Now it is quite difficult to find a person who has not heard of such an intellectual game as chess. This is a very ancient game, the history of which is quite difficult to trace.

Most scholars believe that their history and origins date back to ancient India. There are even legends about a certain sage who taught the bored raja this beautiful game, for which he paid with his head. There are some differences here, which are based on the fact that in ancient India there was a completely different game, and not its modern form. In those ancient times, it was called "chaturanga", and on chessboard played about four opponents. Each army had figures, led by a raja king, and there were only four pawns. This beautiful game was played together and the troops were doubled only in those eastern countries where the vizier acted as the main adviser to the rulers. This is how the "queen" appeared - one of the most powerful pieces on the chessboard. Thanks to European canons, the queen has become a queen or a piece that always helps the king and has great functionality. Therefore, chess is called a feminized game. And women have been able to play it for many centuries.

It should be noted that for a long time the number of supporters of this intellectual game has been increasing every year. In some educational institutions, as a mandatory course, teaching this exciting game. Therefore, many children, having forgotten about football tournaments, various swings and other entertainment places, play chess throughout their subsequent lives. This is due to the fact that in this game you need to think through every move, be careful not to lose one or another piece. It is also worth reasoning and calculating further moves in a clear sequence, both your own and your opponent's. Thanks to this game, perseverance and attentiveness are developed, which are necessary for good teaching of school disciplines, development and maintenance of activity and initiative. It is a comprehensive and varied game. There are a huge number of different combinations that have already been studied, and their data bank is replenished with fresh material every time.

Why does this intellectual game belong to the category sports games? This is determined by the excitement of the competition or the spirit of friendly struggle. Such fights of rivals at the end should receive a denouement and an appropriate reward. It should be noted that fans of this game and fans of football competitions have their own differences and advantages. They can lose the games of their idols, but they can also analyze their moves, which cannot be said about hockey and football fans.

It should be noted that chess tournaments is not just a sport, but also an attractive and necessary leisure. This game helps fight atherosclerosis. The constant practice of chess, especially for the elderly, is very useful activity. This game is rich in supporters of various age categories and specialties. Ideal equality is established on the chess field, regardless of practical knowledge and skills. Many will determine for themselves entertaining and entertaining moments, as well as establish those that will bring maximum bliss.

Chess gives you the opportunity to realize your creative and mental potential, reveals the features of strategic and tactical thinking, so this game requires a certain emotional mood, which is necessary for the intellectual struggle of opponents. This is quite difficult to do, so many fans of this game love it for these qualities. Those who prefer a different kind of sports games should play dominoes and checkers.

In such a game, there are strict requirements that must be followed regardless of the location of these intellectual competitions and their type, as well as opponents. Before carrying out any movement of the figure, it is necessary to think over your move further, and then walk. If the decisions of the moves are constantly changed by the opponent himself, then it will look at least ridiculous and inappropriate, which is strictly forbidden to do in any kind of competition, as this leads to a gross violation of the rules established by FIDE.

Therefore, having entered the game with an opponent, it is worth not only knowing the rules and being able to play, but also owning the prohibitions of this game. You should not touch the opponent's pieces, otherwise it will be necessary to take the piece that does not correspond to your preference, which will directly create a threat to a certain piece on the chessboard. If you strictly adhere to these postulates, then you can avoid many conflicts that will spoil the pleasure of this game.

In all competitions of these wonderful sports games, the opponent's moves are recorded. They use a specific chess clock where the time is set for each player. The time limit is limited only when playing "rapid chess", where each player is given 15-30 minutes for each move, as well as a "blitz game", where each player is given fifteen minutes.

This is a game of many options, where everyone can choose a certain strategy for themselves and change it depending on the situation on the playing field. Previously, such games were played by correspondence, telephone, and now you can even play in live mode with any of the opponents. Even despite modern innovative technologies, the meaning of this ancient game remains unchanged. Thanks to this game, you can learn to analyze and calculate options, develop strategic and intellectual thinking, and also get a lot of positive emotions due to victory and your own work.


Chess is an intellectual sport. It develops memory, intelligence, thinking, logic very well. It is better to start learning this game from childhood, children have very good memory and it will last for a very long time.

