January on uschess.org < Hikaru in Corus
Our U.S. champion, GM Hikaru Nakamura, will be playing in the "A" group of Corus (Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands, January 15-31) this year. His opponents will include World Champion GM Anand and current top gun 2800+ GM Magnus Carlsen, who Nakamura defeated recently in a blitz chess match. GM Ian Rogers will report from the scene.
Chess stars: they’re just like us!
The U.S. is sponsored this year by the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of St, Louis on their trip to the World Team Championship, January 3-14 in Bursa, Turkey. The squad consists of GMs Nakamura, Onischuk, Shulman (right), Akobian and Hess. IM Donaldson will captain. See CLO for updates including blogs!
Nominations for Best of CLO
In January, we’ll countdown the ten best articles of 2009 so you can catch up on some of the timeless web pieces you may have missed. Nominees for best articles include stories by GM Pascal Charbonneau, GM Josh Friedel, FM Mike Klein, WFMs Abby Marshall and Elizabeth Vicary.
