	A kid turns conqueror
		RUSLAN PONOMARIOV of Ukraine became the youngest world chess champion when he won the title in a historic match against fellow countryman Vassily Ivanchuk with a game to spare at 4.5-2.5 on January 23.
		Ponomariov, born on October 11, 1983, hails from a remote Ukrainian town of Kramatorsk, while his opponent Ivanchuk is from Lvov, the second biggest city and one with a lot of chess tradition like Chennai in India.
		Ponomariov showed greater determination and maintained his playing level throughout and was not flagging on any count, especially in the endgames which required speedy skills.

	rediff.com sports: Anand loses third game against Ponomariov
		Ponomariov opened with the king pawn in the third game and, quite surprisingly, Anand opted for the sharp Sicilian Sveshnikov defence that is in vogue these days.
		Ponomariov gained the upper hand after Anand went for a dubious strategic plan that allowed the Ukrainian's knight to make a foray to the sixth rank, well aided by a central pawn.
		Ponomariov on the other hand had his task cut out on the queenside and he got his fair share of counter play amidst a wave of attack against his king.

	Wijk an Zee 2002 annotations round 10
		At our first meeting I yet did not know, that Ruslan as the chess player compare with Karpov frequently, but, remembering 15-year's Anatoly, with which I have got acquainted on Spartakiad of the schoolboys in St.-Petersburg, I could note something similar in their characters - probably, it is possible to name early growning up.
		And, already having got acquainted with the games of Ruslan and his analysis of the finished games, I, as at one time, 20 years back, have thought of maximum applicability of this chess player - to be the World champion.
		By the way, an explanation of good nature to me has given Boris Ponomariov, in which family Ruslan lived from 10-year's age, having moved in Kramatorsk from the city Gorlovka Donetsk's region, where he was born on November 11, 1983.

		Therefore, despite the fact that I am not Ruslan Ponomariov's representative and never had (or aimed to have) rights to represent him in any official negotiations with FIDE, it would be simply untrue to say that I 'stay' or am able to 'stay' at some intermediate position between Ponomariov and FIDE in the current situation.
		It is very strange that the gist and hidden motive of the conflict between Ruslan Ponomariov and FIDE, which seems obvious, is still obscured by an argument about time control and FIDE World Champion Ruslan Ponomariov's privilege (or lack of privilege) to retain the title in the event of a draw.
		In his second demand Ponomariov stated that his match with Kasparov should be played with the new FIDE time control, used in 2001/2002 FIDE World Championship, which brought Ponomariov the title of the World Champion.

		Ponomariov’s title was won in the last FIDE Knockout tournament, which is a grab bag, blitz-crazed process.
		It would be unconscionable to give Ponomariov draw adds against the player who dominated chess for 20 years and who defended his title for 15 years in numerous matches.
		Ponomariov is a talented player, but his chess resume falls well short of Kasparov’s resume.

		I have met Ruslan Ponomariov, the new world chess champion, at Hotel Moscow on 24 January, the next day after he won the champion's title.
		Before I managed to surprise Ruslan Ponomariov with my questions, he amazed me having told that the President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma called him on his mobile phone on 24 January and congratulated on winning the world champion's title.
		Ruslan's answer was: «I also thought that everything would be easier after becoming a champion.» Jokes are jokes but Ruslan Ponomariov deserved his rest from chess.

		Ponomariov played the Berlin Defence a la Kramnik (as he had in Wijk) but Anand maintained his edge well into the middlegame and beyond.
		He was back to his best, putting Ponomariov on the spot after the Ukrainian misplaced his knight in the opening, and then outplaying him with a typical blend of sharp tactics and slow torture.
		Ponomariov had a complex struggle with an enterprising positional pawn sacrifice from the Indian.

		On Saturday Ponomariov sent FIDE president Kirsan Ilyumzhinov a series of demands concerning the conditions in which the match, initially scheduled for Buenos Aires but later transferred to the Crimean resort, is to be played.
		Since the negotiations began, FIDE has had to face "a number of demands, and sometimes unreasonable demands, from Ponomariov, or to be precise from Ponomariov's people because no one ever heard Ponomariov making complaints, you always dealt either with his manager or with the Ukrainian organizers," he said.
