Chess news: Chess Notes -- Here is a product of the World Chess Cup, a game of maneuver from the fourth round in which Peter Svidler, a chess veteran and winner of the Soviet Championship five times, subdues Arkadij Naiditsch of Germany. Games that start quietly inevitably result in noisy clashes. In this game Svidler as Black develops his pieces to the third rank, depending on ultimate counter play.

His staying power — he has been among the world’s best chess players for two decades — is unusual. With the victory in the World Cup, Gelfand has qualified for the candidates’ matches to select a challenger for ... | |
