend, a Teenager Grabs a Big Win -- For 20 years, Garry Kasparov was the top-ranked chess player in the world. There were times, particularly in the early to mid-1990s, when he was so dominant that he seemed to win effortlessly, even against his closest competitors. In the chess tournaments he entered, the true competition was often only for second place. For the last few months, Kasparov, who retired in 2005, has been training Magnus Carlsen, an 18-year-old Norwegian. Many top chess players say he will almost certainly become world champion one day. Carlsen is the most talented player to emerge in the West since Bobby Fischer. But he has been unable to push through to ... Zatonskih Is U.S. Women’s Chess Champion Again -- With a win in Round 8 of the U.S. Women’s Chess Championship, Anna Zatonskih is the national chess champion, defending the title she won in 2008. It is the third title for Zatonskih, who also won in 2006. Zatonskih clinched the title with a round to go by scoring 7.5 points out of 8. She led from start to finish and had a one point lead over Camilla Baginskaite, the 2000 champion, going into the eighth round. While Zatonskih kept up the pace by beating Sabina Foisor, she got an assist from Irina Krush who beat Baginskaite. Krush, the 1998 and 2007 chess champion, had been expected to be the main competition for Zatonskih, but she got off to very bad start with ...
