FACEBOOK: facebook.com TWITTER: twitter.com MYSPACE: myspace.com This video analyzes the Round 10 game of the World Chess Championship match of 1972 between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky. A slow strategical struggle shows itself in the middlegame with both players fighting in the center. One specific pawn advance by black sets off a chain reaction of exchanges, resulting in an unbalanced endgame. Internet Chess Club (ICC) chessclub.com

Certainly understandable for HIkaru, as he is making a very serious bid to contend for the World Championship in the coming years and the top players in the US simply are not rated high enough for him to be able to raise his rating. To explain the basic format and details of this year’s event – it is taking place between April 15-28 in St. Louis, Missouri.

The US Championship has been changing the format of the tournament for the past few years, hoping to stimulate more interest. Personally, I like the current format (although it is somewhat confusing!) because the semi-finals …
