Chance of cyclone near Halifax, Nova Scotia down to 10 percent
By Soma Das in Bangalore | Reuters – 8 hrs ago
(Reuters) - A low-pressure system about 300 miles south southeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia now has a low 10 percent chance of becoming a cyclone in the next 48 hours, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Friday, down from 40 percent earlier. Shower activity associated with the low pressure system continued to decrease and the low is becoming associated with a frontal system, the NHC said in its latest report. If the system develops into a storm, it would be named Maria. Tropical cyclones become named tropical storms when their winds exceed 39 miles per hour (63 km/h) and become hurricanes when their winds reach more than 74 mph (119 km/h).

Typhoon Talas dumps rain on southern Japan
AP – 1 hr 49 mins ago
TOKYO (AP) — Slow-moving Typhoon Talas dumped heavy rain across a wide swath of Japan on Saturday, reportedly killing one person and leaving five others missing. The Japan Meteorological Agency said the center of the typhoon, the 12th of the season, was moving north across the southern island of Shikoku at less than 6 miles (10 kilometers) per hour. Because of the storm's slow speed, the agency warned of heavy rain and strong winds centered in south-central Japan that could lead to flooding and landslides. Kyodo News agency said 3,200 people were evacuated in 16 prefectures. A woman who appeared to be in her 30s died after she was found in a river in Ehime prefecture, in southern Japan, public broadcaster NHK and Kyodo said. They also said a 75-year-old woman was missing after she was swept away in a swollen river in Shikoku's Tokushima prefecture, but police could not immediately confirm either report. (This version corrects to say 75-year-old woman was reported missing, not dead.)

Tropical Storm Lee's outer bands pelt Gulf Coast
By JANET MCCONNAUGHEY - Associated Press | AP – 48 mins ago
Tropical storm warning flags were flying from Mississippi to Texas and flash flood warnings extended along the Alabama coast into the Florida Panhandle. The storm's slow forward movement means that its rain clouds should have more time to disgorge themselves on any cities in their path. The storm was expected to make landfall on the central Louisiana coast late Saturday and turn east toward New Orleans, where it would provide the biggest test of rebuilt levees since Hurricane Gustav struck on Labor Day 2008. Still, residents didn't expect the tropical storm to live up to the legacy of some of the killer hurricanes that have hit the city. "It's a lot of rain. It's nothing, nothing to Katrina," said Malcolm James, 59, a federal investigator in New Orleans who lost his home after levees broke during Katrina in August 2005 and had to be airlifted by helicopter. "This is mild," he said. "Things could be worse." The outer bands of Lee, the 12th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, began dumping rain over southeastern Louisiana, southern Mississippi and Alabama on Friday. By the evening, 2 1/2 inches of rain had fallen in some places on the Gulf Coast, including Boothville, La., and Pascagoula, Miss. In New Orleans, rainfall totals ranged from less than an inch to slightly over 2 inches, depending on the neighborhood. The coming storm began washing out Labor Day weekend festivities, with cancelations of parades and other events in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, Ala. In Louisiana, programming was canceled at state parks and historic sites in the southern part of the state. Merchants worried the storm would dampen the Southern Decadence festival, an annual gay lifestyle fixture that rings cash registers on Labor Day weekend. Ann Sonnier, shift manager of Jester's bar, said receipts were disappointing so far. "People are probably scared to death to come here after Katrina," she said. Some tourists were caught off guard by Lee, but didn't let it dampen their spirits. "I didn't even know about it," said Kyla Holley of Madison, Wis., who along with husband Rob was in town for the Labor Day weekend holiday. "But it wouldn't have stopped us from coming." Lee comes less than a week after Hurricane Irene killed more than 40 people from North Carolina to Maine and knocked out power to millions. It was too soon to tell if Hurricane Katia, out in the Atlantic, could endanger the U.S. The storm's biggest impact, so far, has been in the Gulf of Mexico oil fields. About half the Gulf's normal daily oil production has been cut as rigs were evacuated, though oil prices were down sharply Friday on sour economic news. Federal authorities said 169 of the 617 staffed production platforms have been evacuated, along with 16 of the 62 drilling rigs. That's reduced daily production by about 666,000 barrels of oil and 1.7 billion cubic feet of gas. The National Hurricane Center said the center of Lee was about 170 miles (275 km) west-southwest of the mouth of the Mississippi River on Friday and moving north at just 5 mph (7 kph). Forecasters say that Lee's maximum sustained winds had increased slightly by early Saturday morning to 50 mph (80 kph), and could get stronger. Governors in Louisiana and Mississippi, as well as the mayor of New Orleans, declared states of emergency. Officials in several coastal Louisiana and Mississippi communities called for voluntary evacuations. The Army Corps of Engineers was closing floodgates along the Harvey Canal, a commercial waterway in suburban New Orleans, but had not moved to shut a massive flood structure on the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet shipping channel. The MRGO was a major conduit for Katrina's storm surge, which overwhelmed levees and flooded St. Bernard and the city's Lower 9th Ward. City officials said they expect some street flooding but no levee problems. Lee's storm surge, projected around 4 to 5 feet, is far short of the 20-feet-plus driven by Katrina. Billions of federal dollars have been spent on new levees and other flood protection. The water-logged Lee was tantalizingly close to Texas but hopes dimmed for relief from the state's worst drought since the 1950s as the storm's forecast track shifted east. Forecasters said it could bring drenching rains to Mississippi and Alabama early next week. On the Mississippi coast, tourism officials said there was no spike in cancellations for the holiday weekend at hotels and casinos. On Grand Isle, Louisiana's only inhabited barrier island, people kept an eye on the storm that was already bringing rain there. It's not as frightening as having a Category 2 or 3 hurricane bearing down, said June Brignac, owner of the Wateredge Beach Resort. "But we're still concerned with all the rain that's coming in, causing possible flooding of the highway going out. If we don't leave, we may be trapped here until it's completely past," she said. The rain, however, had a silver lining. In New Orleans, it was helping to tamp down a stubborn marsh fire that for several days has sent pungent smoke wafting across the area. Southern Louisiana needs rain — just not that much, that fast. "Sometimes you get what you ask for," New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said. "Unfortunately it looks like we're going to get more than we needed."

