Earth shattering blunder !

Kramnik will hit the healines tomorrow after his second game vs Deep Fritz : "When the best among the best stumbles like a newbie" or "Kramnik claims the blunder of the century "...
Could you imagine a World Chess Champion forgetting a mate in ONE move ?
Will he get over his blunder in the match man vs machine ?

Have a look , White to move !

Short but Sweet

Caro Kann players should know that neglecting the e6 square could be lethal . Here's a nice example :
1) e4 c6 2) d4 d5 3) Nc3 de4 4) Bc4 Nf6 5) f3 ef3 6) Nf3 Nbd7 7) 0-0 Qc7 8) Ng5 e6 9) Be6 fe6 10) Ne6 Qb6 11) Qe2 Kf7 12) Ng5 Kg6 13) Qd3 1-0

Keep a straight face

Do you remember"elista 2006" ? A new World Champion , The bathroom gate ... What else ?










It looks weird, isn't it?
How could it be possible to dream up such a mascot for a world championship ?

Look like a Rook ?

Fearless King !

It's quite simple : White is much better .
Black has just played 27) ...Kd5
Do you foresee what could happen after 28)Nc3 Kxd4 ?
