If you want to win the World Open, it might take you

seven days. Or three... make that two. Evgeny Najer and

Hikaru akamura took very different paths to arrive at the

winner's circle ahead of thirty-two other hungry grand

masters. Joel Benjamin tells the story.

Shabalov and Corrales Shared First in Sao Paulo 84

This year's American Continental Championship, held

in Sao Paulo, boasted 268 participants, including 27 GMs

and 30 IMs. In absolute numbers it was a record, as FIDE

had allowed the participation of many low-rated and even

unrated players, a decision that was not welcomed by eve

rybody. If in previous editions 8'12 or even 8 points out of

I I were needed, this year Alex Shabalov and Fidel Cor-

rales had to score an impressive 9 points to share the high-

est prizes.

Beyond the Illusion of 'Talent'

Talent is a word we easily use to describe extraordinary

players. 'But, when you take away demographic fortune,

deliberate practice, opportunities to gain feedback, social

and parental support and cultural legacies, what is left of

talent?' Jonathan Rowson wonders.

In the Style of Tal and Fischer

Jan Timman presents highlights from the Dutch Open,

where the world's youngest grandmaster Anish Giri was

the crowd-puller. The highly gifted youngster also proves

to be a consummate annotator.
