Viswanathan Anand retains world title
Update: video added.
Viswanathan Anand has retained his world title by drawing Vladimir Kramnik in the 11th game of the World Championship match in Bonn, Germany. The final match score is 6?Ǭ?-4?Ǭ? for Anand.
It was a task he had never managed to do before: beating Viswanathan Anand with the black pieces. And after his opponent switched to his long-life weapon 1.e4, Vladimir Kramnik couldn't do it today either. At the press conference the Russian said it was a "difficult day" for him: "It was not easy to prepare for e4 and d4, trying to find forced wins for Black against all these moves."
He was reasonably satisfied with reaching the Najdorf, because "at least we had a game - it was not easy to just get a game". But he managed, although then Kramnik soon had to work on his own, because a few moves after Anand's 6.Bg5 he was out of theory - he actually found 9...Qc5 behind the board.
Black's seemingly anti-positional 12...exf5 was his only chance, Kramnik said, because "otherwise White simply gets very easy play"; he mentioned the standard moves Kb1 and g3 + Bh3, pressing on e6. "So I decided to mess things up." However, Anand reacted very well, calculated very well, and forced a liquidation to an ending that White simply cannot lose. "Miracles happen, but very rare, unfortunately," Kramnik finished his statement about the game.
After the game Anand said he was "happy, but at this point probably more relieved than happy. Obviously it's really nice to just have the title. Vlady was really pushing me in the last few games. With White I was really hoping to have the world championship title in the evening but I wasn't sure, you never know."
With this official and undisputed World Championship, Anand has won every big event that has been organized during his career. In fact, he's the first player to have won a world championship in three different formats. In the year 2000 Anand won the FIDE World Chess Championship which was a knockout event, in 2007 he won the World Chess Championship which was a tournament of six players, and now he has won a World Championship match. If he didn't yet belong to the list of great names starting with Steinitz, Lasker and Capablanca, he now sure does - nobody can deny it anymore. After all, today Anand has beaten the man who beat Kasparov.
Thanks to his 11 games in Bonn, Anand is also the new world's number one on the live rating list (for the top ten see the column on the far right) - he shares a virtual rating of 2791 with Topalov but tops the list because of actually having played games in this period.
Today Anand, who will turn 39 on December 11, won the most important prize of his career. It all started in 1983 when he won the National Sub-Junior Chess Championship with a score of 9/9. He subsequently became the youngest Indian to win the IM title at the age of fifteen, in 1984. One year later he became champion of India and in 1987 he became the first Indian to win the World Junior Chess Championship. In 1988, at the age of eighteen, he became India's first Grandmaster.
Ever since he won the super tournament of Reggio Emilia in 1991, ahead of Kasparov and Karpov, Anand has been among the world's elite. Among his colleagues he became known as the fastest player in the circuit and this was confirmed by him winning the unofficial world championship of rapid chess many times.
In the year 2000 Anand won the FIDE World Chess Championship in Tehran after defeating Alexei Shirov in the final. In the same year Garry Kasparov lost his world title to Vladimir Kramnik in London.
In 2002 Ruslan Ponomariov took over the title of FIDE World Champion and in 1995 Anand finished shared second with Peter Svidler at the San Luis World Championship tournament, behind Veselin Topalov. One year later Topalov lost his title against Kramnik, in a match that decided the first undisputed World Championship since 1993.
In September 2007 Anand became World Champion again by winning the FIDE World Championship Tournament held in Mexico City. He finished on 9 / 14 which was a full point ahead of Vladimir Kramnik and Boris Gelfand. Kramnik had agreed to participate in this tournament after FIDE had given him the right, if he wouldn't finish first, to automatically challenge the new World Champion.
This eventually resulted in the Anand-Kramnik match held in Bonn 14-29 October, that was dominated by the Indian from the start. After two reasonably quiet games he won twice with Black in games 3 and 5, and then scored another full point in game 6. In the final phase of the match Anand lost his concentration in a few games and even lost game 10, but by easily drawing the 11th game, he reached the unbeatable 6.5 points.
It was Anand's strategy with the Black pieces that decided the match. It's possible that the Indian didn't expect to achieve too much with the White pieces against one of the most solid players in the circuit, and therefore decided to focus the attention on Black. His choice of the sharp Meran positions was a brilliant one and with it he delivered the first major blow in game three. Again under pressure, Kramnik blundered in game 5 and this second blow led to the Russian playing his weakest game, number six, where he lost an ending that he would have drawn in most other situations.
Being 3 points down in a 12-game match is another way of saying: it's just hopeless. But it can only be admired how Kramnik managed to fight back in subsequent games - he finally started to feel confident, finally started to come up with theoretical novelties and simply... finally started to play on his normal level. But it was too late - Anand's narrow escape in game 9 earned him a valuable half point and then for Kramnik it was clearly a mission impossible to score 3 out of 3 against this kind of player.
Anand's victory was based on a combination of excellent preparation and playing almost flawlessly. A deserved champion who has deservedly entered the famous list of World Championship match winners.
Here's the 11th and final game of the match, in which I included some notes by co-editor IM Merijn van Delft as well:

