If you have read through my previous game with him, In the Dentist's Chair, you will see that although he has a low rating, underestimate him at your peril. If you look in my annotated game which I have called Fool's Paradise, this game thoroughly emphasises the folly and the danger of leaving the Fool's Mate diagonal unprotected and allowing a damaging queen check on h4. The dentist's opponent, who had a rating more than 300 points north of him, was pulverised in just TWELVE MOVES!! In fact white could have resigned after just FOUR MOVES. How often do you see this kind of thing happen? Well, today is Friday so I hope you all have a nice weekend. Cheers and bye for now. Joanne

Chess news: Carlsen charges on -- Magnus Carlsen is knocking on Vishy Anand’s door after another win at the Aerosvit chess tournament, sponsored by the Ukrainian airline and staged in the Crimean resort of Foros. If the chess rating list were to be published now, Carlsen’s string of five victories in seven games have gained him so many rating points he would be almost level with Anand, the world chess champion and world number one. The seventeen year old Norwegian chess prodigy already leads the tournament by two clear points. The chess players visited the town of Balaklava on the rest day and Carlsen returned apparently more refreshed and more inspired than his opponent Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu of ... Aronian speeds to victory -- Levon Aronian the Armenian number one was able to record another Rapid Chess triumph in his home city of Yerevan as he overhauled Peter Leko on the final day of the Karen Asrian Memorial. The chess event was renamed following Asrian’s sudden death at the age of 28 just hours before play was due to start. The Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian officiated at the closing ceremony and declared that the chess event will continue to keep the memory of Asrian, who won a gold medal playing for Armenian at the 2006 Chess Olympiad, alive. It’s hard to imagine a senior British politician turning up at a UK chess tournament and making such a speech but in Armenia chess has the status of ... Shirov's costly blunders -- While Magnus Carlsen coasts to chess tournament victory at Foros, Alexey Shirov is suffering. Shirov’s play has been highly creative but in several games, at critical moments he has blundered. Shirov started with 2/2 but has since garnered just three draws from seven games and is languishing near the bottom of the table. We saw his remarkable attack against Sergey Karjakin on Monday but even there he might have won rather than drawn. Carlsen’s stellar performance aside, he leads by 1.5 points with two to play, the Ukrainians are doing well on home soil and outperforming the Russians. Aerosvit scores: 1 Carlsen (Norway) 7 / 9; 2 Eljanov (Ukraine) ...
