The father presented his nine-year-old daughter's USCF membership card to the tournament director and waited for him to fill out a pairing card for her. A group of us stood nearby, observing the scene with some amusement. "What a cute kid," we agreed. "She's probably here for the scholastic event."

I'll be there relaying the moves to Playchess.com and doing some impromptu commentary and contests. Brave the snow and come on by! You'll remember Krush beat Almira Skripchenko in September to qualify for this match. (And the preceding press conference and ear pulling ABC Studios has seen several chess events in the past and I think I've been at all of them. There was the Kasparov-Karpov rapid match in Dec. 2002, sponsored by X3D, the founder of which is also behind Accoona. Then there were two KasparovChess.com events in 2000. Garry gave a massive international virtual and real "UN of Chess") simul, walking past rows of computers as well as kids in the studio. Then there was the award ceremony for our World School Chess Championship. Sting and his band played a simul against Kasparov and then awarded the trophies to the kids. Most importantly, my mom got to see me on the jumbotron in Times Square. I don't know of if any coverage of those KC events has been preserved anywhere other than my hard drive, so I'm posting a few pics below. Permanent link

With this in mind I forced myself to hang out with Almira Skripchenko, Anna Hahn, and Irina Krush last Friday night. The occasion was the press conference for the ChinaCom.com (com.com.com?) match between French female #1 Skripchenko and her American counterpart Krush in September. You can read my report and interview with them here at ChessBase.com As is usually the case, the activities afterwards were more interesting than the press conference. The event was held at the Russian Samovar restaurant on the West Side of Manhattan and it is justly famous for Russian specialties and Russian vodka. The latter is probably what led to the ear pulling. (Not to mention the photos of the ear pulling.) Of course I wasn't going to stand for this and quickly called New York's Finest. Photogenic Officer Robert Giannetta was quickly on the scene to sternly admonish the French ear puller in question

Extractions: by Paul Hoffman When the first women entered an international chess tournament in London in 1897, commentators dismissed their chances on the grounds that “they would come under great strain lifting the leaded, wooden chess pieces." More than a century later, world-class chess is still largely dominated by men, but a few remarkable female players have made it to the highest echelons of the game. "I am a woman who plays a man's game," Chen said after clinching the title. "So I balance feminine emotions with masculine logic to become the strongest player possible." send to a friend Stories Times Square Vaudeville Women's Chess Championship Only in New York: Times Square Recruiting The Naked Truth ...

Extractions: Fifteen-year-old Irina Krush has little time for teen-age trivialities. Often spending five hours a day playing or studying chess, Irina, a sophomore at Edward R. Murrow High School, takes her talent seriously. ''When I have friends, it's because they're really important to me,'' she said. ''Everything else is chess.'' The dedication has paid off. Last weekend, Irina won the New York City high school chess championship for private and public schools, boys and girls. But, even more impressive, the achievement holds little weight for her. That is because Irina is already the nation's reigning women's chess champion. ''For a week, I didn't step out of my hotel room,'' she said about the United States Women's Chess Championship in Denver, where she won the title last November. ''That's the life of a chess player.'' But Irina, who was born in Russia, is setting her sights higher than that title, too. What irks her about the victory is that she didn't have to play against men to get it.

Extractions: Approximately two months ago, GM Maurice Ashley penned a thought-provoking essay titled, " The End of the Draw Offer? " which examined the questionable practice of quick draws in professional tournaments. Much of the debate re-emerged after the last-round fiasco at the 2003 U.S. Championship where three of the top four boards agreed to quick draws to advance to a blitz playoff. GM Ashley was also impressed by the chorus of boos rained upon GM Garry Kasparov when he offered a draw (from a better position) in the last game of the Kasparov-Deep Junior match. The Brooklyn Grandmaster then sought to turn his provocative essay into progressive action by founding Generation Chess, Inc GM Ashley was onto something and after lengthy negotiations, he hatched the idea of a theme tournament. This tournament would not feature a pre-determined opening, but would have a set of rules discouraging and even penalizing quick draws. After the negotiations and a few line-up changes, the tournament became a reality when the first pawn was pushed on the 23rd of April. Ten players, six countries and a lot of chess ahead! The tournament would be relayed live to the Internet Chess Club and also live audio receive live audio at Chess.FM
U.S. Chess Championship (Final Report) WIM Anna Hahn has been on the US chess scene for a solid decade and is noted forher refined manner and IM irina krush WIM Jennifer Shahade, 1-0 http://www.thechessdrum.net/tournaments/USchess2003/finalreport.html
Extractions: As mentioned above, J. Shahade, Krush and Hahn participated in a playoff after all three were deadlocked at 4½ points. The playoff consisted of a single round robin (each player plays the other two) with 15 minutes per game. An additional five second increment would be added per move. The secondary tiebreaker would be a five minute blitz game and if the score is still tied, a "shoot-out" game. It was very interesting to see the huge crowd viewing the games. It was especially strange to see such strong players watching instead of playing. The packed room was buzzing with electricity as the women took their places on the stage. All monitors were focused on the game in progress so that the games could be displayed from any part of the room. Hahn-Krush . This battle arose out of an ultra-sharp line in Meran variation of the Slav. This game turned into a battle of minor pieces as the evaluation of the game went back and forth. Toward the end, Hahn began to push her passed pawns, and instead of defending, Krush decided to attack. She then blundered a piece after 53 Nf3+ 54.g2 Nfg5 (54 Nfd4 or 54 Bd1=) 55.Rc8+ and was forced to resign.