kudoes to vishy anand on his becoming WCC yet again! but kramnik's opting for a draw is premature. sure, his pawn structure is shattered . still, his pieces are better placed and offer multiple options....... to support the Bishop, f4, pawn moves like b5, connecting the rooks on the c file...... there are jut too many options remaining...
may be the time and psychological factors made kramnik to go for a draw!
Wasn?¢'Ǩ'Ñ¢t 22.Qc7 a win for Anand - or have I missed something?
Certainly Not ..Be5 and black gets the upper hand with the rook exchanage and the second rook becomes free

Congrats to Anand who has proved that he is the best human player on the planet. Now there only remains Rybka! Anyone for arranging a match?

The problem with Black's position in terms of playing for a win is he has no way to create a passed pawn. White can eventually force a queenside passer, but Black's kingside majority, even if he can avoid losing one of those weak pawns, will never give him a passed pawn if White doesn't allow it. With bishops of opposite colors, no passed pawn in the offing, and limited material, how do you play for the win?
Yes, Black has better piece activity, but with queens off the board this isn't too serious, especially since White can simply target his weak pawns to slow him down while White develops. If Black plays f4, he probably will lose this pawn eventually.
Against a 2600 Kramnik might have had some slight shot at a win; against Vishy, it would have been sheer impudence to try.

Congratulations Anand. It's a great win against a tough opponent. Kramnik got his game going in the end, but you prevailed. That's is stuff champions are made of.
Unfortunately, Rybka would crush Vishy...humankind is frail. :-(
I would be grateful if someone offers a sound line againt 20...Nb4 (instead of 20...Qe1). I see only 20. Rf5 Nc2.

Well well! All the talks about Kramnik being a better match player and Vishy only being a tournament player, Kramnik 'loaning' the title to Vishy,etc. Thanks very much Vishy for those wonderful games. You have unified the titles and put an end to all question marks despite the unfaireness of FIDE on you. Well done.

Personaly, I was supporting Anand. I always have been for the last few years. But sincerely, I do salute Kramnik for his sportmanship, the way he has respected his opponent during this match or the conferences and his courage, playing the Najdorf in the last game.
5 years 5 months ago
kramnik should not play for another championship.. others deserve a chance too...
At this point, I do wish it was a 24-game match like in the days of old...not because Kramnik lost, I would be perfectly happy with him losing in 24 (23, 22, 21) games...it's just that after looking like a one-sided rout, this turned out to be a really good match. It's sad to see it end...I would love to see it develop -- okay, Anand's got the lead, but Kramnik is looking much better in the last few games than he did earlier, and we'll see how it goes for another twelve games...and also see more of the players' opening theory get used over the board...etc. It's a shame. That doesn't mean Anand didn't earn the title...he certainly did, and CONGRATULATIONS to him!!! He's a great player and a great guy, and certainly joins the zodiac of all-time greats now, no ifs, ands, or buts.

Finally India tells the world thru Vishy that from now on it also gets counted among the world's top brain powers...Vishy not only beat Kramnik but also the odds,FIDE,Russians,prejudices,bias,cheatings,insults etc. etc. singlehandedly....his win is greater in character than Bobby Fischer's in 1972...though Bobby remains the King of all time..
Congrats to Anand! I rooted for Kramnik, but it was a great match by two great champions! Now that Anand is 15th World Champion, I just hope he won't throw the title away in a tournament, and insist he can only lose his title in a match.

