Though the last 14 months produced two new champions, there have still been only 15 World chess champions, since the firs Judit Polgar reigns without a crown ``I think that chess is the type of game which belongs entirely to men. In a contest like chess one is trying to assert oneself, to prove the supremacy of one's own ego. Women have a different psychology.'' - Garry Kasparov Zhukova appears confident NEW DELHI, NOV. 25.

On Saturday 30th December the Nepal Government has stated that the entire controversy has been fired due to a blunder by the press. Hritik Roshan on his part had denied making any statements contrary to the integrity of Nepal or her people. Statements by his father Rakesh Roshan also made similar claims. Hritik's initial triumph over the success of Kaho Na Pyaar Hai was soured by the attempt at murder on his father Rakesh Roshan.

Extractions: AHMEDABAD, JANUARY 4: When Vishwanathan Anand was winning the World Chess Championship in Teheran recently, 298 children many of them yet to enter double figures were competing at the National Children's Chess Championship here. The distance wasn't much in geographical terms; in every other way, the distance couldn't have been greater. The good news from the tournament was the diversity of talent: The South was richly represented, as could be expected, but there were winners from Bihar, Rajasthan and even Manipur. The bad news? Given the low priority chess holds in these states, there's little to suggest that these winners have any future. Winning the world championship made Anand richer by $660,000; enough, perhaps, to take care of all the participants at the national meet for one year. Parents and guardians say the cost of bringing up a chess player is between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh every year. This includes coaches' charges (mostly Rs 100 per sitting), tournament appearance money, books and other periodicals and travel allowance. It's not a small sum of money and it's not easy to find.

Extractions: Queen Bee India's first Woman Grandmaster has the talent and temperament to go further By Amarnath K. Menon W oman Grandmaster: how illustrious is that? Advocates of politically correct speech may turn up their noses. "Woman" and "master" don't quite go together. Besides, the title is given in recognition of a woman achieving a high standard in a mindsport where, to be honest, there should be no gender distinction. But do chess buffs care? They know only the language of the chequered board and passionately argue that the WGM, as the title is popularly called, is another jewel added to the crown of Indian chess, one which has been too long coming. The only reason for such a long wait could be that women were traditionally not encouraged to excel in a game that involved outwitting a man across the board. Suddenly, one stroke from a petite 21-year-old has changed all that. Chennai-based Subbaraman Vijayalakshmi became the first Indian WGM this week, and now is trying to go where no other Indian woman player has gone before. The three-time National champion is only one victory away from becoming the first-ever Indian woman to win a men's International Master (IM) title, and it could come any time soon.

The Indian Grandmaster got a perfect Christmas and New Years gift as well as a slightly belated birthday gift for his 31st birthday when he defeated the desperate and reckless Spaniard Shirov. Anand had drawn the first game with black pieces and then won the next one with white. In the third game Anand registered another win with black, his first with the black pieces, in the Championships, and finally sealed the title with another win with white pieces. It was his sixth win in eight games with white pieces in these Championships. The only two players who avoided defeat when Anand had white in classical games were Khalifman and Michael Adams. The championship ended Anand's great quest for the World title. He also completed an incredible Grand Slam in the process. He had won the World Blitz Cup in Warsaw early this year and that was followed up with wins in the World rapids in Haifa and then the World Cup in Shenyang. The World Championships in New Delhi and Teheran completed an incredible year for Anand. It also ended years of Russian monopoly on the title.
