While the worlds elite players
take a week off to move from Sao
Paulo to Bilbao for the second
half of the Grand Slam Final, the
best of the rest have been com-
peting in London in the first of a
new Grand Prix series.
The London tournament was
jointly won by the two most recent
world title challengers, Veselin
Topalov and Boris Gelfand,
together with Azerbaijans Shakh-
riyar Mamedyarov, while the big
shock was the disastrous per-
formance of top seed Hikaru
Nakamura who lost four con-
secutive games and finished at
the tail of the field.
The surprise leader after the
Sao Paulo half of the Grand
Slam Final is 20-year-old Italian
Fabiano Caruana, who beat
Carlsen in the first round and
has never looked back.
Caruanas win over Carlsen
was the result of opportunism
after a long rearguard defence. In
the diagrammed position Carlsen
(Black) has succeeded in march-
ing his king up the board and has
the serious threat of 79...Rb2.
However, instead of defend-
ing passively with 79.Kc1, which
could run into trouble after Black
brings his king back into the
game, Caruana found an inspired
resource...
79.Rxe4! dxe4 80.f5! Kg2?!
With less than two minutes left on the clock
(and only a ten second increment per move),
Carlsen finds the right idea but plays it with
the wrong move order. After 80...Rb2! 81.f6
Kg2!, White is in trouble, eg 82.f7 Rb8 83.Ke3
Rf8 84.Kxe4 Rxf7 85.Kd5 (85.d5 Rb5!) 85...c3
86.Kc4 Kf3 87.Kxc3 Ke4 and White has run out
of moves.
81.Ke3! Rb2?
Consistent, but the ingenious 81...Rb3+!!
82.Kxe4 Rc3! would have held the game.
82.d5!
Suddenly Whites pawns are running too fast
to be stopped.
82...Rxc2 83.d6 c3 84.d7 Rd2 85.d8(Q)
Rxd8 86.Bxd8 h4!? 87.gxh4! g3 88.f6 c2
89.Kd2 e3+90.Kxc2 e2 91.Ba5! 1-0

THE DIVINE MS CLARE BOWDITCH IS THE POSTER GIRL FOR
WOMEN WHO NOT ONLY HAVE THEIR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO,
THEY DAMN WELL BAKED IT. SHE SPOKE WITH THE ECHO ON
THE EVE OF HER SHOW IN BANGALOW THIS WEEK.
Clare, making music, playing music, carting kids around the
whole shebang do you ever think that the whole damn thing
is just too hard, I should go home and get a real job, or make
scones or something? Yes, yes I do! Of course I do! And I think every
artist or person whos running their own business does go through
the occasional case of grass is greener illness where they think there
is some simple solution to a complex life. However, when you look at
it, I actually do have a real job, and I do make scones, so its all good.
You wrote a quite poetic piece on happiness or the denial of
such; do you think that we busy women (I have fve kids and a
very full career) end up becoming happiness deprived because
we are so busy? Not necessarily it just depends on which choices
we make. My grandmother had eleven children: she was still a happy
woman.
How do we avoid this? How do you? By forgetting we do actually
have a say in how our own lives turn out.
What do you do each day to keep yourself buoyant? Im not
always buoyant (see above) because I too very often forget that
much of my happiness or otherwise depends on the choices I make.
I am most buoyant when I remember that life is extraordinarily
magnifcent, I am living in privileged times, I know what it is to love,
and be loved, and I start my day with kale. True story.
What did you set out to achieve in this new album? I just wanted
to write a wonderful album, and record it with extraordinary
musicians and a mind-blowing producer. I wanted to created
something that reminded people of how powerful and awesome we
all are.
How close did you come? Bullseye.
What is the essence of good songwriting for you? Telling the
truth, sometimes telling it slant.
What are your struggles and challenges as a performer? Ive had
many and Id say that if you want to know what I learnt from these
experiences (too many to number), please join the Big Hearted
Business mailing list, because this is the kind of stuf we talk about.
What do you bring to the table musically as your greatest
strengths? Doing the thing that I can do, not trying to do the thing
that someone else can do.
If not music, then what would Clare Bowditch have done with
her life? Midwife.
Do you have other dreams that you are yet to realise? Every
single day. Dont you? Thats why I wrote the song Amazing Life to
tell this story.
What is your perfect day? This one.
What is your perfect show? The one Im going to play in Bangalow.