Anand has been sponsored by AMD http://www.amd.com
I don't know if AMD has provided Anand with computer resources,
but my guess is that they have. In hat case Anand could have had
access to 1000 computers somewhere via the Internet, running
Rybka engines on each computer. He could then send hundreds
of thousands of lines from a big database with games for the super
computer cluster to analyse for him. Then over a period of several
months Anand would only have to memorize all this computer
analysis. It seems reasonable that this indeed happend.
Kramnik on the other hand probably only had a few computers to
work with in his home.
I think that as Bobby Fischer put it "The old [classical] chess is dead,
its played out". See, Anand had a novelty in so many lines that he
must have prepared many many thousands of lines and to do that
you need workhorse computer power and AMD has probably provided
that. A big hall with hundreds or thousands of computers devoted to
Anands preparation for the match.
I want to see the top players play a real world chess championship
with thease rules:
(1) FISCHERANDOM CHESS (CHESS 960) - Who is creative and more
skilled at chess will win, not who has memorized most lines which anyway
is just the computers work!
(2) FISCHER CLOCK - not an old fashion clock where you can have a
won position but screw it up in time trouble. The meaning of the clock
is not understood if using the old type of clock. The Fischer Clock is
(3) First to win a number of games, say 10 or so, and draws not counting.
This match was too short. Kramnik recovered well at the end if the match
had been 14 or 16 games it could have ended differently that is for sure.
I mean 12 games is way too short and that was my oppinion before the match
5 years 5 months ago
Why not make them play "Go" to decide the most creative world champion, as that would take out any remnants of chess knowledge.
What is the Fisher clock?
5 years 5 months ago
one thing is sure now that kramnik has to accept that anand is the world champion.
he was needed to understand that, and anand proved this. rest is fine, although anand was better in this game 11, but ok...
Anand is a great player - congratulations to the 15th World Champion (Anand in the Moscow Chess Club!).
Kramnik showed his fantastic chess capability in the last 3 games and we should be happy to have witnessed game 10 - a true classic.
@dev: There is no shred of a doubt that Kramnik recognizes Anand as the undisputed World Champion. Kramnik was very humble and sportsman at the press conference. A very classy attitude in losing a match. Anand certainly taught Kramnik a chess and strategy lesson in this match; but Kramnik himself indirectly taught Topalov a sportsmanship lesson.
5 years 5 months ago
I feel, 12 games in a WC match is just fine.
Remember - in the Anand-Kasparov match (20 games) the first 8 games ended in draws and the real action began when only 12 games were remaining! I feel if the number of games in a WC match is 10 or above, then it's good enough.
5 years 5 months ago
Anand would have won a 16-game match as well. No question. If you extend the match you would have lots more draws anyway.
I'm glad Anand retained his title. Now more people in diverse nations will take up chess. People talk about the "Fischer Boom," (global) but there has also been an "Anand Boom" (primarily in India) and this may be a second (hopefully global).
Congratulation Vsiwanathan Anand! Congratulations India!
"Remember - in the Anand-Kasparov match (20 games) the first 8 games ended in draws and the real action began when only 12 games were remaining! I feel if the number of games in a WC match is 10 or above, then it?¢'Ǩ'Ñ¢s good enough."
Yeah, and if that match had been scheduled for 10 games, it would have been all draws until the last two. Is that the way a world championship should be decided?
5 years 5 months ago
@Paul - I agree completely with you. You would find many popular games where they have Cheerleading team , mostly girls ( not fully dressed ) to make it attractive.
But I think it is not part of the sports . I think It is just to attract people who are not probably interested in game.
I agree that it is humiliating for them. I would say lack of sense for the sponsors.
anyway....great work by Vishy .....congrats .... and thanks to Kramnik....who showed the world how to accept defeat with grace ......he tried his best but his opponent was better than him during this match .........
Toplalov and his followers should get a lesson ...........
Some people never learns the right thing though.......

Goodbye Kramnik , and dont go loaning things around anymore!

