Though the initial four rounds seemed to indicate that this Linex-Magic would not qualify to the final this year, Solvay slipped at the crucial moment. The match-up was a repeat of last year, when Kasparov Marcote had taken the laurels, and this year was no different, despite Linex-Magic's two highest Elos. The final result was a decisive 4.5-1.5.

The Spanish Chess League CECLUB Honor Division is underway in Sestao, Vizcaya, 23rd-28th August 2010. It is a 6-round event with 10 teams. The first 4 rounds are a Swiss, with the final two rounds to decide the final places.

Unable to find a suitable chess program for her 6-year-old son, Anjelina Belakovskaia took matters into her own hands.

The three-time U.S. women's chess champion launched an academy in the Catalina Foothills where she began to work not only with her own son but with other children as well.
