The first 2 tests were resolved very quickly.
Let us do one more, a difficult one;
1.Which World Chess Championship is called the "Championship of the Losers"?
2.If the king has been touched with the intention to castle, as an illegal move, what happens?
3.In 1989 at the age of 14, a girl stunned the chess world by winning a tournament in Rome, which included several strong grandmasters, with a score of 8.5 out of 9. What is her name?
4.What is "Siamese Chess"?
5.White to play and mate in two:
Kg2,Qh5,Rf1,Rh2,Bh7,Nc1,Nc7,e2,f3
Kf4,Re8,Rf8,Bd8,Bg8,c4,c5
What is the mean key?
6.Which World Junior Chess-Champions became also World Champions?
7.What the term "Tempo" means in chess?
8.How many times Karpov and Kasparov meat each-other in a match for the world-title and how many the first one did win?
9.Who became the youngest grandmaster ever?
10.What is called a "Windmill"?

8. They squared off 5 times (Moscow 1984) (Moscow 1985) (England, Leningrad 1986) (Sevilles 1987) (New york, Lyon 1990). Karpov didn't win any match; the first one was cancelled because the match lasted too much longer for the taste of the organizers.
10. A windmill is a series of consecutives checks, while grabbing some material in the process. A perfect exemple is this game with the genious Torre who crushed none other than the mighty Lasker. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1100063

2. You have to move the King.
5. Check mate
8. 5 times, Karpov won once.
9. A Filipino guy. I forgot his name. He was only 14 years and one month.
11. Ray Duque III, the ballroom dancing dancer. Ops, sorry there is no number 11. 
Ray Duque III
New York City

5 days, 6 good answers,
I told, this one is more difficult.
The six good ones were;
1.Karpov vs.Timman (by Inaki)
It is called like this because Anatoly Karpov lost in the semi-finals from Gary Kasparov, and Jan Timman from Nigel Short.
2.King must be moved if possible, castling to the other site included, otherwise; no penalty (by Inaki)
3.Zsofia Polgar (master), the middle sister of the Grandmasters Susan (Szusa) and Judith.(again Inaki)
8.Five times, Karpov won once. (by Ray Duque3)
(Twinigo had even the dates correct, but in 87 Karpov won by default)
9.Sergey Karjakin from the Ucraine, in 2002, 12 years, 7 months, 0 days. (once again Inaki)
10.(by Twinigo, but the discription I have got includes the use 2 pieces only)
A combination in which two pieces (mostly knights included) work together to give a serie of checks, in that way, the king is forced to move on each turn.
