The Closet Grandmaster: November 2014

http://closetgrandmaster.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Chess is very simple. He goes there, I go here. I go there, he goes here.". Monday, November 24, 2014. Chess on The iPad. I don't get much chess action myself these days, at least not over the board. But I still follow the top events closely. Thanks to Apple, I can do this, last night's World Championship game that ended it all for Vishy ("screwed"). That is my iPad tethered to my iPhone. And in case you're wondering, the red is a not too shabby Chilean merlot. Posted by The Closet Grandmaster. Mark Week...

The Closet Grandmaster: End of Chess in New York Times?

http://closetgrandmaster.blogspot.com/2014/10/end-of-chess-in-new-york-times.html

Chess is very simple. He goes there, I go here. I go there, he goes here.". Tuesday, October 14, 2014. End of Chess in New York Times? Is it really the end of the chess column in the New York Times? Many people certainly thought so when this appeared at the foot of the 11 October edition. A chess column has appeared in the NYT since. 1855. MT @kevingranville. Spotted in today's NYT.

The Closet Grandmaster: Vishy Anand Is Screwed

http://closetgrandmaster.blogspot.com/2014/11/vishy-anand-is-screwed.html

Chess is very simple. He goes there, I go here. I go there, he goes here.". Monday, November 10, 2014. Vishy Anand Is Screwed. Just like that, Magnus Carlsen goes one up against Anand in their ongoing combat for the World Chess Championships. And it is only game two. Last year, it took until game five before we saw a decisive result. Honestly, why do we even bother? So I say, save yourselves some late nights and get some sleep. Nothing to see here folks.

The Closet Grandmaster: January 2015

http://closetgrandmaster.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Chess is very simple. He goes there, I go here. I go there, he goes here.". Monday, January 12, 2015. The past week has been a Chinese trifecta. Zhao Jun won the Hastings tournament, Ni Hua pulverized almost everyone at the Aussie Open and then there's also Zhao Xue who bagged the Kiwi Open. The two Zhaos winning were complete surprises. After all, they weren't exactly the favourites. Posted by The Closet Grandmaster. Friday, January 09, 2015. Australian Chess Open 2015. Perhaps it's not such a problem i...

The Closet Grandmaster: Chess Christmas Cheer

http://closetgrandmaster.blogspot.com/2014/12/chess-christmas-cheer.html

Chess is very simple. He goes there, I go here. I go there, he goes here.". Monday, December 22, 2014. Look what I spotted in Sydney's Pitt St yesterday. When I saw the chess boards, my first thought was that Pablo Williams, The Jamaican Champion, must have expanded his operations! You can usually see him here this time of year. But, nope; no Pablo. This bloke who's hosting the simul is, in fact, none other than Sydney local Jason Chan. Posted by The Closet Grandmaster. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Closet Grandmaster: Australian Chess Open 2015

http://closetgrandmaster.blogspot.com/2015/01/australian-chess-open-2015.html

Chess is very simple. He goes there, I go here. I go there, he goes here.". Friday, January 09, 2015. Australian Chess Open 2015. I meant to post something about the ongoing Aussie Chess Open. Much earlier, but with the rush to head back to Tokyo and immediately having to start work after a very non-Japanese 3-week vacation, this post is much delayed. Anyway, if you're not already following yours truly, you can find me here. That wee complaint aside, I've really enjoyed following the tournament by remote...