Weltcup-Aus für Daniel Fridman
02.09.2011 Sein oder nicht sein? - Das war auch für Daniel Fridman die alles entscheidende Frage im Tiebreak... Der Weltcup-Modus ist brutal. Nach einem 1:1 in den klassischen zwei Partien, folgen vier im Schnellschach (zunächst 25 Minuten plus 10 Sekunden pro Zug, dann wird die Basiszeit auf 10 Minuten verkürzt), und wenn dann noch keine Entscheidung gefallen ist, wird maximal dreimal geblitzt. Am heutigen Freitag hieß es in Chanty Mansijsk an 13 Brettern für 26 Großmeister also frei nach dem großen englischen Dramatiker William Shakespeare "Sein oder nicht sein?" Und zu jenen, die sich dieser überlebenswichtigen Frage in Runde 2 des 4. FIDE-Weltcups stellen mussten, gehörte auch unser einziger deutscher Teilnehmer Daniel Fridman, der zunächst mit Weiß gegen Schachrijar Mamedjarow beginnen musste...

Disappointment for the English whose only representative Michael Adams was eliminated by Peter Heine Nielsen. Photo © | http://chess.ugrasport.com
Sergey Karjakin defeats Wesley So
Sergey Karjakin beat Wesley So. Photo © FIDE World Cup Khanty Mansiysk 2011 Website Sergey Karjakin eventually got past Wesley So by winning the second rapid game with white. Karjakin comfortably equalised with black in a Catalan in game one. Karjakin surprised Wesley So in game two of the rapid with 16.Bd3 in the Caro-Kann advanced variation. This move was first played in Motylev-Drozdovskij game four a game missed by So but not by Karjakin who is now being helped by Motylev. Karjakin himself didn't think the choice of line by So was a good one anyhow as black can only really hope for a draw. He quickly achieved a big advantage and converted.

Position after 16.Bd3
Wesley So didn't see the second rapid game between Motylev and Drozdovskij where this improvement was played first. Motylev is Karjakin's second so he did know of it. White is slightly better but it is difficult to win if black plays accurately. Karjakin wouldn't play such a line just to fight for a draw, he doesn't see any reason to do that. 16...Rfd8 [16...Qb8 17.g3 Rd8 18.Be4 Ngxe5 19.Nxe5 Qxe5 20.Qxb7 Qxe4 21.Qxc6 Qxc6 22.Rxc6 a5 23.Rfc1 Kf8 24.Kf1 Ke8 25.Ke2 a4 26.Rb6 Rdb8 27.Rxb8+ Rxb8 28.Bd4 f6 29.Rc4 e5 30.Bc3 a3 31.b3 Kd7 32.Kd3 Ke6 33.f3 f5 34.Ra4 Rd8+ 35.Kc2 Rc8 36.Kd3 Rd8+ 37.Kc2 Rc8 38.Kd3 Rd8+ 39.Kc2 1/2-1/2 Motylev,A (2685)-Drozdovskij,Y (2614)/ Khanty-Mansiysk RUS Game 4.] 17.Rfd1 Bf8 18.g3 Rd7 [18...Ngxe5 19.Nxe5 Qxe5 20.Qxb7 Nb4 21.Bb1 Qxb2 22.Qe4 g6 23.Bd4 is the tactical point. 23...Qa3 24.Qe5] 19.Be4 Rxd1+ 20.Rxd1 Rc8 [20...Ngxe5 21.Nxe5 Nxe5 22.Bf4 is very unpleasant for black to play.] 21.Kg2 and there is no check on f3 in some lines. 21...Na5 Clearly now white is better.

He remarked that Mamedyarov was probably not in his best shape, coughing all the time, and wondered if that might be affecting his play. Ruslan Ponomariov eventually won his way past Ni Hua but only after a long struggle. The two 25 minute games were drawn, the first with Ni as white briefly, the second after 114 moves where at first Ponomariov had a significant edge and then later Ni took the initiative. I don't know if it was winning for Ni but it was certainly an exhausting battle. The first 10m+10spm game was won by Ponomariov. At first he missed a clear win but didn't make any mistake at the second time of asking.