Well, let's assume AMD supported Anand with the biggest server cluster ever built: Who cares?
Times have changed. A few years before, the players had big teams of top-chess players to do what computers can today. Or do you really believe Kasparov validated a single line himself?
Conqueror of Anand

Thanks should also go to the beautiful ladies of Evonik and Gazprom, who were standing behind Anand and Kramnik at each Press conference!
Except for the first couple of games from Vishy I really wasn't impressed by the playing.....With all the preparations with the computers there is not much fighting on the board. Besides 12 games really is not enough, I like it better wit h 24 games.
@robert "Except for the first couple of games from Vishy I really wasn?¢'Ǩ'Ñ¢t impressed by the playing?¢'Ǩ¬¶"
Oh I did not know that they were playing to impress you. May be next time, you can let them know before.
"there is not much fighting on the board"
You are right, chess should be abandoned.
"I like it better with 24 games.".
Again, how unfortunate the organizers did not respect your feelings and made it 12 games. I am sorry.

All you folks who are for 24 (or so) matches:
There will always be some argument for and against 12 or 24 matches. The cons of 24 matches would be that the players may get exhasuted and stamina may be the deciding factor (as opposed to pure chess skills).
"Thanks should also go to the beautiful ladies of Evonik and Gazprom, who were standing behind Anand and Kramnik at each Press conference!"
Yes, without them, the chess would have played at a low patzer level.
Okay, okay, I enjoyed looking at them too! ;)
"The cons of 24 matches would be that the players may get exhasuted and stamina may be the deciding factor (as opposed to pure chess skills)."
How about ten games, then a week or two off, then another ten games, possibly in a different city? This would make for a respectable 20 games without being too grueling, plus a possibility to let more people see the match.
5 years 5 months ago
Congratulations to Anand. He deserved to hold the title.
Sure it would be a different stories if it is 14 or 16 games math while 24 games are too much.
Kramnik did show his great courage and sportsmanship during the match. It is very inspiring.
Thanks for this site and I am waiting for the reports from Chess Olympiad.

YES !! Please FIDE and Global Chess, read this and remember an exciting match like K-K in New York/Lyon (1990).

I cannot agree more, Guillaume. Let?¢'Ǩ'Ñ¢s hope Vishy enjoys this beautiful victory,
and let?¢'Ǩ'Ñ¢s wish him great success at defending his title, first against Kamsky or Topalov, and quite possibly against Magnus Carlsen later on. I would like to add that matches of 16, 20 or even 24 games would be more interesting, that the decision by sudden death needs to be abolished (fortunately Vishy spared us from this scenario in Bonn) and that time controls in classic chess should not be further reduced, although separate blitz and rapid world championships would be quite nice.
Vladimir, thank you for giving it your best, being a true sportsman and offering us a 10th game which I guess will be shown to many future chess players. I wish you many more years at the top (it?¢'Ǩ'Ñ¢s such a pleasure to enjoy and learn from your games), and above all lots of happiness in your personal life !
@Varish- Like I said before both are great players but when you compare them to the matches Karpov-Kasparov or Fischer- Spasski I liked those matches AND the playing more. However since the introduction of computers players have become too dependant on them and I just don't like that.
One more proposal: how about next time the champion and the challenger both donate 10-15% of their prize money to the organizers so that all spectators can enter for free and all internauts can listen to Foidos live comments for free ? That would make chess even more popular around the world.
wow, that is a novel idea. I certainly support it.

He puts it a vase, or, rather, his servant does that for him. The flower doesn't ever die, even years later.It's dawn of a December morning, and he's cold. But still, he stands next to his father dutifully and looks at the little girl with blue eyes that are now black from seven nights sleeping on a cold, dungeon floor behind bars.

His father raises his arm, and the torch is lit.She locks her gaze to his, and he blinks at her. It's like she expects him to prevent it. He couldn't, though, he can't. She scares him, w

