Chess Treasury of the Air


Just reading this, I own the original paperback. I noticed that when you search for the book in Google, you get a new cover, this is the original cover for those interested in such things. BTW: My copy is rather old. This is a really cool book, I've contacted the BBC in regards to finding the original radio series (ala OTR), and they couldn't help me.

Anand loses to youngster(s) in chess simul...

Here's a link to an article about World Champion Anand losing to not one, but 2 kids in a simul against Uzbek juniors. Anand in fact lost two games.

A day after this match, on March 28, 2011 Anand gave a simul against the strongest juniors of Uzbekistan and the national women’s team (7 girls and 13 boys aged 7-20). The simul was held over twenty boards and finished with a score of 15-5. I wonder if that's 5 loses though?!?
