ChessVibes on tour - next stop Mainz
| 17.08.2007 - The website www.chessvibes.com has become a very popular chess website, mainly due to the entertaining videos that can be viewed on the site. During the months May, June, July and August it’s ChessVibes on tour! Editor-in-chief Peter Doggers took the time to spend all his energy (and money) on the game of chess for four months. He did play many open tournaments throughout Europe and at the same time published many reports. On Wednesday Doggers arrived in Mainz and shot a very nice video about the FiNet Chess960 final between Levon Aronian and Vishy Anand.

Chess as a spectator’s sport
Aronian wins Chess960 World Championship in dramatic match against Anand
| | 17.08.2007 - When Vishy Anand and Levon Aronian sat down to play their four game match for the title of Chess960 World Champion it was hard to name a favorite. Both are excellent rapid and blitz players and though Aronian in contrast to Chess960 newcomer Anand has already shown his skills in this form of chess, most people thought Anand’s speed of chess thinking should make up for this. But everyone agreed that it would be a tough and exciting match. And they were right: The final of the FiNet Chess960 World Championship was packed with drama, mystery and fighting chess.

Tigers on the Stage
Anand and Aronian Qualify for Final in FiNet Chess960 Rapid World Championship
| | 15.08.2007 - If you looked closely at the pictures from the first day of the FiNet Chess960 Rapid World Championship you may have discovered the tiger on stage and maybe wondered what it was doing there. A reminder that the Chess Classic Mainz are organized by the Chesstigers? A tribute to Vishy Anand, nine times winner of Mainz and nicknamed “Tiger of Madras”? Something to do with the children’s tournament? None of the above. Today a second tiger joined the first and it turned out that they simply count the number of tournament days. But they could also be seen as a symbol for the strong performances of Anand and Aronian. more... |

Aronian Shines on First Day of Chess960 FiNet World Championship
| | 14.08.2007 - When Freddy Mercury declares to be one of a group of champions, the top players in Mainz know that things are starting to get serious. Traditionally, in Mainz the famous Queen-song signals the beginning of the round: The players go on stage, sit down to study the – this time unknown – position and the hall is darkened. The spectators fall silent to focus on the games shown on two huge screens towering above the stage.