- Welcome to Spring on Cape Cod
When winter wanes and hope springs eternal for warmth to return to Cape Cod, the hardy souls that endured the cold and gray eagerly watch for their favorite harbingers of the coming season. For us it is the first time we spot a bright yellow feather among the khaki ones on the male goldfinches, the opening of our favorite clam shacks, the return of the ospreys to their nests, and the song of the spring peepers. These transitional weeks are full of anticipation as we watch the sun ooze its shine to entice the crocuses to bloom and buds to form on forsythia and hydrangea bushes. The penultimate thrill is the day the street sweeper creeps its way up our hill to rid the road of the sand that kept us safe from mother nature's snow and ice.
As innkeepers, however, spring means something entirely different. Now is the time for touch-up painting, window washing, rug cleaning, and garden prepping. The phones are jingling to life with guests planning their summer and fall vacations.
Our favorite attractions are opening this month as well.
- Truro Vineyards opens this weekend, April 4th, with wine tastings every 30 minutes.
- The Steamship Authority's fast ferry returns to service on April 14th.
- The Edward Gorey Museum opens on April 17th.
- Heritage Museum and Gardens opens for the season on April 19th.
- Cape Cod Railroad is offering its Easter Brunch Train on Sunday, April 20th.
- The Hyannis Whale Watcher sets sail from Barnstable Harbor on April 22nd.
There is definitely a buzz in the air on Cape Cod and we are happy to see the sun, the greening grass, budding trees, and blooming flowers. And we are looking forward to seeing our loyal guests at the High Pointe Inn this year, and meeting new friends as well.
Welcome spring! We're glad you're back.
- Sage Advice from a Travel Expert: Stay at a Bed and Breakfast
Arthur Frommer, the legendary travel guidebook author known for his iconic "Europe on $5 a Day" guide, offered some sage advice on how to travel intelligently and economically in a recent interview in AARP magazine.
"Experience new ideas," he says. "Stay in a bed-and-breakfast. Meet the owners, and guests from other countries. You'll save money and have a better vacation."
Music to my ears.
In the 15 years we have been innkeeping, we have witnessed thousands of interactions among guests of varying cultures, ethnicities, economic status, and sexual preference. Winter, spring, summer or fall, guests gather around our breakfast table, out on the deck, or in front of the fire to eat and drink, share stories of their travels and offer opinions on everything from the best seafood restaurants to the most remote beaches.
We have seen friendships form among strangers and have forged fast friendships ourselves with guests we may never have encountered had it not been for the commonality of our Inn.
Apart from the obvious creature comforts offered–a comfortable bed, private bath, home-cooked breakfast–a stay at a bed and breakfast inn is an opportunity. An opportunity to engage your hosts and elicit insider information on the area your visiting. An opportunity to expand your horizons by interacting with guests from foreign lands. An opportunity to share insights and exchange ideas with visitors young and old, world-travelers and neophytes alike.
It's inspirational when I see guests sharing email addresses for future contact with people they've just met. And when handshakes turn into hugs and goodbyes leave the promise of hellos I know that my guests have experienced a phenomena that has added significant value to their stay…a chance encounter with a kindred spirit. And it happened at a bed and breakfast inn.
- February Happenings on Cape Cod
February may be the shortest month of the year, but Cape Cod is not short of fun things to do and see in the month that brings us Valentine's Day, President's Day, and Ground Hog Day. Once Punxsutawney Phil predicts if an early spring is in the offing this year or not we can turn our attention to more important things like music, love, chocolate, and boats.
On February 7-9, the 8th annual Boatbuilders Show returns to Cape Cod via the Resort and Conference Center in Hyannis. Billed as "the best little boat show in the Northeast" it's the perfect opportunity to start dreaming about warmer weather and, to quote the Wind in the Willows, "believe me, my young friend, there is nothing — absolutely nothing — half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." On tap will be an array of custom and limited-production sail and power boats, both small and large, fashioned in wood and fiberglass.
If boating is not your thing, then consider attending the Osterville Chocolate Fest held this year on Saturday, February 8th. Everything from steaming cups of hot chocolate to decadent chocolate desserts and candies will be front and center in the shops and business of the lovely village of Osterville. Festivities begin at 9:00 AM and continue throughout the day.
On February 14-16, the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra presents "Piano Men," a multimedia rock-musical-tribute to Billy Joel and Elton John. Featuring hits from the 70s including "Rocket Man", "My Life", "Only the Good Die Young", and "Crocodile Rock", guest artist Jim Witter and his band will join the orchestra for what proves to be a rollicking good time. Tickets are selling fast for this one, so book early and come "Just the Way You Are".
Of course, the High Pointe Inn should be your headquarters for all of these events, so we've created the perfect two night package for you and your honey to enjoy on Valentines Day or anytime in February. We call it the "February is for Lovers" package.
So sweep your Valentines off their feet with this romantic getaway. Choose a deluxe ocean-view room or a spacious fireplace suite and pamper yourselves with luxury. Your two night Cape Cod escape includes breakfast by candlelight, a bottle of chilled champagne and chocolates in your room on arrival, a romantic couples massage, and a 3-course gourmet dinner for two one night. Rates start at just $699 per couple complete.
- Cape Cod Vacation: Ahhhh…Summer at Last
When I was a little girl my family took a two week Cape Cod vacation every summer in a little cottage in Brewster right on Cape Cod Bay. Those two weeks were always magical. Days were filled with visits from family and friends, lots of lazy hours exploring the tide pools in front of our cottage, and evenings punctuated by the sweet smells of sand and sea wafting up from the beach. I remember weekly band concerts on the town green, fishing for flounder in Town Cove in Orleans, and the drive-in movie theater in Wellfleet. We never missed an opportunity to see the sunset over Rock Harbor, enjoy an ice cream treat at Cobie's, or shop for penny candy at the Brewster General Store. Those memories are among my fondest, though decades have passed since we last vacationed here.
Now as innkeepers on Cape Cod, Rich and I are in the position of helping create memories for our guests at the Inn. Each morning at breakfastwe inquire what folks have planned for the day and offer up dozens of possibilities for those who ask for our assistance. Looking for the perfect beach? No problem. We've got you covered. We even have printed directions for those who need it, a cooler if necessary, and of course beach chairs, towels and totes. Feel like an adventure on the high seas? Slam dunk. Whale watching on the Hyannis Whale Watcher out of nearby Barnstable Harbor. We can even save you the price of parking by providing a voucher for a discount. Think a ferry to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard might be the perfect daytrip? Give us a second and we'll book your ferry tickets online and produce directions to the satellite parking area. Perhaps you'd like to do a driving tour of the lower Cape and check out a lighthouse or two; take a bike ride on one of the paved bike trails; kayak the Great Marsh; or shop 'til you drop. We've got a map, blog article, or brochure that will point you in the right direction. Need recommendations for lunch, dinner, the closest farmer's market, or the best clam shack? Been there, done that.
