Ukraine edges out Russia in World Chess Olympiad — Russia again failed to end its gold medal drought at the biennial Chess Olympiad this week despite home advantage. Ukraine, whose No1, Vasily Ivanchuk, also won the individual top-board gold, narrowly edged the hosts with Israel third. Russia's last success was in 2002, since when Ukraine and Armenia have each had two victories. England, seeded 12th, proved inconsistent and finished 24th despite Michael Adams's win over the world No1, Magnus Carlsen, and a fine unbeaten 6/8 by Gawain Jones, 22, on bottom board. Carlsen himself lost three games and now has only a small lead over India's world chess champion, Vishy Anand, in the global rankings. The most significant gain was by ...

Class Struggle and Fabergé’s Imagination Played Out on a Board — In the fall of 1977, George Dean, a Detroit doctor and chess set collector, received a call from a man with a thick Russian accent offering to sell a chess set made by the legendary jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé. Dr. Dean knew that Fabergé had made a set in 1905, but the one offered for sale was supposedly made in 1915. Dr. Dean borrowed a few chess pieces — which were made of silver and gilded silver — and flew to London to ask a renowned art dealer if the set was made by Fabergé. As he entered the dealer’s shop, he was astonished to see the 1905 chess set on display. Dr. Dean immediately asked to buy it, though it was not for sale. After much haggling, the dealer gave in and sold it. The dealer also ...

Ukraine Wins Chess Olympiad — To win gold medals at any chess olympiad, you need exceptional performances of at least two chess players who know how to take risks and collect points. But you also need a few others who can steady the team -- solid players hard to defeat. If that is not enough, you need some luck. The team of Ukraine had it all at the 39th Chess Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia, that finished Sunday. Led by the amazing GM Vasyl Ivanchuk, Ukraine clinched the gold undefeated, winning eight matches, tying three and collecting 19 points. Russia's top chess team finished with the silver medal with 18 points. Israel tied for third place with Hungary with 17 points, but won the bronze on a better tiebreak. ...

Vassily Ivanchuk Dominates the Chess Olympiad — Every chess game is between just two people, but players can be organized into teams in which individual results are added up in a combined score. But just as in sports, not every chess player is a good teammate. In chess, a bad teammate is one who does not try hard enough when the team needs a win, or who loses a game by pressing too hard for a win when the team needs only a draw. A good teammate will adapt to minimize risks. Vassily Ivanchuk has a reputation as a good teammate, particularly in the biennial World Chess Olympiads that are the game’s pre-eminent team competitions. Before this year, Ivanchuk, 41, of Ukraine, had competed in 11 Chess Olympiads and had been on ...

dress sense - maybe... but when I told him that dance was the hidden language of the soul,
I'm pretty sure he told me he couldn't dance.
Makes you wonder when you stop to think about it - dosen't it?!

Ukraine Wins Gold Medal at Chess Olympiad — A draw in its final match on Sunday was enough to secure Ukraine the team gold medal in the open section of the Chess Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia. It was the first team medal for Ukraine in the competition, which is held every two years, since 2004, when Ukraine also won the gold. Russia’s top team had a chance to catch Ukraine in the last round, but only managed to draw against Spain, despite a win by Vladimir Kramnik over Alexei Shirov, Spain’s top chess player. Russia wound up with the silver — its first medal since 2004, when it also finished with the silver behind Ukraine. Israel, Ukraine’s final-round opponent, tied for third with Hungary, which beat Poland. On tie-breakers, Israel won ...
