Summer Camp 2009
Why our camp as opposed to another? Simple really. We offer it all, and though chess is the primary activity, there are plenty of other ones that will keep your child from falling asleep, or worst of all, calling your work # asking to be taken home while you are swamped in the middle of an important meeting.

2008 International Chess Academy Summer Camp Review:
By now most of the children who went to this year’s camp are immersed in math, science, and literature. Their teachers are tough, and as is usually the case with each successive grade, so is the curriculum. Of course, unless most of them stared at the tip of their pencil’s eraser last year, all of this fractions-distractions mumbo jumbo should be a piece of delicious home economics baked cake.
2008 ICA Chess Camp Week 8 Report (8/18 – 8/22)

Chess Articles
V.BOLOGAN. SWING
One of the biggest Russian publishing houses, "AST", is going to publish the book of V.Bologan "Footsteps" (256 p., 52 games and fragments, autobiography, fragments from author's diary, photos and tournament tables).
Sending the Rook to the Opposite Wing
In the chapter “On Open Files,” Aron Nimzovitch formulated the following idea: to advance in one file with the idea of giving up that file for another one… to use that file as a jumping-off place. Unfortunately, he hardly developed this idea any further. We will somewhat fill in this blank spot with the small selection of examples we now bring to your attention.

The winning Ukrainian team in Calvia was not afraid to utilize young talents. The country's champion, Andrei Volokitin, 18, scored 8 1/2 points in 12 games. And the famous 14-year-old prodigy Sergei Kariakin scored an incredible 6 1/2 points in seven games. The team had a strong leader in Vassily Ivanchuk, 35, who amassed 9 1/2 points in 13 games on the top board. One of his victims was Teimur Radjabov, another 16-year-old talent, playing on Azerbaijan's top board.

Peter Leko, the Hungarian challenger, leads the titleholder Vladimir Kramnik 5 1/2 to 4 1/2 at the 14-game Classical World Championship in Brissago, Switzerland, after yesterday's game, the 10th. Leko won the eighth game on Thursday; two weekend games were drawn.
How to prepare to the game (mentally) & Time management Placket-Sadler, 1998/99
I have to say that before this game, I became incredibly nervous: if there is one thing I should have learnt by now, it is that in order to win a game, particularly against someone you really feel you should beat, it is necessary not to think about winning. Thinking about the end robs you of the will to concentrate on the means: you don't want to calculate, you get impatient, the slightest flaw in your plan gets you angry and annoyed and liable to force the pace recklessly.