Our guests are often amazed at the wealth of information we provide, the amenities we offer in the rooms for their convenience, and the honest-to-goodness joy we take in sharing our knowledge of Cape Cod with them.
Both Rich and I are "from away" though each Massachusetts natives. We choose to live on Cape Cod and built a business here that allows us to do so year-round. Our guests visit for just a few days, though we are convinced that you could spend weeks here and not see all that the Cape has to offer. If we can help to make your vacation a memorable one, one that you will think back on often and smile, then I believe we have served you well. And perhaps you will return again and again.
- Serving Up Homemade Jam at our Cape Cod Inn
We buy all the jams and jellies we serve to guests of the High Pointe Inn from the Chatham Jam and Jelly shop right here on Cape Cod. Of course, as a small business on this magnificent peninsula, we support as many other local businesses as we can. But the Chatham Jam and Jelly shop is really something special. What started as a way to earn some extra cash during the busy tourist season some 30 years ago, has blossomed into a full time career for Carol Cummings and her husband Robin, along with help from their children. In the beginning she made small batches of jam based on family recipes in the kitchen of their home to sell at local gift shops. But their popularity soon soared and the Mom and Pop operation needed to expand quickly to fill orders and meet the demand, so the business eventually took over both their living and dining rooms as well. Their tiny storefront on Vineyard Avenue in Chatham that has served them well since 1983, however, is about to expand once more.
Chatting with them yesterday, when we stopped in to pick up our latest order, we found out that the entire shop will be moving to a new location, hopefully this August, where Carol will have a licensed commercial kitchen in a new facility at 16 Seaquanset Road in West Chatham. There she will once again be able to create her chutneys and relishes, along with the jams and jellies for which she is so famous. They were busy picking out counters and cabinets to hold the nearly 120 varieties they already produce annually and talked excitedly about adding even more creative concoctions to the inventory.
When we first sampled their jams nearly 10 years ago to choose the ones we thought our guests would enjoy most at breakfast, it was an extremely difficult decision. Should we go with standbys like strawberry and blueberry, or more exotic varieties like cranberry fig or spiced peach? In the end we chose something native to Cape Cod (Wild Beach Plum) something traditional (Raspberry), and something a tad more unusual (Cranberry Vanilla). Our guests love these jams, as evidenced by the number of times we need to reorder.
In addition to their jams and jellies, the Chatham Jam and Jelly Shop also carries an assortment of gift items. Store hours are 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Saturday. As a courtesy to our guests who can't make the trek down to the shop to purchase items to take home to friends and family, we stock a few jars in our gift shop here at our Cape Cod Inn as well.
- The Simple Pleasures of Life on Cape Cod
So I'm up early this morning. Force of habit, I guess, as strangely we had no guests at the Inn last night. It being Monday night of Memorial Day weekend, I'm not surprised. Most everyone had to cross the bridge to return to "America" leaving their idyllic escape on Cape Cod behind. Back to reality, routine, and keeping pace with the rhythm that carries them day to day.
Anyhow, for the first time in the nearly 10 years we have been innkeeping on Cape Cod I have the pleasure of having coffee on the deck, reading the paper while listening to the birds singing, and enjoying the sunshine that evaded us until yesterday. Man I could get used to this.
The silence of the early morning, before alarm clocks chirp and buses swing by to pick up school children, is hypnotic. I am entranced by a humming bird at the feeder, the distant purr of cars cruising along scenic Route 6A, and the gentle burble of the fountains in the courtyard below. The blue sky and green grass seem more intense this morning, perhaps because of the gray of recent mornings.
The deck is freshly painted and the furniture scrubbed clean of winter's grime. The hanging baskets and potted plants are basking in the sun. The bird feeders are filled and the bird bath ready for action. It is summer finally and we are ready. Ready to greet our guests with smiles, counsel them on the best ways to take in the beauty that is Cape Cod, serve them coffee and breakfast al fresco, and create an ambiance that affords them an opportunity to truly unwind and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
Like coffee on the deck.
- Cape Cod Getaway: The Ultimate Package
Our guests frequently ask us what the ultimate Cape Cod getaway activities are when visiting Cape Cod. We have our favorites, of course, and we are happy to share advice, offer counsel, make reservations and otherwise assist guests at our inn on Cape Cod however we can. We want each and every guest at the High Pointe Inn to have the most authentic experience possible while staying with us.
A Welcome Book bursting at the seams with great "insider information" sits on the desk in every guest room. We have a "Directions To…" box loaded with pre-printed directions to our favorite off-the-beaten-path destinations, restaurants, and beaches located right at the front door so guests can grab whatever they need for a day of spectacular sightseeing. And just recently we added a photo slide show of some really beautiful shots of the Cape that Rich has taken over the years to the guest computer in the living room. Sort of a "preview of coming attractions" for arriving guests.
But today we decided to take it one step further and add what we are calling the "Ultimate Cape Cod Getaway Package" to our roster of great specials and packages. This would be the perfect package for a honeymoon, first time visitor to Cape Cod, or for anyone wanting to see what makes this destination so special. In five leisurely days you can take a day trip to Nantucket via high-speed ferry, experience the thrill of a whale watching adventure on Cape Cod Bay, dine at one of the most romantic restaurants on Cape Cod, and enjoy the laid-back luxury of a one-hour side-by-side couples massage in the comfort and privacy of one of our spacious and elegantly appointed rooms or suites. A bottle of hand-selected wine and a specially prepared cheese board are yours to enjoy whenever the spirit moves you during your stay.
This extra-special package is available from mid-May to mid-October, with rates starting at just $1999 complete. Here is a round-up of the highlights of this one-of-a-kind vacation package:
- Five nights in a spacious ocean-view guest room or garden suite with deck.
- A 3-course gourmet dinner for two one night.
- Round trip high-speed ferry tickets to Nantucket.
- Two adult Whale Watch excursion tickets.
- One-hour side-by-side in-room couples massage.
- A bottle of red or white wine in your room on arrival.
- A cheese and cracker platter in your room on arrival.
- Full farm-to-table hot breakfast each morning.
- Afternoon home-baked treats.
- 24-hour hot coffee and tea.
- Complimentary after-dinner drinks at the Inn.
- Access to our super-secret self-guided driving tours.