You need to be able to think several moves ahead. Chess players usually develop a mathematical mindset. Why this game classified as a sport? Usually in sports they pump up muscles, but here the brain. Officially, chess became a sport in 2006 and has been recognized by more than a hundred countries. That's just in Olympic Games this sport was never included, as, in fact, other Mind games. Not all sports require physical strength, for example, in shooting, accuracy is important.

Playing chess requires practice, constant practice. For chess, speed, speed of thinking is also important, as in other sports. A physically weak person will not be able to sit at the board for a long time, this requires perseverance, calmness, energy, which you will not find in every sport.

The board consists of 64 cells, white and black equally. Each player has 16 pieces at the beginning of the game. Eight pawns, two bishops, two bishops, a queen and a king are pieces that each player has. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent. Checkmate can be put when the king has no move, all the fields are occupied by the opponent's pieces or their own. The player with the white pieces goes first, always. All figures move differently, for example, the horse moves in the letter G, and the only one can jump over the pieces. The king can only move one cell in any direction, the queen can move along any straight line and any distance, but cannot jump over the pieces. The rook can only move horizontally or vertically. The knight moves any distance, but only vertically. Pawns don't move backwards, moves forward one square per turn. They can also transform into other figures.

There are many tutorials on learning to play chess. It's not that hard to learn. But it's better when you learn from an early age, there is every chance of becoming a professional. In fact, this game requires both strength and intelligence, but rather the strength of the mind. By the way, speaking about the safety of this sport, the intellectual game is really the safest. Although there are people who, in case of defeat, enter into a fight.

What do we already know about World Mind Games? They were held for the first time in 2008. Initially, they included 5 types of games: chess, bridge, checkers, go and Xiangqi (Chinese chess). This year, thirty-five gold medals will be contested by 2,763 competitors from 143 countries.
The World Intellectual Games are gradually moving to new level. Now they are organized and conducted by a well-known and respected organization SportAccord. They organize Olympic and non-Olympic sports and also establish various conferences and sporting events.

Difference between games 2011 and those that took place last year, that the participants were invited, which means that only the best of the best will play. $11,000 is for each winner of each Men's Game Competition and $8,000 for the Women's Game Winner chess games. Undoubtedly, there will be a very interesting fight and tough competition in every match.

The tournament starts on December 9 rapid chess(ends 11), it will be held according to the Swiss system in 7 rounds. Time control: 20 minutes per game + 10 seconds per move. December 12-13 will be held circular blitz tournament, control - 3 minutes + 2 seconds. But on December 14, the main event will take place - blindfold tournament. It will be an interesting spectacle, especially since the game control will be 20 minutes + 10 seconds for each move made.
At the tournament you will be able to see such players as: Vasily Ivanchuk, Ruslan Ponomarev, my beloved Hou Yifan, Ekaterina Lahno and many other famous players.


ended rapid chess tournament in Beijing at the World Mind Games. We were pleased Alexandra Kosteniuk, which took the "gold", scoring 6 out of 7 points (without losing a single game). In second place is Ukrainian Katya Lahno with 4.5 points, and in third Georgian chess player Nana Dzagnidze.
In the men's tournament, the results were not encouraging. Sergey Karjakin took 10th place and Alexander Grischuk 6th. In the first place in their group is a Chinese Wang Hao. Silver went to Vugar Gashimov, bronze went to Gata Kamsky.


Today ended blitz tournament in China. Current World Champion Hou Yifan(part-time my love)) took first place among women, scoring 11.5 out of 15. She was followed by Antoaneta Stefanova and Anna Muzychuk, scoring 9.5 points each.
Among men in a lightning game won Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, who scored 12 out of 15. Our compatriot Alexander Grischuk took second place (10.5 points.) Bronze went to Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (10 points). Why is Alexander Grischuk so sad in the photo? Dissatisfied with second place? Yes, it seems to be not, especially having opened as much as one and a half points. Or maybe because Sergey Karjakin took the insulting 4th place? What do you think?


So the World Intellectual Games have come to their logical end. Blindfold tournament ended.
The first place among women was taken by ..., who do you think? of course, the most beautiful and amazing - Hou Yifan. I personally congratulated her on her second gold medal at these great games. She was one point clear of second place, which went to Victoria Cmilyta from Lithuania. Well, the third place was taken by Alexandra Kosteniuk, which cannot but please us - fans from Russia. I note that Hou Yifan is the only athlete who was able to take the "gold" in two tournaments at the VII.
