14 December 2000 Thursday 17 Ramazan 1421 Please Visit our Sponsor (Ads open in separate window) Anand draws with Adams in semis: World chess championships NEW DELHI, Dec 13: The Indian grandmaster Vishwanathan Anand played out a draw against Michael Adams of England in the first game of the FIDE world chess championships semi-final here on Tuesday night. In the other semi-final, Spanish veteran Alexei Shirov scored a 44-move win over 17-year-old Russian prodigy Alexander Grischuk to take an early lead in the four-game match. Playing a rare Petroff defence, Anand handed Adams a slight edge before defending well in the middle game to settle for a 0.5-0.5 verdict in the first of four games. "Adams had a better position in the opening, I got some counterplay, but it was not a very satisfactory position," Anand said. "I guess it was the right time for me to make the offer for a draw." Shirov paid tribute to his young opponent, saying the teenager had a bright future. "Grischuk played excellent and attacked well," Shirov said. "I know it is not going to be easy for me in the remaining games." The winners will contest the final in the Iranian capital of Tehran later this month.

Chess " The Game of Kings and the King of Games" "The way he plays chess demonstrates a man's whole nature." -Stanley Ellin "There is no other game so esteemed, so profound and so venerable as chess; in the realm of play it stands alone in dignity." -Ely Culbertson "The chess master today must have courage, a killer instinct, stamina, and arrogance." -Evans "It is not a move, even the best move, that you must seek, but a realizable plan." -Znosko-Borovsky Gary Kasparov Kasparov, Gary 1963-, Armenian chess player; b. Azerbaijan as Garri Kimovich Wainshtein. In Sept. 1984 he challenged Anatoly KARPOV for the world championship and appeared likely to win when the match was halted amid controversy in Feb. 1985. He won a rematch (Sept.-Nov. 1985), becoming the youngest world champion ever. He later broke with the World Chess Federation and formed a rival association; in 1993 he defended against Nigel Short. Kasparov is noted for his aggressive style of play. "The future of chess lies in the hands of this young man."

Archery Boat Race Chess Ancient Indian Games ... Kabaddi Archery: One of the prominent and popular indigenous sports of the state of Meghalaya is archery. Archery is an intrinsic part of the culture of the local people, and plays a principal role in their festivals. The bows and gut are made of a special bamboo, and are of varying lengths and sizes. The arrows are made from special reeds, topped with a pointed metal cap, using eagle feathers. The feathers are interwoven near the neck on four sides, this part of arrow - making being the domain of the women. The target is made from a certain kind of grass, and is circular in shape, 8 to 10 inches high and 3 inches in diameter. The target is affixed on a thin bamboo pole, at a height of 3 1/2 ft from the ground. A notch is made at the base of the pole and any arrow hitting below the notch, is not counted for points. The distance exceeds 30 meters. There are three ways of conducting this contest : individual competition, team competition, and fast and slow shooting. Boat Race: The grand festival of Onam, is celebrated with great zest, in the picturesque state of Kerala, in the Malayalam month of Chingam.

The distance wasn't much in geographical terms; in every other way, the distance couldn't have been greater. The good news from the tournament was the diversity of talent: The South was richly represented, as could be expected, but there were winners from Bihar, Rajasthan and even Manipur. The bad news? Given the low priority chess holds in these states, there's little to suggest that these winners have any future. Winning the world championship made Anand richer by $660,000; enough, perhaps, to take care of all the participants at the national meet for one year. Parents and guardians say the cost of bringing up a chess player is between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh every year. This includes coaches' charges (mostly Rs 100 per sitting), tournament appearance money, books and other periodicals and travel allowance. It's not a small sum of money and it's not easy to find.

Articles About Vijayalakshmi Subbaraman India Today August 7, 2000 CHESS Queen Bee India's first Woman Grandmaster has the talent and temperament to go further By Amarnath K. Menon W oman Grandmaster: how illustrious is that? Advocates of politically correct speech may turn up their noses. "Woman" and "master" don't quite go together. Besides, the title is given in recognition of a woman achieving a high standard in a mindsport where, to be honest, there should be no gender distinction. But do chess buffs care? They know only the language of the chequered board and passionately argue that the WGM, as the title is popularly called, is another jewel added to the crown of Indian chess, one which has been too long coming. The only reason for such a long wait could be that women were traditionally not encouraged to excel in a game that involved outwitting a man across the board. Suddenly, one stroke from a petite 21-year-old has changed all that. Chennai-based Subbaraman Vijayalakshmi became the first Indian WGM this week, and now is trying to go where no other Indian woman player has gone before. The three-time National champion is only one victory away from becoming the first-ever Indian woman to win a men's International Master (IM) title, and it could come any time soon.

All this interspersed with some great music. For those who came in late, Anand honed his chess skills by participating in a regular chess quiz aired by the Philippines television (where his father was posted in 1970s). His unchecked victories forced the TV staff to request him to stop participating in the show so that others could win as well!

The Indian Grandmaster got a perfect Christmas and New Years gift as well as a slightly belated birthday gift for his 31st birthday when he defeated the desperate and reckless Spaniard Shirov. Anand had drawn the first game with black pieces and then won the next one with white. In the third game Anand registered another win with black, his first with the black pieces, in the Championships, and finally sealed the title with another win with white pieces. It was his sixth win in eight games with white pieces in these Championships. The only two players who avoided defeat when Anand had white in classical games were Khalifman and Michael Adams. The championship ended Anand's great quest for the World title. He also completed an incredible Grand Slam in the process. He had won the World Blitz Cup in Warsaw early this year and that was followed up with wins in the World rapids in Haifa and then the World Cup in Shenyang. The World Championships in New Delhi and Teheran completed an incredible year for Anand. It also ended years of Russian monopoly on the title.
