Message: found by simply doing a google search for the Advanced Specific Phrase of "old indian defense" , which is how I found these which were part of that search. *** RE: The Old Indian, one of its main functions is for use against players of the Samisch WT variation, which it is supposed to discourage. One can see in the game given last below, that black can come to attack very quickly from the Old Indian. (Tho my MCO 14 calls it a stodgy but solid system, hard to beat. :) *****  en.wikipedia.org

Chess news: Vishy Anand helps Magnus Carlsen to claim Corus crown -- When Vishy Anand drew his first nine games at Corus Wijk aan Zee last week, opinions were divided on whether the world chess champion had lost his edge or was simply taking a well-paid rest before his April title defence in Sofia against Veselin Topalov.

Carlsen had final-round luck in Holland, and the impression is that ... World's No. 1 Chess Player Widens Lead Over His Biggest Rivals -- History will record 1990 as a great year for chess players: it was when three of the current top 25 players in the world were born. The youngest of the three is Magnus Carlsen of Norway, who is No. 1 in the world. Of the other two, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave of France is No. 18, and Sergey Karjakin, who was born in Ukraine but now plays for Russia, is No. 21. Under different circumstances, Karjakin and Vachier-Lagrave would be considered potential world chess champions.

He was the youngest ... Chess notes -- All eyes this week were on the Corus chess tournament at Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands, which had about everything one could hope for: drama, contention, star players, and great chess. The event’s sponsor, Corus, is a steel manufacturing and construction company, which was recently acquired by Tate Steel, India’s second largest privately held company. This corporation is a sponsor of many athletic and cultural events throughout Europe and hopefully will continue this great chess event in future years. The “Corus Line’’ in this tourney included, among its 14 contestants, nearly all of the world’s leading Grandmasters, except for Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria and Levon Aronian of ... | |
