While you still can. Shabalov, 35, of Squirrel Hill, captured the U.S. Chess Championship in Seattle on Saturday. In 61 moves over six hours, Shabalov defeated archrival Varuzhan Akobian, of Glendale, Calif., with a display of brilliance seldom seen on a chessboard. Those of you who missed it on The Checkers and Chess Channel missed a match for the ages. From the outset, Shabalov maneuvered with shark-like aggressiveness and astounded everyone with the stunning sacrifice of his queen in the 56th move. The trick play worked. Five moves later, Akobian was finished.

Home Front page World Open 2000 5 July 2000 Benjamin Wins Playoff and is the 2000 World Open Champion In the final round, Benjamin-Ehlvest and Fedorowicz-Serper were both drawn very quickly, as all 4 players were most interested in protecting themselves against missing out on a big payday if they had lost. Julian Hodgson tried his trusty Trompowsky against Ivanov in an all-out attempt to win the game, reach 7 points, and share in the loot with the other high scorers. Ivanov, should he be able to score the victory himself, would win the World Open outright with 7.5 points. In the endgame, Hodgson had a rook and knight versus Ivanov's knight and bishop. Hodgson had a 2-1 pawn edge on the kingside, but Ivanov had 3 connected passed pawns on the queenside. The Englishman eventually queened one of his pawns, while Ivanov got a pawn to the 7th at a2 and the other to b3 while retaining his knight at c2. Hodgson's king was at b2. The game was finally drawn because Hodgson could not give check with his queen while picking up the pawns. A fantastic game that gave Ivanov a share of the gold with 7 and left Hodgson half-a-point short with 6.5. Kudrin, Goldin, and Blatny won their games to also finish with 7 points.

Kasparov - Anand match for the World Chess Championship will not be held this year AUGUST 14: Mr. Kuruvilla Abraham, manager of chess Grandmaster Anand, has just released the following statement: The much awaited match between Viswanathan Anand and Garry Kasparov will not happen this year. The 16 game championship, which was to have taken place in October this year, has been canceled due to lack of sponsorship. The event was originally to have been sponsored by a Silicon Valley mega-corporation who pulled out in the last minute due to a conflict of interest caused by Kasparov's, Microsoft backed, Internet based chess match. Grandmaster Anand Viswanathan in 1989 at the Asian Team Chess Championship in Genting Highlands, Malaysia Photo by Sam Sloan As a consequence, the promoter, Mr. Serge Grimaux, was unable to finalize an alternative sponsor within the deadline prescribed by the formal agreement signed by all parties involved. Subsequently, Mr. Grimaux requested and was given 30 further business days (holidays and weekends not included) to make other sponsorship arrangements. However, despite his best efforts, adequate sponsorship commitments were not finalized during this extended period and therefore the championship now stands canceled. Mr. Grimaux is yet to make an official statement about the status of this championship, which would have been a face off between the two strongest players of the world. A team of eminent people headed by Mr. Bessel Kok had informed the committee under whose authority the championship was supposed to have been organized. The committee may meet at a later date to decide on a future championship.

Impressions of the George Koltanowski Memorial Conference on Chess and Education Follow Ups Post Followup NMCO Forum FAQ Posted by Eddie Sedillo on January 04, 2002 at 13:17:55: On the weekend of December 14-16, 2001, the University of Texas at Dallas hosted the George Koltanowski Memorial Conference on Chess and Education along with the National K-12 Grade Chess Championships at the Dallas Hyatt Regency at Reunion in Dallas, Texas. The site was as good as it gets. It was a thrill to take the escalator one level down from the first floor and enter a scene right out of the movie "Searching for Bobby Fischer," only grander. In the movie, there looked to be about 200 kids and a handful of parents. Here there must have been over 1,000 kids here and the playing hall was large enough so that spectators were allowed in - this was one difference from the tourney held in Albuquerque many years ago. At our tourney, the doors creaked so loudly that monitors tried in vain to limit the coming and going of people. In Dallas, one could stroll down aisles and be within a few feet of the contestants. There was a large stage almost completely covered with trophies to be given out. There was a sectioned off area for the top boards of each grade level and spectator seating for those wishing to follow the action. Each of those top boards had its own demo board and a person to move the pieces as moves were made. The din of noise would have caused one to have to speak over a whisper to be heard, but speaking in a normal tone of voice would have been too loud.

Sam sloan's Candidate's Statement for the June Chess Life If you saw the article in the December issue of Altantic Monthly, you will have read that I am a chess writer and longtime friend of Bobby Fischer. In a political manuver, Fischer was expelled from the United States Chess Federation last year. I plan to have Fischer reinstated and brought back into chess. I want to build up, expand and improve the USCF. I do not want to break up the USCF into pieces, as another candidate wants to do. Sam Sloan We need to drop Internet chess, where the field is crowded, and expand scholastic chess. Every school in the country seems to want us now. We need to develop teaching materials and course programs for the kids in the schools. If we do not act now, we will be left in the dust, as we were in Internet chess. I also want to bring back School Mates magazine.
