| roberts partner: Howell draws Granda Zuniga in round 9 to win the Andorra Open outright with 8/9.
So Howell is in good form going into the world junior (U-20) championship at Gaziantes, Turkey, starting 3 August.
Longer term, his Fide rating of 2561 will improve by another 15-20 points from Andorra. This puts him within immediate range of England No3 (though inactive) Luke McShane on 2596.
Judging from the rating charts on www.fide.com, Howell is currently improving around 40 points a year while Nigel Short (2655) is dropping around 20 a year. So Howell may overtake Short as England No2 in 2009 or 2010. |

| Squares: Well played the Howeller. |
|
Aug-14-08
|
| roberts partner: One game away from gold tomorrow morning (8 am BST start for the final round) and from becoming England's second junior world champion after Tony Miles. A title that Short and Adams couldn't win, though Short did take silver behind Kasparov.
The likely pairings are Howell v Gupta and Negi v Braun. Braun has the best tiebreak, Howell the next. So a win will do it, but a draw would be only the silver medal if Negi v Braun is decisive either way. Well, David has 100 per cent so far with White.... |

| AdrianP: Today's game (Corus Round 5) completes a hat-trick for Howell. He's having the sort of tournament start that Tal habitually experienced 0 - 0 - 1 - 1 - 1. |

| Ladolcevita: GM David Howell ¨C actually David Wei Liang Howell. ¡°Wei¡± means ¡°great¡±, and ¡°liang¡± means ¡°kind¡±, in Mandarin Chinese. The whole middle name is pronounced like ¡°William¡± (¡°Guillermo¡± in Spanish, ¡°Guillem¡± in Catalan) I think the mandarin name is ¡°Î°Á¼¡±according to the meanings!Anyway,this name is not very unique.... |

| znnnk: <David Howell's dream of winning the world junior seems to be over. Howell travelled with Nigel Short to Puerto Madryn in Argentina for his last shot at a title he so nearly won last year when a last round defeat playing white pushed him out of the medals. Howell started well with an unbeaten 6/8 but lost to the top seed Maxime Vachier-Lagrave of France with black in round nine.> http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/malcolm... |
