They love their Che...Don't forget the Alaskans. They love their Chess960 too! <br /><br />Hurray to Uruguay! The small countries will show the big countries what is best. Unfortunately most of the traffic to this site in Australia will have been me :)<br /><br />Three cheers to Nakamura for winning Tata Steel 2011! His round 11 game was essentially Chess960 already! That game is a tantalizing preview of what Chess960 tournaments will be like.<br /><br />PLEASE NOTE that the top three winners at Tata Steel - Nakamura, Anand and Aronian (excluding Carlsen tied for third) have all played Chess960 at GM tournament level!!! <br /><br />Chess960 improves your Chess. When will people finally realize that? What do we have to do to wake the chess world from it's dream unreality? (to paraphrase Bobby Fischer). What do we have to do to get these inspirational players to start up their own Chess960 league?<br /><br />I wish. I pray. One day.<br /><br />Cheers<br />HarryHarryOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971894954907592580noreply@blogger.com
