Sergey Shipov’s review of 2012

Sergey Shipov’s review of 2012

By mishanp on January 20, 2013

2012 in chess was, yet again, the year of Magnus Carlsen. The Norwegian prodigy finally surpassed Garry Kasparov’s highest ever rating, causing Sergey Shipov to remark in his review of 2012 at Crestbook: “He’s Kasparov’s heir – not Kramnik, Topalov or Anand”.

Sergey Shipov’s commentary on Anand-Gelfand, Game 11

By mishanp on May 27, 2012

Future generations are unlikely to marvel at the draw in the penultimate game of the 2012 World Championship match, but if they come across Sergey Shipov’s live commentary they’d at least grasp the psychological drama. The World Champion’s opening surprise plunged Boris Gelfand into a 35-minute think that had his supporters worrying he’d cracked under the pressure.

When Shipov remarked in his introduction to Game 8 that there might be “negative side-effects” for Boris Gelfand after his win the day before it was hard to imagine things would go quite so spectacularly wrong. Instead of consolidating his lead he almost forced Viswanathan Anand to win perhaps the quickest miniature in World Championship match history.

Two cats and three computers: Sergey Shipov at work

By mishanp on May 18, 2012

While commentating on Game 2 of the Aronian-Kramnik match Shipov wrote: “I’m at home in Moscow in the company of 2 cats and 3 computers. I consult them constantly when studying a position, but I don’t trust any of them”. Evgeny Potemkin’s videos filmed during Game 2 of the World Championship match reveal those weren’t empty words.

Your questions for GM Judit Polgar

Your questions for GM Judit Polgar

By mishanp on November 21, 2011

Judit Polgar occupies a unique position in world chess. As well as simply being one of the best players around, she’s also living proof there’s no genetic barrier to women competing with men in chess. As the latest grandmaster to take part in the “KC-Conference” series you can now ask her virtually anything.

World Cup Finals, Day 4: Svidler claims the Cup

World Cup Finals, Day 4: Svidler claims the Cup

By mishanp on September 19, 2011

After two final draws the FIDE World Cup in Khanty-Mansiysk is over. Peter Svidler ran out a more-than-convincing winner after not losing a single game at the event. Ivanchuk, meanwhile, banished the spectre of his 2002 loss to Ponomariov by winning their rematch and has qualified for a Candidates for the first time since 1991.

World Cup Finals, Day 3: The show goes on

By mishanp on September 18, 2011

The third games of the final matches at the World Cup could have been the last if Peter Svidler and Vassily Ivanchuk had won, but instead there were two hard-fought draws. That means we’re all set for one last battle in classical chess – Alexander Grischuk and Ruslan Ponomariov have to win to force tiebreaks.
