The Kenilworth Kramniks have been awarded a forfeit win on board 4 & a 3-1 victory in Monday’s match vs. Summit because their opponents used an ineligible player.

Kenilworth Chess Club Champion Yaacov Norowitz will lecture tonight on “Color Complexes” (a.k.a. “square strategy“) at the club.  Admission is $5.  This topic was touched upon in his previous lecture (which was very well received) on the Stonewall Attack.  I will be attending and recommend it to everyone.

The rampage of the top seed Magnus Carlsen continues. The 19-year-old Norwegian scored another convincing victory, this time over Luke McShane, to take the lead. Vladimir Kramnik came back from his first-round loss (to Carlsen) with a win over Chinese GM Ni Hua. The other two games were drawn. A report on the game will follow, here for now is Magnus’ blog entry and
pictures from round two.
