ČEZ CHESS TROPHY 2011
Bobby Fischer and Mario Matous on Kampa island
[19.06.2011] - „Bobby Fischer!“ wrenched at my sleeve the world champion. We were returning from dinner to his hotel on Kampa and we met Bobby. He had a baseball cap, a big gray beard, neglected appearance and in his face he looked exactly like the eleventh world champion. I do not know if it was Bobby´s spirit or his double, a Prague´s homeless with a face of genius chess player. But we both saw him, me and Viswanathan Anand.
A few days later, during the lecture of chess magician Yochanan Afek I was unobtrusively observing a spectator on the edge of the second row. Again, an older man with a beard, bu... [all]

Safety above all
[18.06.2011] - Safe reflector and safe game are brief characteristics of the second day of the match of grandmasters David Navara vs. Sergey Movsesian.

He is heading home to India to his wife Aruna and a two-month son Akhil. Grandmaster Navara began with 1.d4, grandmaster Movsesian chose the Bogo-Indian Defence and got homework from David Navara to the end. Slovakia-Armenian grandmaster kept up and the game ended in a draw.
