International chess super tournament dedicated to the memory of the great Russian chess player, fourth World chess champion A. A. Alekhine will take place in two biggest museums – the Louvre (Paris) and the Russian Museum (Saint-Petersburg).

The distinguished pianist has selected a programme of works for the Alekhine Memorial by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff. Mr Lugansky believes there are a number of parallels between Rachmaninoff's career and the fate of Russia's first World Chess Champion.

Vadim Repin, one of the world’s most famous and popular musicians, will give a concert at the opening of the Alekhine Memorial Chess Super-Tournament, which will take place on 20 April in Paris.

On Friday Norwegian media reported that five names are known already. Besides Magnus Carlsen himself, confirmed participants are said to be Levon Aronian, Vladimir Kramnik, Vishy Anand and Wang Hao. The players will be fighting for a € 100,000 first prize.

Besides the new tournament in May, Norway will also host the next World Cup and Olympiad, in 2013 and 2014 respectively, both in Tromsø.

World Women's Team Chess Championship without Kosintseva Sisters http://pogonina.com/

The information that was previously available only to the members of the team and the Russian Chess Federation officials has been made public. In today's interview chief coach of the Russian chess teams Evgeny Bareev announced that the Kosintseva sisters won't be playing for Russia in March at the World Women's Team Chess Championship. According to him, they gave an ultimatum: replace women's chess team captain Sergey Rublevsky, or they are not taking part. While the sisters have not provided the exact reason for this demand, Sergey himself mentioned to Evgeny that it might have to do with him acting overemotionally after the match with Ukraine and trying to "shake up" the team. GM Bareev said that the sisters were asked to explain their position in writing, and after that a final decision will be made.

As a result, the training session before the WWTC will be attended by Natalia Pogonina, Alexandra Kosteniuk, Valentina Gunina, Olga Girya, Anastasia Bodnaruk and Alexandra Goryachkina. All of them, except Anastasia Bodnaruk, are expected to play at the WWTC.

When asked why Alisa Galliamova is not being considered, Evgeny mentioned that she is often reluctant to travel (afraid of traveling by plane - Pogonina.com) and has basically given up on chess, playing very rarely ("once in half a year"). Hence, inviting her is risky.

"I would like to see a battleworthy team in Astana, in which the younger girls won't be feeling lost. Olga Girya played at the Chess Olympiad in 2010, but for the second team. Sasha Goryachkina is lacking even such an experience. Meanwhile, the first team performance is very important, it provides emotions for the rest of the life. Other three girls are winners, they know how to play and to succeed. If the experienced girls support the youngsters, we should be able to finish in the top-3", - says Evgeny Bareev.

"It is sad that a compromise hasn't been reached between the two sides. Obviously, the Russian team will be much weaker without Nadezhda and Tatiana. Also, unfortunately, the interview published at RCF website is a turning point after which there is no way back. Now it will be harder to work out a mutually acceptable solution. If Sergey Rublevsky steps down, he will be considered a loser, and the RCF's reputation will be stained. If the sisters agree to play under his leadership, they will be be regarded as people who have given up on their beliefs. Overall, the situation is disappointing and difficult to handle. In terms of the nearest future, Alexandra, Natalia and Valentina are strong enough to potentially perform well on the first three boards. The younger players have their chance of a lifetime to shine and prove that they are worthy of playing for the strongest chess nation in the world. We will see what happens and wish them good luck", - comments Pogonina.com editor Peter Zhdanov.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and Head of the Russian Chess Federation Arkady Dvorkovich tweeted to Natalia Pogonina: "We have done everything we could to make sure they do play. I don't understand why they refuse to play for Russia..."

AICF-KIIT Cup International Category Women Chess Championship

Russian WGM Girya Olga maintained her lead at the end of the 3rd round in the AICF-KIIT Cup Women Chess Chp here at Bhubaneswar. Olga and IM Nisha Mohota of India were involved in a theoretical battle from the Slav defense.Nisha approached the game positively facing an opponent of 100 Elo points by winning a pawn as early as 12^th move.Olga accepted the challenge and entered complications, but when the smoke cleared it was a good old draw from the Rook and pawn endgame. Like the game against Qi in previous round , Nisha’s extra pawn was not productive and the game ended in 47 moves.

Similar ending with rooks were seen in both Eesha – Danielian & Swathi Ghate – Paehtz game. GM Danielian accepted the pawn in queen’s gambit and defended actively. Eesha opened up the files for her major pieces to end up with a drawish rook endgame in 56 moves.

Meanwhile IM Elizabeth Paehtz won her first game of the championship by capitalizing on the not so ambitious play by Swathi. The German chose to castle in the opposite from the black side of the closed Italian. For Paehtz it worked well when the endgame came to limelight her queen side pawns were quick enough to move on supported by the two rooks . When things were going tough , Swathi made a blunder losing a pawn and resigned immediately.

Armenian IM Lilit Mkrtchyan utilised the blunder of a knight by Qi Guo who overlooked an intermediate move on the 21st turn. Until then Qi was doing well with black pieces but succumbed to material deficit and resigned on the 39th move.

In a interesting dual between Orissa talents WGM Padmini Rout and Kiran Manisha Mohanty , the former surprised her opponent with a rare Sicilian defense. Neverthless Kiran had a tight grip over the position until 25th move. Padmini’s knight movement to d2 square exchanging one of the two bishops brought Kiran to earth. Later Padmini increased to a two pawn advantage forced resignation in 50 moves.

IM Cristina once again involved in the last game to finish but was determined to go with a win, did she , against WGM Mary Ann Gomes of India. Coasting along the book lines of the English opening, Mary unwisely gave the control of c file to the Romanian IM and also a pawn on the 30th move. Thereafter Cristina played to perfection in the Rook and Bishop ending to pocket a point.
