Richard Rapport: The Sky’s The Limit
By Diana Mihajlova
Another article on GM Rapport.
Three years ago, we wrote about the young Hungarian prodigy, Richard Rapport, on the occasion of his becoming the youngest grandmaster in the world.
Today, at 17, both his physical appearance and his chess career have undergone rapid progress. He has sprung up, towering over almost anyone that stands next to him.
His shyness has given way to an open and polite charm. He communicates confidently and is quite fluent in English and German. He has kept his modest manner, but he does not hide his jubilation when talking about his latest chess successes.
“I am very happy with my performance so far in 2013. I managed to gain more than 70 points in five months. I will do my utmost to enter the top ranks of chess soon.”
He believes in it with such fervour and earnest desire, it may well be a self-fulfilling prophecy.(More) See whole article

This is the seventh edition of LCT organized by Jan Bey. Over 20 titled players participated, from which nine were grandmasters. The tournament started on July 12 and ended on July 19. It was a nine-round Swiss and was held in the Mind Games Center of Leiden.
People from twelve countries came to the lovely Dutch city. During weekdays the games started at 19.00h, so that people with a job would not have to take any free days. For players from abroad this offered ample opportunities to go sightseeing.

GM Jakovenko does nothing special and wins with ease.
More About Greece
Hundreds of billions of dollars worth of oil and gas are believed trapped under the seabed around Greece – enough to wipe out the country’s debt for good. But can they get to it? And who else is looking to get their hands on the energy bonanza? Some experts say the recent discoveries of oil and gas in the Aegean Sea could turn the entire region into the ‘New Gulf’. But where there is oil, there is usually some sort of conflict.
