But I think, one major point in chess is creativity: to create a plan in a seemingly equal position, to get the idea where to attack in order to create weaknesses that can be exploited, to give problems to the opponent who is in a better position... How do you train your creativity in chess? |

There are still some big room for creativity for advanced levels. In my personal experiences, I would suggest you to try Go (Paduk, Wigo). It is a another board game demanding much more creativity for novice and intermediate players. We can say chess is a combat sim, but Go is a war sim. |

Chess news: Anand retains world chess title -- India's Viswanathan Anand has retained his FIDE World Chess Championship title by beating Russia's Vladimir Kramnik in the German city of Bonn. Anand won three games, drew seven times and lost once en route to winning the competition by 6.5 points to 4.5. He and Kramnik will share the total prize fund of 1.5m euros ($1.94m). Anand became FIDE world chess champion last year by winning a tournament in Mexico, where Kramnik was again runner-up. Anand first won the chess title in 2000. Kramnik, the Classical World Chess Champion, had competed in the 2007 World Chess Federation (FIDE) world championship with the understanding that if he lost, he would get a chance to ... Anand wins the World chess title again -- Viswanathan Anand has kept his tryst with chess history here on Wednesday. The much-needed draw against challenger Vladimir Kramnik in the eleventh game gave Anand a historic win (6.5-4.5) with white pieces in the most-widely followed World chess title match. Anand, winner of all the major chess titles in the game at least once in his illustrious international chess career spanning 25 years, now holds what appears to be an unbeatable record of having claimed the World chess title in three different formats. Anand won the title in 2000 in the now-discontinued 128-player knockout format. Last year, it was in the eight-player double round-robin format. Now Anand has ... Barden on chess -- Vlad Kramnik's late rally in Bonn took some of the gloss off Vishy Anand's 6.5-4.5 world chess championship victory. The Indian dominated the first half of the series but missed the chance to join the select few who have won the chess title without losing a game. He seemed to tire after game six, reviving the question raised by his recent Bilbao failure whether his chess career has peaked at age 38. History may judge Kramnik as one of the weaker chess champions. His claim to a more positive verdict rests largely on his London 2000 triumph over the all-time No1 Garry Kasparov. Since then he has scraped a tied series against Peter Leko, won the error-strewn Toiletgate series against Veselin Topalov, suffered ... | |
