Jag måste dock säga att nivån på dessa partier inte alltid är så hög från min sida. För övrigt har jag nästan uteslutande spelat här på GK och de partierna har du väl redan tillgång till antar jag???

Tall, handsome and expressionless, he looks exactly as a man who has mastered a game of nearly infinite variation should: like a high-end assassin. Today, however, he is getting methodically and mercilessly crushed. His opponent is a teenager who seems to be having difficulty staying awake. Magnus Carlsen yawns, fidgets, slumps in his chair. He gets up and wanders over to the other games, staring at the boards like a curious toddler. Every now and then, he returns to ... For Many People, Holidays Are a Time for Playing -- The period around the new year has become one of the busiest times for chess players. Holiday chess tournaments have a long tradition. One of the oldest, the Hastings International Chess Congress in England, has been held every year since 1920-21, with a break during World War II. This year’s tournament began on Dec. 28 and ends Jan. 5. After six rounds, Andrei Istratescu of Romania, Yuri Drozdovskij of Ukraine and Zbynek Hracek of Czech Republic were leading the top section with 5 points, and being chased by a group of eight chess players, including three grandmasters, three international masters and two masters who each had 4.5 points.
