1 November 2006 13:03 PM

Sergey Karjakin, Teimour Radjabov, Magnus Carlsen and Andrei Volokitin qualified for the semi-finals of the rapid tournament that’s being held in Cap d’Agde (France) this week. Between the players that were kicked out in the preliminaries of the tournament were Indian wonderboy Parimarjan Negi and ex-world champion Anatoly Karpov. Today some puzzles from the games so far.

Six puzzles to solve. Everytime it’s: White to play and win. Soon the solutions will be published.
