Joe Renna has posted photos of the Kenilworth Chess Club in a very nice Picasa web album.

7 games from last night’s Garden State League matches have been uploaded. Links can be found on the league’s blog.

5 games from the recently concluded Sy Fish Memorial have been uploaded in java-replay and zipped PGN.

Sorry for the week-long delay. Getting Kenilworth’s teams organized & the GSCL site finished took priority.

Readers in Belgium, Sweden and the United States have posed questions to the
Editor of Chess Notes
about the accuracy of certain published game-scores involving such luminaries
as Bogoljubow, Fine, Réti and Tartakower. Some detective work was called for,
but would it prove possible in each case to piece together what really happened over the board?

In the final round, while we all were still asleep here in Europe, Magnus Carlsen scored a parting victory over Russian GM Dmitry Jakovenko. The other two games were drawn, which left the young Norwegian an unprecedented two and a half points ahead of the field. In the next rating list Carlsen will join the elite group (of just four players) who have crossed 2800. Full illustrated report.