- April, My Favorite Month on Cape Cod (or anywhere)
I love April. It brings so many harbingers of spring. Today we saw an osprey sitting on top of the telephone pole where he built his nest for the past several years. Unfortunately hurricane Sandy and the subsequent Nemo blizzard destroyed whatever was left of last year's nest. Hopefully he won't get discouraged by having to start all over again and soon we will be seeing him with his partner in the nest high above the marsh.
Earlier this morning Rich pointed out a brilliant yellow gold finch at the feeder. This prompted me to put out the hummingbird feeder. No hummers have visited it yet, but I expect to see one soon. I've heard the spring peepers a couple of times and no doubt the skunk cabbage is fermenting by now in the swampy areas of the woods.
The daffodils are up in our yard about 7-8 inches and the lawn is definitely greening up, at least here at the high Pointe Inn on Cape Cod. Soon we'll see the sand dollars scattered on Sandy Neck Beach, and hear the street sweepers clearing the roads of winter's sand and debris.
Besides all the signs of spring, April is my birthday month. I can't help but be happy in April. It was my Mom's birthday month too. In fact today is her birthday. She would have been 96. So naturally I have been thinking about her a lot today. I pulled out this recipe card, handwritten by her ages ago. She was a wonderful baker, perhaps because had a sweet tooth, but I think mainly she just loved to make things with her hands. I remember waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread and donuts on Saturday mornings. How can you not be happy waking up to that?
So I'm sharing her recipe with you, with apologies for the lack of details, in honor of her birthday. If you try it, let me know how it works out.

