Walking with Kasparov:
The superb website of Dutch Journalist and Author Tim Krabbé is full of interesting material such as A Walk with Kasparov. In this article, Krabbé describes how he asked Kasparov about a move he had played in the last round of the VSB Tournament, Amsterdam. Kasparov then invited him to his hotel room to check his computer and the analysis went to the analysis hall and out to the streets of Amsterdam. All the time Kasparov was reeling out analysis and Krabbé was amazed to be hearing such secrets!

" Kasparov seems oblivious to the fact that I am seeing all these Grünfeld secrets, perhaps rightly assuming that I will not be able to remember anything. But can this really be the same person who, a few days before, told me that he will never use the Internet to send his analyses, for fear they might be intercepted by his enemies?"

A really interesting read. And there is plenty more of that.

The Open Diary is updated every 3 or 4 days and is full of interesting stuff. The Chess Records are great fun. These are official games that are the longest, shortest etc etc. A great Chess Quotes page

'In blitz, the knight is stronger than the bishop.'
Vlastimil Hort

There are also plenty of amazing, amusing, entertaining Chess Problems Tasks and Records on this super site.

Chess Today Back Issue:
Every so often, with the kind permission of Editor in Chief GM Alexander Baburin, we publish exclusive free editions of Chess Today. Usually they are the latest editions but sometimes we delve into the back issues. This time I want to go back to CT-1318 in which IM Andrew Martin checks out the rare Czech Benoni. The daily Quiz was Gruenberg-Dory (see right). It is Black to move. Can you find Black's next move? The answer is at the end of the issue.
