Yesterday Liverpool right back Trent Arnold didn't show quite the defensive brilliance we're used to when he took on World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen (5 min vs. 1 min)!

In the spring of three successive years β 1988, 1989 and 1990, a strong international tournament was organised in Haninge, a town in Stockholm County, Sweden. The 1989 event was won by Δ½ubomΓr FtΓ‘Δnik, ahead of Ulf Andersson, John van der Wiel & Michael Wilder; the 1990 event was won by Yasser Seirawan, a full point clear of Jaan Ehlvest & Anatoly Karpov.
The inaugural tournament proved to be a triumph for the famous Soviet grandmaster, Lev Polugaevsky. He started the event disappointingly β in the opening round he achieved an absolutely winning position with the white pieces against Ulf Andersson, only to throw away his advantage immediately after the time control had passed. Worse happened in the following round: he misplayed the opening with black against Simen Agdestein, and was unable to recover. However, he then got into gear, and took seven points from the next eight games, to take clear first place by a full point.
