          <title>MTel R2: Ivanchuk beats Topalov</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
It was a wild and vicious game, one of the most enjoyable we have seen in a long time.

The other games were drawn. Full report with  commentary and videos.]]>

      <description><![CDATA[
The first round of the MTel Masters brought three decisive games. Both the "home boys", Veselin Topalov and Ivan Cheparinov, won their games against Levon Aronian and Bu Xiangzhi respectively.

          <title>Reactions to Milener's draw diagnosis</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
In his recent <a href = "http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=4553" >chess-3 
essay</a> Gene Milener claimed that chess variants like shogi indicate that the 
high draw rate in chess is due to insufficient piece power in the game. He then 
described a variant that would add piece power while being as close to chess as 
possible. Reactions to the essay ranged from interest to disdain. Here is a selection 
of  feedback from our readers. ]]>

  Editor of <a href="http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/index.html">Chess Notes</a>,
