I have challenged Team Britain from my home country to an 11-a-side match, as a sort of appetiser for the forthcoming football world cup which is due to be held in South Africa shortly. Our opponents are already filling up their spaces so we need to do the same. Please note that I intend to sit it out on the sidelines for this match unless we are short of players but if I need to call myself for duty it will be to play for our International team against my home country The match can be found HERE

Nakamura Wins Tata Steel 2011 Submitted by SonofPearl on Sun, 01/30/2011 at 10:54pm. Hikaru Nakamura has won the 2011 Tata Steel tournament, surely the best tournament result from an American since Bobby Fischer graced the 64 squares many decades ago. In the best result of his career, Nakamura finished with a tremendous +5 score, beating a world class field which included the top four ranked players in the world; Carlsen, Anand, Aronian and Kramnik. Quoted at the official website, Nakamura gave his reaction: “I was sort of jumping up and down around the room. I was so happy. Winning a tournament is always nice but winning an elite tournament like this is something completely different. I cannot remember the last time an American won a major tournament. I hope my victory will make for greater interest in chess back home in the States.” “I have become more serious about chess. No more 2.Qh5, no more crazy openings for me. My results have improved. Hopefully, I can keep it going. I hope to break 2800 by the end of this year,” In the final round Nakamura achieved an early draw against Wang Hao, which left Vishy Anand trying to win his game against Nepomniachtchi to share first place. However, Nepo managed to establish an unusual blockade to keep Anand at bay and ensure the Indian had to settle for second place. With all the other Group A games also ending all-square, Carlsen and Aronian finished with a share of third place in what has been an event filled with lots of fighting chess in all three groups. Luke McShane drew a hard fought final round game with co-leader Navara and is the winner of Group B by virtue of a superior tie-break score. Both McShane and Navara will be invited to participate in the A Group next year. In Group C, Daniele Vocaturo also held on in a thrilling game with leadership rival Illya Nyzhnyk to earn the draw he needed to claim first place and an invite to Group B in 2012. Nakamura won €10,000 euros for first place in the A Group, which seems a rather modest reward for his efforts but all the players also receive appearance money (the amounts are not disclosed). Mcshane and Navara share €5,500 and Vocaturo gets €1,000. Nakamura earns a final round draw against Wang Hao... http://www.chess.com/news/nakamura-wins-tata-steel-2011-8687

The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the five Nobel Prizes bequeathed by the Swedish industrialist and inventor Alfred Nobel. According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize should be awarded to the person who:“ during the preceding year [...] shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses. ”Alfred Nobel's will stated that the prize should be awarded by a committee of five people elected by the Norwegian Parliament.Nobel died in 1896 and did not leave an explanation for choosing peace as a prize category. The categories for chemistry and physics were obvious choices as he was a trained chemical engineer. The reason behind the peace prize is less clear. According to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, there's significant evidence his friendship with Bertha von Suttner, a peace activist and later winner of the prize, may have profoundly influenced his decision to include peace as a category. Scholars who studied Nobel have said it was Nobel's way to compensate for developing destructive forces (Nobel's inventions included dynamite and ballistite). None of his explosives, except for ballistite, were used in any war during his lifetime, although the Irish Republican Brotherhood, an Irish nationalist organization, did carry out dynamite attacks in the 1880s and he was instrumental in turning Bofors from an iron company to an armaments company whilst he owned it. It is also unclear why Nobel wished the Peace Prize to be administered in Norway, which was ruled in union with Sweden at the time of Nobel's death. The Norwegian Nobel Committee speculates that Nobel may have considered Norway better suited to awarding the prize as it did not have the same militaristic traditions as Sweden. It also notes that at the end of the nineteenth century, the Norwegian parliament had become closely involved in the Inter-Parliamentary Union's efforts to resolve conflicts through mediation and arbitration .
