I have once again involved myself in a team game so that other players have the chance to play. Maybe now -12 will become only -10!

Play online chess | Italian
Message:
I'm starting to try to stick to one opening until I know it. I only know general opening theory and my knowledge of specific lines is limited to knowing the early moves but not the ideas of the opening. Can anyone give me a hand with my Italian in some unrated games?
Thanks :)

A Miracle Escape on a Day of Draws at London Chess Classic — All four games were drawn Tuesday in the penultimate round of the London Chess Classic, but that was only because Vladimir Kramnik of Russia badly miscalculated in his game against Magnus Carlsen of Norway, allowing him to escape from a lost position. Heading into tomorrow’s final round, Carlsen remains tied with Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, and Luke McShane of England. Carlsen has the better tie-breakers, however, so if the three should remain tied, Carlsen, the defending champion, would claim the title. Kramnik is tied for fourth with Hikaru Nakamura of the United States, Michael Adams of England is sixth, David Howell of England is seventh, and Nigel Short, ...

Two Tied for Lead of Elite Russian Championship — For decades, the chess championship of the Soviet Union was considered one of the world’s strongest tournaments, if not the strongest. After the breakup of the U.S.S.R. scattered many of the world’s best chess players back to their native lands, it was inevitable that the national championships of each former Soviet country would not be as formidable as the collective one held by the Soviets. It is not surprising, however, that the one that has come closest is Russia’s. Russia has more of the world’s top chess players than any other country and is ranked No. 1 among countries, according to the World Chess Federation. Russia’s national championship, which started Saturday, includes seven chess players rated ...

Onetime Chess Prodigy Shows Renewed Signs of Promise — Tennis players fantasize about drubbing the top-ranked Rafael Nadal. Luke McShane, an English grandmaster, got to live out the chess version of such a dream last week at the London Chess Classic, where he soundly defeated Magnus Carlsen, the world’s No.1 chess player, in the first round. McShane, 26, is on the outskirts of the game’s elite, ranked No. 100 in the world. But when he was a boy, he was anointed as England’s next great chess prodigy. He won the under-10 world championship when he was 8 and became a grandmaster by 16 — the youngest, at the time, to ever do so in his homeland. He has not achieved what has been expected of him. Maybe he was not as talented as ...

Interview with Magnus Carlsen — The world's best chess player on modelling for G-Star Raw, psychological ploys, and why he's not big on Christmas. Q: Hello Magnus ... MC: Hello Small Talk. Q: How does it feel to be back for the London Chess Classic? MC: It feels good. Last year's tournament was really enjoyable and very successful for me too. Q: The Russian world champion Mikhail Botvinnik used to get training partners to deliberately blow smoke in his face to prepare for opponents who may try to unsettle him. Is there anything you do to prepare for psychological tricks or gamesmanship? MC: Thankfully, one cannot smoke at the board now so I don't have to worry about that. I try to focus on the game rather than ...

Through no fault of my own, our team should have two more wins very soon. I have an opponent from Highwind dead to rights in two games, but he's dragging it out.

McShane Retains Lead at London Classic; Anand Beats Carlsen — Luke McShane, who won his first two games, did not win in Round 3 of the London Chess Classic on Friday. But he managed to draw against Vladimir Kramnik of Russia, the former world chess champion, and thus remained in the lead. After three of the four games in each of the first two rounds ended decisively, Friday was relatively quiet, with three games ending in draws. The exception was a win by Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, over Magnus Carlsen of Norway. It was the second loss for Carlsen, who actually had an advantage early in the game before making two bad moves that allowed Anand to shatter his kingside pawns and then infiltrate with his queen and rook. Carlsen could ...

Message:
Hi Nebby,
Here's a report on my current team games.
Against Jens I am, as white, up a rook and two pawns. As black, I am up a pawn.
Against Kingpin00 I am, as white, up two pawns and have opened his king up to an attack. As black I am up a pawn, have his king in the centre and have a big lead in development.
Hopefully I can win these four games, and hopefully get us a positive score!

Message:
Hi teammates, hope all your games are going well. All the best, though I know that we will crush all opposition :D
Nebby, if there are any available challenges I have only 1 game left to finish (I've cramped my opponent up with a dangerous passed pawn and the win is now academic) though I can accept one opponent immediately.

Play online chess | Training
Message:
Hi teammates.
I was thinking, since other teams have team trainers and all that, whether we should consider training each other? I for one would be more than happy to help those with lower ratings in turn for help from higher rated teammates (though I'd be glad to help anyway!).
Any thoughts?
