I will broadcast the top 20 matches live for each of the Open and Women's event.(update every minute) the viewer I use isn't much use for any more, the full compilation file will update every 15 minutes. I hope this file will be the best available with good structure to the PGN and good checking procedures. I won't display it on this page, again the size of the file makes it fairly pointless with this viewer. Read more ....

Clutch Chess: The Legends was a match between Garry Kasparov and Veselin Topalov held over three days at the Saint Louis Chess Club. The games were Chess960. There were two time controls: Rapid (Games 1, 2, 5, 6, 9 and 10) 25+10spm and Blitz (3, 4, 7, 8, 11 and 12) 5m+3spm. The Clutch Chess is all about the scoring; day one has a normal score, day 2 has double day 1 and day 3 is triple day one, the idea being that there is a building excitement. There was also bonus money, up to $24,000 that rolled over to the final two games if there was a draw. I cannot currently display Chess960 games, Topalov won the match 16-8, The rapid portion saw Topalov win a rapid game on day one and Kasparov on day 3, the rest were drawn. Topalov won 5 of the 6 blitz games only losing one, on the first day. Read more ....