- New for 2013 on Cape Cod
In a never-ending quest to entice more visitors to Cape Cod and to improve the experience for returning guests, new services, events, attractions and activities debut each year on this little peninsula we call home. Some are seasonal, some experimental, and others just a tip of the hat to what's currently hot elsewhere in the world. Never one to just sit back and rest on its laurels, Cape Cod, like a few other savvy tourist destinations, strives to keep pace with the demands of the market. As innkeepers here on Cape Cod, we applaud the efforts of so many local, regional, and state organizations to enhance our guests' vacation experience. Here in a nutshell, are a few of the most promising new offerings for 2013:
Rail Service from Boston to Cape Cod
A partnership among the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority, MassDOT, and the MBTA has resulted in rail service returning to Cape Cod after almost 25 years. Beginning Memorial Day weekend and continuing through Labor Day weekend, the CapeFlyer will offer rail service from Boston to Buzzards Bay and Hyannis. Trains will leave South Station in Boston on Friday nights and offer roundtrip service on Saturdays and Sundays. From the Hyannis terminal it will be easy to connect with local bus service on the Cape or hire a rental car. Transit time is expected to be under two hours and will allow visitors to skip the summer weekend traffic often encountered at the Sagamore and Bourne bridges. The final schedule will be available shortly at capeFLYER.com
First Ever Cape Cod Bird Festival
Birders rejoice. The Cape Cod Bird Club is hosting a three-day bird festival September 13th through15th at the Cape Codder in Hyannis. Birding expert, Pete Dunne from the Cape May Observatory, will be the keynote speaker. Among the scheduled activities are field trips to birding hotspots across the Cape; workshops led by birding specialists; a series of lectures; a pelagic trip; and much, much more. Enjoy fall birding at its best! Registration opens April 1st. For more information visit the Cape Cod Bird Club.org.
The Lanes Bowl and Bistro
Combine a 10 pin bowling alley and a casual bistro and what do you get? The Lanes Bowl and Bistro. Recently opened at Mashpee Commons, it is Cape Cod's first-ever boutique dining and entertainment venue. In addition to bowling, the bistro offers evening entertainment, an al fresco seasonal bar, and a bocce court. Aimed at busting the stereotypes often associated with a typical bowling alley, the Lanes offers upscale dining and contemporary décor in a casual environment. For more information, visit lanesbowlandbistro.com
HyARTS Cultrural District
Home to Cape Cod's first state-designated cultural district, the HyARTS Cultural District in downtown Hyannis encompasses cultural and historical attractions alongside local restaurants and shops. Open year round, and centered on the Kennedy Legacy Trail, the district celebrates the long and storied history of the Kennedy's and their influence on Cape Cod. The trail itself, a 1.6 mile self-guided route linking key locations along Main Street and the waterfront, features 10 signed stops offering a brief insight into the relevance of the site to the lives and works of the Kennedys. For more information visit kennedylegacytrail.com.

Whether you are filled with love and devotion for America and want to share those emotions with your customers and employees or maybe just have a 4th of July company picnic coming up, you are sure to find anything you need in our selection of patriotic products. From USA beach balls and stress relievers to flag key chains and pens, we've got you covered when it comes to the ole US of A. The most patriotic symbol of a nation is often considered to be its flag, which is probably why the majority of the products you see are those that are printed with a design inspired by the legendary stars and stripes, or even just simply the colors red, white and blue.
