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: Nakamura Wins Second US Championship -- Hikaru Nakamura won the United States Championship on Sunday by making short work of his last round opponent, Josh Friedel. It was Nakamura’s second title; he also won in 2004, when he was only 16. Games from the chess championship, final standings and a video interview with Nakamura are on the Web site of the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis, which hosted the event. Nakamura, now 21, was the second-ranked chess player at the start and going into the last round, he was tied for first. Surprisingly, his closest competitor was not Gata Kamsky, the country’s top chess player, but Robert Hess, 17, who, when he is not playing chess, is a junior at the elite ... Battle of Generations -- The organizers of this year's U.S. chess championship in St. Louis offered a bonus $64,000 prize to the chess player who wins all his games. It was named after Bobby Fischer, who in the 1963-64 U.S. chess championship won all 11 games. It was an amazing performance. Fischer beat his nearest rival, Larry Evans, in their individual game with the King's gambit and finished 3½ points ahead of him. Repeating this feat is difficult. None of the chess players in St. Louis had a perfect score after the first three rounds and the Fischer Memorial Prize will not be awarded. The idea may stimulate other organizers. For example, FIDE may create the William Lombardy prize for the world's best ... New Generation Emerges Without Fischer as Influence -- The future of American chess is alive and well. For years, as the generation raised on Bobby Fischer grew older — chess players like Yasser Seirawan, Larry Christiansen and Nick de Firmian — there were questions about who would replace them. It was difficult to imagine another group as good coming along without Fischer as an inspiration. But the country is now awash in young chess talent. At the forefront is Hikaru Nakamura, 21, who has already won a United States Chess Championship title and is ranked No. 30 in the world. Josh Friedel, 22, who became a chess grandmaster last year, has won several major chess tournaments. So has Robert Hess, 17, who qualified ...
