Gollum Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 China beats Russia In the traditional match between China and Russia the Chinese celebrated a double victory and confirmed their status as a new chess superpower. The Chinese men won 14-11, and the Chinese women, who were nominally weaker than the Russian women, had a strong finish and won 15-10. The Russian men were without Kramnik, Grischuk, Karjakin, Nepo and Moro, so they never really had any chance against the Chinese men. But to see the Russian women(3 continuous Olympiad golds !!!) so thoroughly outclassed by China (without Hou,Zhao and Wenjun) was surprising. http://en.chessbase.com/post/china-beats-russia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Historic Chess Footage Revealed As AP, Movietone Launch YouTube Channels The Associated Press and British Movietone have released many, many hours of their old footage to the web, and there's a good deal of chess footage included. 1. Jose Raul Capablanca & Salo Flohr giving a simul. 2. Boris Spassky interviewed after losing the 1972 match to Bobby Fischer. 3. Anatoly Karpov giving a simul in 1977; opponents include a very young Nigel Short. 4. A long (14 minute) report on the then-ongoing world championship match between Karpov and Viktor Korchnoi in Baguio City in 1978. There are some mistakes made by the commentators; for instance, at one point they refer to Korchnoi as having a 4-2 lead, when in fact it was the other way around. 5. Footage of Tigran Petrosian and Boris Spassky, from their first world championship match in 1966. 6. Also from the great (chess) year of 1966: footage from the Havana Olympiad, including the draw between Fischer and Spassky. 7. More Spassky: six minutes or so of footage from Hastings 1965/66. Spassky went +6 but only tied for first with Wolfgang Uhlmann, a point and a half ahead of Vasiukov and two points in front of Gligoric and Pfleger. 8. More Hastings: the next year's event featured Mikhail Botvinnik (who won with 6.5/9) and a very young Henrique Mecking; Uhlmann came in second this time http://www.chess.com/news/historic-chess-footage-revealed-as-ap-movietone-launch-youtube-channels-3065 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
