The 15th Amber Rapid and Blindfold tournament, featuring some of the top players in the world, is underway in Monaco. After yesterday's eighth round, Vishy Anand of India led the rapid event with 6 points; Russia's Alexander Morozevich dominated the blindfold competition with 6 1/2 points. The tournament concludes Thursday.
Sometimes you wonder how much the players see when they are not allowed to look at the pieces. It is a pure joy to watch the Ukrainian veteran grandmaster Vassily Ivanchuk conduct his attack against the Dutch champion Loek Van Wely.
It is simple, effective and elegant. It is also a primer on how to strike with the English Attack against the Sicilian defense.
