The youngest player, German GM Arkadij Naiditsch, beat Vladimir Kramnik's Petroff Defence.On the Playchess server there was great excitement over Naiditsch' dramatic novelty – except that one visitor, Garry Kasparov, who is in Barcelona, preparing for an ICBI lecture on Wednesday, told us that he had analysed this back in 1999 (with the moves 16.a4 b4 17.Bf4 inserted). He predicted a good game for White, giving us all the main lines before they occurred on the board. There is apparently nothing new under the sun.
