George, Associated Press have withdrawn their chess journalists from
reporting any Fide events (and all others, by association) because of their
unreliable schedule of events.

We must now expect this quality of reporting from newspapers from now on.

Cordially, Phil innes

The editors at the Los Angeles Times - latimes.com - have shown their
ignorance
of chess by putting an inaccurate headline on the latest column by IM Jack
Peters. The latest headline reads:
"Kramnik defeats 4 Germans in exhibition"

What Peters wrote in the text was the following:
"World champion Vladimir Kramnik has conquered Germany. In a simultaneous
exhibition Jan. 29 in Brissago, Switzerland, Kramnik edged four of the
best
German grandmasters 2 1/2 - 1 1/2."

Peters went on to write that Kramnik scored three draws and one win - the
win
being againt GM Robert Huebner.

If the LA Times editors were chess savvy or had read the complete column,
they
would not have put that inaccurate headline on Peters' latest column.
There
was a better, i.e. more accurate way to to describe what Kramnik did in
the
headline.. Suggestions from posters are welcome.