I don't like this move very much but maybe white has good pressure against the king anyhow. b4 with complications was possible. 16.exf6 gxf6 17.Re1 Qd6 18.Nh2?! missing a direct win. [18.Bxh7+ Kxh7 19.Ng5+ fxg5 20.Qh5+] 18...Rf7 19.Ng4 Kh8? The losing move. [19...Bf8 20.Nh5 f5] 20.Nh6 and now white is winning. 20...Rg7 21.Nh5 e5 22.Nxg7 Kxg7 23.Qh5 Be6 24.Nf5+ Bxf5 25.Bxf5 1-0
The second game in which Ni Hua was white lost the initiative in the opening but was somewhat let back in as Ponomariov played for a draw. However black was better for most of the rest of the game but Ponomariov was lost for one move when he allowed an unusual tactic which would have won the exchange. His 36....Bc5 allowed Rf4 which forced the exchange of rooks and allowed Ni to hit Ponomariov's rook and threaten a fork picking up a bishop. After that was missed Ponomariov secured qualification easily enough.

Finally with the help of Alexander Grischuk we get to see the back of Sebastien Feller. Photo © FIDE World Cup Khanty Mansiysk 2011 Website Alexander Grischuk just brushed asided Sebastian Feller in the rapid games playoff. What I like about Grischuk is that he doesn't concentrate on the opening but instead wants positions that allows both players to play chess. Indeed I think he likes being under pressure and challenged by his opponents. Whether you like the idea that because of his confidence in rapid and blitz chess he is prepared to take very short draws is definitely a matter of taste however. Certainly he got a lot of criticism in the Candidates for doing this. But the format actually encourages it. In the case of the Candidates his opponents were much better at theory than him (especially Kramnik) and that virtually forced the strategy on him.

Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son had a small edge as white in game one of his rapid againt Peter Svidler but the game eventually traded down to a drawn rook ending. Peter Svidler blew a decisive advantage in the second game and looked so upset I thought he had been eliminated (note to self covering two major events at the same time, the Botvinnik Memorial was also under way, is impossible).

Bu Xiangzhi beat Maxime Vachier-Lagrave to be the only Chinese player left in the event. He pointed out that the Chinese players have had a large number of events so far this year, which I also have noted, Bu himself took a rest from some of these. Bu said that he thought he should have lost the first game with black. The second game with white was a complicated position where Bu had an extra pawn but Vachier had enough compensation. Later in the endgame Vachier started to go wrong in time trouble allowing Bu to progress. Checking this game it was balanced until 59...Kh5 which loses because it can no longer come across to protect the queen. Although the remaining moves had a very random feel about them too. Igor Lysyj finally beat Alexander Ivanov when the latter weakened in the second rapid game 30...Rxe2 losing the initiative instead of something like 30...Bf5 was the turning point and Ivanov resigned 12 moves later. Alexander Moiseenko against Ernesto Inarkiev. Photo © FIDE World Cup Khanty Mansiysk 2011 Website There is no bigger heart-breaker than going from a win to a loss in one move. Ernesto Inarkiev went astray in a full blooded clash with Alexander Moiseenko. Here he needs to threaten mate. Instead taking the passive rook leads quickly to a lost position.

There was less trauma in the second game where Moiseenko kept the advantage throughout until his opponent resigned the game and match. Although Peter Heine Nielsen is a well known player it was a bit of a surprise he elimimated Michael Adams. Photo © FIDE World Cup Khanty Mansiysk 2011 Website Michael Adams was eliminated by Peter Heine Nielsen when he lost a Sicilian as white in the second game of the rapid playoff. The players attacked kings castled on opposite sides of the board. Adams too had the advantage with black in the first rapid game (at least until the final 23...Rc4 which may have been accompanied with a draw offer) and commentator Konstantin Landa said that the chess gods tend to pay you back for not making the most of your chances, or at least trying to exploit them. Ian Nepomniachtchi won an interesting game as black in a Gruenfeld against Alexander Riazantsev but only in an ending where he started with the smallest of advantages. He then drew the second game in an Exchange French but only having to work hard for 55 moves. Anton Fillipov against Etienne Bacrot. Photo © FIDE World Cup Khanty Mansiysk 2011 Website Etienne Bacrot admitted he was lucky and that "Yesterday I was super-lucky." as he went through 2-0 against Anton Filippov. In the first game Filippov as doing fine until he blundered his position away on move 35. Filippov's Nimzowitsch-Larsen Open gave Bacrot the advantage for easy qualification.

I will certainly be looking out for Ruben Felgaer's games after an interesting World Cup. Photo © FIDE World Cup Khanty Mansiysk 2011 Website Ruben Felgaer has made quite a few fans in his short stay at the World Cup. I was sorry to see him eliminated by Yaroslav Zherebukh. But as he said in the press conference "Today I play quite badly, after losing the first game with black I could not recover."
