Play online chess		 Subject: Novice Nook # 67

Wow, it's been a while since I turned to the Dan Heisman articles. Job intensity, home life, and even OTB tournaments. I just finished a month-long tournament for the Denver Chess Club championship. I scored two wins, a draw and a loss, all against players rated 300 points or more higher than me. In fact, the two wins were against players rated 600 and 500 points higher! I don't attribute it all to the NN articles, but certainly some of the DH reading I've been doing has helped.

Topalov, 35, a former world chess champion who was ranked No. 1 in the world as recently as 14 months ago, has seen his ranking slide to No. 5. His manager, Silvio Danailov, said in a recent interview that Topalov married a few months ago and was “enjoying life a little bit,” adding, “He is not motivated to play chess tournaments right now.” Topalov may also be suffering from a sort of psychological hangover after losing a grueling world chess championship match in April and May to Viswanathan Anand. He has not really played well since. His latest setback occurred at the Ajedrez UNAM Quadrangular chess tournament in ...
