Chess news: All that chess -- Magnus Carlsen, 19, walks into the new decade as the world's top-rated chess player. His January FIDE rating is 2810, five points ahead of Veselin Topalov and 20 points ahead of the world chess champion, Vishy Anand. An incredible accomplishment! In 2004, Carlsen played a brilliant game in Holland. His victory made a great impression and I called him the Mozart of chess. He was 13 at that time and, according to my good friend, the late Washington Post music critic Joseph McLellan, he was too old to be compared to the great music composer. But it was too late.

Can Kramnik find a bold move? -- The former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik had a superb year. But how did he turn this game to his advantage? Kramnik-Kosteniuk, World Chess Cup Blitz Moscow 2009. White to play. Apart from Magnus Carlsen's breakthrough, the major story of 2009 was Vladimir Kramnik's comeback. Since he lost the world title he looks more relaxed, his opening preparation is more thorough, and his play is sharper. This game is a good illustration of Kramnik's chess style. RB This looks to me like a pretty evenly balanced middlegame, and I can find nothing – nothing – at all for White. I can't see any tactical strikes. 1 Nxf7, 1 Ng6, 1 Rxc7 and 1 Bxd5 are all ... | |
